North Carolina State University. THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1975 Read I John 4:7-11 Their hearts had felt strangely warm as he talked with them and explained the Scriptures during the walk down the road. (Luke 24:32, TLB) The basis of a good world, or home, depends on how much we love each other. Because her advice had been scornfully dismissed, the mother of a frustrated and rebellious teenage son was tempted to become angry. She could have belittled him by saying, "For goodness sake, go ahead and do it your way. We're tired of your insults!" But hesitating momentarily, she remembered the Lord's love and patience in her own life and quietly said. "Well, that's different than 1 would do it, but go ahead and try it." Thus she continued to relate to her son, keeping the way open for further communication. Acceptance, love, and understanding do not necessarily mean agreeing, but rather just continuous walking together. Can we not walk together with others and warm their hearts with Christ's winsome influence as He did? PRAYER. Teach us to walk uprightly with those about us, 0 Father, warming their hearts with your good news and helping motivate them to some service for You. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: We will let the love of God radiate through us to others. -copyright- THE UPPER ROOM --Leona Schreg (Moundridge, Kansas) Safety in numbers. Take stock in America. Buy US. Savings Bonds. Drive Begins For Memorial Gifts To Library By Ruth McEachern Getting together SI 00,000 as a commemorative gift for the Bicentennial celebration here isn't exactly the easiest undertaking conceived in the 200 years of American independence. Neither was the task of raising $48,000 for the High School stadium a few years ago. Ask Raz Autry, John McAllister, CJJ. Bounds, Ashwell Harwood, Sarah Howell, or any of dozens of others who contributed-often sacrificially-time, money, and energy. Elisha Dial and Rodney Locklear did not find it easy to get a good school for Indians established at Hawkeye some decades ago. But today, James Albert Hunt, Roy Maynor, Jesse J. Locklear, and many additional leaders in economic, educational, and civic endeavors attest to the dedication of two Indian leaders to the people of Hoke County. Not easy, either, was the establishment of Raeford Institute in 1895. Raising funds for the construction, equipment, and more importantly, for attracting teachers of outstanding merit to the school, was an almost unbelieveable goal set by such leaders as John W. McLauchlin, Dr. AJ\ Dickson, A.A. Williford, Neil Blue, T.B. Upchurch, and many, many more. In the dim distant past, a war that in this area was largely fratricidal, saw a young mother lose her husband when a neighbor, loyal to the Englidt crown, killed him because he believed in the cause of American freedom. Later she saw two of her brothers marching with the King's men while a third was bearing arms in the American cause. Hoke's economic woes today pale in comparison with some of the experiences that make local history. $76,022.79 is the amount on hand and in reliable pledges to the Bicentennial Library fund as of this week. Of that amount, approximately $4,500 has been given in memory of past Hoke countians who contributions to today's blessings cannot be measured tool Several months ago I led a tour to the Holy Lands of the Middle East. On the itinerary were visits to Greece, Egypt, Lebanon, and Israel. Although the purpose of our pilgrimage was to focus on Christianity, we also had an opportunity to observe the relics of other ancient religions: those of tine Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Canaanites, and the Phoenicians. Particularly impressive were the pyramids in Egypt, the Parthenon in Athens, and the colossal Roman ruins at Baalbek in Lebanon. Even if Herod's temple in Jerusalem had survived today, Judaism would still have no architectural monument to even come close to competing with these. The Jews were not builders of monuments. Yet, it seemed to me, that great and amazing as these monuments are even today, Judaism - and ultimately Christianity ?? have something else that greatly over - shadows the greatest of all religious monuments: a moral imperative! By contrast, the ancient religions of the Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Canaanites and Phoenicians were primarily religions of ritual. Their focus was the use of ritual. Their focus was the use of ritual and sacrifice to influence capricious gods. Winning the favor of the gods was primarily a matter of what one did in the temple. Religion had very little to do with affecting the moral tone of society. By contrast, Judaism was very much concerned with the morals by which people lived their daily lives. Although for many years Jewish worship was centered in the temple at Jerusalem, the prophets and others emphasized the primacy of the moral laws. Right living, they said, was much more important than right worship. We can see this same thrust in the early law codes of Israel. In Leviticus, for example, God lays it on the line: "You shall be holy; for I the Lord your God am holy" (Leveticus 19:2). The term "holy," means "special," "set apart." They are not to be like all others; they are to be unique. And their uniqueness will be their morality, just as the uniqueness of the Hebrew God, in contrast to the pagan gods, is in his holiness, or moral perfection. The Jewish conoept of holiness was revolutionary. It indicated, for example, that there must be a concern and provision for the needs of "the poor and the sojourner" (19:9,10). Something extra should always be left in the field and vineyards to feed those who cannot provide adequately for themselves. A portion of what every man harvests should be set aside for the needy. Helping others was never an optional matter. It Is dear that God UfcO requires truthfulness in dealing with others and honesty in all business matters. Particularly, let there be no rfiortweighting of the customer (19:35). Also God is concerned that we do not take advantage of or cause any harm to those who are at a disadvantage. Coercing our neighbor is no less > dishonest than robbing him. In dollars. A permanent record will be kept of all memorial gifts. A "Book of Honor" will be used in the Bicentennial library to enroll those in whose memory-or honor-gifts are made in the amount of $100 or more. If the gift is $500 or more, the name of the honoree will be inscribed on a plaque to be hung in a general area of the library. Gifts of $5,000 or more will be designated by naming a specific area of the library for the person or family honored, with a plaque suitably inscribed. Gifts for specific items such as tables, chairs, books, etc. also will bear the memorial designation. Hayes-Howell Associates of Southern Pines, the architectural firm retained by the county commissioners, are confident that preliminary engineering tasks will be completed in time for bids to be taken in late May or early June. Additional money for the construction will be allocated by the county and city from Revenue-Sharing and other funds. According to Ralph Barnhart, chairman of the county's Board of Commissioners and an ardent supporter of the library, adequate library facilities is a long felt need. Almost ten years ago planning was in progress toward eventual construction. Other needs, however, seemed more urgent, and plans for the library had to be temporarily abandoned. Interest in the past is growing with Bicentennial activities; and with Hoke's concern for progress in educational and cultural as well as economic achievements, the $ 100,000 Bicentennial pledge was the impetus needed for renewed library planning. A special drive for memorial gifts to reach the remaining goal of $23,000 is being undertaken in the belief that Hoke countians wish to appropriately honor those who have made such generous contributions to the county's history.
