This Is
The Law
Wilson orders S100 worth of
groceries from Taylor, agrees to
pay tor them, but instructs that
they be delivered to Johnson. Who
is legally obligated to pay for the
groceries?
In this ease. Wilson must pay.
I he agreement is not a suretyship
or guaranty contract. Although
Johnson received the groceries, he
has no obligation to pay for them.
Wilson bought the groceries from
Taylor and made a gift of them to
Johnson.
If no credit is extended to
Johnson, Wilson's promise to pay
for the groceries is binding.
However, the following case is
different.
Hudson says to Turner: "Buy
SI. 000 worth of merchandise from
Barker, and if on resale you suffer a
loss I will indemnify you." Turner
does as requested, and as a result of
the transaction he sustains a loss of
S200.
The agreement constitutes a
contract of indemnity and when
made orally remains valid.

Read 1 Peter 4: 12-16
"God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting
life." (John 3:16)
The enterprising young man had
constantly been warned about his
reckless driving, but he paid no
heed. "Don't worry. Nothing will
happen to me," he boasted to
concerned acquaintances.
But one night, after attending a
party, he was speeding along the
roadway as usual when he lost
control of the vehicle and crashed
into a wall. He was badly injured
and had to be hospitalized for
several weeks. A terrible price to
pay for carelessness! However,
during that period when he en
dured great physical pain, he
reflected on his folly and realized
that he had narrowly escaped
death.
In like manner, some of us travel
carelessly along the road of life,
paying little or no heed to the
warning signs given in God's holy
word. Ofttimes it takes a mishap
that brings suffering, physical or
otherwise, to awaken us to our
spiritual needs.
God loves us and has no desire
for any to perish. Despite our
indifference, our disobedience, and
our negligence. God loves us with
an everlasting love.
PRAYER: Dear Father, how much
do we love You? We live so
carelessly. Forgive us and teach
us Your way, for Jesus' sake.
Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
God disciplines because He
loves.

Christmas Seal
Reminders Mailed
Christmas Seal reminders are
currently being mailed to local
residents who may have forgotten
in the holiday rush to send their
Christmas Seal donation to the
Lung Association.
"Often in the hectic days before
Christmas, people misplace or put
aside their Christmas Seal appeal
letter." said Mrs. Richard Neeley,
Honorary Christmas Seal Chair
man for Hoke County. "For that
reason reminders are mailed to
those who have not responded in
some way. Even though the holiday
season is about over, it is not too
late to send in your Christmas Seal
contribution. The Mid-State Lung
Association, which serves Hoke
County, desperately needs our con
tinuing support to meet the in
creased demands of their program
of work in the local communities."
Out of every dollar received by
the Lung Association. 90 percent
stays right in Nofth Carolina to be
used in community and patient
service projects, such as respiratory
breathing equipment for lung pa
tients, smoking withdrawal clinics,
lung screening tests, plus other
projects that develop during the
year.
Educational material is provided
for local schools, public health
departments, hospitals, physicians
offices, and business firms. Medi
cal research is also being conducted
right here in North Carolina at
Bowman Gray Medical School. _
Duke University Medical School. 0
and at the University of North
Carolina.
The remaining 10 percent is used
by the American Lung Association
in the national program of medical
research and to provide local
affiliates with up-to-date educa
tional information relating to lung
diseases which affect children and
adults. Particular emphasis is
placed on asthma, chronic bron
chitis. emphysema, tuberculosis,
air pollution control and smoking
as related to lung diseases.
Contributions may be mailed in
the return envelope that accom
panied your Christmas Seals or sent
directly to Mid-State Lung Associa
tion, P.O. Box 1187. Aberdeen
(28315). Be sure to note if it is a
Christmas Seal contribution or a
special memorial donation.
Remember, every contribution, no
matter how small or how large, it's
'A Matter of Life and Breath.'
Get In Shape With
Moderate Exercise
Well. North Carolina, another
year is upon us. And as we pull out
our list of New Year's Resolutions,
pausing briefly to allow our eyes to
focus on the paper after 24 hours of
televised football, we notice the
,same promise we made ourselves
last year. "TJiis year we get intp
shape -? start exercising."
For a moment, just like last year,
our heads are dizzy with the zeal to
improve our health and become
physically fit. Visions of lost
weight, firmer stomachs, a single
chin, and the ability to leap
staircases in a single bound without
huffing and puffing, dance in our
heads. We are nearly overcome by
the urge to begin our exercise
program as quickly and vigorously
as possible. Wait a minute -? hold
on!
Being one year older and one
year wiser and quickly regaining
our senses we realize that change
will not come overnight. We also
know that after another twelve
months of relative inactivity and
twojweeks of solid holiday eating
the best thing is to enter our fitness
program gradually.
Being sensible people, we keep
the following guidelines in mind:
? Establish a regular program.
Walking for one hour three times a
week brings more benefit than
exercising to exhaustion once a
week.
- Learn your limitations. What
ever activity you can do for an h$yr
and still feel you could continue to
do for another hour is well within
your limits of physical endurance.
- Increase your level of activity
gradually. If you are accustomed to
walking, you should only run for
one or two minutes at a time, at a
comfortable pace. If you usually
play double tennis, play singles for
only ten to fifteen minutes and
build from there.
? Avoid physical activity on a full
stomach. Do not exercise sooner
than two hours after a full meal.
? Include proper calisthenics in
your program. Few sports strength
en all your muscles equally. Calis
thenics do and they are also a good
way to warm up.
- Warm up and cool down slowly.
Take four or five minutes at the
start of each session to stretch
muscles and bend joints before they
are worked vigorously. Toward the
end of the session, slow down your
speed, decrease the intensity of
your exertions, and end up by
walking five or ten minutes before
you stop altogether. 4
Here s hoping for a healthy new?
year!
