Tux, $35.00 Woman's Viewpoint Discord Among Church Members Is Not Good By ANNE SEXTON The discord among members of a lot of our churches is something to ‘•talk” about. Temper, stub bornness and selfishness has taken te place of friendly, Christian fellowship. When there is choir practice a member will suggest a song. Per haps that doesn't agree with another and'before long one can feel the tension rising in the air. Eyes flash and hard looks are cast at one another. The director suggests softer, more melodious singing. She or he will say, “It’s not how loud one sings, but how well.” The chord is struck and only one or two sings. . . . the others are sulking and one can bearly hear the words comi g out of their mouths. Everyone seems to think the words were directed to them alone. And. instead of listening to the friendly, helpful suggestions of the director and trying them, they feel hurt and humiliated. . . . ready to give up the whole idea. What started out to be a pleas ant meeting and practice of Chris tian fellowship ends up with dis cord and hard feelings. It happens time and again in a lot of our churches. ! Perhaps some remodeling needs > to be done to the church. A com mittee is appointed to get the estimate of the cost and the easiest and most economical way it can i be done. j In a short while a “special" i meeting is called and the members j of the committee give their re ports. The discussion starts out I friendly with the people using 1 soft spoken voices. For awhile it ] looks as if thi • gs will go along i smoothly. Then someone comes up with another idea. An idea that doesn’t fit in with the eco nomic status of the church. How ever, it would look better, but the cost would be more and the extra money would have to be raised .... and the church is already in debt. Postmaster Helps Others Sunbury.—Frank Nixon, Sun bury's postmaster, says he often has to do a little extra to keep everyone happy, and not all of his duties are concerned directly with Uncle Sam’s mail. Recently he helped a brother and sister to get together again after they had been separated for The brother and sister had lost sight of each other and were actually living about 60 miles apart when the sister wrote to Postmaster Nixon seeking the whereabouts of her brother. He was able to Ideate him for her. ^ Her letter of appreciation fol Bethel, N. C. August 21, 1955 P. O. Box 451 j Dear Postmaster, , Sunbury. N. C.: Words cannot express how j grateful I am to you for sending me my brother’s address, Charles E. Brown, Eure, N. C. I dropped him a short letter and he located me yesterday. We were happily reunited after losing sight of each other for the past 26 years. 1 feel so good about it I just had to drop you a line and try in a small way to thank you for a wonderful deed of kindness.

In just a few minutes the soft voices become louder, the words spoken are clipped and short. Everyone tries to speak at one time and everyone thinks his or her idea is best. The meeting adjourns vfrith unfriendly thoughts towards one another and the pro ject remains just as it was in the beginning. Temper and stub borness has again taken the place of understanding, Christian fel lowship. What could have been done in just a short whlie with help and cooperation from all the church members now requires weeks, maybe months before an agree ment can be reached and the work begun. Once it is started everyone is ready to pitch in and give their all, but for awhile Christian fel lowship is • forgotten. I once heard a minister say that it wasn't the size of a church, nor the furnishings, nor wealth that made a GREAT church. It was, he said, our cooperation, help, and our love for one another, our fel lowman and our church. Have you ever heard someone j say, I would go to church, but I can’t stand Mr. or Mrs. So and So? I have. And I have often won dered what that person thought he would gain by feeling that way. He isn’t hurting the other fellow, i but he is hurting himself, hir [ family ar.d his church. I have known people to become angry with a minister or some other member of the church and move their membersthip. They don't stop and think over the sit uation, or discuss their problems, but act on the spur of the moment just to^ gain their way. Such people have a lot to learn in my estimation. ' The above situations have been ' going on in our churches and other social gaterings and meetings for ia long, long time. It just seems that the more prosperous our people become the more belli gerent, selfish, stubborn and tem permental we act and live. What ! do you think? From my viewpoint it looks as if stubbornes. selfishness and temper has taken the place of i the harmony and Christian fel lowship that should be the basis of ail church, and social gatherings as well as everyday living.
