CARTER'S CHAPEL NEWS 'ACORNS" By MRS. CARL K. PARRISH "THE TWO-WAY LIFE" On Friday afternoon of last week a broken piece of a magnet about one inch and a half long came into the possession of the writer. This jagged, rough, wrecked stick of iron was a part of a whole magnetic rod connected with the airplane that fell in the vicinity of Wilson's Mills last July. .'. Because of the convenience of the Situation, the writer tested the mag net by using car keys. One key the magnet did not attract it was brass. One key. it did attract it was steel. There were no elements in the brass key to match the elements of the magnetic power in the little rod; there were elements of likeness in the steel key. There was a two-way relationship between the magnet and the steel key. Now personal life is a two-way life There must be a taking of affection and trust, and there must be a giving of affection and trust. It is possible to use a machine; it is possible to enjoy a flower. But the only realistic way to deal with per Bons is to love them. Personal life is mutual life. It in volves action and reaction. If the ac tion is harmful, the reaction is venge ful; if the action is loving, the re action is love. In a. world of persons no one can act without dealing with the reaction gf other persons. Now the home is the world of persons. In an office men deal with reports, files, finances; to a shop people make or mend things; in a store, they deal with Merchandise;, in a school, many times, they deal with subjects and assign ments more than persons. But in a home, there is a personal factor. No where is life so strictly personal as in a home. Whatever increases gen uine mutuality enhances the family. Whatever exalts persons exalts the family. Whatever increases faith in life and others, and in God strength- Rev. L. E. Godwin filled his regular appointments Saturday and Sunday, Miss Ruby Grady of Mt Olive spent last week with her uncle, G.

We have many things for which to be thankful. God's blessings have been showered upon us. We have in this land all we need to eat, a large meas ure of security, and the freedom to live according to our own conscience. In temporal things the Lord has been good to us, and fr that we should be a grateful people. But good as these things are and grateful as they should make us, they are not the things that really - open our hearts to Him. It is significant that as material things are taken from us and as our lives are made hard, we become more ready to give thanks for what we have. It's the old story of the crushed rose giving off the perfume, the afflicted saint writ ing the sweet song. And surely this proves that the real basis of praise and thanksgiving . is not found in material things, but in gifts that are of greater value1 than all the favors of this world. Material things please us, but they do not satisfy. They demand thanks, but do not create a song from the heart. They do not make us sing out as the apostle Paul did in II Corin thians 9:15: "Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift." Three things are called unspeakable in Scripture. In II Corinthians 9:15 we read of the unspeakable gift a Saviour, who is beyond description, higher than our praise, lovelier than words can express. In I Peter 1:8 we are told of the joy unspeakable that is ours in our Lord Jesus Christ a joy that language fails to tell. In II Corinthians 12:4 Paul speaks of being caught up into heaven and hearing unspeakable words words with which we shall praise our Lord when we fully understand, a song of praise for Him that shall grow in beauty and in meaning as we learn to know Him better. The day of thanks this year will have meaning and value in the mea3 ure in which it is occupied with Christ. For those who do not know Him it cannot have real meaning, Some change in circumstance, come unexpected burden or some loss will sadden the heart and take away the thanks. But for those who have Him n their hearts, this will be another day of joy, another day to praise His names - another day to realize that lost, undone and hopeless as we were, He found us, brought us to Himself, and made us His "to the praise of the glory of His grace." "Thanks be unto God for his un speakable gift." Brunswick County Has Very Close Election Southport, Nov. 17.
