Three simple words —"Let us pray”—are the cue to the service you take part in when you go to an Episcopal Church. The Episcopal ser vice is called a corpo rate service — that is, we all take part in it. Thus, when the min ister says, "Let us pray,” it is a common effort. The prayers he uses are almost all printed, in the Book of Common Prayer. We don’t think it's any more unusual to pray out of a book than to sing out of a book. You see, we do it together. That’s one of the things we believe you’d en joy about being an Episcopalian — the feeling that you’re part of things. In the primitive church, in fact, clear back in Old Testament times, the main part of the religious service was praise and worship of God and earnest prajer for his aid and forgiveness. The sermon— or instruction part of the ser vice was secondary. In many churches to ay, however, the service is centered around the ser mon. The congregation sits back to listen or to be spectators, rather than being actual partici pants in the service. In the Episcopal Church, we join together in the worship and praise of God. You are m\ite to join us — today — in the active worship o God at the Episcopal Church near you. please Remember - WE ARE IN BUSINESS TO SERVE YOU, \ND IN THIS SERVICE WE PROMISE YOU EVERYDAY LOW PRICES ON ALL YOUR NEEDS.

She majored in ele mentary education, not in preparation for a teaching ca reer, but as a background for her therapy work. After grad uation from college she want ed more than anything to go to New York. Since Columbia University had occupational therapy to offer, she came east to complete her work. She lived at International House which was interesting in that students from all over the world lived there. One year was spent in study and months of the second year in practicing in different types of hospitals and other insti tutions which gave a variety of students. She was sent to Oteen for two months student training and while there de cided to return if she could get a job after graduation. “I loved this part of the coun try on first sight, it isn’t that I love it more than the west, it is different and not fair to compare them. I loved New York, too, but again I feel that comparisons are not just. When people live here they must not expect the same sort I of entertainment or atmos phere they find in a large town. You have to adjust and adapt yourself to your sur roundings.” This philosophy explains why Marilyn has fit ted into this community so well, she has been content with what was offered and hasn’t yearned for the things not available. During the first year she was doing occupational ther apy at Oteen she met and mar ried Bill. They lived at the hotel for a few months until the farm was ready for occu pancy and for the next four years they were “farm” peo ple while she continued her work at Oteen. In 1954 they took over the management of the hotel. They have two daughters: Rosalie, 6 and Car ol, 2. “Bill’s mother made this hotel a part of the commun ity, and the community a part of the hotel life,” she ex plained, “we have made very few changes because we have felt that the charm and at mosphere she developed here have been the drawing attrac tion. We try to give it a home-like appearance.” She smiled and continued, “Now I like modern furniture, but it would destroy exactly what we are trying to preserve if we changed our style of fur nishings, just as we do not have radios and television for every room.” Marilyn is a member of the Mormon church of Latter Day Saints at Royal Pines where I she teaches a Sunday school class. There were four other i children in her family, most of them still in the west where her mother also lives. The unique thing about Marilyn and her present work ! is her attitude toward it.

'‘esday, Dec. 12 at 6:30 p.m. 1 he women gather for a short business meeting at 5 p.m. in tee green room. The presi dent, Miss Virginia Buchanan will preside over the women and the men will meet in the sun parlor for their business meeting and election of new officers. The men will join "ith the women for the Joy ('ift program in the green room before the supper. The supper will be held in the dining room at 6:30 p.m. there Miss Buchanan will pre side. The guest speaker will be the Rev. Robert Gray of Black Mountain who will tell the Christmas story. There will be special music and Miss Elizabeth Hoyt will give the history for the year. Make reservation at the Inn for the supper. There will be a reception given on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 December 9, to honor the Rev. and Mrs. Stanley Ben nett and their two small sons. The Bennetts will arrive in Montreat from their mission work in Brazil on Friday. They will spend a few days with Miss Elizabeth Wilson in ‘‘White Haven.” All friends of the Bennetts are invited to come to the reception which will be held in the green room erating a hotel is a career, but in this instance it is one I didn’t choose. Most women select what they intend to pur sue as a career and work to ward it, as I did my therapy work. I don’t mean that I am not happy with the work, I love it because I love people.” Knowing how artistic she is and the variety of things she is capable of doing, we spoke of hobbies. “I don’t have any,” she said, “everything I make here is to fill some need. Instead of buying decorations for our tree at Christmas time, I make them because we want it like a home tree for our children and guests. If we need a picture for some par ticular place, I paint one, rath er than buy it.” “But you do enjoy doing these things,” I prompted. “Oh yes, but I mean that I don’t just sit down and paint for fun, or make decorations for fun, I do them because they are a necessity, they aren’t hobbies.” Many people have marveled at Marilyn’s artistic accom plishments, although she de nies she is artistic, no one who has seen the beautiful decorations at the Christmas season would agree with that statement. Her creations are exquisite and imaginative. She may not be actively engaging in occupational therapy as a profession, but the carry-over is a benefit to the community. The Monte Vista has become a community center. Civic clubs hold their weekly or monthly meetings there, social groups of all sorts meet there for bridge, style shows, club meetings, and parties. If Black Mountain had a com munity building it couldn’t be used more. Over the years since the couple have been op erating the hotel everyone has commented at one time or an other of Marilyn’s gracious ness, of her cheerful willing ness to do whatever is neces sary for her guests’ enjoyment and of her capabilities, espec ially in her unusual decora tions and her unique touch in the serving of something simple in lifting it out of the ordinary class into the su preme. For example, I re member apple juice being served in the lobby prior to an annual banquet one year, but the final touch was the lovely little clumps of apple blossoms in the punch bowl . . . who would have thought of that but Marilyn? As a mutual friend com mented; “We have had occa sion to visit in several of the hotels in small towns around here recently and there isn’t one of them that has either the good food or the pleasant atmosphere we have here. I feel sometimes as if we don’t appreciate Marilyn and Bill as we should.” Perhaps it isn’t that we don’t appreciate them; it is more likely that we just don’t SAY so as often as we should. So . • Marilyn, for being a creative, charming and grac ious hostess to all members of the community, and Bill, for being a capable and under standing manager, we all ex press gratitude and apprecia ri<>11 for your talents which have provided so many happy hours to so many of us. of the Assembly Inn. Rev. Stanley Bennett a former pas tor of the Montreat church who is now a missionary in Brazil, will tell of his work at the Sunday school hour at 10 a.m. in Gaither on Sunday, 10th. All friends are invited to this service. All friends of the Bennetts in Black Mountain or in other near by communities are invited to the reception on Saturday after noon. The worship service of the Montreat church was held in Gaither Chapel at 11 a.m. on Sunday. The pastor, Dr. Ar thur F. Fogartie preached on “The Person of Christ” II Corinthians 4:5. The flowers in the church were given by Mrs. John Car son in loving memory of Mrs. Florence N. Calloway an ac tive worker in the Women of the Church of Synod of Ap palachia. The music in the worship service was given by the Mon treat church choir as the church chorus under the direc tion of Allan Guy went to Old Fort Presbyterian church to sing and Dr. Stafford preached. After the service dinner was served in the church. The vesper service was held at 7:15 p.m. in Gaither chapel. The music group had the pro gram. The Christmas pro gram will be given on next Sunday night. The public is invited. The college will close for the Christmas holidays on December 15. All church ser vices will be held in the lobby of the Assembly Inn during the holidays. The prayer and study groups will meet on Wednesday at 3:30 in room 5 of Gaither, and at 7:15 p.m. in Gaither chapel. The program will be a Christmas message. This will be the last Wednesday service until January. A group of Juniors of the Sunday school with Mrs. Theil man teacher and Mrs. Carl Snyder visited the sick on Sun day afternoon and brought over baskets of fruit. Their visit was greatly enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Flan agan of Glover, S. C., visited Mr. Flanagan’s mother on Sunday. Also an aunt, Miss Rebecca Flanagan was here. Sam Woods, Jr. of Norfolk, Va., spent a few days with his mother, Mrs. Samuel Woods in the Grier cottage on Virginia road. He stopped in to see some of the neighbors while here. Miss Victoria Samburg a former Montreat college grad uate who is now with Merry ville College, Tenn., and Miss Mary Ruth Hoyt visited Mon treat over the week-end. It is always good to have the col lege graduates return on a visit. Mr. and Mrs. John Payne Williams are visting their son in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Norman Haynes in Ann Arbor, Mich. They are re joicing in the birth of twin girls born on December 1 to Mrs. Haynes the former Mar garet Williams. If you have enough work credits under social security, when you reach retirement age (65 if you are a man, 62 if you are a woman) you will be able to apply for and get social security benefits for months that you keep within the “annual earnings” or "monthly work and earnings” limitations under the Social Security Law. If you do not earn (in wag es and/or self-employment in come) over $1200 in a year, you can receive all your social security checks for that year. And—starting in 1961—if you earn over $1200 in a year, $1 of benefits will be with held for each $2 that you earn from $1200 up to $1500. But if your earnings go over $1500, you will lose $1 of benefits for every $1 that you earn over the $1500. However, no matter how much you earn or how much you work, your social securi ty check will not be withheld for any month in which you neither earn over $100 in wages nor are active in self employment (“rendering sub stantial services”). Of course, when you are age 72 (that is, starting with the month you reach 72) you can get a social security check for every month no matter how much you earn.
