More Migrants
A call from Clarence Keith
on Brierbrook Road caused
me to drop the proof read
ing and grab the camera this
morning (Thursday) to try
to get a picture for you of
the flock of Canadian geese
in the field along the In-the
Oak- property.
All the way out there and
back I kept trying to recall
the song that was so popular
several years ago “My heart
knows what the wild goose
knows, and 1 must go where
the wild goose goes.''
There were 18 of these
beauties, like most wild life
apparently unconcerned about
traffic, but when Mrs. Hil
fiker and I walked across the
field to get within camera
range, they too walked, but
in the opposite direction.
One shot I did get but not
close enough to even distin
guish them from the back- ,
ground. i
Keith said they circled over i
about 9 this morning, but un
til “Footsie” Goodman called
bis attention to them he did ,
not know that had lighted ,
in the field. Where they ,
came from, or why, is any- i
one's guess. Many are from
Canada when these took off ;
they headed without hesita- ]
tion to the south, destination
possibly South Carolina or i
even farther south. ,
Pat Nugent here at the i
NEWS says that old timers ,
say when the geese fly south
it is because the weather has
turned cold up north. They
appeared to be resting, al- >
though they may have been t
feeding as they strolled along. |
What next? Week before ]
last and last week it was the
monarch butterfly. i
Marquetry
If you have been following
the activities of the boys and
girls in the North Fork Ra
ven’s club you have noticed
their interest and accomplish
ment with marquetry. For a
close look at the pictures made
by these club members un
der the tutelage of Dr. Lil
lian Rich, notice on the wall
at the Northwestern Bank
where they are displayed.
Some of them approach the
professional look (at least to
a non-pro such as I). The
proper fitting of these tiny
sawed pieces of wood to make
a scene, takes patience as
well as endurance, and is a

new hobby which is gaining
in favor. You will notice
that most of the color in these
pictures comes from the
woods themselves, with a spot
here and there given a touch
if paint such as in leaves and
eyes.
Perhaps you have seen the
ivork done by a Mr. Bader,
member of the Southern Ap
palachian Crafts Guild as he
displays his work each year
luring the Fair. The finish
ed product is quite expensive
ind such a hobby could well
become a fine source of in
•ome for any of these young
sters in future years.
\'outh Work Continues
Even if the regular season
pf the Operation Youth re
•reation program has ended
:he work continues in another
field and from another source.
William Coulter, physical
.duration major, and teacher
it the Black Mountain elemen
tary school this year, is carry
ng on an after school train
ng period with the seventh
pud eighth grade boys in foot
jall.
This is the type activity
Operation Youth had hoped to
parry out in the school with
the aid of a part time di
rector and the teachers.
Somehow, the way it was set
jp and because of conflicts,
it never worked. This year
the boys have an enthusias
tic leader in Mr. Coulter and
they are VERY interested in
earning the fundamentals of
football. This is important to
them because they must com
pete in high school for posi
tions on the team with boys
who have been trained since
»arly years and they are at a
disadvantage. This training
will show when the whistle
blows for next fall’s practice
ind in years to come.
School Improvements
While at the school to see
tha above named gentleman
Mrs. ICnight gave me a tour to
: how the latest playground
improvements. Pictured else
where you will see a part of
the school grounds toward the
north side that perhaps
you’ve never noticed before.
The concrete basketball court
has been literally “unearthed”
end is now in use as is the
volley ball court. With the
removal of weeds which had
covered the whole area and
sand now filling all other
L^pace, the playground ares
has been considerably en
larged. Just in time to set
these improvements Dr. Hof
fman, member of the South
ern Association team, visitec
the school and seemed ini
pressed that suggestions math
by the group last spring art
neing carried out.

Human Harmony
Lesson for October 8, 1963
Rible Material: I Corinthians 1
through 4.
Devotional Reading: Ephesians4:1-7.
0 ONE needs to be told that
' harmony is one of the great
laws of the Universe; some would
say the greatest. This does not
mean that we always find har
mony where it ought to be, or
that it is easy to produce and to
maintain. It does
mean that failure
of harmony where
harmony should
be is always baf
fling and painful,
and can be fatal.
From the car en
gine in which the
cylinders do not
work with the
Dr. Foreman rhythm the de
signers intended, on to the human
being who is (as we say) “all to
pieces,” loss of harmony is al
ways bad. To live in harmony
with yourself, your fellow men
and God is the road to life, the
road to peace.
Broken harmonies
When we look at life around us,
we see tragic need for harmony
in the very situations and institu
tions where you would have a
right to expect harmony of a high
degree. Look at the American
family today, look at the divorce
problem. This is more than a mat
ter of husband and wife bickering,
as if their quarrels affected them
selves alone. An able probation
officer in a large American city
has gone on record as saying he
has yet to see a juvenile delin
quent from a home where there
was harmony between father and
mother. The capital city of our
country is plagued by crime of all
sorts, and the authorities lay the
blame less on the police force
(who are doing all they can) than
on the “breakdown of parental
authority.” Homes where there is
disruption between man and wife,
parents and children, are no help
to society, but sore places, trou
ble-spots, breeders of disruption
in other circles.
When we turn from the family
to almost any aspect of public life,
what strikes the mind again is
feuding—in business, social life,
politic*!, even in the church. You
would think that in the church oi
Christ the very atmosphere would
make quarrels impossible. Yet
the experience of today mirrors
the experience of the early Chris
tian church. The same people to
whom Paul writes as “sanctified
in Christ Jesus,” and “not lacking
in any spiritual gift,” are quarrel
ing among themselves. The first
three chapters of I Corinthians
are devoted to this problem of
quarreling Christians.
me Basic nurmunj
Paul brings out the truth that
there is one basic harmony on
which all others are built. Without
i this basic harmony every other
attempt at it falls in failure. This
is the harmony between the Chris
tian and God, and of course this
means between the Christian and
Christ. He does not so much urge
the Christians to “behave” and
to “make up” as he urges them to
remember whose they are and
whom they serve. It is through
| God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
* —that the jarring factions in the
| church find the solution of their
1 quarrels. The more we think of
* other Christians as other Chris
L tians and not just as others—out
fl siders, opponents, roadblocks to
H truth and progress—the closer we
* shall come to that harmony which
| in its perfection we shall never
§ see in this world. The church can
g not come before God with its dif
| ferences all ironed out, its har
jjj monies restored, and offer God its
| self-made harmony and peace as
» a gift from us to Him. On the
S contrary, the church’s disharmo
nies, quarrels, factions, once we
are truly united to Christ and de
voted to His cause, will begin to
perish for lack of pride, the essen
tial diet of dissension.
Motives
What motives inspire those who
seek harmony especially with
their fellow-Christians? Is it that
h we don’t want to be bothered by
p arguments? Is it for efficiency’s
sake that we lay our feuds aside?
Is it that we want to present a
solid front to the world? These
may be motives, but not the best.
Paul speaks of two motives pro
; moting true Christian harmony
between man and man, in the
church or out. One is the “fellow
ship of our Lord Jesus." We be
long to Him, every Christian does.
I We belong neither less nor more
i than others. Boasting and shoving
t are out of order. The other mo
! tive is service for Christ. As Paul
and Appollos are very different
men, worked each in his way
without conflict, so may all of us
unite—not always in ideas, but
always in Christian service.

"BY OUR VERY NATURE"
Roger B. Christiansen, Pastor
Blue Ridge First Church of God
The Bible conveys to us. in Genesis 1:27, that “God created man in
His own image, in the image of God created he him " Each person is an act
of God; his mind a thought, his life a breath of God.
Our Father placed us here so that lie could have fellowship with us
and so that we could worship Him. That is why, when a man is away from
God, he is not where he naturally belongs. We are incomplete in our physi
cal, mental, and spiritual makeup until we are in fellowship with our
Maker. When a man is complete in God, he is at home—he is where he
belongs. For God thoughts, his will, his love, his judgments are all man’s
home.
As human beings, we were not created for Hell, but for Heaven.
By the very fact that we are living souls, we deserve the Heaven God has
prepared for us. But, even though we deserve Heaven, Heaven must not
be our first and only thought. Keep your eyes on Christ and your world
will be heaven on earth. We should learn to see the divine, the celestial,
the pure in the common, the near at hand, for Heaven lies about us here
in this world.
Man is a religious being; the heart instinctively seeks God. Man is
essentially devout. Being naurallv devout, we are happiest when serving
God. To be successful in life, we should be what God intended us to be.
On this page, you can find a list of many churches—ranging in size
from a handfull to a multitude. These churches are here to put those who
listen in touch with God.
Remember. “If your religion does not take you to Church, it will
not take you to Heaven.” For the Church is the body of Christ here on
earth. Come back to God where you belong if you have gone astray. For,
although we deserve Heaven, we can lose it by neglect.
