THE PERQUEIAU3 WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY. MAY 31, 1940 PAGE THREE C" SUNDAY SCUttQL LESSOfi J. I TESTING HABITS BY iTHEIR 'i ; USEFULNESS International Sunday School Lesson foe June 2, 1940 ' GOLDEN TEXT: "By their ' fruits ye shall know them.", Matthew 7: 16. (Lesson Text: Exekiel 15:1-6; Matt 5:lM6;7:16-20; I Cor. 10:6-7) It is diffieuSt for us to overestir mate the importance of habit in oun every-day life and the part that must be assigned to it in the explanation of both thought and action. As a matter of fact, in the adult, prac tically no act is independent of habit. Habit frees the individual from the need of constant thought and enables him to devote himself to the general ends to be attained and to the ac quisition of new skill. Granted the supreme importance of habit for the individual and for society, it is evident that it is essen tial that right rules be followed in order to develop suitable habits. Every act of an individual leaves its mark upon that person's nervous system, and these marks, in the end, make the man. When a habit is recognized aa good, every occasion possible should be utilized for exe cuting the habit, and, of course, vice versa. It is important for the devel opment of a good character that the individual endeavor to choose good habits and to check the bad. Grad ually through repetition, a stock of habits will be acquired that will de termine one's manners, morals and efficiency. The social results of evil . habits are clearly revealed in history. Events have certainly proven that righteousness exalte th a nation but that the path of wickedness leads to defeat and death. Ezekiel, who lived and labored among the exiles in Babylon, wrote about the sins of his people. The children of Israel had formed the habits of forgetting and disobeying God, of disregarding ethical principles and of participat ing in various kinds of evil prac tices. As a result of their sins, Jerusalem was razed, the beloved Temple de spoiled and desecrated, and the Is raelites themselves were driven into exile in Babylon. The prophet de clared that the Lord had made their land a desolation because of the abominations which, they had com mitted. The only 'promise that he tould give them was that If the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby." (Ezek. 33:19). i We should watch ourselves very closely, realizing that if it is possi ble for us to form habits which are helpful and uplifting among our fel lowmen, then we shall need to form the habits of worship, work, kind ness, honesty and sincerity. Such habits as these help us to resist temptations, to be steadfast, and to be dependable. Such, habits as cheat ing, lying and moral dishonesty are impediments to noble diving end to every kind of high endeavor. The test of character is conduct, and our conduct is controlled by our habits, good or bad, William James declared that ninety-nine hundredths of our activity is purely automatic and habitual, from our rising in the morning until our . lying down to sleep each night. Therefore, the formation of good habits should be clearly apparent. Jesus declared, "Ye shall know them by their fruits" (Matt. 7:16- 20). While we may pretend for a while and deceive some people, in the long run our habits will betray us if they are not what they should be. Jesus also declared that his true disciple does the will of the Father, and his moral behavior is like salt and lights-salt that saves from corruption and light that shines in the darkest places, bringing brightness and cheer. The world is judging Jesus Christ by the lives and habits of Chris tians. Let .us examine ourselves closely and see just what picture of Christ we are portraying to the world. Jesus had the habit of pray er of regularly and often commun ing with his Heavenly Father. Do you have this habit? Jesus regular ly attended the services in the syna gogues and joined, in reverent wor ship of prayer and praise. Do you? Jesus formed the habit of sympathe tic understanding and helpfulness, sharing the burdens others were bearing, performing acts of kindness everywhere as they presented them selves. Have you formed this habit? Freshman advisory council and church socials. . . On graduation from the University Brinn expects to enter business. County Girls Elected Baptist Student Council Two Perquimans County girls, Blanche Chappell and Margaret Broughton, have been elected to the Baptist Student Council of East Car olina Teachers College next year. Miss Chappell will continue her work in the same position she has held this year, president of the Young Woman's Auxiliary.

"Trade Here and Bank the Difference" ' ; , - -: Campaigners Were Very Considerate Of County Voters Political Rallies and Stump Speeches Is Thing of the Past For the first time in recent years, if not in the entire history of politics, candidates did not take the stump in Perquimans County and toot their horns in behalf of their candidacies during the campaign which came to a close Saturday. In years past as many as six or seven political speeches were made in the course of a campaign by can didates for high and low offices. It is possible that the day for political oratory is about spent as far as the people of Perquimans County ar concerned. Local campaigners in particular have been very considerate of Per quimans County voters, but there's a second primary in the offing, and it is possible the political battle will establish a front somewhere within the county boundary lines. Why the rally plan was abandoned this year is not quite clear. The raMies in New Hope, Belvidere, Nicanor, Winfall, Bethel and Hert ford, always provided more amuse ment and cat-calls and heckling than irrevocable statements of platform, but nevertheless had always been popular in Perquimans County. Pasquotank, it is noted, conducted the precinct rallies this year as usu al. And ordinarily Perquimans would have heard Evans, Leary, Hughes, Gatling and Holmes, as much as three or four times as well as the five candidates for representative and the nine for county commission ers. It is possible that the number of candidates would have made it diffi cult to give each of them more than three minutes to be heard. The raflly drew a crowd, however, and there are those who feel there was no election without precinct rallies. NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Having qualified as Administrator of the estate of Caleb T.
