t I?- a mmmm FRIDAY, THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, OCTOBER 8, 1941 PAGE SEVEN GOD QUE HEAVENLY FATHER. itcrnstioaal Sunday Sckool Lesson for October 5, 1941. Golden Text: ?Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Th7 . Name." Matt. 6:9. Lesson Text: Gen. 116-28; Matt. 6:2, 24-33 .With this lesson, we begin a new quarter and a new series of discus- ' sioris, the. aim of which is to famil iarize the' pupil with, great Christian , teachings with a view to building up Christian Faith and life. During the next three months, we will consider the following subject: "God Our Heavely Father," "Christ Our Sav Jpur," "The Holy Spirit Our Helper," "Civic Responsibility Regarding Bev erage Alcohol," "Sin and Its Conse quences," "Repentence and Faith," "Union with Christ," "Prayer and Thanksgiving," "Christian Love," "The Nature and Work of the Church," "Christian Stewardship," "The Coming of God's Son," and "The Christian's Hope." It is proper that we begin such a series of lessons with a consideration of God. There are what might be called six different attitudes or con victions regarding Him. There is first: atheism, which says there is i no God; then agnosticism, which says vjnai we do not Know mere is a uoa, and that it cannot be definitely as certained whether or not there is a God; thirdly, there is polytheism, f'ich is the religion declaring there i many gods: Egypt, Babylon, me and Greece were all polytheis in their religions; fourthly, there is pantheism, which says that God is in every thing. Most of the religious systems of India are pantheistic, which accounts for the fact that they worship elephants, and sows, and all the rest of the animal creation. Fifthly, there is the scheme of deism, so prevalent during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, but now distinctly in the decline, which as serts that though God originally made the universe, He now is aloof from it, transcendant above it, takes no part in its affairs, and in no way participates in the lives of men and Vhe rise and fall of nations. Finally, there is theism, which affirms there is one soverign God, who rules the universe, who guides and redeems .and loves men. The entire Bible is theistic in its attitude. The Chris tian religion is the great theistic in its , attitude. The Christian religion itf the great theistic . faith of the world." (Dr. Wilbur M. Smith). While men has never been able of himself and through his own wisdom, to come to a true knowledge of God, God has revealed Himself to man in three distinct ways through Hi in spired Word, the Bible; through Hid works; and through His bon, our Lord Jesus Christ Our lesson con aiders particularly the revelation of God in His Word. We learn something of God when we consider the statement in Genesis 1:27: "And God created znan in His Own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female creat ed He him." Hence we assume that the human body, as divinely fashion ed in Eden, was not out of harmony with the divine form and essence. Man is self-conscious, he can say "I", knowing and distinguishing himself from personalties and objects. The same is true of (jod; lie is also a person with self-consciousness and! egoity. In this respect, man is like Him, made in His image, but with the difference that God is infinite while man is finite. God endowed man with a will, with intellect and with emotions. Here also is man like God, who knows and feels and wills. Man still bears the image of God, is still capable of knowing God, but the image has been marred by sin, the communion broken and these can only be restored through Jesua Christ, who is the perfect image of God, both God and man. What is God's relationship to man ? That is answered by Jesus Himself, when he speaks of God as "Our Heavenly Father." The normal re lationship between father and son is one of love. The father, loving the son, provides for the son's needs, exercises watchful care over him, guides him and desires for him every possible opportunity for him to develop into the finest! possible man who lives the happiest possible life. This is true of our Heavenly Father. While it is sometimes necessary for an earthly father to discipline his son, because he loves him, so often our Heavenly Father, God, has to dis cipline His children. This disciplin ing is often misunderstood, but in the end is always best for those dis ciplined. What should man's relationship be to God? The love between the son and the father should be reciprocat ed. Therefore, if the son loves his Heavenly Father, he will be an obed ient son. The proof of our love to FOR SALE WOOD AND LUMBER DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME At Lowest Prices THACH LUMBER COMPANY HERTFORD - CENTER HILL ROAD Him far our obedience to His com-! aiandments, so states Jesus himself. True love has its obligations. It de tires to be pleasing to the loved one, to please the loved one and to do the things which the loved one desires. We cannot say, "Lord, Lord," and then not do the things which He has commanded us to do. While it is possible for God to love us when we do not love Him, 't is impossible for Him to have fellow ship with us. The privilege of fel lowship with God is the highest, loftiest, most exalted privilege ac corded to men, for if we have fel lowship with Him, we abide in His love, we can labor with Him to bring in His kingdom and, ultimately, to be with him in glory forever. 3 Traffic Fatalities During Eight Months The Highway Safety Division re ported this week that Perquimans County had 3 traffic fatalities charg ed against its 1941 .record at the close of the eighth month of the year. The 742 persons killed in traffic accidents in North Carolina streets and highways the first eight months of this year represented a 45 per cent increase over the 509 persons reported, killed in the same period last year, and the number killed through August of this year exceed ed the number killed through October of last year. "Although traffic fatalities all over the country have increased this year as a result of increased motor ve hicle registrations, soaring gasoline sales, the stepped-up tempo of life in general, and various other factors, North Carolina's record stands as a shameful commentary on the thoughtlessness, recklessness and inattention of our drivers," declared Ronald Hocutt, director of the safe ty division. "Only two states in the country have a higher mileage deajh rate than North Carolina and only one state is charged with a greater per centage increase in fatalities," he added. Sixty-six of the 100 counties show ed increases, 23 showed decreases and 11 stayed on a par with last year's record. Some of the heavier increases were recorded in Wake, Columbus, Davidson, Durham, Cum berland, Onslow, Pender and Samp son Counties. Some of the 1940 high fatality counties which are showing decreases this year are Forsyth, Edgecombe, Nash, Cabar rus and Catawba. "It looks like we are headed for the worst year in the state's history with respect to traffic deaths," Hocutt stated.

(Section 118 makes an exception to the right of way rule in the case of police and fire department vehicles, and to ambulances when the latter are operated on official business and the drivers thereof sound an audible signal by bell, siren or exhaust whistle). "(b) The driver of a vehicle ap proaching but not having entered an intersection and or juncture shall yield the right of way to a vehicle within such intersection and turning therein to the left across the line of travel of such first mentioned ve hicle: Provided, the driver of the vehicle turning left has given a plainly visible signal of intention to turn as required in section one hun dred and sixteen. "(c) The driver of any vehicle upon a highway within a business or residence district shall yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing such highway within any clearly marked cross walk or any regular pedestrian crossing included in the prolongation of the lateral boundary lines of the adjacent sidewalk at the end of a block, except at intersections where the movement of traffic is being regulated by traffic officers or traf fic direction devices." In other words, drivers are re quired by law to yield the right of way to the man on the right except in the case of (1) drivers already in the intersection and properly signal ling for a left turn, (2) pedestrians making a proper crossing, and (3) fire and police department vehicles and ambulances on official business. DEFENSE BOND QUIZ O. Do the retail stores receive any fee or percentage for the sale of Stamps? A. No. The retail stores are of fering their facilities as a patriotic service, just as banks, savings and loan associations, and others are giving their help in the sale of De fense Bonds. Q. How can I form the thrift habit necessary for me to buy many Defense Bonds now, to help the Government ? A. The easiest way is to instruct your employer or banker to hold back a small fraction of your salary or other income. Even 10 cents a day and a dollar on your birthday will mount up in one year to $37.60, the purchase price of a $50 Defense Bond. Bigger savings buy bigger bonds. Note. To buy Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office, bank, or savings and loan associa tion; or write to the Treasurer of United States, Washington, D. C. Also Stamps now are on sale at re tail stores. SUBSCRIBE IX) THE WEEKLY. OV 088 lis & "5- SS SsS-' est!" .
