THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1941 PAGE SEVEj f SUiM SCHOOL LESSON itf AND ITS CONSEQUENCES Lesson International Sunday School for November 2, 1941 the force sof sin and-unrighteousness, We can euccetd if we will say with Paul, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Golden Text: "If we confess our sina, he is faithful and' right eous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unright eousness." I John 1:9. Lesson Text: GaL 6:7-8; I John 1:5-2; 6 Probably one of the most unpopu lar words in the minds of a vast ma jority of people in recent years has been the word, "sin." As a matter of fact, the word has been eliminated from the vocabulary of numbers of people, while others attempt to ex plain away sin by calling it "an error orjudgment, a misfortune, or even a disease of tile mind." The sinner is excused as a victim of circumstances, inheritance or environment. Just what is sin? Webster's Dic tionary gives as one definition: "Wilful transirression of the Divine law; or neglect of the laws of moral itv and religion." Another has de clared that sin is anything which stands between one and full and in timate fellowship with his creator, God. Man, in an effort to protect the numerous laws. Those who break Ahese laws are punished in a manner suitable to the offense. A good citi zen tries never to break the civil fTa. Besides these "laws of the land," there are what we might term "natural laws," those governing the mind and the body. In order to have a healthy mind and body, one has to obey certain laws of clean living and clean thinking, giving to his faculties exercise, proper rest and the right kind of food. Disobedience to these "natural laws" brings its punishment in the form of sickness and disease, which often result in a crippled body and a clouded mind. God also has laws which we call "moral laws," which, if broken, re sult in sick "souls," a more terrible disease than even a crippled body or 'clouded mind, because the pun ishment for violation of God's "moral laws," lasts for eternity. Disobedience to God is sin and, as Paul declared to the Romans,' "The wages of sin is death" (Rom. 6:23). There should be no need for argu ment here. Just as continued dis obedience to civil law brings life im prisonment and sometimes, the death' penalty, and continued violation of the "natural laws" brings death to the physical body, so continued and unforgiven violation of God's laws brings death to the soul eternally. All these truths are clearly set forth in our iScripture lesson in the hfbrds of the Apostle Paul, to the Galatian Christians: "Be not de ceived: God is not mocked: for what soever a man soweth. that shall he also reap." These words should cause many people to stop and think jin these days of selfish living, when Ijx seems that so many are bent on njothing but pleasure, with no thought of God or the future. Each one of us, no matter how we struggle to live the Christian life, is a sinner. Paul declared, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." We admit the truth of this statement, xnereiore, now can we escape the penalty of our sins? John, the beloved disciple of Jesus,' gives us the key: "If any man sin, we Aave an advocate with the Father, , x Jesus Christ, the righteous; and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." What a wonderful statement is this! Christ died for our sins. He bore on Calvary the curse which should have fallen upon us. He tasted death for every man. He became our sin that we might become his righteous ness. How can we avail ourselves of this wonderful salvation from the natural penalty of our sins? We must confess our sins, turn away from them, ask for forgiveness, turn to Christ in trusting faith, accepting - the forgiveness of sin and the settle ment which Christ has already made when he bore our sins in his body on v: the cross. After accepting the salvation offer ' ed, what next? Just because one has accepted Jesus Christ as his Saviour - ' If.-L ISA. I.. irciu wn ana muter ui aia. iu, is no reason to believe that he will never b tempted to sin again. The Chris- ; ' tlnn lift, Ja a nntiniinu f !o-rit Aflmlnat 1 sin. Jesus himself was tempted to sin. However, with Jesus as the. Captain of our salvation, the Holy v Spirit as pur Helper, the Sword of - (the Spirit as our weapon, the power ot the gospel as our assurance, we must continue to try to overthrow W Distributed In County Through Social Security Approximately $63,697.56 has been distributed in Perquimans County through operation of eight of the ten divisions of the Social Security Act, from its beginning and through June 30, 1941, it is estimated, on a basis of official figures, compiled by M. R. Dunnagan, Informational Service Re presentative, and announced by A. L. Fletcher, Chairman of the N C. Un-'Health Service8( are admini8tered by cational Rehabilitation, by the State Department of Public Welfare. Perquimans County, with no health department, received nothing for Ma- clal Security Act, the Federal Gov ernment provides one-half of the funds and the State and counties one fourth each, with a State equalizing fund to help the smaller counties. Prior to January 1, 1940, these three governmental units furnished one third each for Aid to Dependent Children. No county figures are available for Old Age and Survivors Insurance. Monthly payments in this division started after January 1, 1940, due to a 1939 amendment, after lump-sum payments for three years. This will, in due time, become one of the most important of the five major divisions of the Social Security Act. With practically accurate figures, it is evident, Chairman Fletcher points out, that $62,179.29 was dis tributed in this county to last July 1, in four of the five major divisions of the Act, exclusive of Old Age and Survivors Insurance. The other five divisions, classed as "services," are handled by State De partments. Three of them, Maternal and Child Health Services, Services for Crippled Children and Public employment Compensation sion. Normally, Unemployment Compen sation, or benefits to workers tem porarily out of jobs, is the largest item in the program, except in agn- ternal and Child Health Services: cultural counties. The more and ' nothing for Services to Crippled Chil larger the industries a county has, dren and nothing in Public Health the more jobless benefits it eets. Work, from r.ViP hpcrinnino- nf trio nrn- In the 3 years of benefit payments, through June 30, these benefits reached $11,258.29 included in 2,032 checks issued to residents of Per quimans County. Old Age Assistance, help for needy residents past 65 years of age, in the four years of distribution, through last June 30, amounted to $31,040.00 in this1 county. Aid to Dependent Children, help for those deprived of their normal breadwinners, amounted to $15,524.00 in the same period in this county. Aid to the Blind, in the same 48 months, amounted to $4,357.00 in the county. In these three divisions of the So- gram, or since organized health work was started in the county. In Vocational Rehabilitation ap proximately $1,518.27 has been dis tributed in the county. In case of Child Welfare Services, county funds are not available. Fourteen counties, Anson, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Chatham, Cherokee, Cumberland, Durham, Mecklenburg, Nash, Orange, Pitt, Rockingham, and Sampson, co operated by supplying $13,026.78 and participated in distribution of $27, 605.63 in the year 1940-41, and 38 other counties had consultant service. The county figures for the four "service" divisions above are ap proximate, and not absolute.
