Nine Churches
Unite? . .
Nine churches have finally
drafted a proposal to merge
themselves into one Protestant
denomination within a decade.
The Consultation on Church
Union in St. Louis voted to accept
a proposal that will be put before
all the churches for two years of
study and modification.
The ninety delegates have thus
moved to form the biggest single,
national , Protestant
denomination in the world. The
U.S. churches involved are the
Unjted Presbyter' in Church,
United Methodist Church, United
Church of Christ, Presbyterian
Church in the U.S., Episcopal
Church, Christian Methodist
Episcopal Church, Christiar
Church, African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church and

bodies but, in general, religious
unity is long overdue among the
world's Christians.
. The history of western
civilization is, to a large extent,
the story of wars over faith and
religion, bitterness and narrow
minded prejudice because of
religious differences and much
nit-picking and blocked progress
because of intense or emotional
religious disputes over intagibles
and rules of living.
Thus all signs Of unity are to be
hailed as probably stepping
stones of progress and each
example of Christians putting
aside minor differences
cooperatively to unify around a
central, dominant theme is a
gratifying one.
Letter To Editor
Perquimans County Board of
Commissioners
Hertford, North Carolina 27944
Gentlemen:
In a recent issue of the
Perquimans Weekly (march 12)
I was interested in reading a
copy of the letter addressed to
the Perquimans County Board of
Commissioners and signed by
Mrs. Julian E; Winslow Jr., Mr.
Herbert N. Nixon, The Rev..
Edwin T. Williams, and Mr. Joe
Nowell Jr., all representing a
number of civic organizations.
Very briefly - the letter asked
that the County Board of Com
missioners consider the
possibility of utilizing the present
county jail building for a center
that might house the Historical
Society, the Arts Council and the
Restoration Association.
If Perquimans County does
join with Camden and
Pasquotank Counties in
developing a tri-county jail
system, then I think the request
by the various organizations
mentioned here is one that the
County Board of Commissioners
should consider very seriously -and,
hopefully, favorably.
I strongly endorse the
recommendations mentioned in
the letter and would add a fur
ther one, as follows: That the
Board not only approve the use of
the building as outlined above,
but that County funds be
allocated for its renovation. I
sincerely hope that the Board
will have an opportunity to give
favorable consideration in the
near future to the request of the .
four county organizations.

fering for special world and

Denial for women of Hertford
United Methodist Church will be
celebrated at 4:00 o'clock on

offering which is given as part of
the Call to Prayer and Self
Denial . This year the projects
chosen because of special needs
are: "New Opportunities for
Joint Action for Mission Over

The rockets, equipped with

the Board of Missions' National
Division for self-development is
to be expanded so that the poor of

compositions in our cities may
benefit from the urgently needed
help of church-related Com
munity Developers.
(2) Overseas: As. new goals
and priority needs are
established. Christians of dif
ferent nations a n d de
nominations are asked to
respond to the needs through
joint action endeavors. Ac
cording to mission officials, "It
is as if Christian groups, often
widely separated geographically
and in background, feel a
common call to dissolve their
deferences in joint action."
Monetary support through
special self-denial offerings will
help make this work possible.
Last year the Call to Prayer and
Self-Denial offering totalled
$600,000. Each woman who takes
part is asked to save over a
length of time and then bring her
offering for the designated
projects. Women are also
requested to pray for the Workers
and those served by these
projects.

Hie Model
"Now I'm big with a hat like Mommy a!" Amy
wit really full of herself when we went ahopping
yesterday.
I was amused, too, as I watched her imitate her
mother on the way to church the next day. She really
had that walk down to a "T." -i .
I'm glad her mother is her model. She couldn't
have a better one. Mary's love of God it reflected in
everything she does. Her happiness In serv'ng God
and His church is contagious. I should know!
When we were married, I was s sometime church
goer. Now, I teach Sunday School, sing in the choir
and am chairman of the building committee. I And it
deeply satisfying to know that my church needs me.
Every church needs the dedicated effort of its
members. Experience the joy of serving God.

The early Church must, necessarily, impress os-wtth its-
seal. Men suffered torture, imprisonment, and even death, isj
its cause. And surely, as seU-professed Christians, we cannot -remain
unmoved in our atudiea!

His works during His short tenure on earth- HU death on the ,;
cross, that mankind may be forgiven of sin; His glorlotaW
Resurrection and all it symbolises in nope for manklmC;
