and Roddy four.
They make their home on
Market Street in the newly
remodled and lovely
parsonage.
They moved here from
Durham. Rev. Mann has
had churches in many large
cities since becoming a
pastor. He has been in the
business for 15 years.

ht a small town. Neighbors
here are very concerned
w)th each other and the
children love it here."
'The couple is especially
delighted their children are
happy here. "In Durham we
had to take the children
everywhere by car. But
here, we can let them go
anywhere they want by
walking. They can play with
other children until dark
without any worry", they
said. V-'- '

Mann Family Is Active
taught grades one through
six for eight years.
When not in the pulpit or
making calls to the hospital
for ill persons in the
community, Rev. Mann
likes to go fishing. However,
he confessed he has only
been twice since he's been
here in Hertford.
The hospitality and
friendliness of the
community has made it
easier for the Manns to
make visits in the homes of
members of their
congregations.
Mrs . Mann said she is glad
her husband is a minister
"Since he selected his
profession I can meet so
many different people that I
would not be able to under
different circumstances,"
she said.
When asked if a minister
and his family were
expected to be different and
act differently from other
people the Mann's agreed
that not so many years ago a
minister and his family
were expected to be on a
pedestal. But today they can
be relaxed and be at ease.
Mrs. Mann enjoys
swapping recipes with
neighbors and friends.
Rev. Mann was asked
about the trend of young
people in the church. He
says he sees a renewing
interest in the church of the
youth. He says the youth
movement of the young
people who have sought the
feeling of faith outside the
conventional church was
and is for many reasons. He
felt the young people sought
this type of expression of
faith because of the less
burden of the do's and don'ts
or organized religion.
"Young people are just as
religiously aware as they
used to be. The church will
once again be blessed with
the involvement of young
people working together.
The church is beginning to
take a second look at what
the young people can
contribute," Rev. Mann
said. " .

"People in general are
beginning to get back with
the church. Following the
war there has been a great
increase in church
attendance and corporate
worship. In past ten years
there has been a lot of.
concern with Christian
social activity. This almost
went to excess. It is now
beginning to level off and
(he church is viewing
social actions as only one of
the areas of involvement.
We now need to be
concerned with what the
church needs," Rev. Mann
: said.
A daily routine for Rev.
Mann goes something like
this. In the morning he goes
to his study to deal with the
administrative responsi
bilities. He writes
his sermons, does his
correspondence, and other
things. In the afternoon he
visits people who may be in
the hospital, sick at home,
or just people who he knows
who may wish to talk with
him. Sometimes there are
funerals and weddings to
serve. Since arriving in the
community, Rev. Mann has
officiated at 15 funerals and
13 weddings.
On some evenings, when
there are no church
meetings or other
obligations the family en
joys being with each other.
They play games,"" enjoy
going to family movies, like
to visit in Sanford with
relatives, enjoy concerts
and museums.

About 481 years ago, a wonderful thing
happened to the Albemarle area. Along about
that time, a fellow by the name of Columbus
stumbled on this new continent That's when it v
all started.
The English got Into the act about 100 -years
later when Raleigh sent a bunch of colonists
to Roanoak. (The folks back home never did hear
from them.) Finally, a group did manage to hang
on at Jamestown.
. Since that time, things really moved, and
Albemarle shared in the building of America in a
most auspicious manner. It's no wonder we're so
proud of Columbus, today.

They say the word
"lonely" was created and
used for the first time by
William Shakespeare. He
has been dead for only 350
years, and what they used to
describe "lonely" before his
time, we don't know.
We are sure people were
"lonely" 400 years ago
even though they didn't have
a word for It.
You would be surprised
how many lonely people
there are in the world today.
We know a person who
makes it a regular habit of
calling up her friends on the
telephone and saying: "I
lust called because I felt you
might be lonely."
The remarkable thing is
that the phone calls are a
sure cure for her friend's
loneliness as well as her
own. -
It might be a good idea If
more people make a practice
of this idea.

REMEMBER: Friendliness
Is Contagious.

SATISFACTION,
Romans S: 1-2
Now that we have been
Justified by faith, peace can
be a reality for us. There
was a time in the experience
of every person when he was
not at peace with God. But
through the atoning death of
Jesus Christ on the Cross .
peace has been secured for
the whole world.
Justification (right
standing with God) comes
when man makes the faith
response to God's offer of
grace in Jesus Christ. Man
can never arrive at peace
with God by his ow,n efforts
or achievement.
The prodigal son learned
that one does not find
satisfaction and
contentment by changing
his surroundings.
Discontent is not a matter of
where one lives. Peace, joy,
and satisfaction come as the
result of a personal
relationship with God.
By Jesus Christ we also
have access by faith into
God's amazing grace. The
Greek words for "access"
mean "to bring" and
"facing." It was used of one
person who brings another
into the presence of a third
party. Through our faith in
Jesus Christ we enable Him
to usher us into the .very
presence of God. In God's

SUFFERING,
. Romans 5:3-5
The word for
"tribulations" means
pressure, distress,
oppression. It is a pressing
down or pressing together.
These things are a part of
the Christians life. Salvation
mat comes as a gift of God"s
grace makes it possible for
the Christian to see good and
to glory even in these
"tribulations".
God's salvation is more
than a pie-in-the-sky-by-and-by.
It is the kingdom of
God within the believer here
arid now. When tribulations
come the Christian is able to
turn them into patience
(steadfastness, endurance).
He is made able "to remain
under" the pressures of life.
"Experience" means
approvedness. This
approvedness produces and
increases hope. This hope is
not a wishful thinking but a
hope that will not allow one
to be put to shame.
The love of God shed,
abroad in the heart of a
Christian is not the
Christian's love for God. It
is God's love for the
Christian. This is the work
of the Holy Spirit who lives

SALVATION,
Romans 5:S-11
Thus for we have looked at
the results or benefits of the
proper relationship to God.
How does an estranged, lost, ,
ungodly person come into
this right relationship to
God?
First of all, one must
recognize himself to be
estranged from God. Paul
speaks of "while we were
yet sinners." There must
have been something
terribly wrong with us for
the sacrifice of our sins was
God's own Son. "Christ died
for the ungodly" (6).
"Christ dies for us" (8c).
Verse 9 tells us that we
"being now justified by his
blood, we shall be saved
from wrath through him."
Verse 10 says "when we
were enemies, we were
reconciled to God by the
death of his Son. It is
through Christ that we have
now received atonement.
The Cross of Jesus spans
whatever distance there is
between the sinner and God.
Jesus lives today to save all
who will come to God by him.
