A shepherd. - moved by cu riosity. : drew near and watched with interest. "Would you like to view this moss cup through my lens?" the man innuired of ' the shepherd. He eagerly as sented. He looked, his eyes tilled with astonishment, and asked: "Can this be a moss cup?" Assured that it was, he looked again at the liny flower through the lens. ' . ' t "S"V j I wisb you ihad never shown this to me." "Why?" the man asked in surprise. "Because," was the reply. "I tread on thou sands of them every day of my life." Like the shepherd -so many people fail to see the beauty of life that sur rounds us all. OUR THOUGHT TO RE MEMBER: "HAPPINESS CAN NOT BE BOUGHT -IT IS EARNED!" Swindell Funeral Home Hertford, N.C.

We'd like to hear more about the Bicenten nial Barge Foundation's plan to construct and equip a cultural barge to call at ports through out Eastern North Carolina, and especially, our section. We feel certain the Albemarle Area will re spond favorably to the concept. The possibility of bringing a variety of arts together, for both young and old, is exciting. The barge idea, can give its audiences a chance for inter-action with the artists. This could have the effect of inspiring young people to consider the arts as vocations.

THE HOME FOLKS POE 335-C311 The Sunday School Lesson CHOSEN TO BLESS OTHERS (Genesis 12:1-3, 7; 17:1-8) Stewart has rightly ob served - that "Religion consists not so much in joyous feelings as in con stand devotedness to God, and laying ourselves out for the good of others." Our lesson for today deals with God's call to Abraham. That call no doubt consisted of a joyous feeling when properly responded to. But it also consisted of a con stant devotedness to God, and a laying out of self for the good of others. In Genesis 12:1-3 we have the account of God's Call to Abram. The Call to Abram, Genesis 12:1-3 According to the New Testament (Acts 7:2) God's call came to Abram when he lived in Ur of the Chaldees. This was before he lived in Haran. God must have first spoken to Abram while he lived in Ur and then renewed the call as it is recorded in this passage of Scripture. Abram and his family had left Ur of the Chaldees making their way northward to Haran. This was the usual route to the land of Canaan even though Canaan was due west of Ur. Both Ur and Haran were noted Tor their moon wor ship. We have no way of knowing why Abram's father Terah made the decision to stop and "dwell" in Haran. This may represent a lapse in his faith. It could have been necessary because of ill health or something else. ' We do know that God called Abram to leave Haran and go to a land of which Abram knew nothing. Abram must step out in faith. God will show him the land. God will bless him and Darden Department Store 109 111 N.

God will make his name great. But this is not all. Abram is to be a blessing. In Abram all families of the earth shall be blessed. God's call is always like that. Salvation comes to you - on the way to somebody else. God doesn't bless one person and that's the end of the matter. God's love reaches out to all of the world. He does not love one . race more than he loves all or any other race. All families of the earth were to , be blessed in Abram. Our next passage tells how Abram conducted himself in response to God's word to him. The Conduct of Abram Genesis 12:7 Abram now stands on the soil of Canaan, He has gone out in faith, not knowing where he was going. But God knew the exact spot! When Abram arrived in Canaan the Lord appeared unto him. This suggests that Abram had to take God at his word. There is no evidence that God manifested himself to him on the way. We must often walk in God's way when we cannot feel that God is walking with us. To follow his instructions is enough. When God speaks man can trust him and move out even when he doesn't know where his going will lead him. God now speaks to Abram and tells him that this is the land. God promises to give "this land" to Abram's posterity. Abram responds by an act of worship. There he built an altar unto the Ixrd. It is sad today that there are so few altars. Allarsof personaland private devotions to God are not as PH. 426 5464 Rt. 4 Hertford 264-2318 2861 SUPPLIERS OF OIL PRODUCTS GOODYEAR TIRES PHONE 426-5544 llw Perqulmaju Weekly, Hartford, N.O, Thundiy, BcptcmlMr 5, X374-fe S popular and plentiful as they . should be. Family altars have given way to a thou sand other less important things. In many churches the altar has lost its signifi cance, if it is there at all. We come now to consider God's convenant with Abram.. . The Covenant with Abram Genesis 17:1-8 God again appears to Abram when he is ninety nine years old. God reveals himself to him as the Almighty God. He is told by God to walk before him and be perfect. The word "perfect" here means mature, whole, complete. Abram must not be satisfied with less than he was capable of being. Perfection is to be his goal. It is to be our goal also. God made a covenant with Abram. Abram was to be the father of many descendents. His name was changed to Abraham. God would make him fruitful. God's covenant would not stop with Abraham. It would be a perpetual (meaning of the word "everlasting" here) covenant. God again promises the land of Canaan to Abram and his descen dents. Perhaps the greatest part of the covenant is the last part of verse 8; "and I will be their God." What more does a nation or an individual need than the assurance that God is his Lord.
