GOD LOVKS AND P01GIVKS
-
' Through his anguish of heart, which wu caused by the
unfaithfulness of his wife. Gomer, and the redemptive ef
* fort of his love for her, Hoaea was enabled to understand
more fully the greatness of God's love for His un Worthy
wayward, and disobedient people, and the intense longing
of His heart for a requittal of His love. God refused to
execute the punishment which they deserved, because His
loving heart yearned for them to return to Him in order
- that He might forgive and cleanse them, and then through
them accomplish His great and loving purpose. Not only
complete forgiveness awaited them upon their return to
God in penitence, but also marvelous blessings.
Through Hosea God called His backslidden people to
come back to Him. Backsliding is that condition of the life
of the child of God in which communion with God has been
broken, love for Him has diminished, and joy has
departed. The backsliding of the Israelites was an in
disputable fact. God's people are bent to backsliding and
prone to leave the God whom they have loved. Each
backslider is unhappy and miserable.
When God's children backslide, they are less willing to
receive reproof for their sins, they cultivate a censorious
spirit, they lose their usefulness in God's service, they sub
ject themselves to divine chastening, and they bring upon
themselves remorse of conscience.
God appeals to backsliders to return to intimate
fellowship with Him. If you have backslidden and lost the
joy of the Lord from your life, then come back to Him,
confess your sins to Him, tell Him that you are sorry that
you did wrong and restore you to fellowship with Him.
| Joyous fellowship with God awaits His obedient children. It
is difficult to understand and explain why many of God's
children, with whom He has dealt so tenderly and mer

clfully, healing them when they are hurt, providing for
their daily needs, and looking after them in a wonderful
way, frequently become mere wayward and disobedient
with the passage of time.
That God is both merciful and graeious is indicated by
His willingness to forgive those who truly report of their
sins and turn from their evil ways. Unless the children of
God in penitence turn from their wicked ways, they will
suffer divine chastisement in some form or other, as cer
tainly as night follows day. God is compassionate and ap
peals to those who persist in their disobedience to repent
and to comply with His will for them, assuring them that
in so doing they will experience restoration and enjoy true
prosperity of soul. Man's only hope for peace, Joy, satisfac
tion, and usefulness is hi right relationship with God and
conformity to His will.

Extension teletip

The Perquimans County
Agricultural Extension Ser
vice was recently notified
that Perquimans County
placed 3rd in the State for
using Extension Teletip ? a
service where you get
answers to many household
and farm problems by dial
ing a toll free number and
requesting a tape on the
desired subject.
During the latter part of
June, the Teletip operator in
Raleigh asked 6,234 callers
to give the name of the
county from which they
were calling. This survey,
according to Mrs. Paige L.
Underwood, Teletip coor
dinator for Perquimans
County, indicated that our
residents are familiar with,
and use Teletip. If you have
not used this service, you
may request a brochure
from Perquimans County
Extension Office by calling

would like to encourage
more people to use this op
portunity for free informa

Dear friends.
The good things we do for the ben
efit of our family and fellowman, for
our church and community, may seem
comparatively small, but they can
contribute to large and effective re
sults. Such contributing and construc
tive efforts gives us a satisfying life
in our twilight years.
Respectfully,
HERTFORD UNITED METHODIST CHURCH - The
church is located on the corner of Covent Garden and
Market St. The Rev. Amos H. Stone is pastor. Sunday School
is at 9:45 a.m. with worship services at 11 a.m. The church
was established in 1855 and the present building was built in
1901.
Fix your car up - save gas
With a new energy crisis
brewing, smart private and
commercial drivers are doing
all they can to conserve
precious fuel.
Vehicle maintenance plays
an important role in conserv
ing gas. You can improve
your car's efficiency by hav
ing it serviced regularly.
Check the manifold heat con
trol, have a general tune-up.
Have the choke, fan and air
conditioning belts checked
and the airhfilter inspected.
Improperly aligned tires, too,
waste gas and make the tires
wear out faster.
Multi-grade motor oils can
also boost fuel economy by
three percent to better than
six percent for both autos and
trucks, according to the
Amalie Refining Company,
which has been concerned
with American drivers and
their automotive needs for
over 75 years. A 25-truck
fleet, for instance, using
multi-grade lubricants, could
save more than $25,000 each
year in fuel costs!
Being resourceful requires
putting the brakes on energy
waste!
