Christ's Patter* for Growth PhiUppUns 3:3-11 If anybody ever had any ground for "confidence in the h flesh," Paul did. Here he described his family, racial and religious back ground. Of the tribe of Benjamin, he was a Hebrew of the Hebrews, adhering strictly to the traditions of his nation. He was an unexcelled example of Pharisaism. External religion had its most complete embodiment in him. In spite of his superior lineage, nis standing in Jewry, and his strength of character, he was without salvation. On the way to Damascus, in the midst of his career of per secuting Christians, Christ grasped him and saved him for a definite purpose, namely, to divert his great ability into the right channels, and to make a great minister and missionary out of trim. Paul yielded to that loving grasp, gsve himself whole-heartedly to service for Christ, did many wonderful things for his Lord, and had a tremendous influence on others for good. When he was approaching the end of this career, Paul stated frankly that he was dissatisfied with his attainments, and that he was desirous of greater spiritusl achievements. Instead of his achievements encouraging self-satisfaction, they served as a stimulus to greater endeavors for Christ who has done so much for him. His ruling passion was to get nearer to Christ, to grow in His gace and knowledge, to be more like Christ, and to do more and better work for Him. ' Paul culitvated a wise forgetfulness of those ttyngs which tended to limit the audacity of his hopes and the energy of his efforts. In giving his readers his design for living, Paul stressed the importance of concentration or being devoted to a single aim. He dismissed the past from his mind, for the most part, .saying: "forgetting those things which are behind." Paul 'knew what to forget and what to remember. He challenged his fc. readers to forget the things that cripple, hinder, and defeat. *Tor him the one thing worthwhile was to win the ideal set up ?for him by Christ. With words and by actions he urged all to ihave a definite and high aim and then concentrate all of life's energies on reaching it. From Paul we learn that one cannot be happy, useful, and successful without a single aim and a strong devotion to it. ?

Her For Your Information I ' Dear friends, Many families cannot tolerate open i expressions of grief. They will say, "For your own good, don't cry so much." r Translated, it means, "When you cry you upset me and I can't tolerate your - grief." A grief counsellor will encourage the mourner to cry openly and to dis cuss any aspect of the deceased's life. , This has a healing affect. Respectfully, f SWINDELL ; FUNERAL HOME _ uonnan m r CARD OF THANKS I wish to express my sin cere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to every-' one that remembered; me and my family during my recent stay in the Norfolk , General Hos pital and since my return, home.

EDNA WOLVERTON My mother told me a tip for our ripe bananas aeveral month* ago - did you know you can just peel a "mushy" banana and freeze it? I'd never thought about that, but since then, I've kept a large plastic bag in the freezer. I just drop that "last" banana in the fruit bowl into the freezer bag and "save" them until I have enough for several loaves of banana bread. This recipe is easily doubled or quadrupled ! 2 cups flour Vi cup butter 1 cup sugar 1 cup mashed bananas 2 eggs beaten 1 teaspoon soda Vi teaspoon salt % cup chopped pecans Cream butter-add sugar and mix. Add bananas, eggs and sifted dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Add chopped pecans and pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Try banana cupcakes for a change (They are great for lunch boxes). (Editor's note: We regret that some of the ingredient amounts were missing from last week's "Cook's corner." The missing amounts for the okra pickles are: 1 pint of vinegar, 1 quart of water, and one-third cup of salt. Look who's new Mr. and Mrs. Bernard L. Byrum of Tyner announce the birth of their third child, Bernard L. Byrum, Jr., on October 9th, at Chowan Hospital. Mrs. Byrum is the former Judy Trueblood of Hertford.
