; WOMAN Or SAMARIA
Free of prejudice, Christ
?ought to minister to all who
needed His love and com
pauiooate help.
John 4: 7-11
On His journey from Judea
to Galilee Christ went through
Samaria because there were
sin-sick and needy souls there
to whom He could minister,
and because by doing so, He
could teach His disciples what
their attitude toward non
Jews should be.
It was about noon when
Christ and His disciples
arrived at Jacob's well.
Weary from the journey,
Christ sat down on the parapet
of the well, while the disciples
went into the village, Sychar,
to buy food. Before long the
reverie of Christ was
disturbed by the coming to the
well of a Samaritan woman to
draw water for her household
needs.
Weary and depressed, this
woman of ill repute advanced
with a look of disillusionment
and sadness on her face.
Embarrassed and disgusted
that Christ was sitting there,
with a bold and unsympathetic
gaze she stared at Him.
Anxious to save and bless
this woman, Christ tactfully
asked her to give Him a drink
of water, which request
awakened her surprise, broke
down her prejudice, and ap
pealed to her sympathy .
Half in astonishment, i
because the Jews refused to
have any dealings with i
Samaritans, and half in i
sarcasm, the woman said:
"How is it that thou, being a
Jew, asketh drink of me, I
which am a woman of ]
Samaria?" In the course of (
the conversation which en- 1
sued, Christ told the woman 1
that thote who drank water
from Jacob't well would thirst
again, but that the water
which He gave possessed the
quality of satisfying com
pletely all who drank it. His
free offer revealed the
possibility of her need being
met.
John 4:25-30,31
Stirred in heart and per
plexed in mind, the woman
said: "I know that Messias
cometh, which is called
Christ: when he is come, he
will tell us all things." When
she expressed the longing of
her heart to see the Messiah,
Christ said: "I that speak unto
thee am he."
The returning disciples
were astonished to find their
Lord engaged in conversation
wih this solitary Samaritan
woman, but they did not ask
Him why He was doing so.
Neither did they inquire as to
what she wanted.
Christ refused to turn His
back on a sinful and lost
woman simply to conform to
the social standards of that
day. The woman accepted
Christ as her Saviour. Her soul
was saved and her life was
transformed.
In her joyous excitement
she hastened back to her
townspeople and gave them a
glowing testimony of what
Christ had done for her. She
fearlessly and faithfully urged
them to receive Christ as their
Saviour, and assured them
that, if they would do so, He
would give them salvation and
complete satisfaction. Many
of them believed in Christ and
were saved.

It was an honor for
Perquimans County to have
Mrs. C. T. Rogerson, Jr.
recognized as one of fourteen
state winners of the Extension
Homemakers Leadership
awards presented by the
Great Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Company on November
29, 1979.
One of the requirements of
the applicant was to write a
narrative of "What Extension
Homemakers mean to me."
This week, I would like to
share Mrs. Rogersons' story
or testimony with you:
"Homemakers come in a
variety of sizes. The word
HOMEMAKER has been
defined as the maker of a
home. The home is a unit of
love, involving men, women
and the children who con
tribute to the bands of love in a
relationship.
,The values and op
portunities of being an Ex
tension Homemaker are
great. It gives us the keys to a
worthwhile way of life. There
is;a key to further strengthen,
develop and coordinate our
education so as to improve our
way of living.
1 am glad to have the op
portunity of being able to tell
non-members of the many
educational offerings
available in our homemaker
program.
I have seen the time when it
wis almost impossible for me
tat stand before a group of
lajiies to give a short report or
a4 announcement. But, by
bping an Extension
Homemaker it has given me
ttp courage to take other
stpps? such as becoming a
chairman and a leader of my
local club, county club, and
also leading on the district
level.
Besides leadership in my
organization, the experiences
in homemakers clubs have
helped me to rise to position of
leadership in other
organizations in my church
and community.
Besides all of these benefits
there is the personal gain of
friendship. There is no better
way to get to know people than
by working together. As we
work together, we become
involved in our co-workers'
joys and sorrows. This leads to
strong friendships with all the
excitement that comes in
knowing new people.
I have learned to have the
courage to try new things, and
to take another step forward.
By being a homemaker I hope
to continue to grow and reach
out to others as I move "On
ward, Ever Onward".f
I have gained the knowledge
of cutting down operational
expenses in the home and on
the farm in order to make
ends meet. I have experienced
the needs of a happy home, a
well-rounded life and the
values of work and en
tertainment in my family and
ray club.
I feel that our homemaker
clubs are a real value in our
community, county, state, and
nation. As good citizens we
will finish what we have
started and not complain if the
job is a little harder than we
expected? this is another
value for all of us.
To be a participating
homemaker in this age, it
takes courage and energy, but
how better can one unite
herself with our generation? It
is my sincere belief that the
cause is worthy and the final

' excavations prove that prehistoric
man also buried his dead with rev
' erence and with ceremony. Funeral

the needs of each succeeding genera

Film tells
John story
The dramatic come-back
story of the "bionic-arm
pitcher" will be presented at
the Berea Church of Christ on
Feb. 3 at 6:30 p.m. It is the
story of Tommy John, now a
member of the New York
Yankees and a 1979 teammate
of Jimmy Hunter.
In 1974, Tommy's world
nearly collasped. While pit
ching for the Los Angeles
Dodgers against the Montreal
Expos, he felt a sudden
tearing sensation in his elbow.
Doctors told him he would
never pitch again. However,
his arm was "rebuilt" in
experimental surgery and
what had been a heart
breaking tragedy became a
two-year struggle to regain his
pitching ability. But Tommy
went on to win back his place
in the starting lineup. He also
won top honors for himself
including "Comeback Player
of the Year" and runner-up for
the prestigious "Cy Young
Award."
"The Tommy John Story"
features exciting action from
Natonal League games, as
well as the play-offs and World
Series action. But it is not just
a sports celebrity film
because Tommy John is not
just a professional baseball
player. He is a Christian with
a deep faith in God and his
testimony provides some
answers to questions that may
arise when tragedy strikes.
