Mrs. Anna Holley gave an excellent report on the bake Extension news PAIGE UNDERWOOD Along with spring sewing comes the selection of fabric and style for the new garment that will be just right for the wearer. But another important item that requires special selection is the interfacing. There are many brands, weights, and textures and it is important to choose the right one. Usually a rule of thumb for selecting interfacing is it should be lighter in weight than the fashion fabric. It it's too light it will appear to do nothing, if too heavy the in terfacing will overpower the garment. Not only does in terfacing tell the inside story about the garment, but it reveals the professional ap pearance which is the ultimate aim of the home seamstress. An interfacing is a layer of functional fabric used bet ween the facing and outer part of the garment or inside closed sections (such as cuffs and collars) to give body, shape, mold and provide special support in necklines, collars, opening edges, cuffs, vents, bands, lapels, pockets, waist bands, add strength to but tonholes and button area and to give longer life and wearability to a garment by reducing strain and preven ting stretching and sagging. Anything that does all of the above is certainly worth the time and effort to use. The choice of interfacing depends upon fashion fabric, pattern and effect desired. Choices include sew-in or fusible, woven knit or non woven. Fusible interfacing can be a convenience and a time saver. But do keep in mind that it must be ap propriate to the fabric. How does the interfacing and fashion fabric feel when tested between the fingers? The best way to determine whether or not you can use a fusible interfacing is to ac tually fuse a swatch of the interfacing to a scrap of the fabric. Then take a close look at the right side of the fabric. Has the fusible interfacing changed the appearance of the fabric in any way? Has it changed the texture or the feel of the fabric? Is a ridge visible on the right side of the fabric? If the fusible interfacing hasn't changed the ap pearance, texture, or feel of the fabric, it probably can be used satisfactory. Fabrics that you might not be able to use a fusible in terfacing on include solid colored or light-colored ones, sheers and materials with little surface texture. I am also happy to announce that a night class in counted cross stitch will be offered on Thursday, March 6, at 7 p.m. at the Perquimans County Office Building.

Hunley Agee Elebash, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina, announced that the Diocese is kicking off a "Venture In East Carolina Project" to raise *00,000. This capital fund campaign, the first Diocesan-wide project in over a quarter of a century, will assist local Episcopal churches, missions, camps and conference centers as well as assist ministries outside the Diocese. Venture In East Carolina "Is The Response Of The Diocese Of East Carolina To The Call Of The Church For Renewal In Venture In Mission." Biship Elebash stated that $600,000 is slated to be spent within the Diocese in four areas: 1) New Congregations, 2) Mission Renovation, 3) Camps and Conference Centers and 4) Diocesan House Refurbishing. The 1200,000 to be spent outside the Diocese, is earmarked for Melanesia, the West Indies, Cuttington College in Liberia and Kanuga, where a study will be conducted concerning a ministry to the elderly. Bishop Elebash expressed a desire to have each and every Episcopalian, living in the Diocese Of East Carolina as well as all 76 churches missions, participate in this great Christian endeavor, and by so doing, strengthen their own ministry and life.

Good news \ NICODEMUS This lesson contains the record of an interesting conversation between a prominent sinner and the only Saviour about the nature and necessity of the new birth. The Inquirer JofanS:l Nicodemus was a Pharisee. The Pharisees were proud, exclusive, boastful of their good deeds, strict adherents to traditional beliefs, and precise in their religious worship. Nicodemus was a man of culture, refinement and zeal for the law. He was one of the most religious men of his day, honest in his convictions, and sincere in his desire to do right. He had an inquiring mind and a passion for the truth. Nicodemus was a member of the Sanhedrin, which was the highest position within the gift of his nation. His position demanded and involved an irreproachable life, a splendid reputation, a good education, great influence, and vast responsibilities. Even though he had position, power, prestige and prosperity, there was a real void in his heart. He knew that he had not learned the real secret of the best way of life, but he was convinced, on the basis of what he had seen and heard, that Christ knew the secret. The Inquiry John 3: 2-4 On a memorable night, under the cover of darkness, Nicodemus made his silent and unperceived way to the house where the Saviour was stopping. We may assume that tie came at night for quietness ind privacy. Surrounded by the crowds luring the day, Christ coaM lot have been interviewed without interruption. Nicodemus readily discovered that Christ was easily ac cessible and happily ap proachable. He acknowledged that Christ was commissioned by and sent from God, and' that His miracles constituted valid evidence of the approval of God upon His ministiy. To'' Nicodemus' reference to the' miracles, Christ did not reply, but with startling abruptness He talked to him about the' new birth? its meaning, nature, necessity, and man ner. The Instruction John 3:5-10 Using Nicodemus as a splendid example of the natural man at his best, Christ emphasized the one great need of every person? the birth from above. This birth is the impartation of the divine nature to a human being. He told Nicodemus that unless one is born anew or from above he can never receive the benefits of the kingdom of God. This new birth is not something that man can do or help to do, but it is something that God does for him? impart the divine nature to him. There is no substitute for it. The Interest John 7:50-52 When Nicodemus observed that the leaders of the Jews were trying to condemn Christ without a fair trial, he evidenced his personal in terest in Christ by coming to His defense and by reminding His persecutors that their own law did not permit them to do that sort of thing. His defense of Christ indicated that he had a personal faith in Him prompting him to be fair in dealing with our Lord. Their unfair and unjust criticism of Nicodemus did not lessen his interest in Christ, and fair treatment of Him.
