This mentions but a few of the many who have helped our ef- forts succeed. Thanks to you all! Our committee is proud, for- tunate and very thankful, as you should be, to live in and be a par- ty of a community displaying as much concern, compassion and love as Kings Mountain does. It is a positive act of obedience to one of God’s great command- ments “Love your brethren as I have loved you.” We know from your acts of charity where your hearts are, thereby where your treasures are. Our P.O. Bex number is 21. This week read in your Bibles, St. Matthew 6:21, 19:21 and St. Luke 12:21. Very fitting, isn’t it? Disability isn’t unique to modern times by any means. We, the disabled, can obtain courage and strength from what the Lord told the apostle Paul. Paul evidently had a disability that he called “a thorn in the flesh.” That is in- deed an appropriate term for some disabilities. “...there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is suffi- cient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness...” II Cor. 12:79.
