August 18, 2005 a The queen of a distant kingdom could not understand why the prince was so unhappy. “Our son has everything,” she said to the king. “He is handsome, intelligent and very rich.” “Yes,” said the king, “but he remains unhappy.” Musicians, jugglers and actors were invit- ed to the palace to entertain the prince. He politely watched each performer and always applauded at the end of every act; but when they left he was still unhappy. Finally the queen invited a wise and kind woman to visit the palace. “Please live with our family for several she pleaded. “Observe my son and weeks,” see if you can help him find a way to be happy.” ; After several weeks the wise woman met with the royal family. “Most of the people Harvest Baptist Church, 144 Ware Road, Kings Mountain, will host “Southland” in concert Saturday, August 20 at 7 p.m. There will be refresh- ments after the singing.

When he finds this happy man, he should exchange shirts with him.” So the prince went in search of a happy man. He interviewed men who were rich, poor, married and single men, but he did not find one man who was genuinely happy. Then one The Kings Mountain Herald in the kingdom believe you live an ideal life,” she said. “They envy your good looks, intelligence and wealth.

Would you please change shirts with “That's nok possitie; ” the happy man replied, and he pulled himself up to the top of the wall. When he looked, the prince understood, for the happy man was not wearing a shirt. I am convinced that God wants all of us to be happy, but I have also discovered that we can’t really be happy on the outside until we we wear, have discovered God's happiness on the inside. It doesn’t matter what kind of shirt Dr. Jeff Hensley is pastor of Kings Mountain Baptist Church. CHAPMAN From 1B They came through it together, growing closer. The church has bounced back and is now stronger than before. “God has built us back up,” Chapman said. Last Sunday they celebrat- ed her first year as pastor. She describes her congrega- tion as supportive. However some in the community have been surprised to learn that the pentecostal church is led by a woman. “God's gonna call who so ever he will,” Chapman said. “I didn’t ask for the call. IT heeded.” Despite her church's acceptance, Chapman occa- sionally feels she must prove herself more to the commu- nity because of her gender. “You're immediately under the microscope,” she said. Instead of getting defen- sive, Chapman says she responds with the love of Christ. She doesn’t argue to change someone’s mind; she leaves that to God. The church is growing. In November Chapman per- formed her first baptism. Since then she has baptized two more people. True Gospel has added a televi- sion ministry, something her father had wanted. In July, for the anniversary of her father’s death, Chapman preached on the legacy we leave. Using the story of the Israelites build- ing a memorial of 12 stones after crossing the River Jordan, Chapman brought with her to the pulpit 12 objects which belonged to her father. One object was his shoes, a symbol of the miles he walked in the Lord's service. She also had with her Helmes’ first Bible and another Bible filled with notes for some of his last sermons. Chapman says her anoint- ing is different from that of her father though from him she learned to be a pastor. She believes her special gift is for those with low self esteem who don’t fit in. Chapman's sermons often focus on God's unmerited favor. “I preach a lot about grace,” she said. During worship services music can be heard coming from True Gospel. Drums, guitars, bass and a piano are’ up front near the pulpit. Chapman plays the piano and her husband Rick plays bass. Chapman credits her hus- band for his support. When pastoral duties take her away from home in the evenings, he cares for their children Hannah, 10, and Jordan, 5. Chapman says it is a won- derful feeling that her entire family is in church. Her mother Marie continues to live in the parsonage and is active at True Gospel. Sister Donna Hulsey is the captain of the church’s Relay for Life team. “We hold that close to our hearts because of what he © We're big on Relay,” Chapman said. Jerry Helmes started True Gospel in 1982 in a store- front location in the Oak Grove community with a . six-member congregation. Next the church moved to Second Street while the Shelby Road location was under construction. The sanctuary reflects its - founder's vision. Angels are - painted on the rear wall. On the side walls are paintings of Daniel in the lions’ den, Jesus knocking at the door and walking on water and Elijah riding a fiery chariot. The church does outreach at White Oak Manor and visits the sick. It’s youth group has a mime team which performs at churches and recently at a dance recital. The church's televi- sion broadcast can be seen on alternate Tuesdays at 6:30 p-m. on WHKY.
