Just approach it as a way of showing family and friends you think they're special, and try to find gifts that express how you feel about them. For the past 38 years, says Lillian Vernon, the founder of one of the largest gift catalogs in the country, “I've traveled the world, selecting gifts tltat I think you would be protSd to give — and pleased to receive, I'd like to share some of the ideas I’ve used for my family aver the years." Think carefully all year long about what people really want, ana jot down ideas as they come to mind, Vernon suggests, adding: “jkeep a list, and when you come across something on the list, shop early — even if it’s not near Christmas-time. Start a gift hide away and buy a little at a time ... this will save you from having to do all your shopping at the last minute, ^bu can even start wrapping gifts as you get them so you won’t have to fuss tyith them all at once-and you'll haVe more time to enjoy the “Out of the ordinary ideas are often appreciated more because they require a little extra thought," Vernon advises. “Buy decorative baskets or tins and fill them with soaps, pot pourri, candies or home made cookies. Sentimental gifts can be very meaningful and lots of fun, too. Frame old family photos or write a family history in a bound book — they’re sure to be treasured for generations. . "If you’re having trouble buying a gift, think about creating an event — 4i luncheon, dinner, theatre oat in <> or special day spent together — a gin ot yourselt. “The presentation of gifts can be just as important as the gifts them* selves. Select pretty gift wrap and ribbons to enhance what's inside. For extra flair, use ornaments as gift tie-ons, especially personalized ones — they'll delight everyone. And for a gift that won't fit under the tree, like a bicycle, paste a pic ture of it into a card or box. This way, there’s something there for everyone, and it’ll be a nigger sur prise when opened. “The spirit of giving is a joyful one. Remember that, and Christmas shopping can be fun and not a chore. Wise counsel from a shop Lord Jesus, thank You for another weak. You have kept many of us from the storm, rain and wind. At Thanksgiving time we are especially reminded to take time to praise You. Yes, life has true meaning and pur pose when our eyes are filled with the visions of Jesus. Please, Lord, remember the sick and shut-in everywhere. Help us to praise God for surely He has proven His love for us. So let our praise continue to be in our mouths tor Jesus, because He is so good. Amen. Always remember to read The CAROLINIAN news.

Teaching And Study Urged In The Church By Ministerial Writer BY REV. REDDEN We have often said in such an evil dfty that we live, what the Christian church needs more than anything else is teaching of the true word of God, that God said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleas ed; hear ye him.” Matthew 17:5. And that His Son Sweet Jesus said, “Re pent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17. “1 tell you, nay; but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:5. “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.-” Matthew 16:24. “Moses because of the hard ness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so, and I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery and whosoever marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.” Matthew 19:9. In Gala tians 5, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, envyings, murders, drunken ness, they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Yes, the church stands in need of teaching and when we say church, not the church building, but church members. Also, the church members should be encouraged to study the word of God. Paul said to a young man, “Study to show thyself approv ed unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Second Timothy 2:15 oftentimes we hear men calling some woman a woman of God and women calling themselves women of God. That is nowhere to be found in the Holy King James Bible. Many times you can find man of God meaning that one speaks for God in the Bible, but no woman of God. Often we hear women called preacher, pastor, and evangelist. That is a gross error. Nowhere to be found in the Bible. So they have either not been taught or falsely taught. Paul said, “But I suf fer not a woman to teach or usurp authority over the man but to be in silence.” Jesus said if the blind lead the blind both will fall into the ditch. Wherever you find the true church of God, be there three or 1,000, man will be the head, not woman. Yes, the church badly needs teaching and to study the word of God, then obey!
