RY WILLIAM E.. GILROY, d. D

One great heritage from the
story Of ancient Israel is the
lessons it's story contains regard
ing the things that make for the
welfare, Or the downfall, OF ma
tons and peoples.
In the history of the Jewish peo-
pie from the time of their return
from the bondage in Egypt to the
establishment and downfall OF their
kingdom N Palestine, we can see
the laws and forces, that wreck
mighty nations.
II is as true as it ever was that
righteousness exalteth a nation, y
and the dictum of Scripture ap-
plies to nations, as it does to IN.
dividuals, BE sure your sin Will
find you CUT
But our heritage from ancient
Israel is very much more than is
found in example and warning.
Out of the life Of Israel. despite
wars peril. suffering, waste, and
destruction. has come the richest
literature that the world has known
the Scriptures upon which Our
Lord was nourished, and which,
He said, He had come to fulfill.
It is the spiritual miracle OF
hi2tory that out of times OF ruth
less war should have come the
magnificept dreams of peace, re-
corded in such passages a. Isaiah

That was in 1887. But the NEEDLES
weren't through taking parts of
his body. AS a result of a bullet
wound in the stomach during the
last war he had to have one kid
ney removed.
In 1910 he went to work at the
service station at the intersection
whe-e the road turns toward South
port. He worked there several
years then in 1943 he acquired a
concession in a carnival and work
ed with a show for awhile.
Last September he bought the
station, after leaving the ce-nival.
Now he has four and five persons
helping him to operate the combi-
nation filling station and lunch
counter.
Dressed in a uniform of an oil
company and mounted on his plat
form he has an agility that is sur
prising and better than most per-
sons.
And he is proud of his record
WIN the OIL company. he ranks
with the best operators when il
comes to selling the company's
products.
Contrary to what seems appar'
ent, Pigott is not the least melan.
choly or morose over his handi
capps.
He talks cheerfully and readily
about the accidents and even joke:
with persons who ask how he los
his legs.
One of his favorite replies is
II lost them shooting craps on {
concrete floor. I played so long
On my knees that l wore my leg:
off"
Now Pigott is reaping his re
ward for sticking it out. His sta
ton, cafe, and family are testi
mony enough.
And he has only to look at hi!
daughters, age two and eigh'
years, to realize that the old s9y
ing, "The darkest hot. y before
DAWN holds some meaning.

For despite his h~andicaps he
is providing a comfortable living
for his wife and two daughters
and he is proving that even a triple
amputee can find a place in society
and the business world.
Pigott, who was born in Bruins
wick county 80 years ago, was a
sawmiller by trade. He ent-ed
the army in World War I, he re-
lated at his busy service station

The day his outfit broke through
the famous German defense, higt

a hand, Pigott was discharged
and returned to Wilmington where
he took a job as expediter at thu

When Pigott got out Of the hos

make good. He saw he had
