Living Costs Reach
New Record Highs
During Mid-November

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 -R-
Living costs reached a new rec
ord high in mid-November, the
Bureau of Labor statistics re-
ported today, adding the hint
that 1948 may start at an even
higher level.
Statisticians of the Bureau Of
Labor statistics said privately
that two per cent wholesale
price jump since mid-November
indicates the nation may swing
into the new year at a consulln-
er's price level even eclipsing
the mid-November peak.
The Bureaus consumers
price index rose approximately
one per cent from mid-October
to mid November to set the new
record. The nid-November
index is eight per cent higher
than it was a year ago, "a per
cent above mid-June, 1946, 81
per cent above August, 1899 -
when the war in Europe began.

|BURCAW CHURCH
TO NAME PASTOR
Two Churches Face Pastor
Shortage Unless Action
Soon

BURGAW. Dec. q. The COM
mittee of the Burgaw Presby-
terian church which was appoint
ed in November to name a new
pastor as successor to Rev. P. L.
Clark has been unable to make
selection. The question of the
dissalation of Mt. Williams
church which has also been
served by Mrs. Clark is un-
settled and is delaying commit
tee action a spokesman for the
group has said.
Rev. Mr.. Clark rendered his
resignation to the local congre-
CATION on Sunday, November 2.
It was accepted by the church
at a special meeting on the fol-
lowing Sunady. The effective dat
date was set for January l, 1948,

His reasigntion brought many
expressions of regret. A native
of Brookneal, Va, and a grad
uate of Union Theology Semi
nary, Richmond, Va, he began
his pastorate here on January
1, 1913, after having been pastor
of Graves Memorial Presbyter-

years His charge at that time
included Hopewell, Mount Will
inns, Pike and Keith churches,
in addition to the Burgaw church
At the present it includes Bur-
gaw, Mount Williams and Hope

The Rev. Mr.. Clark will con-
tinue to make his home in Bur-

Four Sermon Thoughts

Barbarians treat strangers as
enemies, but we are not barbar-
ians.-Exodus 22:21: A stranger
shalt thou not wrong, neither
shalt thou Cypress him.
Some people regard all treasure
as belonging to God, and them
selves as trustees of Gods
bounty. These persons are part
owners of the utmost stars
Matt. 5:3: Blessed are the poor
in spirit, for theirs is the king
dom of heaven.
The sum total of Gods plan
includes us and it is glorious be-
yond our powers of comprehen-
sion. This life is part of a very
long series. Have faith.-Matt.5 !:
4:Blessed are they that mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
Proud and powerful old fami-
lies die out, but poor hard work
ing immigrants multiply exceed
ingly.-Matt... SIS: Blessed. are
the meek, for they shall inherit
the earth.

Building Character

Oh, did you know the little
thoughts
That flutter through your mino
Are always either good and pure
Or selfish and unkind?
And did You know that what
you think
And what you say today
Will make you what you are tc
be
Because you grow that way?
Your life is built just like q
house:
The things you think and do
Are like the bricks the builders
use,
For they are building you.

The Wilmington morning star., 1947-12-28

Built originally as a memorial
to the sister of the late James
H. Sprunt, charter members re-
member that the elderly Sprunt
furnished the funds and COM
memorated t h e building to his
sister, Mrs. Margaret T. Sprunt
Hall. When the structure was de-
stroyed by fire in 1889, the men,
bers pitched in and rebuilt the
church in a matter of a few
weeks, and Immediately re-dedi-
Gated the building to the sister
of the church's benefactor.
Organized prior to 1913 the
original structure, built as a
memorial to the son and daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. James H.
Chadbourn, was known as the
Chadbourn Chapel. The chapel
was later moved into the back
ground and the Sprunt edifice
set up.
The church itself originated as
Sunday scnool from the First
Presbyterian church, Whining
ton, and meetings were held in
the home of G. c. McIntire.
Various preachers held the pui-
pit in the McIntire h o M and
later when the Chadbourn's built
the chapel, the Rev. J. M. Wells,
the Rev. J. $. Crowley and the
Rev. J. M. Plowden preached
and led the tiny congregation of
eight persons, according to Mrs
J. T. Borden, historian for the
Women's Auxiliary of the
church.
The records, according to Mrs.
Borden, show that the actual Or
ganization of the church was
held on Dec. 13, 1913 at which
time the congregation under the
leadership of its first assigned
pastor, the late Rev. Andrew j.
Howell occupied the chapel built
by the Chadbourns.
The Rev. Mr.. Howell held the
pastorate for II years, accord
ing to the records, coming to the
church first in 1913 and staying
for five years at which time he
left the pastorate to take uE
duties with the Young Mems
