Religious Study Week Ends
Observance Nationwide

CHICAGO, Oct. IL. - If the
United States is to progress in
the ways of freedom and Sc
curity, American children and
youth must be given an under
standing of religious faith, Sen
ator Claude Pepper Of Florida
wrote recently in a statement
endorsing Religious Education
Week, which were observed by
Protestant churches of the
United States and Canada Sep
TENDER 28-October 5.
"The founders OF our Consti-
tuition pledged themselves to
freedom for all religious faiths"
the Senior said. GA century
and a half has shown that reli-
gious faith has led to the vic
tory of democracy"
He called ON all community
leaders ''to pay careful atten-
ton to the nationwide program
of the international Council of
religious education" sponsor of
Religious Education week. "Its
program meets a great need
which will help our children and
youth for a better life in the
world Of today"

Text And Poem
Giuen Here
Is Selected

Daily reading-Psalm 89:14-26'
Daily Text-"My faithfulness
and my mercy shall be with him
(verse 24).
If al the leaves were dollars,
And all the dollars gold,
Could they procure contentment,
Or satisfaction hold?
If all the night were daylight,
And all the daylight clear,
Could it make duty palmer,
And drive out every fear?
If all the world were children,
And all the children young,
Could angel mothers teach them
To speak with Spirit tongue?
If all the seas were cleanser,
And all the cleanser sure,
Could it wash off a hea~rt-stain,
And make a sinner pure?
If all the air were ether,
And all the ether strong,
Could it the conscience quiet,
In Christ's great judgment
throng?
All "ifs" are only doubters-
The truth rings true above;
For all of its perplexities
There's Gods unfailing love.

The Topsail church, organized
in 1871 as a Sunday school
which operated first in a store
building in which the congrega-
ton used the stills as seats.
Dougal Macmillan and his
daughter Hettie r credited in
old documents as ''the guiding
light" which built and kept the
flame of Christianity aglow for
the Presbyterians in the early
days.
By leaps and bounds the spir-
it of the church grew, the docu-
ments disclose, and the Sunday
school had been organized only
a few months when such inter-
est was shown that it became
necessary to organize the con-
gregation and make it a church
for which hope for a building of
it's own was Immediately held
out.
The Tarboro store, according
to the old records, is still stand
ing as a shrine to the first man
and woman who saw in the
community the prospects of a
good church in a good settle
ment.
Various Baptist ministers
supplied the pulpit for this
church for many months, it be-
ing impossible to secure the
services of a Presbyterian min
lister, the records show.
The records also show that
not only did the members of the
church and Sunday school give
money toward the establishment
of a building, but the people of
the community as well. The
popele of the church now say
they look upon these features Of
the early days of religion in
Topsail as a guide, and the Rev.
Mr.. Myers proudly tells about
the field worker of the Presb

Two Sermon Thoughts


All efforts to Danish God have
resulted in tragic failure.-Ps.
33:12: Blessed is the nation
whose God is the Lord, and the
people whom he hath chosen fol
his inheritance.
The Greek for Word is Wis
dom. Humanity cannot measure
nor imagine the infinity of crea-
tive wisdom.-JOhn IL: In the
beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the
Word was God.
