Spirit of Goodness
Must be lntergrat-
ed into our Lives

zone of the elements of a great
life is goodness, and this trait
which is intrinsic is likened in
our political, economic, social and
spiritual PHILOSOPHERS in relation
to mankind" said Reverend G.
F. Upton in a stirring sermon at
Wesley Methodist Church, Sun
day morning, February 2, 1947.
Speaking on the subject, "The
Great Life" the minister capti-
waited his congregation when he
said that the Masters definition
of a great life is summed up in
two words = "Well Done"
Varying a bit from his manu-
script, Reverend Upton, said that
even though the Master, in sum-
ming up a great life, did not in
clude brilliancy, heroism and the
like, he nevertheless did not
discredit same, but he emphasized
the fact that the elements of a
great life simply means well
done"
In conclusion the impassionate
minister and orator challenged
his hearers and the entire world
to accept the Christ way of life by
integrating the spirit of good
ness in to, their everyday life.

ACE-0LDC CUSTOM
IS REVIVED
Ceremony OF Blessing The
Fields Enacted Near
Whiteville Sunday
(SpeciaI To The Starl

WHlIEVlLLE, May IA. An
age old custom of blessing the
fields was revived in a ceremony
here last Sunday morning when the
Rev. Julius A. Pratt, rector of
Grace Episcopal church, conduct
ed a service of worship at the Will
Cashwell farm early Sunday norm
ing, the maiden service that he
wishes to continue on each Roga-
ton Sunday in the future.
Practitioners hope that each year
the sacredness of the service will
enhance in appeal until it will be-
come a COMMUNICATIVE event and
then grow into a state affair as
well as become a symbol of the
supplication for devine help in the
production of crops.
Tillers of the soil since the fifth
century have handed this GUS
tom down to the modern men and
women who have discarded many
of the burdens of agriculture for
machinery but it is still the same
God that blesses the farmers with
a bountiful crop.
1t was pointed out by the Rev.
Mr.. Pratt that this ceremony is
only one part of the ceremony for
the welfare of the people in this
agricultural area as the climax
of this ceremony will be reached
on Thanksgiving Day when a SINH
lar service will be held in praise
for the bountiful harvest that di-
vine providence will bless the peo-
pie with.
For years, prior to coming to
Whiteville, the Rev. Mr.. Pratt has
held similar service for the rice
fields Of Louisiana. Much en-
phasis was placed on the service
in that area and pictures of the
worship were taken by a national
magazine and it is believed that
they will be published in a few
weeks.
Sacredness of the pagentry Of
this age-old recognition of God by
those who derive their living from
the soil, is destined, it is believed.
to appeal to people in all walks
of life, who in any way are help
ed by the bountiful blessings Of di-
vine origin.
