Az one who reads the gospel
of John will find this very
prominent i'm Jesus thinking
always: II was sent My
meat is to do the will of him
that sent me-"
Christians later than this saw
that the relation between God and
Jesus was even closer than that
between sender and sent. Jesus is
called the Son of God, he is called
the Word that was with God and
was God. Paul says God was in
Christ.
Later generations would develop
the doctrine of the Trinity as it is
expressed (for instance) in the
Nicene Creed. Every century has
its own formulas. Peter in the
first century does not use the
language of the fourth century, still
less of the goth; but all the formulas
express in various ways the con-
viction Peter had that when Christ
confronts us, God confronts us.
Christ is Lord OF All
X THIRD thing Peter meant when
IA he called Jesus Christ" and
that the church means noW-is that
he has complete authority. All
other authority, in the church or
out of it, is less than his.
A word often used to express
this truth is Lord" But the
word alone is not enough. 1t
really makes less difference
what words we use about Jesus
than what our attitude to him
is. Jesus himself once spoke
sternly of people who call him
Lord, Lord" but do not do
the things he says to do.
1t is one thing to say, in the
Greed, that we believe in Jesus
Christ, his only Son, our Lord; :"
it is another thing to carry that
part of the creed into life. Jesus is
our Lord; not the church, not Moses,
not Paul, not any hero or saint
of the church, but Jesus. Christians
take orders from him first of all,
for we believe that his mind was
the mind of God.
A Christian profession of faith,
therefore, is more than statement
of belief; it is an oath of allegiance.

Christ" means, they would see
that most sermons today are really
aimed at convincing people of the

Peter said to Jesus "You are the

important, but something which up

God Was in Christ

TN the second place, when Peter
1 called Jesus Christ" he meant
that God had anointcd him. He was
not a man who took a notion to do
what he did: he was one whom God
had appointed to be and to do as
God Willed. We cannot understand
Jesus apart from God, for his
source is &C.

Only One Christ

MTE shall have to think what the
w word Christ" meant as Peter
used the word and as Jesus UNDER
stood it, The Jews of that time
were looking with eager excitement
for an ''anointed one" (the literal
meaning of Christ, or Messiah) who
would put an end to all the evil of
the world and usher in Gods New
Age. They were not quite clear
how this would be done, but they
were sure that only the Christ
could do it.
Consider three points First,
when Peter said You are
Christ" he meant You are
unique" No Jew looked for
two ChriSts. There is no one else
in Jesus class, there is only
one of him. Every human
being, to be sure, is different
from all others; but Simon
Peter did not mean that. What
he did mean was that Jesus
could not be classed as ga"
teacher or "a" prophet or "a"
man of God. He was the Teach
er and Prophet. He was Gods
Man as no other man was.
We make mistake, we get away
from the original Christian faith,
the faith which Jesus praised when
we put Jesus on the same level with
other men, any other men. There
is only one Christ

Arguments presented to the
State Board of Education by at
torneys representing two Dare
County factions, those who wish
Cape Hatteras Consolidated School
to be located at Avon, and those
who wish it to be located at Bux-
ton, accomplished very little more
last Thursday than the production
of a streamer headline in the Ra-
leigh News and Observer on Fri
day morning.
Raleigh lawyer ]. C. B. Ehring-
haus, Jr., spoke for the Buxton
site last Thursday. The legal rep
resentative of the Avon people has
been Harry Mcmillan, Jr., son OF
the Attorney General.
Same Committee Named
After the oratorical fireworks,
the State Board decided to send
a committee to survey the two
sites and make recommendation to
the State Board of the most suita-
BILE. Joker in the game, so far as
the supporters of the Avon loca-
ton are concerned, would seem to
be that the committee appointed is
the same one which strongly rec
commended Buxton after making a
survey in June of 1850. Committee
members are A. S. Brewer of Dur
ham, chairman; Paul S. Oliver OF
Marietta and Claude Terrell of Ell
kin. Supt. Clyde Erwin will &C
company the group, as will q board
of education engineer. The COM
mittee is to report its findings at
the September Board meeting.
Attorney Ehringhaus, who
said he was speaking "for a
majority of the people of Dare
County" challenged the legal
right Of the State Board to re-
fuse to accept the decision of
the County Board Of Education
about the location of the school;
he asked the Board to seek ruiz
ing from Attorney General Har-
ry Mcmillan ON the question.
Tire was an implication in En-
ringhaus' talk that, if the State

BOARD SUES TO
STOP CASH BINGO
AT MACS HEAD
Mater Defies Board Ruling
and Opens Game on Cash,
Full Blast Right Away

Al Mater, one of the three bingo
operators at Mays Head asked the
Commissioners of Dare County
Tuesday to abrogate the contract
made with the Board requiring the
Bingo games at Mays Head to re-
frain from using cash, but the
commissioners stood by the orig
inal agreement on the ground that
to change the rules now, to
which all had agreed, would work
hardship on operators who had
bought large stocks of prizes.
Ras Westcott told the board
that on the strength of the license
granted him he had bought some
$4,000 worth of prizes, and would
be as good as broke if Mater was
allowed to pay off in cash. w. X.
Leary, another operator said that
he was stocked with prizes also,
and felt that letting down the bars
to Mater would result in ill-will
for bingo.
Mater contended that he would
be broke unless he could pay off
in cash because he owed $4,000
rent, and had only a few weeks In
which to take in enough dough for
the business.
The Board was firm in refusing
to change the contract, and Mater
went back to the beach and opened
for cash anyway. 1t is reported
some $500 was paid Tuesday night,
and much business moved over
from the other two games, to try
out Matters cash plan. Everybody
| didn't win, but some samples of
awards reported, are as follows:
Tull Lennon, 500; Mrs. Rowan
Dudley, $50; Herman Sears, SAB.
Wednesday the Board of Com
missioners instructed County At
torney Martin kellogg, Jr., to
bring an action in court seeking
to restrain Mater from operating
his game for cash. Mater said
Tuesday afternoon he expected to
operate for cash anyway, and
would sue the commissioners for
damaging his business If any &C
ton was begun against him.
And so in good old Dare County
tradition, which demands that
there must be row about most
everything undertaken in these
parts, the Bingo war is on. Mater
was represented before the Board
by w. A. Worth and Forrest
Dunstan of Elizabeth City, who
contended it was no worse to play
for cash than for prizes, and they
further contended that winners Of
cash would have that much more
money to spend with the local
merchants.
Martin Kellogg, speaking FOL
the Board, upheld the position
that bingo was not approved b.

State Board was attempting to fix

disapproved of certain sites offer
ed to u.s." he declared.
To which Ehringhaus retorted
"By ruling out all but one you are
in effect picking the SITE"
Ehringhaus sharply criticized
former Dare School Board Chair
man E. P. White of Buxton al
though, as a Raleigh newspaper
reported, he disclaimed any inten-
ton to criticize. The newspaper &C
count put it thus: "The people OF
Dare would stand for it no longer
and defeated Mr.. White and the
faction led by him. he said. But
before the defeat, he continued
White "a refused to call meetings
of the board and (2) refused to
put questions to vote at the
meetings he did call despite re-
peated insistences by board men,
bers and after long discussions.
White favored the Buxton SITE"
When all the claims and counter
claims were over, an agreement
which could lead to the actual
building of Cape Hatteras School
seemed as far away as ever. The
Board must consider the question
once more at it's September meet
ing, when the Survey COMMITTEES
will make it's report.

CURTIS LOVILL

AT LIONS CLUB
Large Gathering of District
Lions and Guests Hear
Talk by Maine News
paper Man

Curtis D. Lovill, Gardener,
Maine, publisher and Director of
International Lions Clubs, told
guests and members of the Manteo
Lions Club Monday night that the
principles of Lionism afforded
club members the opportunity to
oppose the spread of communism
in their own communities in most
effective manner. The spirit of
Lionism, he said, is "to help others
less fortunate than ourselves"
and the Lions principles are
thoroughly democratic and de-
signed to foster democracy in
civic affairs.
The visiting official of the
worlds largest service organiza-
ton compared the privilege of
Americans at the polls-to vote
for the candidates of their choice
without fear - with that of the
voters in countries behind the Iron
Curain, who must vote right or
they won't be voting at all in the
future"
The dining room of the FIT. Ra-
leigh Hotel in Manteo was full to
bursting for the occasion of Mr..
Lovilrs appearance. Visiting del
egations from the Weeksville,
Camden and Elizabeth City clubs
were in attendance, as well as
nearly 1000 of local Lions. Nor
man Trueblood, Elizabeth City,

duced Mr. Lovill and other dis
tinguished guests. Among these
were International Director John
T. Stickley of Charlotte, who
spoke briefly; Governor of District
Bile George T. Rogers of Apex,

LAUGHTON SEES
AND PRAISES THE
LOST COLONY

Charles Laughton, celebrated
British actor came to Roanoke Is
land and saw the Lost Colony
Sunday night. After the show he
met and talked to the cast, high in
praise of what Paul Green has
done with this drama, and the work
of the cast as well.
Following his meeting with the
Lost Colony cast, Laughton was
guest at a party at the home of or
ganist Jim Hart, and he enter
tanned the group with readings
until the wee hours.
Laughton likes to read and to
quote Shakespeare. He had orig
inally planned to return to New
York and thence to Hollywood on
Monday, but he liked the Dare
coast, and the Lost Colony people
he met here. He also liked Mays
Head; he liked the surf of the
ocean.
Meets Fellow Englishman
At Waterside Theatre he met
English-born Albert Q. Bell. archi-
tect and designer of The Water
side Theatre who has been with
the show officially since 1887, ex-
cepting 1941.
Laughton and Bell discussed
their homeland together. Both are
from the southern part of England.
On Monday afternoon after a
visit to Fort Raleigh and Waterside
Theatre during daylight hours he
visited Bell at the latter's Roanoke
Island Gardens. Here the actor
showed a deep interest in the
shrubs and the things which Bell
has gotten to grow in his nursery.
1t surprised Laughton to learn
that gardenias grow in such pro-
fusion on the island. He was
amazed to see the loquat and other
citrus plants which thrive at Roa-
noke Island Gardens. He wanted
a peach, but there were none ripe
on the Bell trees. He settled for
an August Pippin, and as he
munched it he quoted Shakes
phere, one verse especially for
Bell the nurseryman and landscape
architect:
"And make conceive a bark of
baser kind
By bud of nobler race: this
is an art
Which does mend nature, change
it rather, but
The art itself is nature"
The lines, which pertain to a
Shakespearian viewpoint on graft
ing from A Winters Tale, the
quote being from Polixenes, King
of Bohemia.

So Now! The reason we wanted
to run a picture of Bill Sharpe is
because he is the president of the
Roanoke Island Historical Associ-
alton, sponsors of the Lost Col
ony. Many great people have head
ed it, including Governor Brough-
ton, Jonathan Daniels, Mrs. Char
les Cannon. However, these being
gentle and kindly folks, it remain
ca for a -blooded news-hound
to WELD a hefty axe, if he hoped
to stop buying red ink, so he came
down with two axes, one in each
hand. 1t hurt, and it hurt bad when
some of the expenses were Topped
off; cutting something off, always
hurts somebody, if only their
pride, and pride being great in a
patriotic and historical organiza-
ton, most folks couldn't see the
use of money going out to a few
patriots who weren't too proud to
take a little of it for nominal
services rendered. We have to ad-
mire him a little bit because he
said Somebody has to be the
SOB. and since I am already one,
/ might as we'll go ahead and do
it." Anyway, God being with us
and barring too much bad wea-
Their, it looks like the Lost Colony,
because of looping Bill and plug
cling Aycock, is going to come out,
at least under Conserving and jib,'
as the old sailing men might say
