Lee Braxton has had fellowship
in more homes Of Christian bust
nessmen than any other man we
know. He has found that one is
as mistaken to believe that bust
neSSmen are not interested in God
as he is to believe that God is not
interested in businessmen.
Cod is interested in whatever
you do. With respect to business,
Cod is in business, too-many
businesses, the greatest Of which
is the saving of the souls Of lost
and condemned humanity.
Cod is the greatest of all bust
nessmen and he constantly seeks
qualified partners. In turn, he Of
fers himself and all Of his infinite
resources to his partners for their
own businesses here on earth.
Not long ago Lee and / ex-

quaintance in an Indiana city. We
thanked him for all he was doing

and to the Lords work. All the
glory and all the praise should go
to Cod"
That is quite an admission foe
a competent businessman. To God
belongs the glory and the praise.
It is. Gods will for us to pros
per, in soul, mind and body. Lee
Braxton and countless others have
learned that God is a perfect
partner to have in any business,
for with him as a partner, failure
is impossible. When failure is inn
possible there can be only pros
perity. AS you work for him, he
works for you. In mutual interest,
there is mutual aid-and mutual
success.
The worlds population today is
almost three billion people. The
goal of Gods business is to save
souls, bodies and minds of every
one Of them.
For this important business,
Cod calls qualified businessmen
as partners.
Every businessman should real
ize his need for a partnership with
Cod and his value in return as q
partner with Godl To realize that
Cod is interested in businessmen
and their businesses is the be-
ginning Of successful business ca

Cod shares your interests what
ever they may be. Will you share
his interest in the saving OF souls

TESS FINLAY'S BAND

ONE or THE great, pleasant, and most enjoyable
surprises coming out Of the Virgin Islands Pilgrimage
is the presence of Professor Hubert Finlay and his
band. "Fess' "a friendly short for professor has led this
band for years, and it has now become almost a legend.
PLAYING his first musical instrument in this island and
being a part of one Of the local bands for years, this
young man carried on after reaching in New York. And
that has been ~forty-fve years ago.
THE OUTSTANDING characteristic of this band
is that it has never fallen apart. Though its membership
has changed time and again, it somehow managed, with
the skill and guidance Of Mr.. Finlay to keep together
a playing combination Of over eighty pieces which has
produced good band music through the years. It has
been an excellent ~residuary into which most Virgin Is
lands instrumentalists have gravitated.
ASHLEY TOTTEN, who is directly RESPONSIBLE fer
this Pilgrimage, told an audience in Frederiksted yester-
day that Professor Finlay's band has taken part in CON
tests with over forty bands in New York and was the
winner of first prizes three times.
THIS BAND, AS should be the case, is making a
number Of appearances here during its brief stay. For
example, one of these will be at the jungle Casino on
Wednesday (Old Years Night, for which an admission
Of onlyo one dollar is being asked for the purpose OF help.
ING to defray expenses. Few could complain or disagree
that the admission is money well spent. A fine band IS
to be heard, and we, are asked to show our appreciation.
PERHAPS THE COMING Of this band, headed by
a native, made up largely Of natives, will serve as an
inspiration to our small community bands in Christian
sted and Frederiksted. No community should be with
out its band, and st. Croix is no exception.
ALL OF US WISH for Fess Finlay and his band
continued success in their contribution to the fine arts
and in adding something of value to the good name OF
the Virgin Islands on the mainland.

MRS. FARROW INJURED
IN A FREAK ACCIDENT

Mrs. John Farrow of Manteo is
a patient in the U. S. Public
Health Hospital, Norfolk, suffer-
ing from injuries sustained last
Thursday afternoon when she was
the victim of a short-lived but
violent wind and electrical storm
that hit Roanoke Island. Winds of
approximately 65 miles an hour
roared through sections of the
town and as Mrs. Farrow was
passing the garage at her home to,
go to the home of her son and
daughterin-law, next door, the
garage was blown down on her.
The extent of her injuries has
not been learned, but she has been
unable to walk since the accident.
Mr.. Farrow estimates the damage
to the garage at several hundred
dollars.
Other minor property damage
was done throughout some parts
of town, including large tree
that was blown over at the home
of A. W. Drinkwater. One Manteo
resident reported his lawn chairs
moved to his porch by the sudden
wind gusts.

that almost 1000 cars have been
carried across to Ocracoke so far
during July, and it is no wonder
that accommodations on the Island
are full and running over. There
have also been about 20 yachts in
the harbor during the past ten
days. Work on the new Ocracoke
Motel is progressing rapidly and
Mr.. and Mrs. Bridgers, owners, of
Lands, N. c., hope that it will be
ready for use this fall.

the bi-weekly square dances in the
school recreation hall, since Mr..
