project of long standing. The new
flag pole which has been needed
for several years was erected on
Tuesday of last week and the new
flag, which was given to the school
by the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
flies every day the weather is per
missable. We are grateful to the
Sawnee Electric Membership Corp.,
for their help in getting the pole
erected.
We are also pleased to have com
pleted the eye tests for the entire
school. All students who had
trouble reading the eye chart the
first time were re-checked and if
the chart was still difficult for
them to read the County Health
Nurse will notify the family that
their child should be examined by
a physician or eye-specialist. It is
hoped that all parents will cooper
ate in this matter as the benefits
a child with corrected vision may
receive are unlimited.

PURPOSE
If you once had a noble purpose
and your heart was set on carry
ing out that purpose but some dis
couraging things came into your
pathway and you compromised.
Please go back and embrace that
noble purpose again and start trav
elling on the road to real living.
To suppress the noble impressings
and substitute some less noble aim
will be hurtful.
All those who have accepted Je
sus Christ as their personal saviour
should always have as their su
preme purpose to do His will and
accomplish His purpose for them.
A person who refuses to do this
will miss the best things that could
be his if he would only listen to
the leadings of The Holy Spirit.
Daniel and his three friends “pur
posed in his (their) heart that he
would not defile himself with the
portion of the King’s meat, nor
with the wine which he drank;”
therefore God blessed Daniel. He
became the greatest voice for good
in his day. His life and influence
is felt even today. We speak his
name with reverence and respect
because he had a purpose and held
to —never wavering. We say the
same for his three friends.
Be strong in the Lord and the
power of his might. Don’t back
down, go on! with that noble pur
pose of yours !!

Thy word is true from the be
ginning....! rejoice at thy word.—
Psalm 119: 160—162.
Beginning a new year last Sun
day, we are beginning a study of
a series of wonderful Sunday
School lessons that I certainly wish
all children would be brought to
study with us. Our first unit in the
Junior quarterly is on—“using our
Bibles.”
The purpose of this group of
lessons is to help boys and girls
to: Know that the Bible answers
important questions and tells things
they need to know; understand
that the Bible is God’s messaage,
written by good men whom He
guided;
Want to learn Bible facts and
words; Read their Bibles with more
understanding;
Thank God for giving them the
Bible.
It seems that the Bible is a mys
tery to a lot of people but I feel
that if children are brought up in
Sunday School and training Union
where they are taught to use their
Bibles to search out different facts
and become so well acquainted
with the different characters in
it. It will never be such a mystery
to them. They learn to love the
Bible and will more naturally learn
to follow It’s teachings throughout
life.
Our good pastor, Rev. C. E. War
ren, brought a very interesting and
appropriate sermon on Sunday
morning on the theme, 'Be sure
my dear brother you live up to
duty.” He read from Luke 17: 7-10
using a portion of verse 10 as his
text—“we have done that which
was our duty to do.”
He especially stressed that: Duty
comes before pleasure, Duty comes
in spite of danger, Duty comes be
fore money, and Duty becomes a
habit. Naturally when anythinng is
practiced enough it becomes a hab
it so why not practice our duty
enough to form good habits?
A lot was said on Sunday about
New Year’s Resolutions and it was
so heartwarming to see the young
Christian Juniors resolve to live
better and try to follow closer to
Jesus then bow their heads and
ask God in their own simple words
to help them to keep their resolu
tions. I think we could all prosper
by taking the adult theme: Take
the Helmet of Salvation” and face
the New Year with brighter hopes
than ever before.
In his Sunday night sermon
about “Jesus’ visit to Jerusalem at
the age of Twelve,” Rev. Warren
gave us a very clear picture of
how we should always be careful
to not stray away from Jesus as
His parents did on this occasion.
It is harder to go back and find
Him when we once stray away
and leave Him out of our lives for
awhile so we should keep in daily
contact with Him. Our past9r em
phasized that we should not de
pend on friends or relatives to
know when Jesus is in our lives
but that we should rely on God to
keep Him in our hearts and lives.
We are very much grieved at
Sharon, to know of the death of
Mr. W. R. Settle, (better known as
“Uncle Bud”) who was a member
here for a number of years before
moving to Atlanta. He lived a
beautiful, dutiful life of 99 1-2
years. He was certainly an inspir
ation to all who knew him and
even though he will be missed here
pn earth I’m sure heaven is a hap
pier place since he's gone there.
