News Notes
On Sunday we shall begin a
new Associational year in our
church work. God has been good
to us during the last year, we
have not deserved His goodness,
and the knowledge that we have
not been as grateful as we ought,
should be cause enough for us
to come to God in confession of
our neglect, and in humble sur
render of ourselves to Him in
more earnest service. None of us
can plumb the depths of the
love of God for sinful men; our
conception of Him is often false,
and the only remedy is to be
found in a greater desire to do
His will, and to know Him
better. The churches have suf
fered through what has come
to be known as “the depression,”
but the most unfortunate thing
is that we have allowed ourselves
to a large extent to become
spiritually depressed.
We are glad however that
there are evidences of an awak
ening from this state. There is
manifesting itself a greater in
terest in spiritual things. At
Kingsland, the last Sunday vrai
the best we have had for at least
nine months. The Sunday School
attendance was better, the at
tendance at the morning service
was noticably better, the night
service gave us almost a capa
city attendance, and two addi
tions to the church. The mid
week service had the largest at
tendance for a long time, about
thirty or forty. God is blessing
us and only awaits the chance
in our own lives to give us a
great revival.
At Ruhamah, the church is in
fine condition. The revival there
is not over, but is just beginning.
A B. Y. P. U., has been organized
a V/. M. U., rally is to be held
there at an early date, and the
membership as a whole is keenly
interested and is working for the
upbuilding of God’s Kingdom. At
Woodbine the members of the
church are showing signs of in
terest, and at a conference held
there on Tuesday night, mem
bers expressed themselves as
wishing to see a real forward
movement.
All that is needed to have our
desires realized is unity among
the church members of all the
churches, and more prayer and
less criticism of a destructive
character.
If the entire membership of
the churches in Camden county
will seek to accomplish the Will
of God instead of satisfying the
whims of the individual, and will
cease the pernicious practice of
tattling, and get to its knees in
prayer, no one can measure the
blessing and the prosperity that
will result.
Now let us start the new As
sociational year on Sunday as it
ought to be. Let us go to church
in the spirit of worship.
Services will be at Kingsland
at the usual hours:
Sunday School 10:00 a. m.
Bible Class 10:00 a. m., Morning
worship 11:00 a. m. B. Y. P U.
7:00 p. m. Evening Worship
8:00p. m.
The pastor’s subject at the
morning hour will be, “The
Vision and Its Challenge” and
at night, “The Meaning of the
Cross.”
There will be something of in
terest in each message for the
individual who is seeking a
closer walk with God. Come and
worship with us at both ser
vices.
At the close of the morning
service a short Church Con
ferences will be held for the pur
pose of electing or re-electing
officers for the year.
Come prepared to help with
wise suggestions if your mem
bership is in the Kingsland
Church.
Messengers have been elected
from' each church to attend the
Association vjhich n^eets with
the Midway Baptist- Church,
Midway on Thursday and Fri
day October 6th and 7th. This
will be a great meeting, full of
inspiration and the revival spirit,

Rogers Is Winner
In Wayne Contest
L. W. Rogers, sheriff of
Wayne county, was Monday
nominated for the legislature in
a run-off primary, defeating W.
Glenn Thomas, present repre
sentative, by a majority of 122
votes.
The contest was one of the
most spirited in Wayne county
in many years and an unusually
heavy vote was polled. In the
Democratic primary two weeks
ago there were three candidates
for representative in Wayne
county, and Mr. Rogers and Mr.
Thomas were the two high, the
vote of all three being unusually
close, and the second primary
was held Monday.
Meeting: Of The
Kingsland P. T. A.
At the last meeting of the
Kingsland Parent-Teacher Asso
ciation, a plan was worked out
whereby each room of the school
can make a little money for its
own needs. The success of this
venture depends entirely upon
the support of the school patrons
and the general public.
It was decided that each week
one room of the school will col
lect from donations a supply
groceries, and that on Saturday
these goods will be sold by the
pupils among the homes
Kingsland. The items will all
standard supplies needed in each
home, and the prices will be as
low as can be bought elsewhere
in town.
The sixth and seventh grades,
with Mrs. G. T. Butler, teacher,
and Mrs. R. C. Powell, room
mother, are to be in charge this
week. On Saturday, October 1st,
pupils of these grades will
probably Kingsland. visit each home in
If there is any article
among their stock which you
could use now or later, they will
appreciate your patronage.
P. T. A., is expecting your kind
help in this project.
Colored Home Des
troyed By Fire
The home of Cloven and Eliza
Butler, colored, near Tarboro
was destroyed by fire last Satur
day about mid-night.
A child, one of eleven, six
years old, lost its life, its parents
being unable to rescue it from
the burning building. The char
red remains were found next
day, after water had been
thrown in the hot ashes suffi
ciently, to make a search. >
The family without a home,
or clothing are now asking for
help.

tive churches much revived and
helped.
As we close these notes it is
with strong prayer to God for all
Christian people in this com
munity. May He make us all
more Christlike, more gentle,
more humble, more earnest and
more loving to Himself and to
one another. No church has His
approval and blessing, and no
church can prosper which is not
growing more like Him who is
the Great Head of the Church.
Let us make the following our
prayer:—
Lead us, O Father, in the paths
of peace;
Without Thy guiding Hand we
go astray
And doubts appall, and sorrows
still increase;
Lead us through Christ, the
true and living Way.
Lead us, O Father, in the paths
of right;
Blindly we stumble alone, when we
walk
Involved in shadows of a dark
some night.
Only with Tnee we journey
safely on
Lead us, O Father, to
heavenly rest,
However rough and steep
path may be,
Through joy or sorrow, as Thou
deemest blest,
Until our lfves are
in Thee.
Arthur Harrison, Pastor.
Education For Child
ren This Year
You as an adult can postpone
plans, readjust to a changed
economy, but in the education of
children it is a matter of this
year or never. The education
that is denied to childhood today
is irretrievably lost. We cannot
plot the opportunities of youth
along the zigzag lines of a busi
ness graph. Childhood is all too
brief a period in which to be
come fitted for the welter of
modern life.
We cannot say to a child:
“Next year we shall see about
improving your instruction in
health. Next year we shall pro
vide a new course in citizenship
which fits you for society’s
pressing problems. We shall buy
you some fine new library books,
paratus, new maps, new laboratoiy ap
next year. Next year
we shall furnish you a wonderful
textbook in geography, or his
tory, or arithmetic.” For that
child, this year’s schooling is at
least a twelfth, perhaps an
eighth, a half—yes, even all—of
his remaining education. It is
this year or never!
Many things for which we
spend public money may be post
poned—roads, bridges, new
pavements, new lights, but not
the education of youth.
Are you helping people to see
this? The fine educational ap
portunities enjoyed by children
today accident. have not come about by
Are we to allow them
to be dissipated at the first
financial exigency?
You, the teacher, can hold up
your end, if they don’t overload
you too much. But you must
have good tools. You and the
bare walls are not enough to fit
the child for the demands of this
complex age.
Stand firm for the sacred
rights _ of every child—the child
of 1932 is no less deserving than
the child of 1929. The opportuni
ties we deny him now are lost
forever.

BISHOP JNO. M. MOORE
at Brunswick:
Bishop John M. Moore of Dall

Methodist Church in Brunswick
next Sunday morning at 11:00
o’clock. All of our members and
people of the St. Marys Charge

TIME IS PASSING:
What are we doing with the
time that God is giving us to
spend here on earth? Have you
begun to live yet? “I can’t die,”
said a young woman of twenty
eight when told that she was
mortally injured in an automo
bile accident. “I have never yet
begun to live. All that I have
done yet is to lead the fashion
in society.”
You, my young and older
friends, have you begun to live
yet? Or have you been too busy
at something else? Too busy
making money? Too busy having
a good time? Too busy gratify
ing the desires of your physical
being and letting your spiritual
life plough through mire of
filth and sin ?
Yes, time is passing
rapidly. It will soon be time
you to die. It may be very short
with many who are enjoying
good health at this time. The
time is drawing near when you
will meet the GREAT JUDGE
MENT. Will that time be well
with you? Are you prepared for
the occasion. Are you satisfied?
Is God Satisfied?
Where did you spend the time
during last Sunday? Many were
at church last Sunday morning
and evening. Many were not
there. Many were blessed be
cause they were at church wor
shipping. Others did not receive
a blessing because they were not
at church, neither were they in
terested in the church nor their
spiritual life. Therefore, they
tire weaker and the worse off
because of their absence and in
difference. Where were you last
Sunday ?
We will account for all of the
time that we are spending here
in this world, and just haw we
spend it. May the GOOD LORD
lead everyone to understand this
great fact. We appreciate the
fine congregations that are at
tending our churches over the
charge. Time spent in Holy Com
munion and Worship is time
well spent.

Important Announcement To Camden Schools
The Southeast Georgian believes in athletics as a part of school
life for our young people and to help them promote their activities
in the several schools we make the following offer.
For the month of October we will give to each school 50 cents
of each $1.50 subscription they can secure for us, either new or
old subscribers. We would suggest that each school appoint a
team of hustlers to secure these subscriptions. Go to work
immediately, and send them in. We expect to publish a list each
week of those sent in which will answer the same purpose of a
receipt to each subscriber. Get your hustlers to work im
mediately.
No. 45
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28—The
Forestry Division of the Depart
ment of Forestry and Geological
Development has' inaugrated an
organization of Forest Fire
Fighters to supplement the pre
sent Timber Protective Organi
zations. The new organization,
according to State Forester B.
M. Lufburrow, is to provide for
the needs of smaller land owners
who desire to cooperate with
each other in fighting each other
fires. The existing Timber Pro
tective Organizations are operat
ed on a minimum ef ten thou
sand acres per unit and meet the
needs of the large land owners.
The newest plan, according to
the state forester, will provide
for areas where it is difficult to
form a 10-thousand acre unit,
and will provide leadership to
carry out plans of fire fighting,
as well as to establish local
responsibility for fire control.
Some fire fighting equipment
and instructions as to methods
of fire fighting are included in
the plan, according to the state
forester.
The first unit of this type of
organization has been formed in
the region of Commerce by Prof.
C. L. Veatch, agricultural voca
tional teacher, who was active in
developing this plan of forest
fire protection. Reports coming
to the Forestry Division indicate
that a number of communities
are ready to join the new organi
zation.
