Prayer For
Deliverance
Psalm 64
How often have you had a
fear of impending disaster? No
matter how hard you tried you
could not throw off 'this fear.
The dark shadows of this fear
are very foreboding. They
penetrate the recesses of your
mind and cause your reasoning
to be irrationable. You feel that
your very best friends have
plotted against you and threat
en your well being and secur
ity. You feel that in certain in
stances, that your family have
even turned against you. Noth
ing seems to go right for you.
You feel that every thing you
attempt is a miserable failure.
You feel that you are left des
olate and you know that you
are in a state of dispair. There
is no one, you feel, that you can
trust and you do not know
where to turn for help. You are
hopelessly lost in an intricate
web which has been woven by
your own mind.
During my ministry. I have
had several people to express
themselves and their problems
in just such away as stated
above. My first inclinations is
to find out as much as I can
about their spiritual life. Some
times the problem is not with
the outside invironment, but it
is with the spiritual condition
of the person who has the
problem. The person wants to
blame every thing and every,
one for the problem. This per
son does not want to accept the
responsibility for the problem.
Neither does the person want
to face up to the problem. The
first thing which needs to be
done, is to lead the person to
the point where he or she can
see that the problem is theirs
and it involves their own spirit
ual well-being. Once this place
is reached and the person’s
spiritual life is made right
with God, he or she can then
have a normal relationship
with both friend and family.
This individual’s life will then
become fruitful to God, because
God has delivered him.
When we have a problem, let
us examine our own selves first
and then pray for deliverance
from our worst enemy, our
selves.

Mayor Miller Goes To Washington
To Confer With Senators And
Cong. Hagan About Sewerage
Realizing that so much de
pends on the prompt securing
of money for sewerage in the
City of Pembroke, Mayor Mill
er made appointments with
Senator Russell, Senator Tal
madge and Congressman G.
Elliott Hagan, and left by
plane for the nations capital
Wednesday afternoon by jet
plane of the National Air
Lines. He stated that when he
left he was going to do more
or less like the “poor peoples
march” was doing, stay until
he gets some good news.
We are not going to occupy
quarters “in Resurrection
City,” as we have made hotel
reservations at one of Wash
ington’s leading hotels where
we will stay while conferring
with the officials, after which
we will do a little visiting with
our relatives up there and plan
on returning home Sunday
afternoon on one of National’s
planes.
With the low rent housing
project of 38 homes costing
three quarters of a million dol
lars has to have sewerage, and
the 51 acre industrial tract
that we have just East of the
main section of the city, and
where already a huge steel
plant is going up, that will em
ploy up to 250 men when they
get to running full capacity,
which is three shifts a day. A
railroad siding runs through
the building. Pictures of the
site and the building being
erected is shown on the front.
The City has several other
plants interested in locating in
Pembroke, and as soon as it is
a known fact that we can and
will have sewerage and water
for this new industrial park,
they will be ready to come in
and start building. A plat of
the site is being made and the
City will carry out all the de-
tails which will give us an in
dustrial park second to none.
While in Washington the
Mayor will try to get some
more low rent housing units,
as there is a need for at least
100 more here. Yes, the Mayor
is off to Washington, although
he does not have the time to
spare from his own duties as
Editor, Publisher, Ad Sales
man, and all round “flunkey”
of The Journal, and despite his
age of 75. Yes we are going to
Washington to plead for the
things that we need, and be
lieve we will be successful.

Pembroke Steel Co. Building Going Up
I
Shown above is the home for the new Pembroke Steel Company, located on the new 51 acre
Industrial Tract just East of the City, on the tracks of the Seaboard-Coast Line. When com
pleted this plant will work around 200 men, and it will mean much to this section. This is one
of the projects which we need our sewerage and water money so badly for. Another is the new
Housing Project which will be let for bids within the next thirty days. Sewerage and water
mains are vital to both these projects.
