T. R. G. It is possible that you joined the church without having had personal experience with Christ as Savior and Lord.
Joining the church is the forming of an association with God's people and becoming a member of the visible body of Christ. But, there are those who have La taken step having made the, all important decision to accept Christ into the heart and life. You say that you do not see any differ. ence in life. God has never promised His children that they will have easy times.
We are still subject to the problems, sorrows and difficulties of this life. But, to the Christian, God promises grace for every one of these contingencies. Let me urge upon you the wonderful fact that when we become Christians we have someone living In our hearts: someone who understands and loves and helps. If you have not already done so make the decision right nowask Christ to forgive your sins and come into your heart to become the Lord of your life. When you have done this, life, changes completely.
Before you get out of bed each morning thank Him for His presence and ask Him for His help. To add to the meaning of life let me also urge you to pass on your new experience to others. Try to make things happier for them and most of all, try to bring them to know tne Christ. who has transformed your life. College to Haywood, up Haywood to the Auditorium.

Mrs. Crawford told the more than 200 delegates this is a legislative time for North Carolina to determine the yeatizens needs of the schools -then let the legislators know what they want and that they are willing to pay for good schools. Mrs. Crawford warned that "we know that when children get cut-rate schooling we are the losers -in potential services, in lowered living standards, in Increased delinquency and crime, in costs of patching the social damage that is sure to come when children and their schools are neglected."
