She lost no time, for she knew

packing of 200 loaves of bread.
Also, she had five sheep dressed
and five measures of grain parch-
ed. and she pakd two skins of
wine, one hundred dusters of rai-

she had everything loaded on asses
and mounted an ass herself.
HE WOULD SLAY NABAL
As Abigail came down under the
cover of the mountain, David and
his men rode toward her, and she
heard David telling them of her
husband's ingratitude and of how
he had returned to him eveil for
good. She overheard David say that
by morning all that Nabal poss-
eased and ail in his household
would be destroyed.
Abigail, unafraid. hastened to-
ward David. In all humility she
began to intercede for her husband
and apologise for his bad actions.
She admitted to David that Na •L
was a base fellow and a fool. She
then begged David to receive the
food she had brought and to forgive
her trespasses She praised David,
telling him that evil would not
be found in him so long as he liv-
ed.
She also predicted that he would
be prince over Israel and that his
soul would be "bound in the bun-
dle of life with the Lord thy God.”
She confirmed that God's word
was sure and that God would ex-
alt him.
What but the unquestioning faith
in God could have dictated such
a humble petition? In it Abigail
typifies woman in her noblest, pur-
est character. Her actions reveal
that she was a diplomat of the high-
est order and that she understood-

When she had finished her mis-
sion. she did not loiter. She quick-
ly mounted her ass and wended
her way back over the hills. We
can imagine that David watched
her until she was lost in the dis-
tance.
When Abigail arrived home, she
found her husband still feasting
and drinking. But, wisely, she did
not tell him of her journey until
morning. When the sober Nabal
learned from Abigail how near he
had come to being slain by David
and his men and what she had done

to have taken on a higher meaning
and a stronger purpose He is no

destined to become the great king
of Judah and of all Israel.
Abigail was one of David’s eight
wives The others were Michal,
Bath-sheba, Aboinam, Maacah.
Haggith, Abital, and Eglah. But
Abigail was the greatest influence
for good and helped David to re-
member that he was God’s anoint-

of Israel had been entrusted.
HE HAS IN RIDING
When David and Abigail chanc-
ed to meet, he was a shepherd
hiding from Saul in the wilder-
ness of Paran, an extended tract
along the southern border of Ca-
naan adjoining the Sinitic dessert.
He had gathered around him about
600 followers, who constituted a
bodyguard and voluntarily protect-
ed the flocks of many a herds-
man from prowling thieves.
It was sheep-shearing season at
the home of Abigail and Nabal.
Many guests had gathered, and
there was much feasting. Abigail

Jesus' assurance to his diciples
of their ability to heal the sick

he do also; and greater works
than these shall he do; because
I go unto my Father.”
Selections read from “Science

include the following (243:4), "The
divine Love, which made harm-

her to be his wile.
IN HUMILITY
She accepted David's Invitation
for marriage, but it was in humili-
ty and self-abasement. To his mes-
sengers she said, “Behold, ’ let
thine handmaid be a servant to
wash the feet of the servants of
my lord." Though Abigail brought
to David a rich estate and a new
social position, she felt unworthy
Burk's history of the Sanger church
she quotes Mr. Sullivan as saying.
“That the Presbyterian Church at
that time was 'a live church and
one of the best'." The Rev. Mr.
Rutledge added many names to
the roll during his ministry and he
officiated at the wedding of Mr.
Sullivan and Miss Gena Bowers.
During the next pastorate, that
of the Rev. Hardin Mallard in
1903-04. the church building was
finished and "presented an ele-
gant appearance both without and
within.” The building program con-
tinued with a manse built on pro-
perty just west of the church. The
Rev. J. Monroe Martin, pastor in
1904-06, and his family were the
first to occupy the new manse.
In 1906 the Sanger Cumberland
Presbyterian Church united with
the Presbyterian Church, USA, a
along with a majority of Cumber-
land Churenes in the UnlterLBtates.
Mrs. Burks notes, this change caus-
ed some strife in the Sanger
church and a number of members
left our church to unite with other
churches. About 50 per cent (the
roll then numbered about 97 > re-
mained faithful and active in the
local church.
In 1906 and 1907 the Sanger
church had as a pastor the Rev.
J. R. Brown who was known as
the “visiting parson." He was fol-
lowed by the Rev. J. F. Franklin
(1907-09), who spent the weekdays
as a carpenter and preached on
Sunday; the Rev. W. T. Nicholson
(1909-11); The Rev. W. A. Binyon
(1911-14) and Dr. D. H. Dodson
(1916-1919). who doubled as a sci-
ence teacher in the high school.
In 1919 the Rev. N. B. Baker
began the longest pastorate on
record in Sanger. He served until
1936. One of the outstanding ev-
ents of his pestorate was a three-
weeks revival with the Methodist
and Baptist churches when 75 per-
sons joined the chrch. It was led
by the Rev. J. L. Cleveland. a
Presbyterian minister.
Since 1936 the pastors have In-
cluded the Rev. A. C. Evans, the
Rev. J. C. Byers. Dr. Francis W.
Pritchard, the Rev. Donald Y.
Swain. John Braly, the Rev. Wil-
son M. Evans and the Rev. John
Russell.
Dr. Cunningham, a native of
Turnersville. Tex., has served the
church as pastor since 1962.

dents on 40 college campuses in
•even years they have contributed
a total of over 360.000 to missions
projects. Most of the money,
which is in addition to amounts
normally given to their churches,
has been earned from off-campus
jobs. At several schools girls
have baby sitting clubs and minis-
terial students have conducted re-
vivals and donated their honor-
ariums to missions.
For the most part the mission
funds have been used to send Tex-
as students' to foreign and home
mission fields during the summer
months. Few summer workers,
who receive no salary from the
fund, are ministerial sutdents.
Since the program began In
1950, 92 college students have
worked in summer missions work
in places which vary from Niger-
ia to Hawaii. This summer 30 stu-
dents hsve been working with
missionaries on foreign and borne1

One of the projects of the stu-
