Matthew 15:22-28 "22And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. "

Tracy and Jimmy Brashears hosted a Halloween party with a weiner roast and Hayride for the children of Hebron Methodist Church back during the spooky season. I'm glad to see church parents organizing Halloween/Fall events for children.

Macedonia FWB Church held a wedding shower for Toby and Carrie Johnson last Saturday night with many family, friends and gifts present.
As to the New Edinburg Community Library and its status: as I wrote this column last Monday night, I was informed that it was closing and that it's materials were up for sale. In the time between Monday night and publication Wednesday, everthing changed. I've been told it will remain open, but under new management as our wandervogel Derrick and Alaina Sims have left for California. A lot can happen between Monday night and Wednesday morning, and that's why occasionally items in this column are not accurate.
Mrs. James Rankin graciously donated veterinary equipment used by her late husband to the New Edinburg Museum last week. Some of you may recall, "Professor" Rankin taught Agri at NEHS for 18 years and was a lay vet in this area for many years after that. I had the museum open last Saturday afternoon and received a surprise visit from Theresa Huddleston and her guest Angela Cox who was visiting from Mississippi. We took a tour of the former school grounds and had an excellent time recalling better years.
I will have the museum open again this Saturday from noon until three or four in the afteroon. Feel free to drop by and see what's on display and shoot the breeze!
If you have items of note for this column, please get them to me before Monday evening in order to get it in that week's paper. Go Eagles.
