Antiquity of modern social service in early Christian ministry
The lesson recalls three forms of early Christian social ministry through the cures of Aeneas and Dorcas. Peter heals Aeneas, Dorcas is revived, and the church’s care for the poor and widows is highlighted as a model of simple Christianity in action. The piece links ancient acts of mercy to today’s social work and the enduring call to minister to all human need.

Durham Dentist Files Absolute Divorce in Heart Balm Case
Dr. George A. Carr, noted Durham dentist and son of Dr. J N Carr, filed for an absolute divorce in Durham Superior Court.
