cclesiastes 3:9-11a (MSG)
But in the end, does it really make a difference what anyone does? I've had a good look at what God has given us to do—
busywork, mostly. True, God made everything beautiful in itself and in its time.
The brilliant fall colors (especially the flaming
red maples), the raining down of leaves, the faint
smell of burning leaves, the crisp mornings and the
hint of winter—all are signs that the year is
drawing to a close. (This makes for perfect
motorcycle-riding weather!) Then, the eclipse on
October 23 only added to the wonder of the
season and the times.
LIFE CONSTANTLY REMINDS US that it is about
change, with Ecclesiastes telling us that there is a
time for all seasons—a time for everything. As
much as we enjoy this beautiful fall weather, we
know that “this too shall pass.” Yet, we learn from
the changing of the seasons; for we grow, change,
and adapt according to the passage of time.
..........
As the earth and trees renew and restore during
the winter months so that they might burst forth in
new growth and energy in the new season, so, too,
do we need to rest and restore. Our energy may
decline a bit during the winter months, and our
activities at the Meeting may be slower as the
weather grows colder. This lessening of energy
offers us time to reflect, renew, and plan for the
“new” season.
Let us not move too quickly into that time of
rest. Let us not move right over the season of
“Thanksgiving.” We have much to be grateful for
in our faith community. We celebrated 50 years
of ministry this summer and acknowledged our
commitment to the community. We reaffirmed
the importance of our Quaker heritage and social
testimonies in living who we are.
..........
We welcomed visitors, some of whom have
chosen to become more involved in the life of the
Meeting. Now and again, the sounds of small
children, even the wonderful gurgling song of an
infant in a baby carrier, might be heard in the
meeting room. We have members actively
engaged in the NC Yearly Meeting’s struggle to
“define who we are,” which has fueled out own
search for Quaker identity and expression.
WE ARE SERVING, GROWING, and changing; yet,
we remain committed to our Quaker understanding of our “faith and practice.” We never
know what the future holds, but we do know that
this moment prepares us for the next moment.
Our growth into the future depends on our being
faithful today, as we listen for God’s voice and seek
to be obedient. We will take the changes as they
come, taking the opportunities to reflect and
renew. We know our ministry feels the needs of
those who enter in. We give Thanks!

FCNL’s Executive Secretary to Visit JFM
By: Martha Mattocks
Jamestown Friends should be very proud of the
efforts of several of our members who were
instrumental in helping with organizing this year’s
NC Yearly Meeting’s Peace Conference. With a
theme of “See What Love Can Do,” the Peace
Conference, held Saturday, October 18, at Deep
River Friends Meeting, was a wonderful success.
About 50 folks attended to hear Dr. Everett
Worthington, Jr. speak on forgiveness and
reconciliation. His talk was timely and helpful to all
who heard him. The hard work of Clarence
Mattocks, Wallace Sills, and Frank Massey in
preparing for and carrying out this project is very
much appreciated.
..........
During the week end of November 1, Diane Randall,
executive secretary of Friends Committee on National
Legislation, will be at Jamestown Friends Meeting and will
be speaking during a community gathering at 6:30 p.m.
Saturday; during Adult Forum on Sunday; and during
meeting for worship on Sunday. Everyone is invited to
participate in these events.
Festivities and special events commemorating
Jamestown’s first 50 years are coming to a close.
Luckily, we have two more months in this calendar
year and a full slate of activities. Our next fun
event will be the “roast” for our minister, Frank
Massey. Be sure to let a member of the Life
Events Committee, Louise Richardson or
Ronnie Hicks, know whether you will be attending.
You will most certainly want to be on hand for this
special night!
..........
We send good wishes for a speedy recovery to
Helen Stanfield as she recuperates from a bout
with shingles. We are also grateful that
Peggie Baxter, who had a recent fall, did not incur
any permanent damage. Bruises heal quicker than
broken bones!
..........
Diane leads FCNL’s staff to effectively educate and
lobby for the policies and legislative priorities established
by FCNL’s General Committee. A lifelong advocate for
peace and social justice, Diane is a fierce proponent for
citizen engagement that advances policies and practices to
create a better society for all.
Diane joined FCNL in March, 2011 as the fourth
Executive Secretary in its 70-year history. Diane travels
widely on behalf of FCNL and represents a voice for
Quaker advocacy in Washington on the Hill, within the
faith community, in media, and throughout the United
States.
Thanks to all of you for your expressions of love
and concern during the illness and recent death of
my step-mother, Barbara Carter. Daddy, who is 93,
is doing well. In the near future, we will be moving
him to Arbor Acres (Methodist Retirement Home) in
Winston-Salem NC. I suspect I will be “in and out”
as we assist Daddy during this transition period.
We are definitely looking forward to having him
closer to us. I suspect that you will get to see him
more often and get to know him better.
REMEMBER!
When you go shopping, pick up some items to be
donated to the Open Door Shelter Food Pantry (nonperishable foods) and FEMAP kits (baby, school,
hygiene). Put your donations in the collection containers
located in the foyer of the meeting room.
Also, the choir collects old cell phones for recycling. A
container for that project is also in the foyer.
And now you know!

Courtney Hazen and Lucas are both seniors this
year. They have begun the process of visiting and
applying to colleges.
It’s hard to believe that it’s November already!
Where has fall gone? It will be winter before we
know it! Some of us may be dreading the cooler
months, but some of our youth may be looking
forward to them. The cooler weather means they
will be finishing up with their current sports and
looking ahead to the next school semester.
COURTNEY HAS VISITED several colleges, but
none has “grabbed” her just yet. She has a parttime job at Blue Zucchini restaurant in High Point.
Anyone who is looking for a good meal could go by
and visit with Courtney during dinner.
Lucas has applied to NC State (his first choice),
Clemson, Appalachian, UNC-W, Virginia Tech, and
UNC-Charlotte. He hopes to study some field of
engineering.
..........
Keep all our youth in your thoughts as they go
through their activities and adjust to new
possibilities during the next few months.
CURRENTLY, ALEXA ALTIZER is wrapping up her
Challenge soccer season. As of this writing, Alexa’s
team is undefeated, and they have
only allowed two goals all season!
Alexa is also managing the boys’
soccer team for Trinity High School
and will begin basketball tryouts
soon.
I hope to see all of them soon. (Remember—
Christmas isn’t that far off! We’ve got another
program to do!) 
Lucas Hick is also finishing his soccer season, but
he still has four more weeks (at least) of football.
Lucas is the kicker for Ragsdale High School’s team.
You may have seen his name in the newspaper a
lot for scoring extra points for the Tigers.
..........
Tennis for Abigail Farlow has ended for this year,
but she is continuing to practice with the marching
band. The Western Alamance High School band is
a competition band, which means that every Friday
(if they are not playing a football game), they
practice. Also, every Saturday through October,
they are competing somewhere.
“Name That Quaker”
By: Linda Willard
October Answer
(The question for October was: According to
family stories, I once saved the life of a child dying
with diphtheria by using a sterilized goose quill to
force air into his lungs. Who am I?)
According to family stories, Eunice Gardner
Worth, mother of North Carolina Governor
Jonathan Worth, 1802-1869, once sterilized a
goose quill to save the life of a child.
THESE ARE LONG BUT FUN days for Abby. In
addition to playing flute in the band, she is in “the
pit,” meaning she plays percussion, including bells
and other instruments. Once competition season is
over, parade season will begin.
November Question
If you are traveling by sea further north, you can
depend on whom to help you?
Cliff Hazen, an eighth grader at Ferndale Middle
School, is really enjoying playing paintball now! He
recently got his own paintball gun and is practicing
with it every chance he can. Cliff is also looking
forward to playing golf in the spring.

From Susan Haworth
Our Fall Yard Sale was October 11. The profit for the
Meeting was about $1,275. To everyone that worked
very hard to make this happen, we say a huge “thank
you.”
According to Susan . . . . .
(Bulla, that is)
A man on his Harley was riding along a California beach
when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a
booming voice, God said, “Because you have tried to be
faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.”
The yard sale is a labor-intensive effort and we really
appreciate each and every one of you that came out to
work hard. This time, we had about seven people who
worked Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday nights, as well
as all Saturday morning.
THE BIKER PULLED OVER and said, “Build a bridge to Hawaii
so I can ride over any time I want.”
Next spring, we hope more
people will join us with the
preparation and cleanup. The
yard sale projects not only help
the Meeting, but they also help the community by
offering goods at very low prices. The leftovers are
donated to Goodwill where they will also be available at
low prices.
God replied, “Your request is materialistic; think of the
enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. I can do it,
but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things.
Take a little more time and think of something that could
possibly help mankind.”
THE BIKER THOUGHT ABOUT it for a long time. Finally, he
said, “God, I wish that I, and all men, could understand
women. I want to know how she feels inside, what she’s
thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she
cries, what she means when she says nothing’s wrong, why
she snaps and complains when I try to help, and how I can
make a woman truly happy.”
Come to the spring sale and help us recycle!
I’m supposed to respect my elders, but it’s getting
harder and harder for me to find one now.
God answered, “Just how long do you want that bridge?”

Pam Hicks
Among Ourselves
Who among us was recently named as one of the
“Great Nurses of NC”? That is an honor received
by Pam Hicks at a black-tie affair held at Koury
Convention Center in Greensboro on October 18.
Norris Bodenhamer
Something happened the week of October 12
that made Norris Bodenhamer very happy. She
found and bought a fiddle (“country” for violin)
which had belonged to her Grandpa Tuttle.
THE GREAT 100 INC. is a peer-recognition
organization that honors nurses in North Carolina.
(Tag line! Congrats, Pam. You do us proud! Do
you have a photo of that?)
NORRIS HAS FOND memories of good times
when she was young, up to about ten years old,
which was when her grandpa died. She and her
family would often go to Papa’s house for a visit.
Papa, a tobacco farmer, would play the fiddle and
Daddy would “get on the piano.” They had a great
time “making music.” Neither of the musicians
could read music, but if either of them heard a
song, he could play it. Their enthusiasm in playing
“made you feel like dancing, or, at least, tapping
your toe!”
Linda Willard
The North Carolina Society of Historians, Inc., on
October 25, presented Linda Willard a D. T.
Smithwick Newspaper & Magazine Article Award
for the following four articles: General James
Green Martin; Buffalo City, NC; Hugh Williamson;
and Diana Harris Foster.
Collective comments from the judges included
the following: “This author writes gripping articles
about the most interesting subjects! It is her intent
to educate the readership regarding as much littleknown, overlooked, or fascinating data pertaining
to her regions of expertise as is humanly possible.
. . . . They are reader-friendly, yet contain a great
many details helpful to the seasoned researcher.”
(Tag line! Way to go, Linda! You must have quite a
few of these awards now.)
Norris often wondered what happened to Papa’s
fiddle. She never heard anyone mention what
might have happened to it. As time went by, Norris
found out from her brother Larry that one of his
friends mentioned that his great uncle had bought
the fiddle from Papa for $15.
A NEPHEW HAD THE FIDDLE, along with other
instruments that he had no interest in keeping. He
told Larry that he would sell it for $150.
Larry paid the money and took the fiddle to
Norris. She nearly cried when he brought the
fiddle to her. It was still in the original case and
seemed to have been well taken of over the years.
Norris plans to pass the fiddle along to Amanda,
her granddaughter, some day.
Happy
November Birthday

Amanda would have an heirloom from her greatgreat grandfather. Also, Amanda, a student at
Appalachian State University, is majoring in music,
and is playing a viola in the university’s orchestra.
She would take great pride in owning the
instrument and would lovingly take care of it.

By: Beth Massey
Our choir met at Friends Homes–Guilford on
Sunday, October 12, to share some of our music of
this anniversary year during weekly Vespers
service. During that time we all sang hymns
together, our choir sang some of our favorite
anthems, and we shared some of our Quaker
heritage through glimpses of our August S.P.I.C.E.
Night celebration.
We look forward to the journey of learning this
music and its message. We invite you to join us – if
you discern that it might help you make your way to
the heart of the Christmas message. We will meet
Wednesdays, 7:30 – 9:00 p.m., from now until
December 21 (with a break on Thanksgiving Eve),
and we can make other rehearsal adjustments if
needed. COME SING WITH US!
DURING THE SERVICE, David Stanfield and
Clarence Mattocks told stories and facts about
Jamestown Meeting/Friends Homes connections,
some that even choir members did not know. Did
you know that Binford Farlow has been on the
Board of Trustees and Personnel Committee, as
well as being active with dining facilities
renovations? Also, Helen Stanfield is a former
Director of Admissions, and David Stanfield wrote
and published the history of Friends Homes.

Thankful
Week before Thanksgiving, I limp around real strange.
Huddle in the corner, as though I have the mange.
All the other turkeys, just gobble, gobble on.
I'm silent, and I act as if my gobbler's gone.
Everyone is thankful on Thanksgiving Day.
Friday it's forgotten. You all go on your way.
I know what thankful is, so listen when I say.
"It's great to be a turkey, after Thanksgiving Day."
We appreciate the part these Friends have
played, and continue to play in providing and
building this loving, supportive community for us
and our families as we grow older. This is the third
time in seven years that out choir has led a
Vespers worship at Friends Homes; finally, we had
no complaints that attendees could not hear us.
Practice does help us improve – whether it make us
perfect or not! Most attendees seemed genuinely
appreciative of our sharing, and we very
much enjoyed renewing acquaintances with
f/Friends, as well as meeting new f/Friends.

Treasurer’s Report Summary
THE CHOIR’S FINAL PROJECT for this
Anniversary Year will be leading meeting for
worship on Sunday, December 21. On that
morning, we will bring to you The Heart of
Christmas, by Pepper Choplin. In this season
when so many “good” activities compete for our
time and resources, we hope it will help us discern
and focus on what is most important.

Life is always about choices. How do we make
our way through all the trappings and the
wrappings, and, when there, choose the heart of
the Christmas event, the heart of the Christmas
story – past and present? How do we put our faith
into practice to bring that story, that reality, to our

Quakers for Kids
In 1662, the Parliament of England passed The
Quaker Act. This law made it a crime for Friends to
gather in groups of five or more. For nearly a
decade, Parliament passed laws against Friends.
All this legislation had a severe impact on the early
Quaker movement.
authorities felt awkward about threatening
children, they were soon able to overcome their
feelings. The boys were hauled outside and
beaten. All the children were sent home.
..........
Although they faced routine harassment by the
authorities, the children of Reading Meeting
continued to meet for worship. In fact, these
young Friends maintained the meeting at Reading
until their parents were finally released from
prison.
In towns in England like Reading, Bristol, and
Cambridge, authorities imprisoned the entire
population of adult Friends.
IN READING, THE imprisonment started when a
Quaker leader from the north came to visit. In
order to hear the visiting leader, many of the local
Friends convened a meeting in someone's home.
The authorities raided that assembly and threw
everyone into jail.
This dramatic story highlights the potential for
spiritual leadership among children. Adults and
children are able to experience Christ as the
Present Teacher.
Children Are Welcome
The following Sunday morning, authorities came
to the Friends meeting house. Those few adult
Friends who had been absent at the earlier
meeting were seized and arrested. Ultimately,
every Friend in Reading over the age of 16 was
thrown into prison.
..........
Though the adults were in prison, the children
decided to keep their meeting.
Many visitors to meeting, especially those to
unprogrammed or silent meetings, worry a lot about
their children and whether the children are being
quiet enough. They should relax.
While it would be appropriate to take your child
out of meeting if the child is screaming or being noisy
for long periods, the occasional noises of small
children are generally welcomed. Some paper and
crayons, or a book to read for older children, are
often helpful, too.
AT FIRST, THE YOUNG Friends
gathered together outside the
meeting house, itself. They could
not go inside because of armed
guards and a padlock on the door!
At last, they found a meeting space
inside an empty granary nearby.
There, answering the call of God
upon their own hearts, they met for
worship.
Most children, especially those of visitors, have a
tough time sitting silently for a full hour. Many
meetings have some sort of "First Day School" or
"Sunday school" for children. If you see an adult
rising after the start of meeting for worship and all
the children filing out, they're probably headed for
the First Day School.
Friends are generally quite tolerant of babies and
their noises. It should be considered normal at most
unprogrammed meetings to breast feed babies during
meeting.
Once again, the stillness of Quaker worship was
disturbed by hostile authorities. At first, the
soldiers were surprised to find only children. If the

From Our Past – Simply Speaking – 1990
What was going on around Jamestown Friends Meeting during late 1989
and early 1990? Here’s some “catching up” for you to think about. The
writer is unknown.
The choir, under the direction of Cindy Helmstetler,
provides lots of beautiful and inspiring music for us.
Their Christmas program provided a special
Christmas feeling for everyone. It is nice to see new
members in the choir: Brenda and Chester
Haworth, Peggie Baxter, and Martha Mattocks.
Carmen Farlow and Louise Richardson do a great
job on the organ and piano. Scott Lee is an
inspiration when he leads the congregational
singing.
Nineteen friends participated in Crop Walk in
High Point in October. This was great fun! Right,
Doris Ann?
..........
A successful Vacation Bible School was held in
July. Plans for an even bigger, better VBS are
underway for the summer of 1990. Thanks for your
work, Patrick.
Patrick Simpson was placed under the care of
the Yearly Meeting Recording Committee during
sessions at Yearly Meeting. We are proud of you,
Patrick.
WE HAVE RECEIVED SEVEN new members in the
past couple of months: Sharon Davis, Stephanie
Davis, Tracy Durham, Joy Stone, Doris Ann Garis,
and Joel and Carole Kennedy. Each one is actively
involved in the Meeting activities.
LOVE LOAVES WERE COLLECTED November 19,
and $320 was collected. One-half of this money
remains with us. This year some of the money was
used to buy fuel for one of the families we are
helping.
The Kiwanis Club has been very helpful to the
Meeting. Serving their meals has been a profitable
activity for the building fund. Beyond the profit,
members have enjoyed preparing these meals.
The fellowship has certainly been good for
Jamestown people. On Thursday evening,
December 21, the Meeting treated the Kiwanis
members. It was our way of saying “thanks, we
appreciate you.”
..........
In addition to the Kiwanis meals, the Meeting has
begun doing a bit of outside catering. All proceeds
go to the building fund, of course. We catered a
meal for Billy Ragsdale at Town Hall on
December 16. Then, on December 18 (between
periods of bad weather), we catered a meal for
Bow Stafford at the Wade Street Warehouse. In
August, we catered an outside meal at the
Mendenhall Plantation. Jewell Farlow has done a
tremendous job with planning and supervising these
catering projects.
Our recycling program is still working very well.
Keep saving your papers, foil, glass, and plastic
containers.
In July of last year, Jamestown Meeting
celebrated its 25th birthday with cake and candles.
Lots of friends helped us celebrate, including
Howard Coble and Victor Murchison, who were
speakers.
..........
Meeting activities would not be complete
without recognizing the “Wally Wagon.” It is now a
Yearly Meeting institution.
Many thanks go to Carmen Farlow and his
parents for hosting the New Year’s Eve party. It was
great.
THE “BIGGIE” RECENTLY WAS the groundbreaking
for the new meeting room. It became a reality on
Sunday, November 19, 1989. More than 130 people
came to see Vernon Richardson and Cecil Haworth
maneuver the bulldozer to get those first shovels of
dirt moved. This was combined with our second
annual Thanksgiving feast. We had waited a long
time for this to happen.
BENJAMIN JOEL KENNEDY, SON of Carole and
Joel, was born October 23, 1989. He is growing very
fast and has already outgrown his “preemie”
clothes. Some members just can’t wait for him to
begin attending Meeting activities – so the
“spoiling” process can begin. There was a
beginning of this on New Year’s Eve!
