‘The Ultimate Knowledge’

To the editor:

Science gives answers to the questions of man,

But it’s only a fraction of God’s master plan.

From first our corruption, and first our great fall,

Our quest to be god-like has but made us small.

Only a breath are we in our lives, till we call his name and his spirit arrives.

Looking to answer the things we don’t know,

We aimlessly study and run to and fro.

The lessons God teaches that we seek the most,

Will come to us only from his Holy Ghost.

SBI warns of scam

The State Bureau of Investigation has learned the SBI’s main phone number, 919-662-4500, is being used in a scam asking for money. The public should know that the SBI would never solicit money from a private citizen.

“Unfortunately there is no way to prevent spoofing of a phone number,” SBI assistant director Chris Laws, who oversees the agency’s information technology section, said in a news release. “In the event you receive such a call, simply hang up.”
