What h A Christian?
By TERRY JONES
"Y* are the salt' of the earth:
ife are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill can- '
not be hid." Matthew 5:13-14.
J What is a Christian? This is
a vital question that We should
fill stop and analyze./ If you
are a member of a oliurch that
leaches the doctrine of Jesus
phrist then you profess to be a
Christian. You are a repre- 11
■ tentative of God, whether you
like it or even realize it. Since
there are so many professing
Christians' maybe we had just i
better find out what we claim 1
♦o be.l Just, because a person is ;
a church, member this by no
' means makes him a Christian, ’
f hut the follower of Christ us- I
V ually will join a church to be ’
able to work for his Lord in
q better way.
A Christian; is a follower of
Christ. Christ’s twelve dis
ciples were Christians, Jesus
told them, “Ye are the salt of|
the earth: the light of the
> world.” A Christian is like un
to a city set on a hill that can
not be hid. A follower of
Christ is meek, he hungers for
righteousness, he is merciful,
pure in heart, a peacemaker
and is willing to be perseceuted
for Christ’s sake. He is all of
these things according to Jesus.
Although a Christian is meek h•i
will stand up for his Lord, he
will shun the using of his Mas
ter's name in vain. A follow
er of Christ will present his life
a stable sacrifice to the world to
fight against all of its evil. He
will by no means give in to
temptations. A Christian will
do his best to stand up to the
trials that confront him espe
cially if he has been converted
after being a follower of the
world. He will endure his fel
lowmen’s sneers and live Christ
in front of his friends even if
he has to be persecuted with
words. A Christian will never
look back on his old life of sin
with desire.
The reward of the Christian i
is peace with God, a personal
friendship and a Heavenly home
with the Almighty. - These are

MAKING FRIENDS
Do you often feel lonesome
and “out of things?” Do you i
feel blue and rejected and won- j
der if life is worth living?
Everyone does now and then. |
Sometimes loneliness, even in
the midst of family and busi
ness associates and acquaint
ances, can become an acute psy- j
chological problem. All of us
are more or less shy. We of-1
ten think that other people!
don’t like us, and this makes
us unhappy.
Everyone wants to “belong”, 1
to be a part of a group and to
-jdo things along with others who I
! share our interests, our aims.
' Membership in groups with
' useful purposes is of great value
j to our own personality.
Making friends is easy for
some persons; others have to
work at it. Those who have no
j friends often are the ones who
would most like to have them,
i but don't know how to do it.
j Shyness and timidity is a habit {
! that can be overcome. The
! American Medical Association 1
offers a few suggestions thatj
have helped many people, of
all ages, to overcome loneli-!
j ness.
—Try to concentrate on your j
| assets and, for the time being, i
pay little attention to your!
shortcomings. You are not
i alone in doubts and insecurities. |
Everyone has them.
—Cultivate- a cheerful att:- !
1 1 tude. Say “Good Morning” to
. other folks in the office. Life
l is pretty complicated at times,
i but it is interesting and chal
lenging.- Approach your prob
• lems as a challenge that can
> be met.
1 —Try to develop your sense
I of humor. People who become.
■ offended easily generally do not
■ i attract friends. If someone
; ! snaps at you, reply with a
! ] smile, and, often as not, the
l ! anger will r\3lt.
; | —Make people feel important
.as much as you can. If a com
i pliment is deserved —on appear
| ance, on effort, on achievement
| —don’t fail to give it. For men:
,! Always make a favorable com-
I I ment when a lady changes her
hair style. This can be highly
| important t< ferhiikie morale,
j —Remember the old saying
I “To have friends, you must (X
a friend.” Invite a neighbor!
over for coffee. ' Send cards to 1
the sick and on .birthdays and j
anniversaries. Do the little
things that show other people!
you are interested in them. In :
turn, they will be interested in
you.
At first learning to make;
friends may make you self-1

but with patience and practice
it will come more naturally. At
the heart of friendship is a
genuine interest in other peo- 1
pie. This can be cultivated if
you will, just give it some
thought and effort now and
then.
