boat that was pulling skiers.
Among the occupants of this
third boat not directly in

skiers reported seeing the
Davenport boat and were
afraid it was going to hit
them but instead it collided
with the Dunlow boat behind
them.

and he assisted Mrs. Jones
while the young girl’s
father, who came from the
boat in front, help pull his
daughter from beneath the
overturned craft. They were

VARIETY OF LIFE STYLES
International Sunday School Lesson
Scripture: Matthew 19:16-30
By Mrs. Jesse Waller
We were not created by an all wise God, and then turned
loose in this world to do as we please. We were created for a
meaningful purpose, each one of us unique and different. A
spark of the divine was implanted in each creation and
everyone was given a choice. There was also a Light, a Life,
and a Way provided, so that we should not loose our way.
God chose us before the foundation of the world, we did not
choose Him first.
Then, as if this were not enough, He spoke through Moses,
and gave His children some commandments by which to
live. P—’ond that God sent His only Son to show us how to live.
His lite style was perfect, and there was no sin in Him He
gave up His life as a ransom for our sin, and promised that
His Spirit would be with us always. How can we reject this
great act of Love.
In different parts of our nation, and in our world, we may
have many different varieties of life style. The one spoken of
in our scripture, who came to Jesus asking “Teacher what
good deed must I do to have eternal life”? has lost his way.
He knew the commandments, and had kept them from his
youth up, but Jesus told him to sell all that he had and give to
the poor, and he would have treasure in heaven, and added,
come follow me. His life style was self centered, and wrong.
When the disciples heard this they were amazed, and
asked Jesus, who then can enter the kingdom of heaven?
The scripture says, “Jesus looked at them and said, “with
men this is impossible, but with God all things are pos
sible.” Matthew 19:26.
We live in a society where it is impossible to keep up with
the changing life styles, if that is what one was striving to do.
Young mothers leave their children at nurseries and kin
dergarten schools, and work from early morning until late
afternoon. Some of them must, just to feed their families.
TTiere are others who must want to bring in an extra salary,
so that they may accumulate more things, have a second
car, and most of all get away from the “kids”. Then there is
money for the baby sitter.
The older generation, who are joiners of every organ-,
ization in town, and spend their evenings playing games, but
have no time for church, form a dangerous life style.
This year, at graduation time, my attention was called to
the sinful waste of money, and way in which many of the
youth celebrated graduation night-all night, in mixed groups
in motels or apartments. A Christian service, or bac
cauaureate sermon was not allowed, because of the large
non Christian population.
The ministerial union got together, and had a service at
one of the churches for the graduates who desired to come.
Two pews held the graduates who came, out of the hundreds
who chose not to come.
Prayer : Dear Lord, help us to place you back in the center
of our lives, where you belong. Forgive our trespasses,
