A GENERAL MOTORS MASTERPIECE
So much more of Everu thing?
Measure the wonderful new Pontiac for size, beauty and
performance against the finest and costliest cart.
Pontiac is big?with its new 122-inch wheelbase and roomy,
comfortable bodies.
Pontiac is beautiful?easily the most distinctive car on the
road?with luxurious color-matched Interiors.
With Pontiac's famous foual-Range power train* you get
more power than you'll probably ever need?with a distinct
earing in gasoline.
But most remarkable Is Pontiac's price tag?just a shade
above the lowest?and its wonderful reputation for de
pendability, economy and high re-sale value.
Gome In and eee for yourself that Pontiac offers much more
of everything?except price!

Truth ought to be fitted tor. and
pointed toward, thq people who
need it TKe Master-Teacher him
self showed how this is done. Much
of Jesus' most vital teaching was
directed to what we would call
"hecklers." Sometimes their ques
tions were meant to trip him up
(like the three recorded in Mat
thew 22). Sometime they were
asked from mere curiosity, some
times they were desperate grop
ings for light. But whatever the
motive. Jesus always gave them
answers?plus. He*would ta!:e ad
vantage of the moment to push in
a pointed truth. If only preachers
and Sunday school tcncheru- and
politicians i. i spend more
time answer. questions peo
ple do ask. ii .-) of questions
they don't ask!
? ?
Sharp Enough Tn Stick
There is another sense in which
truth, to be effective must be point
ed. It has to be the opposite of
dull. Now ther are equations
where truth can be dull, and wel
come. If you are looking up in the
encyclopaedia the population of
North Dakota, or trying to find out
what niacin is, you don't want to be
amused, startled or entertained.
You just want plain fact plainly
stated. Professors and other studi
ous people are trained to absorb
truth no matter how dully it is
presented. It's a poor student who
can't learn as much (rom a dry
professor as from a witty one.
But most human situations are
not in class-reoms. Truth that Is
not dry, ought not to sound dry.
Truth that's worth remembering
ought to be told in such a way that
it can't be forgotten. Again, our
Lord's teaching was of this sort.
He never told a dull truth, and he
never told his bright truth in a
dull way. His sayings are an point
ed; they have a way of sticking in
the mind. What he says flashes in
the eye like sunlight on steel.
There was no one around taking
notes when Jesus spoke. His say
ings are remembered not because
somebody had ? good notebook but
because what he said, stuck.
"To The Point"
What do wo mean by a point
leu joke or a pointless remark?
We mean, at coarse, that the thing
was not worth saying, however
true it may have been. We want
people to speak to the point If
we are going to listen to them we
want them to be saying something
that is worth saying, something
we'll be worse off for not knowing.
Now again Jesus' teaching was
pointed truth in this sense. It was
relevant truth, tt was truth dealing
with specific situations. He came
"down to brags tacks" as we say.
His teachings did not float away
up In the clouds, they came down
to earth- and walked there. They
had to do with people's real prob
lems. And what wo shall find out.
if we study Jesus' teachings faith
fully. is they deal with our prob
lems today too. The problem of
the item suds oornstlmes seeming
to conflict?of church and state, of
country and conscience; the prob
lems of death and of the life be
yeod; the problem of bow bast to
serve and obey God;
the men of i
they concern us no less. Je
