The Mmxmrds Of Fire Effects Us AU
This week is Fire Prevention Week. Actually, fire prevention
should be observed every day in the year. We as individuals
can help to keep down fire hazards by practicing safety meas
ures; when it comes to lighted matches, ciKaretts, over loaded
circuits, inflammable liquids, oily rags and old newspapers.
The Volunteer Fire Dept. of Murphy responds to fires day
or night in an effort to keep down the loses of life and property
?
Having evidenced tragedy in the past, they would appreciate
your earnest efforts tp help them control this constant jnenace.
Save a life, sive a home, save a business, save a car, save
a forest by keeping down fire hazards.
SsUesmmuship Improves Public RelmtUms
It has always been said that when opportunity knocks one
should pay heed. This would certainly hold true on the Sales
Training School that begins in Murphy on October 16. There
-will be six sessions in all and much information is in the offer
ing for all interested parties.
Production as well as consumption is at an all time high. The
consumer is working harder so that he or she may be able to
own the many new modern conveniences that are now on the
market.
? It makes our work more interesting and certainly more prof
itable, if we are well informed on what we have to offer the
consumer Selling tools are essential in completing this task.
This is an opportunity one cannot afford to miss.

In our approach to practically
everything: our job; our family
life, our outside Interests, if in
deed we hav? any at all; and a
hove all in our religious life, in our
approach to God, we have, become
limited and narrow. Perhaps this
is a natural consequence of our
living in the twentieth century, a
time of increasing specialization in
virtually' every area of life. Within
a relatively short time all of the
professions have become special
ized. a fact which becomes quite
clear to us when we look at the
medical profession. Many once,
large areas in the intellectual life
of our world have become ex
tremely specialized. A man is no
longer simply a chemist he is a
research chemist in a particular
industry, and works only on the
Improvement of one specific pro
duct. Or a man no longer devotes
his life to the study of literature;
he devotes it to the study of only
one writer; and hence, becomes,
not an expert in English, litera
ture, but an expert on Milton,
Chaucer, or perhaps Spencer. In
the trades, the same thing has
happened. More often than not a
man who once might have excell
ed in metal working, producing
exquisite pieces of jewelry or fine
quality household utensllg by
hand, is now relegated to perform
ing but one simple operation over
and over again on an assembly
line.
The result of this over-special
ization so characteristic of our cul
ture has been the narrowing of
our horizons, the decreasing of our
vision, the limiting of our ability
to understand life and the world
about us as a total, unified whole
While the process of specialization
has perhaps been a necessity in
order that we might respond to the
economic challenges of our day
and utilize to the fullest the prog
ress made in so many of the pro
fessional, scientific, and lntellec
trial fields, it has been a mixed
blessing Indeed, for we have ail
too often become so involved In
this process of knowing more and
more about less and less {hat we
have become very limited crea
tures indeed.
That we have become limited ir
our abilities and narrow in our in
terests is all too evident in the
reasons set before divorce courts
by perhaps two out of three coup
les seeking: to sever the bonds of
Holy Matrimony. "We simply are
not compatible". "We have no in
terests in common". In short, we
simply admit to having no capac
ity for broadening ourselves to the
extent of developing interests
which we might share with the
*?rson we profess to love. We ad
mit to being narrow and either
unable or unwilling to do anything
about It. In all too many instances
we have allowed our Increasing
narrowness to utterly stagnate oat
intellectual lives, so that we be
come mere cogs in the machine o
industry, doing our Job; but In
conversation showing ourselves to
be both bored and boring, for we
have limited -our interests to the
sports page or to the co/nica if
indeed we read our papers at all.
Our intellectual stagnation shows
itself clearly as we go out of
church after hearihg the simples
| of sermons and say, "I just didn't
get anytihng out, of the service".!
Naturally, for in all likelihood we
stopped listening after the first
sentence as we simply did not
wish to exercise the mind which
God gave us to use. Our reading
If indeed we go beyond the sports
page and the comic section (and
these sections are fine for the per
son seeking relaxation or Interest
ed in sports) too seldom consists
of anything but sensational pocket
books or the cheap sensational
lam which American Journalism
has found essential to sell paperi
and mags sines. What Is wrong

Girl SeMto
The Girl Scouts met Thursday,
October 4, and elected officers.
They are as follows: President,
Ida Arrant; vice-president. Mar
cia Kay Olson; secretary, Linda
Schuyler; Treasury, Beverly Sand
ders; Reporter, Elizabeth Gibbe.
The Girls plan to meet in front
sonal relationship to Him since our I
childhood. Perhaps this has hap-'
pened because we became Inter
ested in other things and pushed
God aside aa what we might call
"kid stuff".. Or perhaps it' has
happened because God seemed re.
mote and hard to understand; so,
we went to Church and did what
was expected of us until we be
came old enough to be on our own
and simply cast God aside be
cause He didn't seem really Im
portant, not really relevant in a
fast moving, active life. Or per
haps we kept on aa faithful people,
devoted children of God, yet not
able really to know Him and to
have Km for our constant com
panion and unable to realise the
fullness of the Joy of the Christian
life because we remained saddled
with an Immature, childish con.
ception of God.
Tragic numbers of people have,
usually through their own failure
to read their Bibles and other good
spiritual reading by those who
hove come closest to knowing God
as He really is; or through the
as He really is; or through their
laziness in prayer and in attend
ance at Church, or through the
failures of parents, teachers, and
all-too often because of the fail
ures of clergymen, have failed to
develop a mature knowledge of
God and of His ways with us.
When \ve have thus failed, we us
ually have kept our Inadequate
childhood conception of God.
Because we have failed to real
ly learn in an adult way whit
God la like and what he expects of
us; because in our prayer life we
have never gotten beyond the
"now I lay me down" stage, we
find that our religion la inadequate
to support us and carry us
through times of crisis, and we
find at all times that it is difficult
indeed to have a satisfying, endur.
ing, and joyful relationship with
God, for we hardly even know
Him.
Our inadaquate and limited con
ceptons of God very o'ften are
frightening ones because of wrong
ideas that have been planted in us
by people who wanted to scare us
into being good. .We often have the
notion that God is "out to get
us"! hence we often become neu
rotic about religion thinking of it
as little more than a code of be
haviour, and the Church as little
more than a society of puritanical
"do-gooders", forgetting that God
has revealed Himself in Chris
Jesus as a God of infinite love and
mercy, who is constantly seeking
us in orden that He may bring us
into a healthy, meaningful, and
joyful relationship with Him now
and for all eternity. .
Or else, if we have not taken the
trouble to read, pray, and medita
te, or think upon the things of God
we have allowed Him to have no
lftore meaning in our lives than a
jovial good fellow ?rho smiles in
diligently on all that we do, no
matter how evil our deeds mi^fct
be; or perhaps we think of Him as
little more than an indescribable
blob, as one small Church school
child once pictured Him whei
asked to draw a picture of God
with little A no meaning for life
Then, sometimes we pictured Him
as a very old man with a long
beard, a Person really too old and
too far removed from modern life
to be at all concerned with whit
is happening in His world in the
twentieth-century. Or possibly we
think of Him as a resident police
man, holding up His hand laying,
"Stop! No! No!" as though every
thing we might enjoy doing were
wrong. '
Such limited narrow concepts of
God are not only inadequate; they
are wrong, utterly wrong. They do
not in any way picture God as He
has revealed Himself to us. Where
de we go and what do we'do If we
have failed to know God as He
really is; if we have never grown
up spiritually? We go to the Holy
Gospels, any and all of them, tor it
is there that we see God dwlling
as Man among men In order that
you and I may truly come to know
Him as He really is. God took to
himself human flesh In the person
of Jens of Nazareth in order that
He coold really show us njhat He
is Mke In a way feat we could vi
and in order that wo
might enter Mo a living,
