4A -THE CAROLINA T.MF.S Saturday, Dac. 2, 1974 KNOWING GOD By DONALD LOVB We as individuals know Mch other by association and constant contact. The same is true with animals, fish, fowls and so on. Our house pets know the family better than any one else. This is true because of association. Any person or thing will lean to ward the atmosphere or kind ness shown them. The relationship between mother and baby is much closer than father and baby due to daily and constant as sociation. The baby will even tually become closer to the father and other member of the family. We become acquainted with each other and ohter things because of nature. Nature a big part in helping to govern or control us physically. It is a natural thing for us to want food, water and each other. It would not be natural for us to thrive or live without either. This is the part of man that causes him to thrive for over and above any thing else. He has trained himself to satisfy his his body with those things for which it craves. Man has become a wizard with his body He can take the heart from the body of one and put it into the body of another. Man has learned to prolong the lives of individuals. This is the part of man that is related to God. This is the hidden wisdom of God being revealed to man through the spirit of God but man has not yet accepted. He can only see himself, the sac rifices he has made to bring himself to this point, the will ingness of his parents to sup port his efforts. God cannot be seen in this program at all. This time is past; we are behind. We need to speed-up our steps from a fast walk to a running pace. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child all of my actions were as a child.Now I a ipan, I do or try to do the things of men. I became a father and now a grand- H , father, and it is a must for me to be a man. Al I grew,'l had playmates. We came along as children side-by side. We bacame teen agers, then young men and wo men and now we have reached the golden age period. What bothers me most is that a few of these friends areyet chil dren. They have not found God nor do they know Him. My heart bleeds for them. WORDS FOR THE WORLD PEOPLE OF PERCEPTION . . . will 9eek the Reality in every Sanctified Soul who mani tests it. Such people always at tain to the truth, and are not veiled from the Sun of the Di vine World. . . . Therefore man must be the seeker after the Reality.

Some are preaching God's word, others are teaching God's word and best of all, living God's word. What a thrill! Saul, who was a devout Pharisee, was one day con verted when he asked permis sion to go to Damascus, put a stop to the spreading of this new thing Christ had started before His death, later called the Christian Religion. Because he proved himself to God and man, God changed his name from Saul to Paul. Man accep ted him because St. Peter stated that Paul was greater than any of them. Paul's intelectual status did not stand in the way of getting the wishes of God over to his listeners. In fact, it was an asset. Every where he went — his story was the same. He es tablished more Christian bands than any one known. He worked alone but he worked as a team with many. He also trained young men to give their lives to God completely to become as involved or even greater. Paul's convictions were greater in this new field than it was while, a Pharisee. He was a powerful figure then. He possesses more power than before because he now knows God and sees God clearer than before because he now knows God and sees God clearer than, before due to the connecting factor God and His Son that he failed to see before his con version. Today, the only way we can see and know God, is by the same channel Paul had to go through. Christ stated, wt must be born again. This is what happened to PauL The spirit which God put into us at our birth, is what we have to learn how to se parate from our physical or our natural being. God put them together but He separa ted them. For us to know God. we must find the spirit within us so we can communicate with God wHO~l the Spirit." Those of us who have not found ourselves, will repeat the same question: How can a man enter now into the womb of his mother to be reborn? To know God phy sically seems impossible but to know Him spiritually is so easy. We can only know Him through and in the spirit.

Loan" program in the history of the United States was established by the Elks in 1919. Commander Evangeline Booth of the Salvation Army said in 1919 that the Order of Elks "very largely furnished their funds" and helped to raise a major portion of the rest of their funds for the Army's work in World War One. During World War Two, Elks conducted refresher schools for young men about to enter flight training and they were the only civilian or ganization chosen to recruit construction specialists for the Army and Navy ... a job they accomplished three months ahead of schedule, according to Adjutant General J. A. Ulio. I LOOKB> AMft I SAW By KIV. C. K. BTONI. "Having a Christian Prop" There are unlisted and un measureable reasons for an in dividual to follow after the precepts and concepts of Christ Jesus. Sometimes the unplea sant activities of life cause one to pause and evaluate himself hut it is satisfying for one to know that slowly but surely, he is winning the battle against evil. There are so many little victories that the follower of Jesus can gain if he could learn how to be slow to take offense. causes one to become disorganized from within. It further causes one to seek a temporary solution to his pro blems rather than a lasting one. Anger sends a quick impulse from the muscle to the brain that causes a temporary block age in one's thinking capacity. Since man is body, soul and spirit, it is important that every element of man functions to bring stability when needed. If God is spirit and man is made in the likeness of his Creator, who is God, then man needs a spiritual supply source that can only be found if he finds com munion with a force called God If one finds help in God, through Christ, he has a Chris tian prop when seemingly he cannot stand. Hope in times of trouble is one of the greatest props one could ever lean on. Without hope, there Is, for the most part, no foundation on which MIST - MASTER EYEGLASS CLEANER Prevents Steaming Apd J/y Fogging On All Glass Surfaces. Call 489-6623 ROBERTS' DISTRIBUTING CO.

The hopeless in dividual maybe forever help less, especially until he seeks help through believing. Se condly, one needs something to lean on called faith for faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Thirdly, one needs a Christian prop called patience. Certain ly it takes time for an individual to grip on lasting hope that is eternal. Paul in Epheslans 6:10-11 warned the Christians to "Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Finally, my bretheren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might." One of the necessary strongholds for all generations has been prayer. He who hath ears to hear let him hear.
