Monday, September 13, 1948 / Moral Side To Hospital Issue' Dr. W. S. Rankin, of the North Carolina Medical Care Commission, in a recent address before the North Wilkesboro Kiwanis club went into many facts and figures to show the need and value of hospital facilities in this community. But the most inspiring part of Dr. Ran kin's address was the conclusion which set forth the moral and spiritual reasons for a hospital, and we quote as follows that part of his message: Sickness and suffering are not in the world as accidents of creation but are hef*e as important elements in the all-wise creative design. They are essential parts of the total scheme of things. They can not be left out of life's pattern and the finest elements and expressions of charac ter retained. Why? Because without suffering, actual and potential, that is danger, there can be no such element in character as sympathy, for sympathy can originate only in suffering, actual and anticipated, and without suffering it would be non-existent. You can sympa thize only with someone or something that suffers or is about to suffer, that is, in danger of suffering. Sympathy is that element of character that identifies the interest of one with that of another. It makes the interest of hus band and wife and of parent and child one; it is the cement that solidifies real friendship; it is the bond that binds peo ple into a collective, functioning social group or organism?into society and civ ilization itself. It is the element that gives character, size, greatness. If a per son can identify himself with another, with several others, with many others, he has developed and enlarged his charac ter to that extent. Sympathy integrates and expands the one into the many. Without sympathy which attaches the one to another, there can be no genuine affection, no love?that emotional and spiritual quality which is the very heart of the first and greatest of all Command ments, that Commandment which is the fulfillment of all the law and the proph ets. And love is the motive, the sustaining dynamic of service. We can only work day in and day out for that which we love. And what is service? What is its es sential element? Service is sacrifice? not symbolically hut literally. Not a cell in the body, digestive cell, oxygen carry ing cell, contrasting cell of muscle, or thinking cell of brain, that does its work without consuming, without sacrificing its own vital substance. No "collection of cells that constitutes human bodies serves without self-consumption, without self sacrifice?-not visibly and in a few tragic hours as once enacted on Calvary, but in risibly, microscopically, slowly through the long years. It is the ordained way of life that leads to peace and happiness. To summarize: Out of suffering, and only out of suffering, comes sympathy; out of sympathy, love; out of love, serv ice; out of service, sacrifice; out of sacri fice, the consummation of life. There is an inspired picture of this world when suffering and sympathy have completed their work in the perfection of human character. Here it is: * "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first ?sarth were passed away; and there was no more sea." Why no more sea? What doee the! absence of sea signify? It means that the j development of sympathy and the perfec tion of human character will have done away with that which separates people, 'with moral apathy and indifference, with isolation and loneliness. "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from' God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God." Heaven here on earth; old Nature redeemed. a "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away." And so we have the picture of the new order when suffering, and sympathy, and love, and service, and sacrifice have com pleted and perfected human character. ? o All Farms Need First Aid Kits "First aid kits are essential equipment on every farm," declared Paul Choplin, county agent for the State College Exten sion Service, here this week. Facilities for prompt treatment of injury may save a life or prevent serious infection, he as serted. According to recommendations of the National Safety Council, Mr. Choplin said, good first aid kits need not be ex pensive or difficult to provide. Home made kits containing the essential medi cations, drugs, and dressings may serve equally as well as the more costly pre pared kits on the market, he added. LIFE'S BETTER WAY m; WALTER E. ISENHOUR High Point, N. C., Route 4 GOD'S WONDERFUL WORLD One of our readers from Wilkes coun ty, who, I take it for granted, reads our department in The Journal-Patriot of North Wilkesboro, N. C., under the head ing, "Life's Better Way," says in a recent letter: "Dear Brother Isenhour: This morning as I look out over this beautiful country landscape and behold God's world bathed in His glorious sunshine, there is joy and thankfulness abounding in my heart and soul. I'm thankful to Him who gives the sunshine and rain, and who makes the breezes blow, and the fields of yellow grain to ripen. But above all I'm thank ful to Him for His living Word, that tells me the great story of His Son Jesus who died that sinner might be saved from eternal darkness anch death to eternal light and life. I oftentimes hear a song entitled, 'Thank God,' which thrills my heart and soul. I thank God for the spiritual songs; poets who have written such songs as There Is a Fountain,' 'Tell It To Jesus,' 'Where We'll Never Grow Old,' and many, many more. I never tire of hearing such Gospel songs. "This morning I feel that I should send you a little offering, so I'm enclosing five dollars. I know it isn't much, but I give it in cheerfulness and humbleness, know ing that it will be used to the glory of God. May God bless you in your work, and won't yjou pray that my life may be a blessing to many travelers along life's pathway? If we never meet this side of heaven I know we will shake hands up there. There we'll sit down to that sup per in the sky, and while ceaseless ages of eternity roll by we will live in the brightness of eternal day. From a fellow traveler on the road to that eternal home, "HERMAN D. WALKER." Brother Walker, I thank God for your good- letter and the liberal offering. "May God richly and abundantly bless and re ward you, and may your life prove a great blessing as you travel heavenward. Indeed we live in a beautiful, wonderful world, for which we should thank and praise God continually, but we shall have a far more beautiful, wonderful world in which to live "in the sweet by and by" when we meet Jesus in all His glory. O that we might help tens of thousands live for Jesus and reach heaven! "He that winneth souls is wise." (Prov. 11:30). How wonderful to be a real soul-winner! By leading souls to Jesus, and helping them reach heaven, we help save them frojn that awful place of outer darkness and eternal despair.
