GROWING
IN UNDERSTANDING
AND PATIENCE
Memory Selection: "Let ua not
be wery in well doing : for in
due season we shall reap, if we
faint not."
(Galatians 6:9)
Lesson Teit: Galatians 8:1-10;
I'hilippiana 4; Coloaeiana 3:12-15.
Today we study two of the most
desirable and desperately needed
areas of Christian growth . . . pa
tience and understanding.
That the little church at l'hilip
pi was especially dear to Paul's
heart no one can doubt; not if he
has truly read and understood the
gentle little epistle that went
forth to the people of that church
out of the loneliness in Paul's
heart as he languished in a Ram
an prison. It was a good church
much better in its practice of
the Christian virtues towards its
members and those around (but
not of ) it than many of its grand
er peers. But still (as in every
area of human relationships) there
had been some dissension between
two of its members. That Paul
was concerned at this turn of
events is made very clear in his
appeal to the congregation. For
Paul understood clearly that a
house divided is a house that is
weakened in its purpose. 18111
therefore appealed for this little j
congregation to assume the gar- I
ments of "mercies, kindness, hum
bleness of mind, meekness, long
suffering ..." Forbearance, for
giveness and charity actively
practiced were to be the fruits
on the tree of Christianity, that
non-Christians might see . . . and
marvel . . . and be inspired.
The lesson contained in our text
is just as apt today as it was in
the days of the early Christians.
As we pause and survey the
church of our choice, what do we
see? Do we see a warm brother
hood working together in a com
mon cause, sharply aware of the
needs of one another? Do we see
our church growing, as newcomers
in town become aware of a closely-knit
fellowship ? Or do they
see a house divided, with dissen-

Dissension is not the Christian
way. Kather, true (. nnstianny
breeds tolerance of ideas and opin
ions contrary to ours but perhaps
none the less genuine and sincere
For, from new and different ideas
comes growth and expansion and
personality . . . and with an ex
panding personality, one is auto
matically a little more mature.
All can learn from one another,
n true brotherhood.
Paul challenges the reader: "Ac
ept life!" Man was made in the
mage of God. He walked upright
in two legs; he was given a
train; a soul; emotions. He was
given the capabilities of feeling
joy; of sorrow the whole gamut
of emotions, from the depth to
the heights. We know not what
fate holds for us from day to day,
but of one thing we can be very
sure .... whatever happens to
us, as individuals, as a family
unit, as a nation'- it is God's
purpose. From experience we
learn; from what we learn, we
profit.
Paul calls for mercy towards
fellowmen .... no gloating, "It
serves him right" attitude towards
a fallen foe. Tolerance is, again,
the keyword here. An extended
hand, a warm word of comfort and
reassurance here is Christian
witnessing on the highest plane!
For a true Christian lives his re
ligion.
Yet he lives it in a humility of
spirit that is pleasing in God's
Bight; for God is the master, the
man the servant. Jesus' humility
of spirit set him so far above the
arrogant of his time that the con
trast became an impact!
With the love of Christ in our
heart, therefore, let us go our
ways and make the impact of OUR
beliefs shine through our every
word, thought and deed in
Christ's name!

With The
Bible
MAJORITIES CAN BE WRONG
When St Paul m at Bpheaus
hit miaty MMt about Christ
and the rashes of God's pm had
a profound effect. Demetrius and
the silveramftM had been doing- a
his business, making aOver shrine
for (he goddiat Diana, but
their buajMM mm falling off
steadily. They could not take this
lying down, for they adored Diana
also they adored the money they
made selling I mac at to help other
people adore hart
Finally somebody
chant: "Great is Diana of the E-
phesians!" Soon others joined and
swelled the chorus until "aH with
one voire, about the space of two
hours cried out, Great is Diana
ot the Ephesians!" You see! the
great mass of peoplpe were still
faithful to Diana! Referring to
the religion which surrounded this
pagan goddess, the town clerk
id confidently, "Theee Things
Cannot Be Spoken Against" (Acts
19:34-,).
In striking contrast, Paul was
later informed at Rome concern
ing those who stood with him: "As
concerning this sect, we know
that everywhere it is spoken
against" (Acts 28:22).
We wonder which side our read
ers would now prefe to be on: that
of the superstitious multitude, or
that of the minority who place
their faith in the Bible.
Millions worshipped the goddess
Diana from a thousand years be
fore Christ to two centuries after,
but who knows her today ? Where
is the evidence of all the miracle
she is supposed to have wrought?
Her glory is little more than a
memory and the religion which re
volved around her name is a thing
of the past.
But the Bible, for all these cen
turies and more, has stood un
changed and unchangeable. It
has weather, not barely but hand
somely, all the storms of criti
cism and opposition and has prov
ed itself to be indeed the Word of
God.
Read the Bible, especially that
part which is meant for us today:
the epistles of Paul. There we
find how God, the Judge of all,
can be just and still justify the
sinner (Rom. 3:21-26), how He
paid for our sins Himself when
he died as God the Son on Cal
vary's cross (I Cor. 16:1-3) and
how He can now offer salvation
to all solely by grace, through
faith in Christ (Eph. 1:7; 2:7-10).
Those who believe these things
may not be in the majority; they
may even be "spoken against,"
but they alone, in all the world,
enjoy the knowledge, the assur
ance and the joy of salvation.

For the first time science has found
a new healing; substance with the as
tonishing ability to shrink hemor

surgery. In case after case, while
gently relieving pain, actual reduc
tion (shrinkage) took place. Most
amazing of all results were so thor
ough that sufferers made astonishing
statements like "Piles have ceased to
be a problem!" The secret is a new
healing substance (Bio-Dyne) dis

NEW LOOK AT USE
OF LIMESTONE
Farm operators within Madison
County who make proper applica
tions of lime to their farmlands
have learned through experience
that H is a paying proposition,
says Ralph Ramsey, county ASCS
office manager. Its uses when
needed not only increase the crop
yield but it also increases the
quality of the crop.
Soil acidity was a problem
which was intensively studied in
the 1920's and 1930's. During this
period, soil scientists assumed
they had learned all about the
problem, and little time or funds
were devoted to the problem until
just the past few years.
While the hydrogen ion was
considered the principal, or even
the only cause of soil acidity, this
concept is now changed. The sol
uble and exchangeable aluminum
ions in combination with the hy
drogen ions are now considered
to be a major cause of soil acidi
ty. They are not in themselves J,
the cause of poor plant growth
but create conditions which re
strict growth on the acid soils.
Besides" hydrogen and aluminum
toxicity, the damage is caused by
excessive solubility of manganese,
iron, boron, zinc and copper or
deficiencies of calcium, magnesi
um, phosphorous and molybdenum.
These factors seldom occur at the
same time; but when a crop which
is sensitive to soil acidity is plant
ed on an acid soil, some of them
will combine to restrict plant
growth. Several states have mod
ernized their soil testing tech
niques to evaluate these other fac
tors especially the aluminum
ions.

use of agriculture limestone to

In conclusion, Ramsey explain

a limited amount of ACP funds
for use in sharing the cost of lime
on farms which have a need for
this practice. Interested farmers
