recollect reading about a s;gn a
feller in Florida had out in front
of his tourist cafe. It said: "Conv
federate Cooking Yankee Style.:'
fuw.. thee was. a- real diplomat,
a feller that belongs in the U. S.
Senate. . , r
Sometimes I think all our Sen
ators talks too much. I recollect
onct, when ; somebody ask Cal
Coolidgd' why he was knowed
"Silent Cal." said he had found
out early in life that a feller ne
ver had to enplain omapun.h.e
never said. I reckon thats good
'advice fer all of .us, especial the
winuuen folks. Clem Webster was
idling the fellers at the country
store Saturday night 'about the
time he took his old lady to the
doctor and the doctor put a ther
.womatar io her mouth and told
her to keep it shut fer five rrriit
I'tes. Clem said them was the
mnst eniovable five minutes he
ever spent, said he ask the doc
tor what he'd take fer that dad
burned thing,
After th fellers got all the
world iproblems seitled Saturday
nighl, they got around to disoua
ssing Liz Taylor. On account of
:he jansuege tliey was using, I'm
mighty glad Zeke Crubb's prea
cher dirta't drop by Xer a spell.
About tlie last we heard from, the
o.d Parson, he was fitting Ul
cers, and if he'd been there Satur
day night he would have got ul
cers deluxe. According to some
of the fellers, Liz has announced
she ain't planning! another mar
riage fight soon. Ed Doolittle al
lowed aivhow they wasn't much

Dlanniiiii to her other tour and he
couldn't see how number 'five

ter Editor, is about all they said
about Liz thftt you -9iua put in
a family newspaper. j; "
Well, politics fer" the November
elections pas got started jprttio
good. If we got to have al drought
would be a good year lor .
With about half' (the crdpt.work
eliiiwnatedi by r drought, t armei s
and' ranchers would have nore
time to spend an politics aad the
Guvernment would have, to wor
ry less about Ue surplus.: We got
plenty of candidates around the
country: but Mt wny issues. It's
like the cafe owner that told a
customer, "We ain't got nothnuj
today but ham and eggs, but we

DIOLE FACTS
OF INTEREST
By Ella V.- PHdgen
"The Church The Body of
Christ."
St. Paul's phrase "Each part
finds its wholeness within the to
tal body, not by itself, but e$ch
part" is different form the t
oars as the leg is different from
Hre BrmifThese hfierences do not
destroy the unity of the whole
body, rather they enrich it anJ
make possible unity in diversity.
Not unifonmity; just as the hu
man -body has a head in whtth
ia centered i its direction and au
thority, so' the church has a head
Jesus Christ '
Jeaur Christ is the head of the
Body, the Lord of the Church, the
One to whom, we look for autho
rity, and the one from whom we
look for authority, and the one
from .whom. We learn what God
wui a for us. Martin Luther sug
gested that every Christian shou
ld be a Christ to his neighbor.
Thus we come to see- the church
as a ministering community, with
each member sharing the minis
try of Jesus. The church as seen
in these Biblical terms a Com
munity of believers, a redemptive
fellowship, 'the Body of Christ, is
not Just , a collection ot miscella
neous individuals: Rather these
individuals are bound together in
a company.". ' '
. The-Christian community and
the life in Christ is a cooperate
life in which the people are de
pendent upon one another, and res
ponsible for one another. In this
sense, being a Christian is always
in communion with God and in
communion with other Christians
of hlis-congregation, his denomi
nation, and other Christian groups
both far and near. . t ;
jm When we look at thee local chu
rch,' we may not see it. As the
people of God or the Body of
Christ; but whatever It appears
to be does not altar the true
meaning of the nature of the chu
rch. Any church is the true cmi
reh when it is faithfully fulfil
ling its nature, as the people of
God, and the Body of Christ.
This is the goal,, which we ou
ght to be realizing ' with God's
Grace. -
