THE CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES CHURCH PAGE Life's Battles Are Within "For whatsoever 1* born of God overcometh the world: and this U the victory that overcometh the world, even Our faith." I JOHN 5:4. Life's great battles are won or lost within the human breast. Such jp not just a contemporary fact; modern experience only bears out what is written on every page of history. This eternal fact, the which Jesus was perfectly familiar with, accounts, largely, for the consistent emphasis he placed upon faith. He realized it ? and we must realise it, too ? that it is faith in God which enables a person to overcome every obstacle to abundant living. More and more, we are being made aware of this truth. Psychopathic wards are overflowing with people who have ex perienced mental ? and physical ? crashes. Some of these mis fortunes seem stupid and unnecessary to those who have never passed through them, but they are real enough to the sufferers. The speed at which the average person lives, the delicate and difficult decisions which are forced upon him almost every day, the confusion of the issues he faces, and the causes which clamor for his support, all have the effect of reducing life to a bedlam. Nothing less than superb spiritual skill is sufficient to enable him to survive, and, generally speaking, the average person's spiritual training and religious faith have not kept pace with his technological equipment. Excessive loads seldom break men who are capable of organ izing their spiritual resources for effective living. Rather, the reverse is true. One psychological counsellor of wide experience recently said: "I have made the discovery that in almost every case the man went to pieces before the business." To that, may be added the comment of a young maid in a great sanitorium: "I have noticed that the big difference in patients is the en vironments they have got inside of them." Chemical compounds ^consist of atoms which are arranged in certain proportions. A musical chord consists of a series of tones whose vibrations maintain a certain ratio. Disturb the relationship of atoms and you destroy the compound. Aiter the ratio of tone vibration and you destroy the harmony. So with life: it consists of certain relationships and certain ratios; re arrange or alter these out of accord with the unity with which life is supposed to be lived, and you produce divided loyalties, fear, despair, ultimate defeat. That many people have done this, is evidenced by hundreds of suicides, an untold number of broken I homes, and thousands of persons with symptoms of nervous dis order. Jesus declared that there is only one way in which life can be brought into such a desirable state ... it must be subjected in faith to the will of God. And right here is the explanation of his own amazing life. Because he had such a positive faith in God, he trusted supremely the life God had given him. To him it was a divine gift to be used for his Father's glory; so, instead of trying to squeeze it dry. he filled it up and handed it back to God as a tribute to him. Life did to him everything it ever did to any man. It im posed burdens upon him. It came crashing down over his head. It developed storms and tempests. It revealed itself at times , as seamy and bitter; it surrounded him with the ungrateful, the callous, the careless, and the contentious. It confronted' him with difficulties and proposed questions he could not answer. But the amazing thing about Jesus, was not what life did to him, but what he did to life. No wonder one of his followers could say with confidence: "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." Any person who will follow his example, adopt his attitudes, and live in. his confidence, will experience the power he enjoyed. For, life's battles are fought from within, life's defeats are suf . fared and life's victoqlo* are won in ttw lluaiaw breast. Whether it will be defeat or tictory will be determined by how well we have mastered ourselves, and how well we master ourselves will be determined by how well we have been mastered by Some thing Else ? a great faith in God. T. R. Jenkins, Minister, Ann Street Methodist Church, ? Beaufort, N. C. THE WORLD S MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE "... he opened ta as the scripture*." Luke 14:32. (Read Luke 24-27-35.) We are in the habit of relating the experience of the Emmaus Road merely to the resurrection of Christ. As we read the Scripture, we notice that the companions of Jesus on that road remembered Him as He talked with them by the way and while He opened to them the Scriptures. The Scriptures are still the world's best seller. The Holy Bi ble outsells all other books, gen eration in and generation out. But it is only as we engage daily in the habit of reading the Bible that It can open to us the great re sources of Christian faith and power. For all followers of the way, Christ opens the Scriptures. Only as we read the truths there in and relate them to our daily lives can this eternal Word be a light unto our path. PRAYER O God, we are grateful for Thy Wora as revealed to proph et* and scribes of old. Enable us to see Thee as Thou hast been revealed yet more fully in the New Testament Scriptures. Widen for us the horizons of Christian living through our fel lowship wtih Thy Son, our Saviour, la whose name we pray. Amen. Thought For The Day The Word of God is my bright light; my spirit's daily bread. Hoover Rupert (Kansas) ? Persecution Activated Growth of Christianity STUDY FOR JANUARY 22, 1950 By Wm. Southern, Jr. According to Dr. Luke's account as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles, men and women in large numbers joined the Christians, following Pentecost when from a mere 120 the membership grew to more than three thousand. The High Priests and those leaders who thought with the death of Jesus this cult would wither and die, began to be alarmed. Under the leadership of Peter and John who worked as a team and visited the temple daily the number of the Christians rose to about 5,000. One day as Peter and John made their accustomed visit to the temple a paralyzed beggar appealed to them, expecting a few pence, or at most a piece of silver. This was a man about forty years old who had never been able to use his arms or legs in his whole life. Peter and John stopped by his side and Peter told the man that he had no money but such as he had would he give and with those words he told the cripple to get up and walk in the namr of Jesus of Nazareth. The man at first whined and said he had never walked in his life and Peter stern ly told him to try. This was ac cording to the Christian theory which applies to this day, and those who receive the help of God must do their part. The man felt life returning to his withered arms and legs, tried to get up and did and then scampered along with the Apostles to show everybody what had happened to him. This miracle caused a lot of comment and alarmed the High Priests. They arrested Peter and John and under the advice of Gamaliel turned them loose tell ing them not to preach or use the name of Jesus. The apostles went ahead, were arrested and locked up and found that bars for them did not a prison make. The group of Christians was be coming so large that the Apostles found they must have a better or ganization. They met in solemn assembly and appointed seven Deacons to attend to the detail work. Dr. Luke names them as Stephen, Philip, Prochorus, Nicka nor, Timon, Parmenas and Liko las. .The record does not Jell us much about any of these assist ants,' except Stephen and Philip. Stephen became the first Chris tian Martyr and Philip became a missionary and evangelist, con verting the Ethiopian Eunuch and thus carrying Christianity to Ethi opia. Stephen became a powerful leader. Sholem Asch in his story of Paul, says that Stephen was a big man with a red beard which covered his breast and was red headed. The story as told by Asch is dra matic Aid fascinating. Saul, a young man for Tarsus steeped in all the traditions of the Jews was intended to be edu cated as a Rabbi and was then in the great theological school at Jerusalem, studying under Gama liel. Saul was very earnest and deemed it his duty to smash this growing sect which was teaching heterodox theories, contrary to what he believed. Sholem Asch credits Saul with the arrest and killing of Stephen, and this may well have been, but Dr. Luke men tions Paul only as a guardian of the clothes which Stephen wore and of which he was stripped when he was stoned to death. Saul wit nessed the stoning. Then Saul ran wild in persecut ing the Christians, arresting them wholesale throwing them into prison, until Jerusalem became a? dangerous place for Christians, and then the Apostles began to scatter and to carry the Christiani ty to every known community and especially to the Greeks. The story in the Acts of Saul's conversation as he was on the way to Damascus would indicate that OVER 1000 Watti WMBL 740 On Your Dial "MORNING DEVOTION" SPONSORED BY The Carteret County Ministerial Association 9:30 MORNINGS - MONDAY THRU SATURDAY Jan. 20, 21 ?

Jenkins this was a sudden conversion, through the appearance of Jesus, you all have read this story. I do not think this was true. I think that from the time Saul saw the stoning of Stephen and heard that first martyr die with a prayer on his lips that his killers be for given, this picture was never out of his mind for a moment. I think he could not sleep for thinking about Stephen and wondering if it were possible the martyr was right and he, Saul, could be wrong. These thoughts drove Saul to the extremes and, student that he was, to the study of the life of Jesus. So that when Jesus appeared to him on the Damascus Road he was ready to give up and did give up and became the greatest and most effective Apostle of Christianity.
