JUNALUSKA SERIES FINANCING the FAITH TOPIC OF OPENING ADDRESS at CENTER 0 Under the general theme, “Fi nancing The Faith,” Dr. John M. Versteeg, of Lima, Ohio, noted Methodist churchman, author and hymn writer, delivered the first of a series of five addresses from the Lake Junaluska assembly pul pit, last Sunday evening. The Versteeg lecture series will be directed toward phases of Christian stewardship and religious life. His opening sermon on the, “ To Celebrate Our God” centered about the elements and purposes of prayer as an adjunct to Christ, ian living. All prayers are answered de clared the speaker. “Sometimes the answer is ‘yes’ sometimes it is ‘No’ and often it is ‘Wait’. The primary conception of stewardship is not to support the church or organize a new social order. It is to glorify God. We do not only ask in prayer, but we affirm. There is a sense in which we are supernatural when we assert that we belong to a spiritual order and we are to af firm God’s spiritual power. We need to actualize our pray ers to hurl lives after our prayers. Stewardship is praying done with living and the pocket book and the check book enter into it. Finally our prayers must show appreciation. We think enough but we do not thank enough. The be ginning of all prayer and the end of all prayer is to celebrate our God and to glorify His purpose in the world. New Linotype Operator . .Coming To The News ' O James S.

Many Veterans Making Their Own Adjustments o An unemployed veteran, after he has sought work through his local Employment Service office, is often his own best employment agent, Chairman Kendall said, urging those claiming readjust ment allowances for unemployment to engage in a diligent search for jobs. Many unemployed veterans are not waiting for jobs, but are start ing out on their own by setting up some small industry, business or service which they or a small group can handle, and thus create jcjbs, not only for themselves, but also small numbers of their buddies. Veterans who have developed new skills whilein military service, or who had been at work for others before entering the service, often can convince friends in their own communities that they are equal to handling a small activity and thus receive financial aid in securing needed equipment, supplies or tools for launching their own careers. Very many of the thousands of jobs that were open a year ago have been filled by workers re leased from the service and now veterans do not have the choice of employment which was available to them then, Chairman Kendall points out. The veteran who unnecessasily delays his own readjustment to civilian occupation does himself an injustice, since by such delay he may allow a job to be filled or a small industry to be started into which he could have fitted himself, said Chairman Kendall. Families, friends and home corn service to the great group of young veterans who have had no previous civilian occupations or experience in job hunting. Home folks who are experienced in various types of employment can help thousands of these young veterans, either in helping them to find jobs that already exist or in advising and aiding them in developing jobs through starting some small ac tivity which may grow into a com munity, a state or a national asset, said Chairman Kendall. .

Youth Session In Junaluska To Open To-Day 0 With the approach of new church-sponsored gatherings, many new persons are arriving on the grounds for committee meetings and for the approaching Young People’s Leadership School, July 18-30. In addition to the constantly changing crowd here for special committee meetings and larger groups vacationists from warmer sections of the country are arriv ing in numbers. Dr. Versteeg in his address, said, “Stewardship makes the most of the best and the best of the most. Faith is dear to God and our faith is kept steady through Jesus. Faith has to be made flesh. For long it was made theology. In a world that has been so much that was faithless, money must keep faith with all that Christ revealed of God. In our world, in which so much and so many have been hopeless, hope must be made flesh. Hope is higher than history and economics must say: Hope thou in Giod. Through and in the church there must be hope for those who are now without God and hope in the world. God pays dearly to keep hope alive and through Jesus we can bring God’s hope for a decent world to reality. We are meant for hope and everything that exists is designed to help men hope in God. Love must be made flesh. It is hard to prove that God is when there is little proof that love is. Love must make our means as veil as our ends considerate, under standing, and full of good will.
