A slight rise in prices every few days doesn’t seem so bad until (re come at last to find that in flated value ultimately means no value at all. The danger of in flation are present in things other than economics words, for in stance. In order to be polite or flat tering we often bring out our finest superlatives. A very ordi nary hat may become “the most beautiful hat ever made”. Each new motion picture becomes the most spectacular and thrilling picture ever filmed. The same art icles in new packages become bits of perfection according to the ad vertizers in press and radio. These inflated claims and slogans use up very quickly our best words until O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy councils of old are faithfulness and truth. Isaiah 25:1 they become of no value. Love is a word that has suffered from inflation. We use the word quite loosely to refer to a variety of experiences. We love some 'kinds of foods or games or books. A momentary infatuation between two people is called love; and this calls for more extreme words. After using the word for these lesser things we discover the love of parent for child and husband and wife and our means of ex pression for such beauty and holi ness have been used up on lesser things. Then when we find the richness and supreme value of [ God, our words have been so mis used and inflated that we are powerless to express our deepest feelings and greatest faith. Words, as expressions of the mind and emotions, are pearls of greatest value; but they must be used wisely and at the proper times. Their inflated value, as in economics, soon means no value at all.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that be lieveth, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. I would like to tell you a story that might illustrate this point. When Dr. John W. Brcdus was just a mere boy he accepted Christ as his savior. His young heart and life was moved with a compassionate love for those that were lost in sin. There lived in his town a thin, tall, hungry eyed fellow named Tom. Tom was not a Christian. His mental capac ity did not in any way measure up to his age. One day John went to see Tom to ask him about his souls salvation. Tom had a nick name throughout the community as Old Half Wit Tom. Little John looking up into the face of this raw boned lanky half wit Tom, said, Tom, the Lord has saved me He means so much to me. He has brought joy to my heart. I wish you too would accept Christ. Tom I am not ashamed of you if you will go to church I’ll go with you. The next Sunday Half Wit Tom and little John walked side by side down the street to the little church that had meant so much to this young boy. They sat down on the back seat and as the min ister poured out his heart to those that were lost to accept Jesus little John was praying all the time that Tom might take Christ as his savior. When the invitation was given John looked up into the face of his friend and said, Tom, if you will go and accept Jesus tonight I’ll walk down the isle with you and down the isle they both went and there on their knees in front of the church little John saw Tom as he arose from his knees with a smile on his face that shone like that of an angel as he said, I do accept Christ. As they walked home from the church and reached the place where Tom was to go to his own home, Tom stuck out that big, bony hand of his and caught John’s hand and said, you are the first one that PRAYER FOR THE WEEK (It is suggested that you tear this prayer out and place it at yom table to be used as a basis for family devotions each morning 0 f tie week.) ,0 God, make us worthy of the wisdom that has come to us through the struggles and work of those who have lived before us. Give u 3 hope and faith in the days that are ahead. Guide us today that we may serve this day worthily, in keeping with the progress of the ages and the hope for the future. In Jesus’ name. Amen. ever told me about Jesus. Thank you John, good night, John. When Dr. Brodus was an old man he was speaking to the Southern Baptist Convention in Atlanta, Ga., he told this experi ence that he had in winning Half Wit Tom. As he looked into that great congregation, he said to them as the tears trickled down his cheeks brothern, it will not be long before I leave this world. When I get to Heaven the first thing I want to do is to fall at the feet of Jesus and thank him for what he has done for me, then I want to look up Old Half Wit Tom, I want to hear him say thank you John, for telling me about Jesus.
