Community Project
Do people living in the
thousands of small towns
across the country have any
control over the future of
their way of life a way
that has been the backbone
of the nation throughout its
history?
Can citizens of these small
cities and towns take
advantage of modern
science and technology to
plan for their future?
The belief they can is
behind an ambitious
Bicentennial project called
"Century 3 Communities
Program." The program
has been granted national
recognition by the American
Revolution Bicentennial
Administration.
C3CP, for short, will help
communities design and
build a "Community Early
Warning System" to set
long-term goals and build
consensus around them. The
programs will be backed by
some of the technology and
decision making tools
' developed by big
government and business
since World War II.
The tools range from a
new kind of. card file to a
computer, and from a
'community fair to cable
television. Different
approaches will be Used in
different communities
according to their needs and
resources.
Developed by The
Institute, a non-profit
organization with
headquarters in Dickerson,
Md., C3CP will involve 13
specific towns across the
country during the
Bicentennial era. Programs
and procedures developed
and proven in the original 13
communities will be
available to any other
interested locality.
What will participation in
the program bring a
community?
First, the C3CP staff will
supply guidelines ' and
technical assistance in
designing the early warning
system.
Second, the program will
maintain experienced
consultants on call for social
problems.
Third, for communities
that wish to , adapt
computers and .. other
sophisticated technology1 to
their own uses, the staff will
help write and circulate
proposals for funding from
other sources; ' i
Communities will have to
fund their own activities but
will pay no money to the
program's staff. .
The 13 communities , of
less than 25,000 people will
be selected by early 1976 and
will officially kick off their
local programs with
community fairs July 4,
1976. The Institute will
continue assisting in the
efforts over a three-year
period, at which ' time a
community can choose to
keep going on its own or not.
The Institute was founded
in late 1971 to develop and
disseminate practical
techniques ' for small
communities, small
businesses, individuals and
various organizations to
help cope with social and
technological change.
The first stage of C3CP
was funded by the
Bicentennial Council of the
Thirteen Original States, the
Franklin Mint Corporation,
and the National Science
Foundation. The Institute is
actively seeking additional
funding to help carry out the
remainder"of the program.
Communities interested in
participating in the
program or wanting

Sunday School Lesson
A BETTER WAY .
(Matthew 5:38-48)
One writer has once said that "our principles are the
spring of -our actions; our actions, the spring of our
happiness or misery. Too much care, therefore, cannot be
taken In forming our principles."
Another said it is "better to be poisoned in one's blood,
than to be poisoned in one's principles."
The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of rules and
regulations. Jesus laid down principles which govern the
character and conduct of the Kingdom citizen.. ' '
It must be born in mind that the Sermon on the Mount was
primarily for the citizen of the Kingdom of God. It was not
given as a way into the Kingdom of God. It was not given as
a way into the Kingdom, but to declare the nature,
character, and conduct of one already in!
1 ENCOUNTERING EVIL
(MATT. 38:42)
Evil is as much a reality in the world as light and
darkness. Every man encounters evil. It will be brought
into clear focus to the person who seeks to live out the
principles laid down by Jesus Christ.
The ancient had their way of dealing with harm done to
another. It was the law of "eye for eye and tooth for tooth."
Jesus declared there was a better way. Jesus taught that
one should not resist with evil. To resist with evil is to
ursurp a right which belongs only to God. The positive side
of His teaching was to turn the other cheek; give His cloak
also; go with Him two miles. The Christian can afford to
leave the outcome in God's hands. When the Christian
doesn't strike back, he enables the Father to work through
his attitudes and act of submission. God often brings evil
men to see themselves as they really are.
EMPLOYING EXAMPLE
(MATT. 5:43-47)
The Old Testament never taught hatred for one's ene
mies, but many of. the teachers taught this to the people.
Again, Jesus offers a better way. Citizens of God's
Kingdom must love their enemies, "bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that
Special Program
despitefully use you." This action must grow out of the fact
that they were God's children. God's children must act like
their Father. "Like father, like son," is essential in the
spiritual relationship. 1
All men are God's creation and He does not love some .
above others. He sends the sunshine and the rain on both the
good and the bad. We must love and pray for all men,
because "God so loved the world that He gave his only
begotten son (John 3:16A).
.'' Such example would show the world that God is your
Father. Those outside the Kingdom will be drawn by such
example. They will see that your s is not a selflsn love, mil a
self-giving love.
EMULATING EXCELLENCE
(MATT. 5:48)
This single verse has troubled man. What did Jesus mean
by his use of the word "perfect?" Does this mean sinless
affection? It is surely true that Our Lord does not want
anyone to sin at all. The word has been given various
translations such as mature, complete, sinless, and others.
The term "wholeness" is an accurate translation for this
word. David was a man after God's own heart, yet David
wasn't perfect in the sense of being without sin. But David's
heart was undivided. It was characterized by wholeness.
This is demonstrated by his genuine repentence following
his acts of sin.
Even in moral and ethical conduct, God's goal is
perfection, but only God is really perfect.
BIBLE QUESTION OF
THE WEEK
Are there any conditions which must yet be fulfilled
before Christ returns?
ANSWER:
"Jesus taught in Matt. 24:42 that we should "Watch
therefore; for you know not what hour your Lord doth
come." The Bible teaches that Jesus could come today.
Only God knows the hour.
