Daisy Lane For Your Information? I Dear friend!, The funeral is a rite of separation. It confirms the reality of death. This, psy chiatrists say, is a necessary beginning toward healthy adjustment to loss. There are some who want to deny that a person has died and their life on earth has ended. Viewing the body serves to reverse the denial and promotes ac ceptance of the death of the loved one. Respectfully, SWINDELL FUNERAL HOME L:.?. ^ HftT^OtO. NC THE ALBEMARLE EYE CARE CENTER, LTD.

GOD'S ACTION IN HISTORY According to Psalm 105, the mere remembrance of the past, during which God had lavished His love upon His peo ple, demonstrated His Soodness and graciousness to them and His mercy upon them, constituted a challenge and a summons to thanksgiving and praise. Psalm 105: 1-11 The Psalmist called upon his people to rejoice in, praise, worship, and glorify God Who had so marvelously directed and blessed their nation. He urged the recipients of the divine mercy and blessings to "give thanks unto the Lord" for His numerous, gracious, and mighty deeds, to "call upon his name" in earnest prayer, and to proclaim "his deeds among the people." They were called to male known God's message through singing and speaking. Instead of claiming credit or boasting of their achievements, they were admonished to glory in the Lord and to praise Him for what He had done in and through them. In his effort to get the people to trust God more completely as they faced the unknown future, the Psalmist reminded his readers of their obligation to recall with gratitude and praise the divine wonders which had been performed in their behalf. Speaking of God in a national and possessive sense, the Psalmist remarked, "He is the Lord our God." Jehovah stood in a peculiar relationship to the Israelites because they were the people of His own choosing. He chose them to be the channel through which His blessings might flow to all mankind. God blessed them in a remarkable way in order that through them He might bless the various other peoples. The fact that God chose the Israelites as a channel of blessing was not due to any merits of their own, but en tirely to His own marvelous grace. Neither is our salvation due to any merits of our own, but it is the result of His matchless grace. The Psalmist counted it a glorious privilege to bear testimony to the faithfulness of God in keeping His covenant with Abraham, his descendants, and the Israelites. In His covenant with Abraham, God assured him that He would be his God, that He would bless him, and that through the Messiah, Who would descend from him, all the nations of the earth would be blessed. To Isaac and to Jacob this covenant was renewed and confirmed. It is so encouraging and strengthening to know that God has never broken a covenant, and that He never will do so. In the covenant which God made with Abraham, Israel held the deed to Canaan. Psalm 105:43-45 Instead of mentioning the weaknesses of the people, which were so numerous and so obvious, the Psalmist por trayed the faithfulness of God. It was far better to magnify the goodness of God than it would have been to have stressed the faithfulness of the people. God's faithfulness to the Israelites should have served an as incentive to their obedience to Him. The God, Who delivered the Israelites in such a remarkable manner, is vitally concerned about our daily needs, and continues to supply them. In grace and love God gives us glorious privileges and tremendous respon sibilities, and then imparts to us the strength which we need for making the most of them. God cared for His people and brought them safely into the place where He wanted them in order that through them He might show to those of other nations what He could and would do with those who were yielded and obe dient to Him. God wants all whom He delivers, protects, sustains, and directs to let Him exhibit what He ca can ac complish for others through them . In view of God's care for us, as demonstrated by the multiplicity of His daily bless ings upon us, It is incumbent upon us that we praise Him for His redemption of us, and l!is deliverance of us from the bondage of sin into His marvelous light, life, liberty, and love. Let us heed the timely admonition of the Psalmist: "Praise ye the Lord." + + + The Sunday School Lesson is sent in each week by Clear Creek Baptist School in Pineville, Ky.
