Nothing comes down, everything goes up--up--up. Wages too are going up, but not as fast as the cost of living, for our dollars are deceasing in value all the time. That’s why form er President Elsenhower sug gested vc- begin callLng them doliarettes. We should thank God, though, that there is one thing that has never gone up in price-- the salvation of our souls. No price was ever put on this and none will be. for several good rea son: 1). Because God is not impoverished, that He needs our money. 2). Because if srd vation could be bought, the rich would have an advantage over the poor. 3). Salvation was fully paid for by God the Son on Calvary’s cross, and to charge one penny for it now would be to cast reflections on His fin ished work. Even in Old Testament times God made it clear that sacri fices and good works could “Judge not, that ye be not judged.’ -- Matt. 7:1 It has been said that crit icism is the commonest of human failings. Certainly we must agree that it is a habit which contributes nothing of happiness to anyone. Nothing seems to escape a critic’s sharp tongue, from the way world af fairs are conducted to the man ner in which his food is cook ed. The habitual critic is some times prone to defend himself with the argument that life would be very dull and uninteresting if we were to label everything perfect, or even just good. One good rebuttal to that argument is that there is small similari ty between criticism and dis crimination. The. principal difference is the quality of LOVE. The dis criminating person judge an other person, a situation, or even Ms food, with kindness and consideration, and never Church Chuckles by CARTWRIGHT (S€**».CMsrw a s 2. ‘"Er, I gtivsi yms weuMnft Wbv» if, if 8 f®W y«w w® w«r« w* s*#r ways« not buy His favor. In Isa, ZZ: 1-3, the prophet cried: “Ho, every one that thlrsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which satisfleth not? Hearken diligently unto Me, and eat that which is good, and let your sou) delight itself in fat ness, Incline your ear, and come unto Me: Hear, and your soul shall live..? Years later, after "the gospel of the grace of God” had been committed to Paul, he declar ed that believers are: “Justified freely by God’s grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:24). “For the wages of sin is death, but the (free) gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord’' (Rom. 6:23). “In whom we have re demption, through His blood, the forgiveness of sins ac cording to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7). MEDITATION A SERMONETTE BY COI.IN DOUGLAS with ill-humor. Like Emer son, he perceives that “out of very defects are shadows of our virtues.” Even •‘just crit icism” is a well-meant but unenlightened attempt to straight out something that more often than not is not fully understood. One of the best habit s to ac quire the one of blessing everybody and everything. Bless not only yourself, but your environment. Bless your dwelling place, tie it large or be it small. Bless those who snare it with you, be they fami ly, friends, or strangers. Walk hand in hand with God through out every day, and in the shin ing light of His presence you can meet life victoriously and joyously. You will see every thing through His eyes... svery ‘ thing Good, everything Loving, everything Perfect. “In Him we live, and move, and have our being.” -Acts. 18:28. and I RACE I BY NEGRO PRESS INTERNA TIONAL WORTH SOMETHING FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - A group of South Central United Methodist Jurisdiction social concern, health and welfare leaders were told last week, "If the Black power movement accomplishes nothing else, it has dispelled the notion among white people that Black people are satisfied with their second class citizenship."
