And if all His good works could not avail to erase even one sin irom the Mack record of human behavior, how utterly preposterous for the sinner to hope to erase or cancel his sins by his own “goodworks”■ Thus, in contrast, the Bible presents Christ's death as the pi ice of our redemption; . .Wo have redemption through His blood, the forgive ness of sins, according to the riches of Ills grace “ (Ephesi ans t;7). “Being justified freely by (God’s) grace, through the re demption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24). empowerment.” Dr. Gibson came to the Joint Commission from the district superintendency of the Chicago Western United Methodist Dis trict, and he continues as a min isterial member of the Northern Illinois United Methodist Con ference.

MEDITATION A SERMONETTE BY COLIN DOUGLAS “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.” Psalms 23:2. Sometimes it seems to some of us that our lives have be come barren, that everything lacks purpose and meaning. Whenever we feel this way, we need to open our minds and hearts to new ideas and thoughts about life. We need to be willing to be led out of old, worn-out ways of thinking and acting, and into new, fresh, vital living. . .a new attitude. We may think that there is nothing of interest ahead of us, but this is not true. “Green pastures” await us, ..thenew, the delightful, the unexpected, are on our pathways. But we must first of all have complete and unwavering faith in the one Father, and in His goodness. We must have complete faith in the renewing quality of His love, wisdom and power. Faith can move mountains, and in deed that is true when our faith is centered in God, the source of all good. The Lord Is our shepherd, and most surely we can trust Him to guide us, to protect us, and to bless our lives with rich, new, wonderful opportunities for fulfillment. Regardless of how great the demands that are made upon us, we never have tc meet the experiences of life alone. There is One who is ever w ith us, One who understands our hearts, One who quiets our fears, One who is our compan ion every step of the way. As you go ahead with the tasks that are a part of your daily life, take the attitude of rest ing in God's love. It will com fort you to see how effortless ly then everything is accom plished and the order with which your mind functions. You will feel the loving prompt lugs of God's spirit. You will be shown the way out of grief, disappointment, desperation, and confusion. Peace will come as you allow your heart to be led by the promptings of God's spirit within and about you. “Thou makest him to have dominion,’' Psalms 8:6. * * * The Boy Scouts of America have lieen awarded $700,000 by the Labor Department's Man power Administration to train 200 disadvantaged people as Scout officials to work with Scout troops In economically depressed areas.
