// Occurs To Me
■'It I-• ur to me” that many of you will never read
this thouKot, but riuiybe in Mune way it will gel around
to tho»«* who hiivc never i:;vfn miy ttiou((ht to the sub
ject.
Along the ruadii now one can see signs referring to
death. There is one which has "Danger as its heaumg,
with a skull and a cr‘- sbone under it. Directly below
that It says, ‘'Death is sf> permanent. ' In connection with
this there is a ver'“ in Job, Hth chapter. It states that
"it a man die, shall he live again?".
If a man has lived hi£ entire lile thinking only of him-
sell, never thmking ol the other person never thinking
about the Will ot liod and itr. relationship to mankind,
never thinking about Love, Kindness, and b'riendliness
lor those who were arouna, to him spiritual death will
be permanent. Hut a man, who has lived his complete
lile lor others:, thinkini. ol wliat he could do to make
somebody else happy and comlortable and who was tired
to lullill the word:: of the Holy Scripture and the WiU of
Cfod in a hope to receive the promises of God around
the bend in the river, will die on earth, but he will live
again. Jesus told us that our Father in Heaven was the
Uod of the living and not of the dead.
There are on cumpu.-s veterans of the last war. Some
of them .saw action on the battle fields of the world. Of
those few, many saw death. At the same time they were
nearer to God than they ever were before. They might
not have thought that, but if they will think, they will
agree. There on the battle fields they saw men who
loved life give it up for us to live.
Below IS a poem written by one of the many who
gave their lives for a worthy cause. It expresses the
leelings of those who had never met God before. The
poem goes like thl:.
Look, God, I have never spoken to You,
Hut now 1 want to, ..ly. How do you do.
You sec, God, they told me You didn't exist.
And bke a fool 1 believed all this.
Last night from a hell - hole I saw Your sky,
I figured right then they had told me a lie.
Had 1 taken time to see the things You made.
I'd have known they weren't calling a spade a spade.
I wonder, God, if You'd shake my hand,
Somehow, I feel that You will understand.
Funny, I had to ' i>me to this hellish place.
Before 1 had time to see Your face.
Well, I guess there i.sn't much more to say.
But I'm sure -jlad, God, I met You today.
I guess the “Zero Hour" will soon be here,
But I'm not alraid since I know You're near.
The Signal! Well, God, I'll have to go.
I like You lutb, this 1 want You to know.
Look now, this will be a horrible fight,
Who knows, I may come to Your House tonight.
Though I wasn't friendly to You before,
I wonder. God, if You'd wait at Your Door.
Look, I'm cryingl Me! Sheddmg tears!
I wish I had known You these many years.
Well, I have to go now, God, goodbye!
Strange, ^iince I met You, I'm not afraid to die.
"It occurs to me" that after you have read the poem

Let Serve Through CSC
The Christian Scrvice Club has always hit the rocks.
For the past several meetings there have been not more
than ten faithful members attending, and among those
ten were three or four new members. What is a club
without members? And what is a club that has mem
bers who aren't active?
The purpose of this club is to serve God. The number
of persons attending the CSC and the amount of serv;ce
being done at the present time indicate that the percen
tage of persons enrolled at Atlantic Christian College
who desire to serve their Master through such an organi
zation in very low. Why do we not participate in such a
club, the only club on the campus whose main objective
IS service'’ Is it because we think that the club has noth
ing to offer us? Or do we think that we have nothing
to offer the club? “Yes" to either question is no excuse
for us as members of the student body of a Christian
college. We, as upholders of the name of our college,
learn to serve by serving.
The students who are Religious majors and are pre
paring themselves for fulltime Christian service number
aproximately fifty. If these students alone would make
themselves known to this service club and set an ex
ample for others to follow, the results would prove that
the club is worthwhile.
The Christian Service Club can and will be the club
which accomplishes most and serves best if we who be
lieve in serving for Christ will come to the meetings with
the determination tQ put our best foot forward and real
ly work. As Longfellow has said.
Let us then be up and doing.

When we all start complaining
about first one thing and then
another, I think of a clipping I
have from a magazine. It reads:
"In a free country there i s
much complaint but little suf
fering — In a despotism, much
suffering but little complaint."
I'm as guilty as the next one
for complaining about trivial
things. Why can’t we learn to
take the bitter with a grain of
salt? We can't appreciate what
we have so we compalin about
it. I guess we need a campaign
with its slogan being, "Criticize
Yourself Before The Other
Man." Why not let's try it;
