Send News for the March Issue to Personnel Office before March 14. Devotional Thoughts Have you ever seen a movie with a scene in it like this one I saw when I was a child? There was a riot in progress which had been started by the comedian who was the star of the show. The police had come to break it up, and in the confusion, the comedian was trying to tip-toe silently away, until spotted by the big bull-necked Irish police man who looked, then roared at the hero's retreating back “Hey you ...” I remember how the comedian jumped as if shot, stop ping in mid-step. Then, he meek ly turned, and with as innocent a look as possible, he squeaked, “Who? Me?” To which the cop roared back at him, “Yes, you.” To me, that has always been a bit like the situation that all of us are in where our relation ships to God are concerned. Sometimes, whether we are Chris tians or not, we do things of which we are a little ashamed. When we do, whether it is a lit tle thing or a big one, we some times get to wondering what God will think about it all. In such moments we often look within our minds for some way out, and we start mentally tip-toeing to ward some way of escape. That is when God is like that police man (except that he doesn’t roar at us) for then we suddenly real ize that there seems to be a still small voice speaking and saying “Hey you ...” And in our conscience we hear that voice and try to act as if we had done nothing wrong, and we say to ourselves, “Who? Me?” We may know that we aren’t going to convice God, but we try to quiet our own conscience by act ing as if someone else must be to blame. That’s when we hear Btrtbs Joseph Freeman Flowers, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F. Flow ers announce the birth of a son, Joseph, Jr., born January 19, at Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Flow ers is the former Myrtle Speight, third shift weaver at the Wilson Division. George Travis Baker Mr. and Mrs. George Baker an nounce the birth of a son, George Travis, born February 4. George is a first shift employee of the Wilson Division. David Christopher Gurganus Mr. and Mrs. James Thomas Gurganus announce the birth of a son, David Christopher, born January 2, at Rocky Mount San- atarium. Philip Gerald Denton Mr. and Mrs. Hubert M. Den ton, Jr., announce the birth of a son, Philip Gerald, born February 4, at Park View Hospital. Hubert is an employee of the Caromount Final Inspection Department. Cheryl Denise Parker Mr. and Mrs. John Parker an nounce the birth of a daughter, Cheryl Denise, born February 4, at Memorial Hospital. John is an employee of the Caromount Mending Department and Mrs. Parker (Peggy) is a former em ployee of that department. Cheryl Elizabeth Ferrell Mr. and Mrs. Rastie Ferrell announce the birth of a daughter, Cheryl Elizabeth, born February 6, at Carolina General Hospital. Rastie is a third shift employee of the Wilson Division. Mrs. Fer rell is a former Wilson employee. that voice coming right back, refusing to let us dodge, and say ing so that we can’t mistake it, “Yes, you!” Of course, it inay be that we act like that not just Avhen we have done something wrong, but when we get the feeling that God may be telling us to do some thing for Him. At such times, even the best of us may turn around and try to think of some way of escape, acting as if God could not have meant us at all. Then God is liable to say, “Yes, 1 mean you” All of us need to know more about what the I’salmist meant when he said that there was no place to flee from God’s presence. We need to realize that God is with us in this moment, whether we have realized it or not, or whether we like it or not. We need to stop kidding ourselves, and trying to dodge Him. We need to learn how to live with God; we can’t hide from Him. Joe Brooks, Pastor Edgemont Presbyterian Church Rocky Mount, N. C.
