HARMONIOUS LIVING
International Sunday School
Laison for Saptambar 14. H47
GOLDEN TEXT: "Blessed are the
peacemakers; for they shall be
called the sons of God." ? Mat
thew 5: 9.
Recognizing the truth of the
statement tnat "no man liveth
unto himself," it is certainly the
part of wisdom that an indivi
dual practice the art of living
harmoniously with his family,
with his neighbors and, with the
members of society as a whole.
The Bible certainly teaches the
value of harmonious living and
Christians, of all the people in
the world, should be persons of
good will toward everyone.
The Old Testament gives num
erous examples of men's deal
ings with each other as lessons
in getting along. The case of
Abraham's dealing with his
nephew. Lot, is one of the best.
Our references from Proverbs
also suggests the importance of
harmononious living. Some of the
Proverbs warn against the harm
of evil practices, while others
give an appraisal of the value of
pleasant relations.
Most trouble starts from a lit
tle thing. We know that wars
have btfen started by small
events in insolated parts of the
world. As fuel was added to the
fire and friends and foes took
sides, the trouble grew until mil
lions were involved. Often, the
greedy, ambitious spirit of one
man can cause suffering and dis
tress to millions of people.
Understanding this, Solomon
used a striking illustration that
can be understood by the simp
lest mind. Fires simmer and dLie
when no fuel is added to them.
The more fuel added, the larger
the fire, until, sometimes, the
fire gets out of control and burns
more than was inrended. That is
the way with strife. Often one
person can keep a quarrel alive
when many others would like to
see it die. The best way to con
quer big troubles is to destroy
them while they are still small.
Gossip is one of the chief
means of increasing trouble.
Harsh words, spoken in anger,
can damage relations r.iore quick
ly than probably anything else.
The Bible warns against both
gossip and harsh words. Solomon
declares, "A soft answer turneth
away wrath; but a grievous word
stirreth up anger." A "soft
answer" is not necessarily a
meek one, but it may be a graci
ous one. Dr. Watkinson reminds
us that "Many words that are not
wrathful, not malicious, not ex
actly offensive, are, nevertheless,
trying. They are pin-pricks that
are difficult to define, but often
hard to bear."

We think the modern press to
day is guilty of, consciously or
unconsciously, stirring up strife
among races, among peoples and
among nations. . In their eager
ness to have something to print,
they keep disagreements and
difficulties headlined which, if
not given so much publicity,
would solve themselves or would
be more easily solved through
mediation.
Self-control is an absolute ne
cessity, if one would get along
with others. This is true of rela
tions with members of the family
and with every other phase of
society. There are many who
seem to "carry a chip on their
shoulder" and who go around ex
pecting someone to knock it off.
It is natural and proper to show
indignation, at times, but even
then, if self control is retained,
the situation will more than like- ,
ly take care of itself.
While Jesus himself showed
indignation, he never lost con- '
trol of himself. He knew how to
resist evil, but he always left the
way open for fellowship and as- '
sociation with the sinner. Jesus
taught and practiced humility and
self-effacement, yet he was al- ,
ways the master of situations.
Through kindness and service, he j
won people to himself.
Everyone needs friends and no
one is so miserable as he who I
has no friends. Solomon declares i
that "a man that hath friends
must shew himself friendly." A
cold, critical, selfish person finds ,
it hard to gain friends and al- '
most impossible to keep them. I
One w{io is always looking out !
for himself will soon have only -
himself to look out for.
Jesus declared that we should ]
"love our neighbors" as ourselves. ?
John Hay declared: "The applica- ,
tion of the rule to love your
neighbor as yourself is the only '
way for people and nations to get 1
along with each other." (

He then gave a detailed dis
cission of the State's ' new laws

before the program reaches its

JOHN E. LA WHENCE
IN REMEMBRANCE OF MR.
JOHN E. LAWRENCE
John E. Lawrence was born at
Mabel, N. C.. March 3. 1874, died Aug
23. 1947. age 73 years, 5 months and
23 days.
God through His infinite wisdom
deemed it best to call another of His
loved ones home. Funeral services
were conducted Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock from the Trade Methodist
Church, with Rev. Jones of Creston.
N. C., In charge. Music was by Jim
Burkett and choir from Union Church
with Geo. Jenkins as pianist. Inter
ment was in the Trade cemetery.
The large throng of people who
fathered for the funeral and the love
y floral tributes spoke more than
words of the high esteem in which
Uncle John was held by all who knew
him.
For the past year he had to fight
against poor health. He kept up nls
courage and was hopeful until the
end. always planning for his future
work and viling a true, honest. Chri5
tian life as he went along through
life. Uncle John was a friend to all
and was never too busy or to tired to
lend a helping hand for any one that
was sick, and was always willing to
help people who were in need of help.
Uncle John was loved by all who
knew him, for his religion was lived
each day. He always attended church
and was a faithful member. He will
be missed in church especially in Sun
day school, for he was a teacher at
the time of his death. Uncle John
always trlpd to look on the bright side
of life. He was a man of fine per
sonality. He was a farmer and a
good, upright citizen. We'll all miss
him very much in our community,
but hope to meet him some day up
yonder in that beautiful home God
has prepared for us.
Uncle John was a pleaceful kind of
man. He was one of Tennessee's
most loved men and his untimely
death has caused much sorrow among
a host of friends in Western Carolina
and Eastern Tennessee. v
His sense of humor and his good
will toward his fellowmen made him
an agreeable neighbor. He wa? a
good companion, father and a devout
Christian. We mourn his departure,
but we believe that he has entered
into that rest prepared for th^ peo
ple of God.
Uncle John's spirit of kindness and
neighborliness endeared him to the
people of this entire section and the
Lawrence home has been widely
known because of Its old-time south
ern hospitality.
Uncle John always met everyone
with a smile. Oh. how sad to think
we can never hear his voice again.
But we have the precious promise.
"Lo. I am with you always." and the
blessed assurance that our loss Is his
eternal gain. But he is now up yon
der in that beautiful home where all
is love, no sorrow, sin noi death,
eternal day. and one eternal song He
now sings as il it were a new song,
the praises of Him who bought him
with His own blood He has Just
parsed through the valley of the
shadow of death and entered Into a
greater service. One of our great sol
diers has ceased to be with us In par
son. but his spirit Is here and hi*
life will live on. -He Las ceased from
this earthly labor, but his work will
follow on after him. We do not know
of any one" that will be more sorely
missed than Uncle John. Neverthe
less. God in His infinite wisdom
knows best; therefore, we must be
submissive to His will and say blest
are they who die in the Lord.
Survivors include the widow, the
former Miss Emma Thomas, and the
following children: Mrs. Verna Potter.
Maxton Lawrence. Paul Lawrence.
Wright Lawrence and Cecil Lawrence
all of Trade. Tenn.; Mrs. A rale Mae
Brown. Boone; Fuller Lawrence. Ban
ner Elk; Mrs. Birdie Miller. Zlonvllle;|
Mrs. Ruth Oliver. Mabel, and Mrs.
Wilma Proffltt. Vilas. Also surviving
are two brothers, James B. La wren cc.
of Mountain City. Tenn., and Tom
Lawrence of Viljui. and four sisters.
Mrs. Polly Younce and Mrs. Minnie
Harrington of California; Mrs. Molly
Stout. Vilas, and Mrs. Vertie Greer of
Zionvllle. May the God of comfort
bind up the wounded hearts of that
dear wife and children, and all his
relatives and may we all be ready to
meet him where parting will be no
more.
We pass by his door.
But we see him no more;
While the sweet birds sing.
"Father's not at home."
He's gone to heaven, we all trust.
His body goes back to the mother
dust.
He's gone on out through the ages
to roam,
While the sweet winds sing,
"Father's not at home."
