PAGE SIX .—8 The Roundup Bt WILBORNE HARRELL FOTPOURRI Procras tination can be a terrible thing. I have, in a life time of trying to write, discarded dozens of ideas, titles, notes, from my notebooks, because some other writer had beat me to it and written the same thing. Whether or not I could have done as well with the same idea as the other writer, is beside the point. The point is, I sat on my hands and did nothing, dawdled and doodled —in short, I pro crastinated, and lost the opportunity to make use of some very good ideas. The ideas must have been bas ically sound, because the other writers used them, and they were published.

How you use words, or how you construct your sentences, may make a lot of difference in how the meaning comes out.

Recent ly, on a TV show, the master of ceremonies made this announcement, “And now we have a young girl, dancing with a young man, wearing an evening gown.” Was the young man wearing the evening gown? I’ll leave it up to you to figure it out. Most things in life are optional—take it or leave it. And that makes the difference between peo ple: how they take it or how they leave it. EVE iDROPPE SAYS: This fellow we heard to say: “I’m disgusted with politics. I’m not going to vote for anybody for presi dent this election.” It’s the grains of sand that make the beach, and the drops of water that make the ocean. And it is your vote added to all the other votes that makes the dif ference of carrying an is sue or defeat. One snow flake never made a bliz zard, but a blizzard is a power to be reckoned with.

Let's Go To Church Sunday SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON THE FIRST OF JESUS’ SIGNS International Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 14 Memory Selection: “This beginning of Piracies did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory; and His disciples believed on Him..—John 2:11. Lesson Text: John 1:33 to 2:12. In this lesson we learn of the changing of the water into wine at the bridal feast by Jesus, and recognize that by this act, Jesus revealed himself to the assembled guests as the true Mes siah, possessing the power of God and demon strating His authority to provide cleansing of sins. Jesus never performed these miracles heed lessly; in each one there was a reason. It was up to the beholders to read into it the motive behind it. In the feeding of the five thousand, for instance, He demonstrated the ability to pro vide for God’s children; in the raising of Laz arus from the dead, He manifested Himself as the giver of life—not only to Israel, but to all mankind. And it is true that—to truly understand these acts—our insight must be guided by the Holy Spirit. If we follow the recordings of Jesus’ life on earth carefully, we will see that He was always ready to join with the people in their everyday joys and celebrations. He never removed Him self from their customs, because of His lofty destiny; rather, He was one of them, loving life, and firmly believing that the world was His father’s despite all the sin and tragedy that ex isted. In this specific instance, the changing of the water into wine had a twofold reason to Jesus. He was not only providing the traditional drink for wedding guests, but He was also providing purification for their souls. For wine tradi tionally represente Jesus’ blood in the Sacra ment-purification from sins flowing from Jesus’ . body. In the parable of the young man being chided by the ruler of the feast for providing the inferior wine first, and keeping the good wine till last (pointing out that if the order had been reversed the guests, having already im bibed, wouid not have noticed the difference) Jesus was pointing out the superiority of His purification when compared with the old, es tablished Jewish purification customs. For in His life, death and His sacrificial blood, Jesus has provided eternal forgiveness of sins and a permanent reconciliation with God. By Jesus’ “signs” as they were called, He was revealing outwardly His inner character. His Messiahship was being proclaimed, for He was exercising an authority over nature that had hitherto been only manifested by God. But Jesus did not perform miracles for mir acles’ sake; through them He made it known that He demanded genuine commitment— not just the immediate awestruck responses.

Yes, we’ve come a long way since the first clock, which was simply the alternating pe riods of darkness and daylight.

It is n storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democ racy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend ser vices regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and na tion. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
