Text: “Come before Be
presence with ■tafta*”—
rnlm IM:2.
The song book of the Bible
and the prayer book are the
same book. When you read
the Psalms you sre reading
and praying, too.
A man may not know notes
from mosquitoes or a barb
wire fence, but he can holler
the words and make a joyful
noise.
Jesus and His disciples sang
Psalms 117, 118 and 118 on
the way to the Cross.
Christianity was bom in a i
graveyard and we still sing :
'at funerals. We are not
: happy because they are gone ]
; but glad because they are ■
: more alive than ever. We i
; feel like shouting every time i
we see a tombstone.
• The early Christian move- i
ment was a boundless enthu- i
siasm. The worldly crowd is ]
trying to duplicate this but i
they cackle like a hen that i
sees a snake. Christian joy
is a fruit that does not grow 1
in nature’s barren soil.

Family Planning Questions
"Newlyweda, Wait For The
First One”
Q. Why should newlyweds
practice family planning?
A. When a couple gets
married they have many ad
justments to make. Both
husband and wife soon rea
lize that they have a lot to
learn about each other. They
need time to learn each oth
ers likes and dislikes con
cerning little things they
never thought of before mar
riage.
It usually takes a year or
so of marriage to adjust to
each other well enough that
a new baby coming into the
home will be a blessing in
stead of a calamity. New
babies can put a strain on the
husband-wife relationship. If
the couple is not able to bear
this new weight, serious con
sequences result.
Caring for a baby is a full
time job with no vacation or
days off. Time once used to
relax together must now be
spent meeting the batoys
needs.
The economic strain on the
family is obvious. iMany
women want to work a few
years before having their
first child. Others want to
continue their education.
These things can combine to
make a woman a better moth
er because she has more to
offer her child. If she be
comes pregnant before fin
ishing school or before she
gets a job, it will be very
difficult to continue her edu
cation later, and the econo
mic benefits from the new
job are lost completely.
The risk of danger to the
health of mother and baby V
great during the teen years.
The safest time for birth is
while the mother is in her
20’s. By waiting until she is
in her 20’s to have her first
child, a woman can ensure a
safer delivery and the inter
vening years can serve to
help the couple make better (
preparations for the baby.
Newlyweds who do not
postpone having their first
child until they can give a
new baby the attention, love,
patience, food and clothing he
deserves are not being .fair
to themselves or to the baby.
By waiting they can have a
healthier happier baby in a
healthier happier home.
For further information or
appointment, call your priv
ate physician, local health
department or local EIC of
fice.

ALL OF LITE IFOR CHRIST
International Sunday School Lesson dor Dec. 27
Memory Selection: “God hath not given us the
spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of
a sound mind.”—H Timothy 1:7.
Lesson Text: Philippians 3:1-21.
As we approach the end at an old year, and
look forward with shining hope to the beginning
of a new one, perhaps this is an appropriate
time to assess ourselves in the light of what we
have learned in the lessons at this past quar
ter. Our first unit dealt with the nature of the
Christian faith, while the second dealt with
Christian maturity in that faith. The responsi
bilities entailed have been set forth at length.
And now we come to the present lesson—a fit
ting conclusion of the series—for it challenges
every believer to live his faith in the most posi
tive fashion of which he is capable.
Our studies for today lie once again in the
mighty penmanship of the Apostle Paul. Few
writers have been able to approach his style
and clarity—maybe because Paul wrote from
the heart.
Paul felt very strongly (and in this he was’
one with Christ himself) that the prerequisites
of salvation lay not in the formal religious rites
and ceremonies which were highly regarded at
that time, but, rather, in genuine devotion to
Christ alone.
Within the context of our lesson *<All of life
for Christ” the story of Paul ,speaks eloquently.
Born Saul of Tarsus, he had a proud inherit
ance from a 1 revered ancestry. A prince among
men, he lived within the confines of his duties,
accepting the rigors of counting himself a man
among men for so doing. But when he became
a convert, he repented his previous life. From
a persecutor of Christians he became their most
stalwart ally, their most inspired leader. He
put his life behind him, as he had known it,
with its ease and riches, and became spartain in
his dress and in his mode of living. And he
counted everything well lost for Christ. His
values changed, his eye became more percep
tive, his heart more understanding. Paul saw
in Christ not only the answer to the needs of
his ow n soul, but the answer to the needs of
the world, and he zealously set about bringing
this knowledge to the people. Paul completely
identified himself with Christ, and fully ac
knowledged Christ’s possession of his life.
Conversion, such as Paul’s can be ours, too.
Time and distance and history do not pre
clude it.
We, too, need to guard ourselves against the
outward trappings of faith. If we do not give
of ourselves while participating in them, then
they become meaningless; they do us no good,
and they certainly displease God.
If we do not give of ourselves in His service,
as day follows night in our life span, then we
are wasting our lives. We will leave the werid
.Ufrtouched by ounaxistence, and ourselves empty
vessels. We will have wasted so much of that
