Murphy Merchants Will heed
Chamber Of Commerce In 954
Two new, article* in this tasue of the Scout deal with business in
Cherokee County and Murphy and in one point they touch on the same
theme.
In Prank Forsyth's outlook for 1954. he pointed out to merchants
that Murphy has a large area and business should make every effort
in the new year to protect that trading area.
Another article concerns the many improvements made by firms
during 1953. Those improvements are definite steps in Murphy's
attempts to hold on to its present business and efforts to gain still
more customers.
The 1954 outlook also points out that customers will be harder to
find and keep in the coming year. That means that businessmen every
where will have to work harder in the fight for more customers.
Merchants in Murphy have banded together for the past two years
to stage a Christmas Trade week. The idea is still new but both trade
weeks were successful enough to make leading businessmen believe
that Murphy would do well to continue the special pre-Christmas
trading period.
. But one trade week per year is not enough to keep customers in
the Murphy trading area coming to Murphy. And it looks as though
future trade weeks or sales will be hard to continue without an organiz
i
ed Chamber of Commerce.
?
The same men both years gave their time to Trade Week. But it
was easy to see and understand that some men this year felt they gave
too much time in 1952 and held back to some degree this Christmas.
It is difficult to keep asking the same persons to give freely of their
time. Those men have jobs and businesses they must look after. And
from the tone of the 1954 outlook they will have to give even more to
their businesses in 1954.
Now. more than ever before, the Murphy merchants need to band
together in a Chamber of Commerce and hire ? full time secretary. As
1954 wears on merchants will find they will need special sales through
out the year to draw customers. A Chamber of Commerce with a sec
retary will assure the merchants that the sales will be well planned
and carried out.
Before the new year goes too far Murphy should see a Chamber of
Commerce established with a secretary.

la God. There true. You will

equator who won't believe to ld

But many people believe to icicle*

would be diahoneat not to admit
it?It la harder to believe in God
than to believe in little thin*a.
? ? ?
The Living Word
Now God knowa that We can
aay, without Irreverence, that God
la faced with a kind of dilemma. If
he leta things take their natural
courae. moat men will not believe
in him, and that will be bad for
them But if he ao to apeak burata
on mortal men In his full (lory,
no human mind could endure It
Suppose a very curious and skep
tical person who did not believe
in atoms because he had never
seen one. insisted on a close view
of an atomic explosion? He would
be vaporized before he knew what
hit him. A full view, ao to apeak,
of the Infinite and Omnipotent
God. would be insupportable by
our small minds. It is the (lory
of God that be baa solved this
dilemma. He, the Unreadable, has
translated himself into the life of
man. He the Indescribable has
"become flesh" aa John putsit?has
become the Christ who can be
described. He who is infinitely be
yond us has come to live beside
ua. The God who dwells in Eter
nity's silence has spoken in many
"forma and fra(menta" in a(es
past, but now has spoken the per
fect Word in Christ. When the
church calls Christ the "Word"
of God we mean that Christ is
what God has to aay.
? ? ?
Concern
As has often been said, it is
more helpful, and just aa true, to
say that God is like Christ aa that
Christ is like God. Christ, we may
say, is the knowable, the believe
able God. God apart from Christ
is like an inscription left on a
great rock in an Inaccessible des
ert, an inscription in an unkown
tongue. God in Christ is written
in our own lan(uage. It has been
" said (with pardonable exaggera
tlon) that Christ is the only God
the Christian knows. Surely this
much the Christian church has
always believed: that any notions
of God that are out of line with
what we know of Jesus are out
of line with truth. Now there are
many thin(s we want to know
about God, and some of these
thin(s we really do not need to
knew. But some thin(s we des
perately do need t<} know?every
thing hangs on it
One question is this: Does the
high God have any concern for,
or concern with, the affairs of our
little planet? Is be so great that
our prayers never reach him. or
if they do, give him no concern?
Jesus is God's answer to that ques
tion. Everything human interested
Jesus. Sad things like funerals,
glad events like weddings?peo
ple's ordinary problems and their
great crises, ? wherever people
were, however obscure and "tav
important" there Jesus of Naza
reth was concerned. We cannot
believe in Christ as God's Word
end still fancy an indifferent God.
Power
Another thine that wo seriously
wont to know, la whathar Qod has
raal power; and 11 so. what kind
it is and bow ha uaas It There Is
a notion abroad, strange as It
mini, that Qod Is net really the
ruler of all, but a sort of candi
date lor the thrcoe of the oni
verse; a celestial "Bonnie Prince
Charlie" who is doing the best he
can to gain control but who so tar
has not succeeded. If we under-!
stand and believe that God is like }
Christ, we can believe that he Is
in charge of every situation. Men
called Jesui "Master" and with
good reason. God Is master of his
universe. And yet we also see that
Christ exerted his power in differ
ent ways. (More of tffb in later
lessons in John.) He did not act!
on men in the manner of a light
ning bolt
