Be\ond all question we are living in the most momentous period of history It
is a time of vast and rapid changes. Human thought and progress, which for
millenniums advanced like some slow-moving glacier, have thawed into a
thousand torrents of intense activity. plunging precipitously toward a frightening
tomorrow.
"Great clocks of destiny are striking now," and with each thunderous clang
some new epoch-making event occurs. Long pent-up hatreds burst forth in
flaming revolt. Old empires totter and collapse. Science breaks through another
barrier into the unknown.
This is an age of revolution in every phase of life. Everywhere there is ferment
and turmoil as the 6.0 billion inhabitants of earth polarize around their selfappointed
champions.
"The last half century has witnessed changes unprecedented both in their
nature and their extent," says Cyril Garbett, formerly archbishop of York. "It
is possible that w ithin this brief period of time greater changes have taken place
than in all the centuries between the coming of Christ and the middle of this last
century" (In an Age of Revolution. P. 13).
It is also an age of discovery and invention without parallel. Swiftly we have
moved from the steam age to the electric age; to the atomic age and the space
age. the plastic age and the computer age. Having conquered the last frontiers
of earth, man is reaching for the stars. Already he has been to the moon.
Spacecraft have probed Mars and Venus and peered closely at Neptune and
Pluto. (Night and day, at fantastic speeds, satellites circle the earth, by radio and
television continuously-reporting conditions in outer space)...
The harnessing of the atom has put more power within man's reach than he
has possessed since the dawn of time. So enormous are the sources of energy
now available that they could turn the world into a paradise--or a shambles.
Unfortunately, their primary use has been for the creation of weapons so
destructive that a few dozen could destroy every major city in any country on
which tfiey might fall.
Computers have brought startling changes, and more are close at hand.
Microchips have been developed that can perform almost 4 billion math
problems per second, (and the race is on to multiply that capacity several times!
Insiders predict that laptops soon will do what mainframes uses to!)...
In just the past few years, plastics have revolutionized the way we live. Even
more astonishing has been the progress in health care. More than 3 million
people in the United States live with artificial parts-pacemakers, heart valves,
hips, knees, and finger joints. Within a decade, scientists predict, artificial livers
and lungs will replace diseased tissue. (Quickly following them will come
prosthetic joints and bones that will function more smoothly than the ligaments
and cartilage they replace. About all that won't be replaceable will be the brain)
(U.S. News & World Report, Nov. 12, 1990)...
David Samoff, chairman of the Radio Corporation of America, has written,
"Our laboratories are burgeoning with half-realized dreams that sound as
fantastic as radio and television did when I was a boy. As Isaac Newton said,
we are merely picking up pebbles on the beach while the great ocean of truth lies
undiscovered before us" (What I See Ahead," Reader's Digest, April 1957). His
statement is even more true today than when he wrote it.
Tragically, despite these glowing prospects, we have entered also an age of
lawlessness for which there is no precedent save the corruption that prevailed
in the antediluvian world. It is seen not only in the mounting statistics of murder,
rape, and robbery, but in the seemingly hopeless battle being waged by police
and other public authorities against juvenile delinquency and illegal drugs
Crowded prisons and reformatories tell the same sad story, as do the daily
reports of cruel, sadistic crimes that crowd the pages of our new spapers.
Lying and perjury are so common that truth and honesty seem to have wellnigh
vanished from the earth. (In some lands contending factions have cast
off all restraints and know no law but violence)...
As a result we live in an age of fear. Never have people been so afraid
of the future. Describing the "pall of fear which at present dims the hopes
mankind." Bcrtrand Russell said not long ago, "Never before...has there
been valid reason for such fear. Never before has such a sense of futility
blighted the v isions of youth. Never before has there been reason to feel
that the human race was traveling along a road ending only in a bottomless
precipice."
The restructuring of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union has brought
some relief and a host of new worries. Who now controls the missiles in
states no longer submissive to Moscow? And those nuclear weapons in
the smaller nations-can they be kept out of the hands of determined terrorists?
Besides bombs, who is to protect the world from pollution, acid rain, global
warming, ozone depletion, over population, declining food production, the
rapacity of nations greedy for their neighbors' wealth, (and the swarms of other
problems casting their black shadows like fearsome clouds over the future9).
No wonder James T. Farrell, famous novelist, writing in The Race for Space,
expresses the opinion that the awful fear now gripping many hearts has revived
concern that the end of the world may be near. "We think of it as possible now
and in our own lifetime," he says. "We even sometimes ask ourselves if we are
to be the last generation."
In the United States Senate, Chaplain Frederick Brown Harris, D.D., uttered
this prayer: "Our Father God, with whom a thousand. To answer this question
and meet this urgent need is the purpose of Your Bible and You. It is designed
to help you realize what a priceless book your Bible really is, to show you how
it is in many ways the most up-to-date book in your library,' and to suggest that
it may become an endless source of benefit and inspiration to you and your
family.
It is, intentionally, a very personal volume, as a glance at the list in the
contents will reveal. Ouraim has been to help you see what the Bible says about
our God, your life, your home, your health, your problems, your future. We
have followed this form of presentation so that you might see how much there
is in the Bible for you.
Admittedly, this volume, despite its 256 pages, is but an introduction to the
Bible. Many more pages would be needed to deal thoroughly with all the deep
and wonderful themes the Holy Scriptures contain. But if it succeeds in leading
you to explore further the fabulous mine of spiritual riches, it will not have been
published in vain. I
We would add that Your Bible and You has been designed as a friendly
volume, warm with the love of God. It is not intended to profound theological
treatise, weighed down with a multitude of quotations from ecclesiastical
authorities. On the contrary, it is a simple setting forth of what the Bible has
to say on certain vital subjects. It is not a series of arguments, but rather ia
fireside chat. It subjects. It does not criticize or condemn anything or anybody,
but seeks-very gently-to release the flood tide of diving wisdom and love
forever pent up within the sacred pages of this Book of books.

Report
Mr. Daniel Crenshaw, Executive
Director of Robeson Family Counseling
Center was the Tuesday
evening speaker. He was presented
by Program Chairman Ed Teets. Mrs.
Mary Alice Teets is on the Executive
Board of the Counseling Service.
The Service deals with many Mental
problems of divorce, alcoholism,
abusive behavior in marriage, problems
between parents and children,
children and school. We supplement
hospital care, also to relieve pain for
some in time of death in a family.
Churches play a great part in God's
power to over come pain as a result of
death in a family. A child's night
time dreams can cause fear pains for
the child and we do help them to over
come them. Childrens fears at time
of divorce is a real problem in need of
counseling. Churches help us in
counseling. We come to Pembroke
once a week and we can be open for
appointments. We help in many
cases of depression. Our office is
next to the Baptist Church on Walnut
Street in Lumberton.
