It The Church A Failure
By DONALD LOVE
In our time, we are going
through this unbelievable,
noo-believable and this, no
such thing as God, Son and
Holy Ghost, our questions are
to-day as they were yester
years. Why would God do this
or that is He so god? If
God is so merciful, why then
does He let the best one of
a family die instead of per
mitting the worse one die?
How could any one call such
acts merciful?
Those of you who have
had the privilege talking to
people who believe this
way, know wliat I am trying
to say. Those of you who
haw not, then you are in the
dark as to what I am trying
to say.
There are two ways; there
is no third way, so man has
to get in between the two
ways, right and wrong, good
and evil and God and the
Devil, then choose one of the
two ways. The decision is his
to make. Mother, father,
sister and brother can not de
cide for you. This is an in
dividual thing. What ever side
you choose, no one else is
held responsible because they
are reaponsible for their de
cussions.
The Israelites in the Old
Testament served the same
purpose as christians to-day.
It would not be fair to say
the Christian today serve the
same purpose as the Israelites
did.
To clearify this statement,
the law in the old testament
which was served by the Israe
lites, demanded thejn fp
live there by, then when they
failed, they sined. Christ, came
on the scene later and intro
duced another way to do the
will of God, rather than by
law. This new way was LOVE.
When anyone failed to obey
God, by means of the new
way, sin also. SIN is God's
worse enemy.
There are many questions
we can ask our selves con
cerning the reality of God. We
could begin by asking: Does
God mean any thing to me?
Can I at any time feel any
thing differently than at other
times? It is very possible that
you do not know or realize
the feeling when it does ap
pear. Have you ever been about
your work, for reasons you
can not explain, tears begin
to flow from your eyes, the
feeling is super. What about
riding along, a song comes to
your mind, then you begin to
sing; here come those tears
again, the volume increase. By
now you are dominated with
and engulfed by the love of
God. It is nice to know just

what is happening to you
When you are in this other
world, the things usually fret
you, don't any more. When
you have been talked about,
you love the talker rather than
disliking. You feel for people,
you suffer when you know
others are suffering.
I do not care how good one
might be, there is some evil
in that person, I do not care
how evil one might be, there
is some good in that person.
Those of us who are considered
good, have to be ever so care
ful to shun the tricks of evil
ness. The most vital aspect of
our conduct, is our conduct
itself.
If we are to followers of
Christ, then be examples for
others, we have to check our
walk, our talk and our every
movements, not so much for
our selves but for the sake of
others.
St. Paul, one of the greatest
apostles, spoke a truth that
rocked the christian society
when he stated: "Meat was
good for him, but if others
would do wrong due to him
eating it, he would eat no
more. Many of us could make
similar statements. Would any
of you Christians be willing
to give up what ever it Is you
like so well, for the sake of a
friend and especially a foe to
prevent either or both from
going wrong?
In the event you take
drinks or smoke, would you
be willing to give them up if
the friend or foe turned out
to be habitual drinkers and
smokers? Christ stated: "It
isn't what goes into a person
that defiles him but what
comes out." You could be as
sociated with what the other
fellow does. Not directly so
but associated due to your
leadership.
I would that you try some
of the things I have suggested;
give it a fair trial, then you
will be able to say and mean it,
the saying of our good friend,
St. Paul, "I know that my.
redeemer liveth because He
lives within my soul." This can
only be said by means of ex
perience.
KITCHEN AIDS
You don't need a magazine
layout kitchen to be an efficient
cook. The 3M Company office
efficiency experts suggest ways
to get your kitchen together:
1) Can't tell basil from oregano?
Label your spice jars with
Scotch package sealing tape. 2)
Organize your canned foods ac
cording to category. 3) A looj>
of Scotch Magic transparent
tape will tack your recipe in
view while you work. Keeps
frequently - used recipes from
getting smeary, too. 4) Keep
pretty pots and pans in the
open on a peirboard. 5) Build a
shelf for small appliances so
they won't cause counter clutter.

MRS. SELPH
doch Center in Butner, the
Community Mental Health
Center are all contributing to
the program.
Although it's too soon to
know the full effect of this
program in helping children do
better in school, some tangible
results are already apparent.
Tardiness is down, attendance
is up, and during the recent
flu outbreak, the absentee rate
at these schools compared
favorably with other schools.
Testing is projected to confirm
the hoped-for results: That
there are a number of ways a
community committed to the
education of each child can
help achieve this.
