Living With
Peace Of Mind
By Kirby Page
We little realize how vast is
our indebtedness to Walter Raus
chenbusch, for he has helped us
immeasurably to understand the
gospel of Christ. He recognized
the simple gospel to be good news
about God and about man, a sum
mons to right relationships. The
will of God embraces all human
affairs. We are challenged to love
God, to love ojr families, to love
our neighbors, to love our ene
mies. Because the gospel is a pro
clamation of good news about
right relationship, it is necessarily
personal and social in nature The
personal gospel and the social gos
pel are the two sides of the one
simple gospel.
It was Walter Rauschenbusch
more than any other individual
who drove home this truth to the
leaders of the churches in this
country. For eleven years he min
istered to the people of a slum
area in New York, and came to
know sin in its many subtle and
blatant forms. He became familiar
with personal sins, and he was
overwhelmed by the ravages
wrought by social sins—corrup
tion by politicians, ruthless greed
by corporations, grafting by offi
cials of labor unions, discrimina
tions by white people against Ne
groes and by native-born against
immigrants.
Then he taught in Rochester
Theological Seminary and wrote
books. In 1907 appeared his fa
mous volume, “Christianity and
the Social Crisis." Five veais lat
er came “Christianizing the Social
Order." Great indeed is my per
sonal indebtedness to Walter Rau
schenbusch for the powerful im
pact these books made upon me
during my college and seminary
days.
Rauschenbusch was a pioneer,
along whose trail thousands of
ministers are now traveling, as
they preach the simple gospel of
light relationships with God and
with man, a gospel intensely per
sonal and at the same time utter
ly social
During the days of burning
I heat and nights of surpassing
beauty, Jesus conversed with his
Father, through forty days and
forty nights. He examined again
and agORS? .he proposed solutions
which were being offered by his
contemporaries, the ways out sug
gested by the Pharisees, the Sad
ducees, the Zealots, the Essenes.
One by one they were dismissed
as being inadequate or inconsis
tent with God’s demands upon his
life. Finally he was laid hold upon
by a mighty conviction which
never let him go.
This is God’s will and this is
God’s way: Live today as a good
member of our Father’s home,,
Live this way positively by main
taining attitudes and engaging in
actions which help other persons
to love God and to trust him, and
which bind men together in com
passionate goodwill and mutual
service. Live this way negatively
by condemning and denouncing
attitudes and actions which weak
en love of God and love of man.
Live with sympathy and com
passion; live with forbearance and
forgiveness, with appreciation
and gratitude; live with humility
and patience; live with fidelity
and trust; live wilh courage and
sacrificial devotion.
Live without anxiety and fear;
live without covetousness and en
vy; live without pride ;ind arro
| Ranee; live without enmity and
I retaliation; live without violence
I and bloodshed.
j Happy are the gentle, the hum
ble, the meek, the pure in heart,
the mereiful. the peuceinakers,
the zealous for righteousness, the
seekers after God’s kingdom. Joy
comes from relationship Love
God utterly, love people that way.
Keep on loving and forgiving and
serving Run the risks, take the
consequences, trust God’s king
dom.

Sobering Vitamin
Found By British
British doctors have reported
ly found a solution to the sober
ing-up problem, which afflicts
many straying citizens. It is said
the solution is an injection of Vit
amin B-ti, (or Bandon), which
reportedly sobers up drunks in
three minutes without leaving a
hang-over.
If early reports are accurate,
and Vitamin B-(i becomes ac
cepted as a sobering-up injection,
leaving no had'after effects, then
the world will be saved billions
of overbearing hours from the
drunks In fact, it might become
the vogue for all sober-minded
brothers to carry a syringe load
ed with Vitamin B-6.
Confronted with the overbear
ing drunk, all one would have to
do is whip out his syringe and
give him a quick shot of Vitamin
B-6, choosing his spot according
| to the irritation involved.

Here’s how to prove Pontiac vnltn
First, get behind the wheel and drive it—see how
Pontiac puts you out In front in traffic, skims you
along the open road with surprising economy; HW
its big, husky high-compression engine provides
power to spare.
Next, take a good long look at its distinctive
styling and its luxurious color-matched interiors.
Consider, also, Pontiac’s reputation for unsur
passed dependability, long-range economy and high
resale value.
Finally, compare its low price—so low, in fact,
that if you can afford any new car you can afford a
Pontiac. Why not come in and see for yourself?
