DEAD WORKS
Twice In Paul's Epistles he re
fers to "dead works." la Heb. 6:1
he write about "repencancs from
dead works," while In Heb. 9:14 he
declares that the blood of Christ
avails to "purge the consciene
from dead works to serve the
LIVING God."
Mark well, these references are
not WICKED works but to DEAD
works. These "dead works" are
h so-called "food works"
(whether moral or ceremonial)
which men did and still doto
make themselves acceptable to
God. They are "dead" because
they are not the product of re
generation or spiritual life, but
the mere atempt on the part of
unregenerate sinners to justify
themselves before God.
Paul himself, once zealously re
ligious, but wholly unsaved, had
to repudiate his "dead works" and
count them "loss" to find salvation
in Christ, through whom alone he
could produce good works which
God could accept (Phil. 3:4-9).
This is why he later declared by
divine inspiration: "For by grace
are ye saved, through faith; and
that not of yourselves; it is the
gift of God: Not of works, lest any
man should boast, for we are His
workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus UNTO GOOD WORKS . . .
(Eph. 2-8-10).
"Dead works'' are not only un
acceptable to God, but an evil sub
stitute for the faith Ha desires,
"for without faith It Is impossible
to olease God" (Heb. 11:6). Bat
"ha that beljeveth on the Son of
God hath life" and this life is
bound to bear FRUIT the good
works with which God is truly
pleased.
The difference between the
"godd works" of the unregenerate
man and the "good works" of a
true believer, then, is that the
former are "dead works" while
the latter are the precious fruit
of life possessed
No man can please fjod while
He denies the truth of His Word
or rejects His Son, so graciously
given to die on the cross as our
Savior. To try to win His favor
bv "eood works" while rejecting
Christ is like sending a gift to a
man whose beloved son you spurn
and despise.
'The Father loveth the Son, and
hath given all things into His
hands. He that believeth on the
Son hath everlasting life" (John
3:35,36). "Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved" (Acts 16:31). (Next week:
"Dead Faith").

tary and treasurer, took an offer
ing and gave her report.
The meeting being announced in
rder to transact business, tne
buying of cards by the club to
send to the sick was approved
A fund raising project for the
club was discussed. We were then
asked by our president to select
a "Mother of the Year" from our
members. It was suggested we
use a secret ballot. By votes this
was given Mrs. J. D. Gosnell.
The business being taken care
of, and in the absence of our
home agent, Mrs. Wallin, our pro

had Mrs. John Clark in charge.

home is the background of all oth
er activities; so let's plan for a
larger club in the summer months
ahead, and work together to build
our community.

SAFETY HINTS
FOR GARDENING
As spring approaches, the gar
dening urge is apt to strike. Dig- S
ging in the soil and planting seeds '
has an outdoor springtime appeal.
One of the first things to re- ;
member is to TAKE IT EASY,
especially at the beginning. The
day you start spring garden ac
tivities, your skin will undoubted
ly be tender. Blisters may devel
op very easily; they should be
given prompt attention. If you
overdo, sore and aching muscles,
sunburned back, or even more se
rious penalties may be your reward
Greensboro Office, reminded tax
payers today.
If the taxpayer's 66th birthday is
on or before January 1, 1963, he is
not required to file unless his gross
income m 1!)(2 was at least
$1,200.
Even though a taxpayer is not
required to file, he must do so to
obtain a refund if any income tax
was withheld from his pay.
There is one exception to the
general rule. Self-employed per
sons such as sole proprietors,
partners and independent contract
ors must file an income tax return
and pay a self-employment tax if
net earnings from self-employment
were $400, or more.
Taxpayers who have questions
about filing requirements may ob

Your Tax Return," by writing to
their local Internal Revenue Of

activities that may lie ahead. A
void scooping up piles of rubbish
with tits hands; use a shovel.
Tools should also be conditioned
before major gardening starts.
The cutting edge of a spade, the
hoe, or cultivator should be sharp
ened with a file. Inspect the han
dles of garden tools and make
sure they aref ree of splinters
that may cause wounds and invite
infection.
Although hoes and rakes are
simple tools, they should be han
dled carefully, especially where
more than one person is working
in a small area. Carry the tools
in your hand rather than over
the shoulder; if they are put on
the ground, place blades or tines
down. When the day's work is
completed, tools should be clean
ed and returned to their proper
place.
