Lest We Forget
The younger generation, in the face of all the
unrest in the world todav has been referred
iki
refer to themselves, as the hone of mankind
Perhaps they are, and that is as it should be, for
what other hope have we? But the older generation
has had its accomplishments too.
These are the people parents and grand
parents, who have in just 50 years increased your
life expectancy by 50 per cent. They have given you
a healthier world than they found. Because of them
you no longer have to fear epidemics of flu, typhus,
diphtheria, smallpox, scarlet fever, measles or
mumps that they knew in their youth. And the
dreaded polio is no longer a medical threat; TB is
almost unheard of.
These people lived through history's greatest
depression. They know what it is to be poor, hungry
and cold. And because of this they determined that
it would not happen to you; that you would have a
better life, a better chance. You would have better
food, milk to drink, a warm home, better schools
and more opportunities than they had.
They gave you the best and because of this you
are the healthiest, brightest and the best-looking
generation to live on earth.
They are the generation who cut the working
day by one-third, and at the same time more than
doubled the per capita output. And because they
were materialistic, you will work fewer hours,
learn more, have more leisure time, travel more,
and have a bettere chance to pursue your own
ambitions.
These are the people who defeated the tyranny
of Hitler, and had the good sense to establish the
United Nations. Who through the highest courts in
the land fought racial discrimination, and began a
new era in civil rights. It was they who built
thousands of high schools, trained and hired
thousands of better teachers and made higher
education a real possibility for millions of
youngsters, where once it was a privilege of the
wealthy few
They built roads, bridges, communications,
and put a a man on the moon And they are the ones
who discovered that through their endeavors ti
build a better world tor you, they had indeed left
scars on the earth, and they set about to heal those
scars by fighting pollution and the destruction of
our natural environment They created new laws
for conservation and set aside land for the en
joyment of generations to come.
And while they have done all these things they
have had some failures They have not yet found a
way to stop war, racial hatred, legal injustices, nor
social inequalities But they tried, and that is why
you, the younger generation, are the hope of man
kind If you try, you may be able to accomplish as
much as your parents and grandparents did by tht
sweat of their brows.
But it won't be easy And you won't do it by
tearing down, by negative thinking or belittling.
You may be able to solve some of the remaining ills
ol society by hard work, compassion, humility,
hope, and faith in mankind.

Lesson
FAITHFUL IN
ALL THINGS
International Sunday School
Lesson for March 28
MEMORY SELECTION:
"Moreover it is required in
stewards, that a man be found
faithful". (I Corinthians 4:2)
LESSON TEXT: Matthew
25:14-30.
Throughout the ages, and
throughout many languages,
words have changed their
meanings, or added new ones,
to the extent they take their
meaning from context.
A "talent" was, originally, a
measure of weight; later it
was used to describe a sum of
money; still later, it came to
mean any endowment of mind
or body attributed to an in
dividual. Regardless of its original
origin, however, all meanings
are apt in God's stewardship.
Christ can use the measure of
our beliefs; He can use
whatever of our monies given
in His service; He can use
whatever aptitudes we
possess when they are turned
towards furthering His
Gospel.
This lesson, therefore, is
primarily bent towards
helping man understand the
relationship between ability,
opportunity, and ac
countability, and towards
encouraging people to apply
their own personal, God-given
skills in His service.
In last week's lesson we
were adjured to be watchful
for the second coming of the
Lord. This week, still in the
same context, we are not only
to be watchful and prepared,
but we are to use the waiting
time wisely.
Christ gave to His disciples
a parable concerning a master
who would be long gone on a
journey. Against his return, he
gave to three of his servants
an amount of money in
relation to their powers of
stewardship as he judged
them. The first servant
received ten talents, which he
quickly increased to twenty;
the second servant received
two talents, which he, in turn,
increased to four; the third
servant received only one
talent, with which he did
nothing, merely hiding it until
the master's return.
Upon that return, the
master was well pleased with
the stewardship of the first
two men; he was, however,
greatly distressed and
disappointed by the laxity of
the third servant. Where the
first two were rewarded, the
third had taken away from
him not only the talent which
he had let he idle, but the trust
of the master.
Substituting Christ for the
master, and the disciples for
the servants, Jesus was still
talking about His second
advent on earth. He was
exhorting His companions to
be worthy of His expectations
of them. Their time was not to
be passed in idle waiting;
rather, it was to be devoted to
furthering the Gospel, so that
when He again came among
men Christianity would have
overflowed its boundaries.
Their stewardship was to be

Well, we finished the
World's Championship
Basketball Tournament this
afternoon and our Freshmen
Girls won and our boys were
runners-up to the Juniors! I
was so happy yesterday when
I was lording over Sprinkle
and Waldrop for beating them
for the top spot and they let me
have it back today when their
boys beat oursonly by two
points!
The tourney is a fine thing, I
think, and I hope we are
showing the students that one
can be a good sport regardless
of how a game comes out. I'm
sure there is lots of ribbing
going on the buses this af
ternoon, but it will all be
forgotten by this time next
week and learning to "take it"
is one of the best lessons one
can learn in this life. Things
will be much rougher when
they get out in the cold cruel
world !
How about those fellows
refusing to go into battle over
in Vietnam? I'm afraid there
will be much more of this if
they convict Calley. I still
think they shouldn't have tried
him, and hope they find him
I'm sure that you have visit
ed a zoo and have seen lions
pacing up and down their
cages and when they see some
food, they devour it in no time
flat. ..well, that's not exactly
what happened Monday night
at The Peddler, outstanding
Asheville Steak House, but it
came close.. ..you see, 17 of us
lions (we were not in cages,
however) enjoyed delicious
steaks along with giant salads
which each Lion made to suit
himself.. ..we really devoured
the steaks, the fruit cocktails
and the salads it's not often
this wrtier sits down to a 10
ounch perfectly cooked
medium rare steak and such
occasions are long remem
bered. ...in addition to the fine
food and fellowship, Roy
Reeves and Wiley DuVall had
transitor radios in the private
room and we listened to the
diligent.
In our stewardship, where
do we stand? Do we align
ourselves with the two ser
vants who were diligent on
their master's behalf? Or do
we find ourselves placed
alongside the lazy one? Is our
attitude a further reflection of
his?
Opportunities neglected too
often become opportunities
forever lost. Christ, along with
the priceless gift of grace, also
left us a religion of doing, as
well as hearing. In the way in
which we put our talents to
work for Him is the measure
of our love for God, our ap
preciation of His care for us,
and our own personal sense of
responsibility to the church of
our faith. Whether or not that
church grows in outreach or
falls into spiritual disrepair
will measure our talents as we
await His coming again.

innocent. He probably did an
inhuman thing, but how many
innocent lives are lost when a
bomber drops bombs on
towns? We don't call that
murder, do we?
Did you watch the Grammy
awards? I didn't know half of
the people involved so I guess
I'm just not "with it" these
day . I have learned to like the
song, "Joy to The World", but
still feel like they have stolen
the title and maybe it isn't
right for them to use it. But I
like the rhythm.
Read a cute joke about a
practicing teacher who asked
his students to write about
how well he was teaching his
classes. This was in English,
and one of them wrote, "You
done real good"!
OBSERVED Saw Charles
Bradley the other afternoon in
Asheville driving the biggest
truck or machine and wasn't
sure it was really he until I
checked with Theresa Ball, his
little sister-in-law, and she
said he had been back from
service for some time and had
been driving that thing some
time now Guess I shouldn't
call Theresa a little thing

Now is the time to seed your
lawn. Bluegrass is a cold
weather plant. It does most of
its growing during the cooler
season such as early spring
and fall. In order for it to get a
head start over the warm
weather grasses, such as
crabgrass, we should do
everything in our power to
make growing easy for it
during this season.
We would strongly
recommend fertilization
according to soil sample, but a
good maintenance ration for
your lawn would be 35 pounds
of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 1000
square feet and broadcast.
This should be done now and
again about the middle of
September.
Ecology has become a
major issue in America today.

This new idea has in

toward the pioneer look. For
dress up it's tiny flower
prairie prints, long ruffle
dresses and skirts often with
pinafores or aprons and
layered skirts with petticoats.
For play it's work shirts and
one piece denim overalls.
Natural fiber fabrics work
best for these new looks.

up by some handcrafted
