'JC DSVOTIOMAI. READING 1:8-4:1. Right With God Lesson for July 24, 1949 pET RIGHT with God" is an VJT expression which has been sometimes used by people. It is not a pnnrao nr ithonn iAn Tt In thA mnRt llmportant thing you can do. Think what it means to be wrong with God I That means to be out of harmony with his will, go ing "across the grain of reality" as the old Greeks used to say. To be wrong with God means to Dr. Foreman' De a reoel against reality, to have the power of the universe working against you, and so to be headed for sure destruc tion. Wrong with God, you cannot win. Right with God, you cannot lose. To be right with God means to be in line with the purpose that runs through all things; it means In the simple language of the Bible, to live as a child of God. Mule, or Man? THERE are two ways In which man can' come Into line, so to speak, with God. One is by being whipped into t, and the other is by a free act of will. The poet of the 32nd Psalm begs his readers not to be like mules or colts (Ps. 32:9). These animals can be broken and controlled by their mas ters. But they do not understand What is going on, and if left to themselves they would never serve. They have to be caught, har nessed and driven. But God does not want to treat human . beings like that. Getting right with God Is not a business of getting into harness, being beat en into walking on the right " road. , That is not God's way. He pleads With us through his inspired poet: Be tiot as mutes be- men! - Facing Up to Yourself THE short good Bible word for be ing wrong with God is Sin. The very first step toward being right With God is to see yourself as you. are. No one ever went to a doctor till he at least suspected he was 'sick. No one ever went to school of his own accord who thought he knew everything. And no one will come to God who thinks he is as good; os he needs to be. When life goesjhard with us, when everything abouj our life seems twisted and rotten, we make all sorts of excuses for ourselves, we lay the blame on out parents or our friends of the social -and economic system in which we live (doubtless all these have a share in creating our troub les), but we hate to look at our selves In the mirror of truth. " This comes first: recognizing one own wrongness, not Just ' weakness but wrongness. When wo reach the point where we can gay with the Psalmist, ' "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right ; spirit within me," then we are ' on the right toad. i "Hide Thy Face" THERE aro two things we never hear about in the Bible. One is ttiat God never' forgave anyone who 'did not repent', and the other is that he refused to forgive any one who 'did repent. But repentance is not 'merely regretting that a wrong was done; still less regretting being caught Repentance, the kind the Bible describes (as in these Psalms 'for example),, means a complete change of attitude, it means coming over on Rod' side and seeing sin (the way he sees it, seeing life the way he sees it Ood's forgiveness is not of : ' the grudging- remembering, re J 'minding kind. Bat condoning I sod forgiving are still a world apart Condoning means saying in affect, It Is aU right, It makes , no difference, yap can go on ; atoning for all I care. ' Some human f'forgiveheas" may be like that 'but not God's. His forgiveness is based on ' real re pentance, and the aim of it is to saVe the sinner from his sin. - .- ': Plenteous In Mercy . .

We are still faced with a housing shortage throughout the country -so, in order to supply the present need and take care of future needs, we must timber as fast as we use it. During last year 3,785 acres of forest burned in Duplin which resulted in great damage to young and growing trees - 907c of these fires are caused by man, and usu ally through negligence. If we were to take as much in terest in our forest as we do our other crops, there would be few f.'res and little damage to forest lands The real opportunity of adding to the national woodpile through good forestry management is knock ining at the door of every Duplin County farmer. What are you going to do about it? In Duplin County,'Nthcre is a Farm Forester who is ready to work with you at any time concerning your woodland management. Mr. D. E. Coleman, Jr. can be reached at the Waccamaw Bank Bldg., in Whiteville, N. C. Feel free to call on him at any time. "Matches have heads, but no brains. When you use their heads use your brains."

HILTON VILLAGE. Va., July 13. The ladies' faces at the Hilton Village bridge club lit up when t 'e hand was dealt and each glanced Ing at the door of every Duplin cheerily at each other like a cat smiles at a mouse. Then Mrs. William Faulkner of Newport News opened the bidding with seven clubs. Four sets of eye brows knitted into frowns. Then Mrs. Robert Biener of New port News bid seven spades. Three sets of eyebrows immediately shot up again in wonder. Mrs. William Home of Newport News and Miss Helen Ridell ol Philadelphia look ed troubled. Mrs. Biener laid down 13 spades. Mrs. Faulkner screamed. She bi 13 clubs. And each of the other ladies had a perfect hand -7- 13 hearts and 13 diamonds. Then all four screamed for witnesses.
