II:v; to Grew aaon for July 4, 1954 j - ' IF A Chrlntl , lt U Chrlstlsn at ; 14T Whatever a person may think , about that, one thing: la certain: ' u Christian la not am win a -ha. i Is not like Jesus. For the next three monthi the Bible lesions studied in .all the churches that sponsor wis series 4 will be on the gen . eral subject of " , "Growth In Chris tian Living." Can .1 this, be, studied? Doesn't growth ., coma naturally or not at all? , For .answer to that .,uie Lord Jesus Dr. Foreman'' himself. It 1s said of him that he "Increased in wisdom and stature .end in favor with Gdd and man." If Jesus Is our Example In growth s well as in other ways, then we can learn much about Christian growth from him. A Time for Struggle' r' The Greek language in which Luke wrote, has words for every- , thing. Many times, we can see what Luke meant by carefully t looking Into the Greek words he used, which are sometimes more. ' precise wan our '.English words usually are.' In Luke 2:40 it Is written that Jesus the boy "grew." In Luke J: 52 it is said that he Increased." Now those are two i . A .... -I amerent vireex woras, in tne ortg inal manuscript, and they do not mean Just the same thing at all. The first Is the ordinary everyday . .word for "grow." Plants grow, - animals stow, the little hov Jem -. aub Mini woru u usea lor r aU kinds of living things. Now a , little boy,' say Ave years old. no more tries to grow than an oyster - does. He' will grow, all right - Nothing can stop him if he gets plenty of food and sunshine. When tie goes to scnooi he does not have to study hard, he "picks up" ; things as we say. 'But there comes a time in every boy's life, and it v must, have come in Jesus' life, ,' when this simple word "grow" ' is not enough any more. The word . "increase" is a different word, en - tlrely. It means literally to cut one's way forward. It la the word which was used to describe' what a road-building -crew did in chop ' ping out a trail through the. for? est. It is a word for effort, strug t. gle. hard work.- The time came ' for Jesus, as It does for all grow . Ing persons, when, he could no longer grow without putting out his own vigorous strength, r s Good Animal? 1 An angry woman oame into a teacher's room one day and -com-: plained about the way her poor ; little boy (a rascal If ever there ; was . one) had been, treated. .."I ; want you to understand," she said. ' "that I don't care If he is a scholar or not All I want is for him to be a good animal.'.' If the teacher had not been young and . shy, he would have said to the r woman. "Madam, that's Just the trouble. He Is a good animal; we should like to have him develop Into something else besides. If ' aO you want is a good animal, ' take your boy home) he has grad ' uatedl" Of course, tne lady was partly right We human beings are animals,' and as such we ought ; to develop physically to the best of our capacity. We have to work : at it Ood will not send it free, '.not even to.CThristlanfcS;:,,t Th All-Round r " : Jesus cut his wsy forward not i only physically, but mentally (wis- dom), spiritually (in favor with God) and socially (favor with man). There comes a time in life when if we are going to learn something (say , the .Greek lan ' guage. or the guitar) we Just have " to get down and dig. The growing Christian' will grow In mind as . well as in body. Ignorance la not a Christian ideal The same is true socially. Our Lord was popular, in the good sense. People loved him. But Luke suggests that this wss Dot something that Just cam to him. ha had to work at this too. ' (Some .persons are born more sociable- by nature than others; but .even the shy ones, the awkward ones, can learn the fine art of getting along with other persons, If they try. U they never try,. this, side pt their natures, of their, lives, s wOl . be 'stunted. Even -the . spiritual life doet not grow with out effort We grow through those old-fashioned but never out-dated ways, which' Jesus used and which we can use too; prayer, study of God's word,. and. service in His name. WC never grow spiritually by magic, never by "wishing," only by working , with, God., r. ,, HhiI h mIIms MrrrlrtiUS kf the t.-io l ChrlMlu . ., Nf Unl VmmnM rkrs Chrlat. In In l. . A.

God honors those who honor him, but they who disregard His laws shall go down into the grave of national oblivion, unwept, unhonored and unsong.

Ps. 9:17. t ; ; 1 " ' ' Our American forefathers have bequeathed to us a Glorious Heritage. As we come again to our National Independence Day, the fourth of July, we should "take stock," and recount, the priceless blessings that have been vouchsafed to us at the cost of countless sacrifices, by those,, who freely shed their blood, counting their lives not dear unto themselves, that liberty and freedom not perish from pur midst" ' " Our forebears landed in this country upon their knees in an attitude of prayer of thanksgiving for a safe ; Journey across the seas, and for divine guidance in their attempt to fashion a new home and nation on this North American Continent This is a good time to "take courage," and .with fresh determination resolve continue to be a "Nation whose God America believes that "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" shall be granted unto every man.
