Once upon a time, as ye oldsters will
remember, magazine covers and photo
graphic displays in newspapers were
of literary giants, lawmakers, success
ful business men, great doctors, and
great generals. Now, females, scantily
clad, movie stars, or other glamorous
stars of stage and screen, occupy the
magazine covers, and pages of adver
tisement. In this world of glamor and
pleasure p.ne manifestations of the
change in the sense of values which ob
tained sixty years ago. Spiritual values
have been lost in the glitter and the song
of materialism. Some psychologists are
telling us that the rebellion of the youth
of today is a rebellion against hypocrisy
—against people who profess high be
liefs on Sunday and deny them in eve
i-yday practice in their sense of values,
wid in their practices in business, and
Puzzlement And Frustration
The general public is looking at
something which is happening today,
and doing so with amazement, confusion,
and frustration. It is the deep impres
sion made by recent court rulings which
throws a protective covering over crimi
nals, while providing no relief for the
innocent victims of the criminals. To
further complicate matters is the specta
cle is that the profits of crime, enable
criminals to secure the services of the
best legal talent to defend them, and it
is an easy matter for these lawyers to
find loopholes to secure freedom to the
perpetrators of crime. To the astounded
laymen, it looks like a partnership be
tween legal counsel and arch criminals.
Religion In The Here And Note
Last week there was a meeting in
our city of a youth organization called
the Beta society. It is composed of honor
students from all over the state. I had
some opportunity to note their conduct;
and their membership in the society
Is evidence of their scholastic achieve
ments. Their behaviour was in such
marked contrast to what we see on
the screen, and what we read in the
newspapers, that it was a real thrill
to see this fine group in happy enjoy
ment on the occasion of their gathering.
It gave me, not only a feeling of per
sonal pleasure to watch than, but a
renewed faith in the new generation.
They conducted themselves with great
propriety, and I noted on the faces of
many others in the cafeteria where we
were dining, the same deep feeling
of admiration and appreciation of these
fine young people. I know that the
local paper chronicled the meeting, but
I did not see any special comment upon
their fine behaviour. There are many
people today who have high ideals, and
high standards of conduct, but they get
scant notice. It is the few who are
rebellious, and who give the whole lot

Once Upon A Time
in human relationships. Our sense of
values has changed from integrity, moral
and ethical principles, and landed
squarely in the middle of the dollar
sign. It has become, not a question of
right and wrong, but is it profitable?
There have always been people who
followed their own law of self-interest;
but today the vast number of people and
the rapid means erf communication and
involvements in so many aspects of hu
man relationships, that the problems are
multiplied, and more deeply affect our
human society. We should all remember
that one purpose of the Bible is to reflect
human experience, and both Bible and
history tell us that unless a nation is
built upon righteousness that it will
fall. NCD
We make this as an observation, not as
iirect charge. Through reports of trials in
the press we witness the badgering, and
what amounts to persecution, of wit
nesses, who are trying to tell the truth,
but questioned by clever lawyers in
such a manner as to make the witness
make a sMp that might provide the
loophole for a verdict erf not guilty—or
a new trial. Hie excuse for these prac
tices is that they are defending a princi
ple, not a person--a complete denial of
the fact that there is such a thing as
common sense. How can people long
respect the courts if they continue to
rule against the people?

of teenagers a bad reputation. And, it
should also be noted that the rebels
and protesters are parading their own
poverty of ideals, and their lack of
achievements. Noisy paraders are of
ten like the backwoods preacher, who
when his people complained about his
loud preaching replied, "What I lack
in lightning I have to make up in
thunder."
The heart of the vast majority of
our young generation is sound, and they
will acquit themselves well in the tasks
ahead of them. While we regret the bad
examples of the few, we ought to take
heart at the sight of the many.
Last year when a group of this order
met in our city, a hotel clerk told me
that it was the best behaved group that
he had ever seen in the hotel. Our hats
are off to the Betas. NCD
Fame, to the ambitious, is like salt
water to the thirsty the more one
gets the more he wants.
The only time a horse gets frightened
on the road nowadays is when he meets
another horse.
Like an egg, a supposedly hard-boiled
man is yellow inside.
The world will forgive you for being
blue, sometimes forgive you for being
green, but never forgive you for being
yellow.
The one thing worse than a quitter
is the man who is afraid to begin.
Faith is often the boast of the man
who is too lazy to investigate.
Sometimes, when a man is in the pub
lic eye he Is jusrt a cinder.
In their climb to fame, few except
aviators, find it only one flight up.
Often when a person starts to rest
on his laurels he discovers they are
poison ivy.

60 SECOND SERMON

Fred Dodge
TEXT: "The doll man is always sore and the sure man
always dulL" Mencken.
A boring speaker, delivering a dry-as-dust speech, paused
for a sip of water. Again addressing the assemblage he said,
"I pause to ask myself a question."
Instantly one of the crowd shouted,
"And it's a mighty dull answer you'll get!"

A recent survey found that the average person spends
about one-third of his waking hours being bored. Some people
assume a bored pane to appear superior. Actually, If we are
bored with all that there Is in life to be excited about, we
demonstrate our stupidity. Boredom comes frmo within, not
without.
One educator has said that we teach our children to
be bored by planning every detail of their happiness* Then
when they run out of games or people who will make games
for them to play, they are bored. Much of our crime, excess
ive drinking, gambling, use of narcotics, is the result of sheer
boredom. The fault lies with those who were over-anxious
to make others happy by planning every moment for
In our economic lives, our physical lives, our spiritual lives,
we must be free, even encouraged, to do for ourselves. Only
in doing for oneself is growth and healthy maturity found.
