SIDEWALK SALES ?? Friday's sunny weather attracted good crowds
downtown for the annual merchants sidewalk sale. Police guided traffic to
help clear congestion at some intersections which became heavy in the
afternoon.
The story of the "Rich Young
Ruler" (as it is more commonly
known), is one of those stories that
can easily - though not comfortably
- be personalized. Try reading it
sometime and substituting the
pronoun "I" for the young man
who came to Jesus inquiring of
eternal life.
It doesn't take too much imag
ination to hear ourselves saying to
Jesus, "Lord, what remains for me
to do in order to be assured to
eternal life? "We may not verbalize
it very often to our friends and
neighbors, but many of us, like the
young man in the story, are
concerned to find assurance of
eternal life. No pastor who visits the
sick and the dying can be unaware
of that deep concern.
I must assume that the young
man in Matthew 19 was sincere in
his question, yet, at the same time,
there was also at work in him a
certain smug pride. It was the kind
of question which is asked by
someone who anticipates that the
answer is going to be to his favor.
Consciously or unconsciously, he is
not so much asking a question as he
is seeking a "pat on the head."
One of the reasons I say this is
that the young man seems to be so
"wrapped up in himself' that he
misses what Jesus says to him in the
response to his initial question.
"Why do you ask me about what is
good." says Jesus. "One there is
who is good." It is as if Jesus
already knows what is in this man's
mind: he knows the man is rather
proud of his own righteousness. So
he reminds the man that no one but
God alone is perfectly good.
The young man, however, seems
to miss this statement and only
hears Jesus say: "If you would enter
life, keep the commandments"
(19-17). "Which?" replies the
young man. still smugly, for when
Jesus digests the Ten Command
ments, the young man is eager to
reply: All these I have observed;
what do I still lack?" (19-20). The
question he asks skirts the edge of
being an outright boast.
With his amazing insight into
this young man, Jesus challenged
him in the one area where the man
was extremely vulnerable: his love
of material possessions. We must
realize that Jesus is not laying down
this challenge for all Christians, for
material possessions are not the
stumbling block for some that they
are for others. He challenged this
young man to give away all he had
because he knew this was the man's
weakness. He really did want
eternal life (just as we do), but he
wanted something even more (just
as many of us do.)

Higher Cotton Prices
Prompts Contracting
Higher cotton prices during June
resulted in a moderate increase in
forward crop contracting, accord
ing to USDA's Cotton Classing
Office in Raleigh.
Slightly more than one - third of
North Carolina's 70,000 planted
acres has been contracted through
June 30. This represents an in
crease in contracting of about 20
per cent over May. No contracting
was reported through this date last
year. Contracting figures were
obtained through informal contacts
with farmers, ginners, merchants
and other cotton leaders.
Contract prices received were up
sharply. Basis contract terms were
mostly 300 points off December
futures, basis grade 41, staple 34.
December futures prices rose about
1500 points during the month of
lune. CCC loan differentials apply
to other grades on basis contracts.
"All in grade" contract terms
ranged from 65.00 to 75.00 cents
per pound. Cotton reduced in
grade is discounted 100 points.
Acceptable mike range is 3.4 to
5.1.
The 70,000 planted acres reflects
no change from the April planting
intentions, according to USDA
Crop Reporting Board. National
plantings of 11,711,000 acres in
dicate an increase of about 520,000
acres over the April intentions.
