Your assumption, very likely would be that what you would receive for your money would be a bottle of pills, capsules, or some medicinal formula from your local pharma cist. If, instead of receiving some kind of pharmaceutical product, how ever, you were to be given a piece of paper upon which was inscribed various passages of scripture ? such as those listed above ? you would probably feel you had been cheated. After all, we're a society that pops pills, not scriptures, to deal with our ills. A man suffering from a very serious disease came to a physician friend of mine, proclaiming, "I'll do anything to be cured of this condition!" The physician outlined a program of various practices and disciplines which would have sub stantially altered the patient's life style. The program included only a minimal amount of medication. Although the prognosis without this program was "terminal," the man who had said he'd "do anything" refused the program that was proposed. He had been looking for a pill, not a program. He wanted to be healed, but he didn't want to have his life changed. The Bible gives us many pre scriptions for the kind of life all of us say we would "give anything" to have. Perhaps one reason we do not take them seriously is that they seem too simple, too commonplace. In 2 Kings 5 we find the fascinating story of Naaman the Syrian general whose career is threatened by leprosy. Journeying to Israel to seek healing from the Prophet Elisha, the great general is contemptuous of Elisha's command to "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored..." He is on the verge of going back to Syria when his servants come to him and reason: "My father, if the prophet had commanded you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much rather, then, when he says to you 'Wash, and be clean'?" (5:8-14). So too. when the writer of Acts spells out the simple resources which made great the life of the apostolic Church ? "they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers" (2:42) ? we tend to dismiss them because they do not seem very unique or dramatic. Yet it was because of that simple prescription of the ordered life together that we also read that "many wonders and signs were done through the apostles" (2:43). The prescription for a life of spiritual power and peace is no secret and it is never beyond our means if we reallv want it. Giving The Right Time Of Day No Longer An American Problem by Robert C. Radcliffe National Geographic News Service We are used to it. now. But it was "contrary to nature" 95 years ago when Americans turned their backs on the sun and reset their watches. That was in 1883 when Ameri cans joined other countries in dividing up the world so everyone could keep in step with the quickening pace of the times. Railroads and the telegraph were shrinking the world, today made even smaller by jet airliners, the telephone, radio, and televisoion. So. way back then, the world was cut up into time zones. 24 of them. City Council (Continued from Page 1) tion of the cemetery. flh The board approved the pur chase of an engine for a Chevrolet pumper at the Raeford Fire De partment. The board was informed that all but 2 percent of city taxes over the last 10 years have been collected, and the city manager commended the department for a job well done. On a request by Councilman Morris, the board approved free taps for water and sewer service for the new Scout Hut located across from the Civic Center. The board voted to hold its meetings 30 minutes earlier. In accordance with that vote, the next meeting of the council was set for 7 p.m. on October 2. Around Town (Continued from Page 1) furnished the hut and lot. but donations were made by many business firms for this project. When the work is done I will try to get a list and run them in this column so that you can express ke S. outing will in yeafs to come nuxc them an assetl to this community. The life we point in the right direction today will be point ing others in a direction tomorrow. each spanning 15 degrees of longi tude. And everyone reset his watch. It was about time. For. according to the National Geographic Society, in those days nobody ever really knew exactly what time it was. People followed the clues of nature--sunrise. high noon, and sunset--to tell time. UN REGULAR REGULATORS Jewelers took their own readings of the local sun time, and it wasn't unusual for neighbors' timepieces to be many minutes apart because they had set them by the different jewelers' regulators. New York and many other cities had a 2-Vj-foot time ball hoisted atop a pole on a tall building's rooftop and visible for miles. If you wanted to set your watch according to citywide local time, you kept your eye on the time ball. When it dropped down the pole, it was exactly noon. A hundred years ago. Michigan had 27 local times in different communities across the state. Wis consin 38. Illinois 27. and Indiana 23. Sun time changes at the rate of one minute every 13 miles as the sun seemingly slides across the sky from east to west. It didn't seem to matter much that the time was different down the road apiece until railroads came along and started to move passengers far out of their hometown local times. 100 NOONTIMES Adding to the confusion, trains ran on the local time of the biggest city on the track. Across the country, railroads used some 100 such local times. A traveler from Maine to California would have to reset his watch 20 times to keep up with the local railroad time. People started to say that this was not the way to run things in an up-and-coming nation. The rail roads soon backed an idea put forth by Charles F. Dowd who had worried about the problem while prinicpal of a ladies' seminary in Saratoga Springs. N.Y. His idea was to split the land pretty much the way North Ame rica is divided today, into Atlantic. Eastern. Central. Mountain. Paci fic. Yukon. Alaska-Hawaii, and Bering Standard time zones. At first there was a lot of pulpit sermonizing, street-corner debat ing. and newspaper editorializing. Predicted the Indianapolis Senti nel: "Railroad time is to be the time of the future. The Sun is no longer to boss the job." But on Nov. 18. 1883. Americans adjusted their timepieces. minim iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii minimi ii 111 mi NOTICE All classified advertising must be paid for in advance unless you have an estab lished advertising account.
