In the schools and colleges this
is mid-year. When the year is di
vided into two semesters, the sec
ond semester is about to begin.
A goodly number of the Senior
boys and, girls, both in high scho
ol and colleges, are concerned
with what they are going to da
when they graduate in June. Will
they go to college or professional
school? What will they do aftjtr
that? If they don’t go to college,
what kind of a job will they try
to get? With some, marriage is
uppermost in mind. When can
they get married? A great num
ber of perplexities cluster around
the boy-girl relationships. It is
not surprising thiat many young
people, therefore, feel that life is
baffling. Some, giving up hope of
finding any sense in it, decide
that the best thing to do is to
forget all the serious problems
and go out for a good time, re
gardless of consequences.
I well sympathize with those
who feel that there are so many
frustrations and so many contra
dictions that the pursuit, of. a
clear single purpose is .hopeless.
To them I would declare, humbly
but with real assurance: there Is
away that leads to where you
can see sense. There is a awy for
you and away for me, away for
everybody. Perhaps we cannot
arrive there with the speed that
an active youth can, with two
bounds, get from the ground floor
up to the second floor. But there
IS away, if we will take it.
In order to go this way, a first
requirement is that we take life
seriously. We will have to part
company from those who are out
solely for a good time, regardless
of the consequences.
It may be well to remark right,
here that there are old people,
too, who, in their own way, stop
taking life seriously. I have in
mind- the kind of pld person who
has lived a splendid life, had
good health and worked hard, but
now sick or disabled, or laid aside
and not even able any longer to
look after himself. He finds that
one of the hardest things he has
ever had to do in all his life is
to submit to being waited on by
others. Discouraged, he concludes
that he is no good, and he would
like to die. I would suggest that
this is one particular way in

s which life may be belittled.
Taking life seriously means re
■ alizing that is is —a precious
. thing. It is a gift of God, a treas
* ure of incalculable worth, which
* we are to prize and u."e to best
1 advantage till the moment when
i with our last breath we surrend
i er it back to Him who made it
i and gave it to us. Being a burden
on others, when circumstances
necessitate it, is a situation some
people must learn to accept and, J
with thankfulness, see it as a*
stretch of that “way” that I
talked about above. Being a bur
den on others gracefully can be
turned into as lovely a consum
mation of life achievement as is
to be found in all the world.
May our young people, there,
fore, set forth on the Way ser
iously. Take account of those
things you cfen feel sure of. I
Imagine that most of the boys
and girls of ;* our community
would consent that the life that
is theirs is God-given. Each one
of us is God’s handiwork, and
our being here in the world is in
order that we may make the
highest possible use of our pow
ers and opportunities. Not every
body has the same gifts or oppor
tunities, and therefore there are
some who, instead of appreciating
what they have, bemoan what
they do not have. They may even
( be resentful or bitterly angry
against those who have what they
do not have. Such reactions to the
inequalities of life are NOT a
part of the True Way. Allowing
oneself to get into such a mood
is definitely a MISSING of the
Way, and, ala_i, many in the
world have missed It. '——-*
The young person who is sure
of God and who knows he is
f what he Is because God made him
* and who is persuaded that every
* situation in life may be turned
1 in some way to some good advan
-1 tage is well equipped to go forth
' into the world. He stands in a
- position where he may assuredly
■ step forward into the Way.
* Occasionally there is a man or

5 the course his life will follow in
5 the future, but in the exjierience

My Anlw&i
by BUly Graham ’"v"
QUESTION: Nobody in our
family has ever been baptized.
Now thiit I have been converted,
I want to, but my parents forbid
me. What shall I do?
ANSWER: As a Christian, you
must always obey God rather
than man. But God told in His ,
word that children should obey
their parents. The Lord knows
your heart and your desire, and
your desire to acknowledge Him
in baptism is accepted when there
are conditions that make the
impossible. The full responsibil
ity is upon your parents in this
matter. , ,jn,
Being a Christian always is a
condition of the heart and. mind.
-We take Christ by* an act of
faith, and the Bible' teaches that
a “man is justified by faith”. The
act of being baptized is an act .of
obedience. You disobey God only
when it is possible to obey Him
and you refuse to do so. We are
not saved by baptism or by any
other religious form or' ordinan
ce. We are saved by Christ Who
died for our sins and rose agtfin
for our justification. As much as
you can, obey God, but do not feel
that your salvation is dependent
upon any outward form.
career of Mr. Arthur Gfnet, pre
sident of the Greyhound Bus
Lines. I would infer from the
story that when he was a youth
Mr. Genet nevfer dreamed that
one day he would be the head of
one of our great transportation
corporations. And even when he
had come well into the prime of
life, his chief business was not
that of being the executive of a
transportation system. He was a
financial and accounting expert,
working in the fields of the coal
and iron industry. This may ill
ustrate how going along the Way,
that I have talked about, leads
J.o many unexpected issues, but
always to new opportunities.
As a youth I was fascinated by
navigation. Nothing thrilled me
more than the thought of a ship
that, in those days without many
| radio facilities or radar, could go
even days without any sight of
other ships or of land or of sun
or moon" and stars, and yet ar
’ rive just where it wanted to be.
Os course with the many wonder

available tdoay, it may seem less
marvellous, but yet it iy marvell

I can also reach its proper desti

i least not appear to open). But it
