We pass a place many times without noticing anything dif ferent about its appearance and bingo—all of a sudden it registers . Such a thing hap pened today in passing Bob and Nedra Watson’s home on Rhododendron. It was a large brown inconspicuous house not too long ago and today it is a beautiful, gray shingled, old fashioned home overlook ing the lake nice. Although air conditioning is comfort able for a short time and has been a welcome relief from this week’s heat ...I wonder tnose who work in an air conditioned place all day don’t suffer when the day is over and they must return to the outside temperature ...soak up all the sun you can because, whether we like it or not, the summer is nearly gone ..in spite of rumors here and there that the summer business has been “off” all indications are that the building- of large expensive homes is taking a forward leap and there are even rumors of possible new business buildings soon and speaking of buildings, have you seen the progress being made on the new rest home on the Montreat road. New Broom Verlon Morris, newest ad dition to the local police force, seems to have an eye for the unusual or suspicious. At any rate the home boys are proud that one of their members was able to apprehend the bad boy from Lejeune. Con gratulations to Mr. Morris.

Head BRING THIS AD Before August 22nd 1963 i' make for increased interest in civic problems and their settle" ment. One such problem came up this week when a speeding car rounded a curve too fast and cut a flip near the lake section. This drag racing is going on late at night and in the very early morning hours causing con cern to the residents as well as wakeful hours and loss of sleep This is a problem which should come before the board for suggestions and some solution. We are will ing to air your grievances ex- \ pressed through your letters, but this solves nothing. If you feel that you have a gripe ! coming, tell it to the board ! who can really do something for you. Under Cover: We aren't trying to hide by moving to the inside. The new masthead planned for this week is to accomodate the two column pictures which sometimes need to go with the story and because some how it has never seemed ap propriate for the front page. This way Lib, Jack, all the correspondents and I will be together, and the front page will be free for all the real news. The new “dark" look in our paper is not only easy in reading but to make our headlines more outstanding. The unusual (to us) arrange ment of pictures on the front (or had you noticed?) is an idea from one of the finest weeklies in the country. Scorched Greenwoods: No, this is no refenence to forest fires but to the Green wood family who wrote from Oklahoma City that the tem perature is hovering around 102, the boys are in the pool to keep cool and Ma and Pa just sit! We have thought many times this week that we’d bet they wished to h*' home where at least they could be cool in the evening and at night. New Ma»theads Before the ‘Boss” left we were speaking of the ‘‘new I look” for our paper and of I the possibility of having small pictures for our columns. While he has been gone we have tried to prepare these creations. “Reflections” brings to mind either a mirror or a lake to cast the reflection, the nearest we could come was to reflect the boss to you from a framed mirror. Town Topics with the skyline back ground seemed appropriate but Lib says the skyscrapers should be whacked off to more nearly resemble our town skyline. Think we’ll leave them, maybe someday we will have something high er than three stories. AUDITING rn BOOKS?] 6 IT APPEARS this man could use some tranquil izing drugs.

The deep er question is one which we shall not pursue here: Can we believe that the God whom Christ re vealed to us would for any reason command murder of this sort? Or if He did not really mean it, what kind of God would perpetrate such a cruel joke? Many Dr. Foreman Christians, when they stop to think about this, find themselves in a terrible dilemma; and so they take refuge in calling the story a kind of parable rather than literal fact. A believing men's eenviotien Let us come down to a more manageable, even if still difficult problem. Let us think about the state of Abraham’s mind. This good man had a conviction that the same God who had promised him a son was now commanding him to sacrifice that son just as (in those days) a bull or a cow would have been sacrificed, by knife and fire, a burnt offering in honor of God. The difficulty is now not theological but psychological. How could a good man believe such a thing? If a good man today were caught making an attack with a deadly weapon on his own son. and if he told the police to leave him alone, because ‘‘God ordered me to do this,” the police would turn him over to a psychia trist. For today any man who would explain a killing he was about to commit, on the ground that this was God's will, would be regarded as obviously insane. The answer to that is fairly easy if we imagine ourselves back in Abraham’s time and place. Child lacrifice, human sacrifice, was tommon, as the Bible and archae ilogy testify. Indeed, Abraham’s neighbors might easily have jeer ed at him for having a cheap re ligion because he had not sacri ficed his son. Anyhow, Abraham lived at a time when such an idea as God's commanding him to sac rifice Isaac could not be brushed off (as it would by any sane man today) as a ciazy notion. He real ly believed that was what his God wanted. . A believer's oonseienoe Abraham lost no time doing what he firmly believed to be God’s command. Now a great many people have consciences they do not use. “You ought” or "You ought not” are only little buzzing static in the mind, fainter and fainter as time goes on and the person pays less and less at tention to what his conscience is trying to say. The good man lis tens to his conscience; his con ! victions appear in his actions. He is not fond of saying “I know I ought to, but ...” If he knows or believes he ought to, he acts accordingly. We can call this con scientiousness, but we can call it also obedience. So far as the voice of conscience is the voice of God, following the conscience is obey ing the voice of God. It is true, as history shows us, that a man may think an action is good which fu ture centuries will mark down as evil. A believer’s crown This strange story ends with God saying, “I will bless you . . . because you have obeyed my voice.” The story brings out the point that sacrificing his only son was the last thing Abraham wanted to do. It is easy enough to do what is right when that suits our convenience; but when what 1 want and what I ought to do are not the same thing, then it’s an other story. Abraham has been honored around the world ever since, because he was one man for whom the number one ques tion always was: Is this the will of God? Does a believing man have any reward except a kind of satisfac ■ tion in having done the right thing? Yes, he may have the re ward Abraham had. Every man has even in this life some particu lar rewards for at least some of the good he has done; and these rewards are not all the same. Abraham was given the promise of a nation descended from him, and of being a blessing to all man kind. This could not come to every one! But isn’t it likely that the best reward he could possibly have was that God approved of him? To be “approved unto God” Is the brightest crown a servant and friend of God can wear.

HOCUTT Pastor, Ridgecrest Baptist Church TEXT; I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by name, am the God of Israel. Isaiah 45-3. The “treasures of darkness” are great gifts promised to God’s people at a time when they are most needed. Do not let your mind dwell upon crime, sin, and terror as darkness falls around you. Instead walk out into the open and look upon the world’s largest stage. All the settings are by God Himself. Thousands of twinkling stars, the beautiful moon, the lighted path called the “milky way”, all that you see, speaks not of darkness but of the assured presence of God. Darkness brings rest to tired bodies, worn weary with labor. Someone has called it, “sweet sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care.” Some of our finest works of art have been created, in the minds of men, as they lay upon their beds awaiting sleep. Some of the finest passages of the Bible came from the darkest periods of persecution. To every man comes the darkness. What about the treasures? Are yours courage, self-control and faith in God? If they are, then you welcome the darkness. If instead you fear every creeping thing, then you need to hear anew the words of Jesus when He sad, “I have loved you with an ever lasting love.” A love that is abundant for the day and the night. Henry Ward Beecher says it this way, “Love is the Seraph, and faith and hope are but the wings by which it flies.” Never a night is too dark for the love of God to shine through. SWANNANOA SI.
