WANTED: MEN AT HOME
Ten soldiers volunteei-ed to
clean out camping area at Camp
Carlson. Every one of these soldiers
is a returning serviceman,
with over two years service overseas.
In addition to this, not one
of these men is from this city;
not only that, not one o' them is
from North Carolina.
At the invitation of C. W.
Fairley, Boy Scout field scout director,
these soldiers inspected
the camp. On seeing the wild,
confused condition of the camp;
they were forced to_ask: "Is this
what we were fighting for? Is
this what we spent all those dismal,
dangerous months overseas
for?" Then, in disgust, they, offered
their services. For a week
these gallant boys from other
states worked at a task which
rightly belonged to us.
For 1020 man-hours these soldiers,
who have already done
their part, worked at our job; in
addition to their own assigned
task as night guards. Then one
of the boys offered to act as life
guard) while the girls were at
camp. *
We should be more than
ashamed when we, as hosts, turn
out to be guests in our own
house. Yes, what were they fighting
for? Did these boys serve in
vain for that brighter world of
tomorrow? What have we done
on the home front for the boys
and girls to make that world a
certainty? Why should men who
have spent so much time overseas,
putting even their lives at
stake, have to return to this kind
of condition?
It is not their camp, for they
' are not even citizens of this state.
THE FUT1
It is the camp ot the natives of
Greensboro, and the citizens of
North Carolina. It is for our boys
and girls to enjoy. Therefore we
must give our time to the upkeep
and care of the camp. Our
children, who are to benefit from
it are to be the future citizens
of this city. Now, however, we
must remain at the helm to secure
that future.
.. Wake up, men of Greensboro,
it's your job. not returning servicemen's.
We have pride in our
city, we have faith in our future,
but we must have work NOW,
and you are the ones to give it.
Many of you have boys and girls
who are scouts; most of them
want to go to camp this summer.
Do you want your boy or girl to
attend a camp which is overgrown
with weeds and underbrush?
Do you want them to
come home vowing never to attend
another camp? Why put
this blight on them?
There is more work to l>e done
at the camp. It's not too late' for
you to volunteer some of your
spare time for the enjoyment of
our sons and daughters. Let us

SHARING IN GOD'S
ONGOING WORK
Golden Text: God saw everything!
that he had made, and, behold,
it was very good.?Genesis 1:31
GOD'S IXI.LOW WORKJIHX
By Halfoitl K. Liiccoclt

IN THIS LESSON on God'sj
creation of the world let us givej
our thought to two aspects of:
the subject. The first is appre-|
dating, with all our powers.!
God's creation. The second is
sharing rn God's creative work,,
which is still going on.
A man once said, with a real!
flash of wisdom:
The kind of judgment day that.)
at times I am afraid of is one in I
??iiicu i snail be standing before'
a great white throne, and I shall j
hear a voice asking ine, "Well,
i what did you think of my
I world?" And I shall have to anI
swer: "I'm sorry. I didn't really
see it. I was busy telephoning." |
Exaggerated, no doubt, but
does it not suggest some questions?
How closely or how well
do you see God's world? Do you
pay God: the compliment of actually
looking at this marvelous
creation of his, looking at it with
careful and lovtng eyes, until its
order and beauty lead you into
a reverent worship of its great
Creator? Or do you hurry thru'
it with eyes blind to its wonders,
because, as the man just quoted
said, you wete "busy telephoning?"
A love of nature so real that
we actually look at H is a genuine
religious experience. We can
find an approach to God through
I nature.
This truth Is expressed in two
of our ' familiar .hymns. One
churchgoer said to his pastor, "I
like to sing the astronomy hymn
and the chemistry hymn every
few . months." What hymns do
you suppose he meant by those
unusual titles?
The "astronomy hymn" is Ad
I
JRE OUTLOOK, GREENSBO:
dison's great hymn about the
stars: "The Spacious Firmament
On High" (66 In The Methodist
Hymnal). The hymn expresses an
experience ot God through appreciating
the order and harmony
of the heavens, in which the
stars proclaim:
Forever singing, as they shine;
"The hand that made 'is rs divine."
I3y the "chemistry hymn"
the church goer, meant Robert
Grant's hymn "Oh. Worship the
King, All-glorious Above (4 in
The Methodist Hymnal). The
whole hymn is a stirring expression
of the wonders of creation
and the creator God. This wonder
reaches to the chemistry of
rain?the wonder of God's buuntiful
care shown in the distilling
] of water from vapor: 'And
sweetly distills in the dew and
(lie rain."
What advice could you give to
one who wanted to enjoy Aid apprecijate
nature study? Where
would be some good places to
. begin? What spiritual results
I can come from a love and underI
standing of the natural world?
. Tennyson, in his noem "The
] Higher Pantheism," points out
j one pathway to God through love I
of creation:
The sun, the moon, the stars,
j the seas, the hills, and the
plains?
Are not these. O soul, the vision
of Him who reigns?
D.d Jesus ever notice the heap-,
ties of nature? Give instances if|'
you recall them. Is there any evi-j,
dence that he ever looked at a
flower or a bird? Did they ever
suggest anything of the love of |
God for man? ,
The second aspect of God as <
creator concerns not merely our 1
appreciation of the wonders of
the earth and universe; it eon- :
corns our actions as well. This
call for action comes from the ,
truth that God, as creator,- has t
not finished the job; he is still i
creating. The earth is not finish- i
ed, as a machine is finished; it is i
still being renewed, changed. It! t
is a living, growing thing. 1
In September of last year the 1
northern part of the UnitedStates
was shaken by a slight 1
ca.viKiuuxe. in an editorial about]
it the New York Times said, "To|
the scientist this movement ofi
i rock under the surface of the!
earth means that the earth is not!
yet finished as a piece of sculpture."
In other words, It is still
being made. The Creator is still
creating.
The practical issue of this
Issue is found in Paul's affirma]
tion "We are God's fellowworkI
ers." This is true of the physical
earth. The farmer co-operates
with nature and God in creating
a harvest. The engineer is a fellow
laborer with God, creating
a new earth, harnessing power,
irrigating deserts, making more
abundant living for the huruan
family. This truth gives dignity
to labor and a deepened sense of
vocation.
In the larger sense of the words
we are fellow laborers with God
if we choose to co-opcratc in the
making of a new world, a better
' society, a kingdom of righteous!
ness, love and peace here on
earth. We desperately need a
new way of life, literally a way
of life rather'than a way of fleath,
which Is what we have now with
| recurring wars and: desolation.
In the shaping of that better way)
