All Eyes Are On Christians
The story is told of Branch
Rickey, one of baseball’s
greats, in an incident that
bears repeating. It was after
his: first game in
Philadelphia. The team was
riding in their omnibus going
from the ball park to their
hotel. The bus turned down
Chestnut Street and there
was a great crowd in front of
them. Evidently there was a
fight, or a fire, or an acci-
dent. The curiosity got the
best of the young ballplayer,
and he jumped off the bus and
ran ahead to see what was
happening.
The crowd was composed
of ball fans reading the
details of the afternoon’s
game from a bulletin board.
Army Band
To Perform
At KM Park
From Page 3-B
The band became the 30th
Infantry Division Band and
served with the ‘Old
Hickory’’ Division in
England, France, Belgium,
Holland and Germany. The
band served in five cam-
paigns during World War II,
capturing nearly one hundred
prisoners, and was awarded
the Presidential Unit Cita-
tion, the French Fourragere,
and Belgian Fouragere.
After the war it was
redesignated as the 94th Ar-
my Band and again stationed
in Raleigh, but it was soon
changed again to the 30th In-
fantry Division Band. It re-
mained under this designa-
tion until the 30th Division
was deactivated in 1973. AT
that time it received the pre-
sent designation, 440th Army
Band, which was an active
Army Band that served with
distinction at Fort Bragg frm
1950 until 1970.

A little girl was helping her
mother work in her flower garden.
Watering a beautiful plant, she
cried, “Mom, I know why flowers
grow.”
“Why?” she asked.
“Because,” she answered, “they
want to get out of the dirt.”
A Christian has his roots on
this earth, but he has his heart
set on things above. He gets his
cues of behaviour from the Word,
not the world.
He values the Bible above
books, character above con-
venience, God above gold, loyalty
above license, self-control above
self-indulgence.
The best way to live in this
world is to live above it. Be like
the flowers - grow to get out of
the dirt.

A hasty glance at the record
showed one thing above all
else; there was his name and
after it a record of the kind of
game he played—his hits,
runs and errors all there for
everyone to see. Branch
Rickey testified that he never
had such a sobering ex-
perience before. He realized
right from the start of his
career that what he did, and
how he did it was of the ut-
most interest to thousands of
baseball devotees.
Christian, all eyes are on
you. God sees the very core of
your heart! People only see
the motions of your body, and
the words of your mouth. The
lovers of this world, the
followers of the devil have
their eyes on you! Be sure
you play life fairly, justly,
honestly and with the utmost
integrity. Be clean, loyal, and
efficient in all that you do for
the Kingdom of God. Their
future depends on how you
conduct yourself and your af-
fairs.
The salvation that we find
in Christ Jesus is not the end
of the story.... The rest of the
story is our knowing that “We
are as an epistle open and
read of all men.” We have a
great need to accept our
response-abiliby...our ability
to respond to the whole Word
of God that calls us to a
lifestyle of ‘“‘perfection’.
The writer to the Hebrews
says it this way: “We are
compassed about with so
great a cloud of witnesses.”
12:1. “Now the God of peace,
that brought again from the
dead our Lord Jesus, that
great shepherd of the sheep,
through the blood of the
everlasting covenant make
you perfect in every good
work to do his will, working in
you that which is well pleas-
ing in His sight, through
Jesus Christ; to whom be
glory for ever and ever.
Amen’’ 13:20,21
