b Left Chat BY MABEL B. JORDAN PERSONALITY Personality is what man seems to be when he thinks in his three dimensional consciousness; in dividuality is what he really is when he thinks in his unlimited con sdousness. Personality is also the part of us that is governed by our selfish motives, it strives to be great in the eyes of the world. Impersonali ty is a spiritual approach of life and it leads to true greatness. Andrew Carlson HUMILITY Humility gives us dignity and poise. Not the dignity and poise that is put on from outside, but the kind that flows from within. Charles Fillmore EGOISM AND EGOTISM True greatness will not be achieved by either egoism or egotism. But is achieved through a recognition of one’s true spiritual worth directed in service to society. Clinton Bernard UNDERSTANDING When we affirm understanding in stead of misunderstanding we see things in a clearer, more loving way. We release criticism, fear and doubt, and we are filled with trust, love and understanding. Unity Through love and understanding we easily can understand anyone and all things In a clearer and loving way. Today 80ME0NE CARES So many people need us, yet there are precious few to do the work. So many old and lonely who hunger for a touch, to let them know they are lov ed. It doesn’t take a mountain, but Just the little things which warm the hearts of others. * SancieE. King LOVING WORDS Loving words will cost but little journeying up the hills of life. But they malm the weak and weary stronger, braver for the strife. Never was a kind word wasted. Never was one said in vain. Anonymous HOPE Hope is searching for release. Hope is happiness and joy. Hope is looking for a dream that someday will come true, when your days are sad and blue. Hope is wishing for a star that will bring peace and light. Hope is striving for love to uphold you day »«vt night. Hope C. Oberhelman LOVING WORDS AND TIME Take time to speak a loving word, where loving words are seldom heard, and it will linger in the mind and gather others of its kind. Their music will come echoing back. Take Time FAITH Beyond the physical and mental realm lies the infinity of faith. When we have reached the limit of logic, reason and understanding it is then we can rise up on the wings of faith and find that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Our Daily Bread THINGS WHICH ARE LITTLE Little things often have far reaching consequences. We should not neglect little duties and small kindnesses that await our attention on the road of life, for by trading them with care we will find many Jewels of true reward sparkling in our future. Big things are obvious; it is the little things that often cause us to stumble. r Our Daily Bread WHEN THINGS GO WRONG Let us hide our "thorns” on roses and our signs in golden song, and our “crosses” in a crown of smiles whenever things go wrong. Helen S. Rice THE CLOCK OF LIFE The clock of life is wound but once and no one has the power to tell just where the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Tomorrow holds no pro mise for the clock may then be still. Sara Tarascio MEN ARE FOUR He who knows not and knows not, he knows not. Shun him. He who knows not and knows he knows not, he is a child. Teach him. He who knows and knows not he knows, he is asleep. Wake him. He who knows and knows he knows, he is wise. Follow him. Arabian Proverb HAPPINESS You can have real happiness. It is available for everyone. It is accessi ble to each individual. Anyone who will go for happiness, affirm it and proceed along the lines best designed to bring it to pass, shall have it. You can have real happiness now and for always. Dr. Norman V.

Emerson Bishops Establish Aid To East Europe - WASHINUTUN, u.w.—me Catholic Bishops of the United States have established an annual national collection to aid the church in Central and Eastern Europe and the USSR. Though optional, the collection is ex pected to be taken up in most dioceses, with the timing of the col lection set early in 1991. This special national collection is part of an extensive three-year pro gram to aid the church in Eastern Europe—to train seminarians and lay leaders, to reach out to young people, revive Catholic charities, and renew programs of religious education and evangelization. Pope John Paul II commented that the changes in Eastern Europe “signal a new epoch" and ‘‘place before all of us the great and impor tant work of reconstruction, not onl> material but also moral and spiritual reconstruction.” According to Ar chbishop John L. May of St. Louis, chairman of the bishops’ committee that oversees the campaign, “Yean of suffering under an abiding in tolerance of religion has left the church without the most basic tools ol evangelization and pastoral life.” Father R. George Sarauskas, direc tor of the newly created Office to Ait the Catholic Church in Central ant Eastern Europe and the USSR, sayi that "The Catholic Church standi poised at this critical moment ii history to provide the leadershi) necessary to meet the tremendous needs of East Europeans and hel| build a promising future.” As War Rages In The Mideast: Many Turn To Religion As The Answer ._j. .. _ . _.. _ . .. . ui uic r ci a urn vruu this week, Californians prayed for peace and purchased spiritual sym bols while seeking comfort through religion. Jewish students sounded a ram’s horn usually reserved for holiday worship, Buddhists gathered to chant for peace and Christians held prayer vigils. At one religious store customers were snatching up rosaries. . The Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove responded to the outbreak of war with “Operation Desert Prayer,” which includes four daily services and round-the-clock prayer and counseling for people of all faiths. “There is so much division, we felt offering prayer services on a daily basis would allow unity through prayer,” church spokeswoman Beth Owens said. The church, site of the Rev. Robert Schuller’s “Hour of Power” televi sion broadcast, has drawn hundreds of people to the special services an nounced in a full-page newspaper advertisement last Friday, Owens said. Students of the Rabbinical School at the University of Judaism gathered Friday morning to blow the shofar, a ram’s horn sounded during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. For Deborah Schloss, it sym bolized a cry of anguish. “For me, it means that these are unsettling times,” Schloss said. “In ancient times it was blown at a time of war.” As Israeli officials pondered a icapuiiBc w ui Iraqi niiwue vtuiagc, Rabbi Leonard Rosenthal said the Persian Gulf would be a major topic of the usual Sabbath service at Tifereth Israel Synagogue in San Diego. “Judaism never has turned the other cheek,” the rabbi said. “When modern pharaohs rise up, it’s our obligation to see they are brought down and put into place.” Customers came in greater num bers to Our Lady’s Gift Shop in( Hollywood to purchase rosaries, crucifixes, medals and holy cards et ched with prayers and pictures of Jesus and Mary. “The first thing on their minds is the war and peace,” said eo-owner Joanne Perry. Customers bought rosaries that cost from 45 cents to $300. “We’ve increased our prayers since the crisis,” Perry said. “We’ve had customers who have told us about their families there, sons, daughters, husbands, relatives and Mends.” In Riverside County, Pastor Cook Barela said his non-denominational Sunnyslope Community Church would hold prayer vigils every Fri day night until Operation Desert Storm is over. “I’ll be praying very much for those soldiers on the front line,” said Berela, a Vietnam veteran. “There are a lot of wives and husbands that have been left behind who need spiritual help and we’ll offer them guidance.” Tom Chabolla, director of the office of justice and peace in the Roman ubumuic nrcnuiucese ui lam Angeies, ■aid attenance at weekly! liturgy ser vices has increased significantly since the outbreak of waif. “People are taking every oppor tunity to be with others add Join with prayer,” Chabolla said, 'fit’s a time we need to search for support not only from within but with other people.” Buddhists of the Nichiren ShosRuof America sect increased the number of meetings at homes and community centers where they gather to chant for peace, said A1 Albergate, assis tant director of community relations. we Know irom me cans we ve been getting that our members are praying for a peaceful solution and in some caes are getting together on more of a spontaneous basis,” Albergate said. At the Islamic Center of Southern California, Muslims planned to men tion the conflict at their regular Fri day evening services. “In light of what’s happening you can expect most of the discussion to be on the Middle East,” said Nadir EUara, a center volunteer. Negotiations Have Failed As War Heats-Up In Gulf IfnUIllilUAVtl, A/.V.-MW»-UAIHU«V pleas for continued negotiations in the Persian Gulf having failed, United Methodists Jan.j 17 offered prayers for a speedy end to the con flict with a minimum loss of life and destruction on both sides. It was generally agreed that Sad dam Hussein had to be dealt with, but some persons contacted by United Methodist News Service questioned whether all diplomatic avenues had been exhausted. “We should have tried other diplomatic and econolmic oppor tunities,” said Bishop Leroy C. Hodapp, Indianapolis, president of the Council of Bishops. “Since that obviously is not the case now, I hope the whole thing can be settled quickly with as little involvement of ground forces as possible. Injustice must be uouv wiui, out i wouiu nope in me future it could be done in some other way than militarily.” James W. Holsinger, Jr., chief medical director of the U.S. Depart ment of Veterans Affairs in Washington and lay leader of the Virginia Annual Conference, said, “Force is the last resort we have in dealing with international affairs, but since we live in an imperfect world, the use of force to maintain civility among nations sometimes is re quired.” Sue Robinson, a Board of Global Ministries’ area executive for Africa, the Middle East and Europe, said she was “dismayed” at the U.S. attack. “We need to withdraw most of the troops and let other nations, par ticularly the Arab nations, take leadership in negotiating.” Laodicea United CHURCH OF CHRIST 8004 Rook Quarry Road R.C. 17610 anai 068-6704 ward And Outward” r MmI Sunday kieUI Worship SunOsy 11iOO AM Proyor UMUna Woo. 71OO P.N.

He could not allow His disciples to continue thinking that Hls purpose was to set up an earthly kingdom, or they would see Hls death as failure. He wanted them to understand what was about to take place so they would see that the events would be for their ad vantage and that after His death their responsibilities would In crease rather than end. Christ told of a nobleman tak ing a Journey to enlarge his sphere of authority. Ten loyal followers were delegated the responsibility to manage some of the nobleman’s wealth. Others rejected his rule. In fact, most of those under his dominion hated him and denounced his reign. Christ desired that His disciples learn thr.ough his parable to be diligent about the work He had called them to do. even though other might deny His reign and even though it might appear that He was far away. Iliey were not simply to await His return; they were to “occupy,” or to be engaged in HU business. If the dtisens hated the nobleman, they must have hated all those who remained loyal to him. Yet even in the midst of anx iety and rejection, the servante were to carry on their master’s business. He expected them to be faithful in the face of rejection, doubt and hardship. Christ intended that His dUciples continue His work even in HU absence. But He left them no illusions about being ap preciated. Christ warned HU dUciples that the world would hate them, Just as It hated Him. Jesus told the results of the nobleman’s investment in three cases. 8ome ofhe servants did ex ceedingly well, represented by the servant who earned 19 talents. Other servants did moderately well, represented by a servant who earned five talents. But there was one servant who did nothing. He was cautious, afraid to lose hls master’s money. He kept It carefully pro tected so that the master would have precUely what was hls. But he did not do anything with it. The problem with thU ap proach was the servant’s attitude about his master.
