THE WORLDS MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
Thou roar up the tabernacle according to the
fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.
(Exodus 26:30.) Read Exodus 25:1-9 or Corinthians 3:9-
17.
God revealed to Moses the pattern of the tabernacle in all its mi
nute details. Moses’ task was to see that the taibernacle was bulit ac
cording to God’s pattern.
Our heavenly Father has a pattern for our lives. Bishop William
F. McDoi'ell once said to an assembly of students: ‘One of the great
aims of life is to transform truth into action so steadily that there
shall be a constantly increasing capacity for more truth Trans
forming truth into action is the way to form noble character.
We have watched a woman with needle and thread working into
a piece of fine linen the intricate pattern. Our task is to work God’s
pattern into our being, using threads of beautiful ^colors and those
of somber hues. If we follow His pattern we shall not be ashamed
and our character will be pleasing to Him.
PRAYER
Help us this day. O Lord, to remember that Thou hast
a pattern for our lives- Help us from day to day, pa
tiently and faithfully, to build our lives according to
Thy pattern. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
THOUGHT. FOR THE PAY.
I will seek to live out God’s pattern for my life.

REMARKS, SUGGESTIONS OR CBmCUMSt
I have always lived in little
country towns up until six years
ago when they sent me to Atlanta
to a church on the fringe of the
business section. Fifty years ago
it was a bon ton church. But now
it was (pretty much deserted and
I didn't know what to do or how
to get started.
I realized if you were going
to interest people, you had to
know what they were interested
in. So I 'went down to the book
stores and 1 asked the clerks what
were the books the people in At
lanta were buiying and reading.
They showed them to me. Among
the nonfiction - field, the books
having the best sale were those
books dealing with fear and wor
ry and tension ... So I began
ter-ask mysetf the T qvemoTft; ”WHy''
are people so tense and worried
and afraid?”
During the last six years I have
had an average of forty people a
day every day call my office for
an appointment. Of course, I don’t
see forty a day, but I see those
that I can. I get lots of mail from
people all over the country, and
as a result of my contacts with
people, I feel that underneath this
worry and fear and tension is a
feeling of insecurity. And under
neath that, 1 think, is the view
that we, as persons perhaps as at
no other time in the history) of our
country, have been belittled and
cheapened.
t You' remember the ten spies
that went into the Promised
Land? They came (back and said,
“It is a good land. We would like
to possess the land, but there are
giants in the land and we are but
grasshoppers in their sight and in
our sight.” 1 think a lot of people
have been possessed by that grass
hopper philosophy. They look out.
They see opportunities. They see
life, but they feel like they are
just grasshoppers and they wither
before it.
It seems to me this depreciation
has made (the individual) feel
like a grasshopper unable to face
life and, therefore, insecure and
afraid.
One of the things I like to do is
to read the (magazine) advertise
ments. 1 like to study their appeal.
Those ads were written by smart
people, by people who know how
to sell. And they do sell. You know
what they have done, these adver
tisers? They have sold me, they
have sold you, they have sold
America on the principle that if
you get the right kind of washing
machine and electric razor—if you
get enough of these gadgets—you
will have a happy and an abund
ant life.
You know, we believe that! We
believe that and we are (buying
them. But one of these days, as
we go along, something happens.
You can’t meet a (personal) crisis
with a Cadillac. You cannot mend
a broken heart with a refrigerator.
You cannot clean a guilty con
science with a vacuum cleaner.
That is all we have, and tbat is
when we go to pieces. That is
when we have our breakdowns
and that is when we get inta
trouble.
Now, 1 am afraid that a lot of us
have been concentrating on the
things that money can buy, these
mechanical gadgets. We have for
gotten the things money cannot
buy. We have depredated the
personal and we feel unable to
really face life. I think tbat is one
thing that has happened to us.
I will tell you another thing that
has depreciated us aa persons,
made us feel little and insignifi
cant and unable to face life. That
is our knowledge of the
of the univerae. You
pocially do ( notice this in a city.
2 bad an article ia the
time ago on loneliness. I got more
than a thousand letters about it.
Loneliness, that is * one of the"
greatest problems of people to
day.
The thing is that a lot of people
want desperately to somehow get
close to the Father — somebody
who loves them. But they don’t
know how to do it! They feel lost
and they feel afraid. One of the
things that has caused it ... is a
little word iwe don’t use much.
But it is still around—a little word
called sin.
You know, we all have certain
principles. Somebody has said we
have gone back and forth across
the line between right and wrong
so much that we have about worn
it out. But it is still there and we
Tfnfew 'iTTs”' there. All of us" have
certain principles and ideals. We
may differ in them but we all
have some principles, and when
you do something that you think
is wrong, you have wounded your
mind.
The mind is like the body: It
can be wounded. You cut your
finger and it does not hurt much.
But if you don’t watch out, an in
fection will go up your arm and
all over your system and it will
kill you.
Your mind is like that. Sorrow
is a wound. Sorrow cuts deeply
and it hurts terribly, but sorrow
is a clean wound, and unless
something gets in there that ought
not to be there—like bitterness or
resenmtent or self-pity — sorrow
win neal. We may think it will
not, but it will.
But when 1 violate my princi
ples, when I do wrong, it is an
unclean wound and it will not
heal. It will go to my backbone
and take the steel out of it. Noth
ing makes a coward out of t
•on quicker than a guilty
science. It will go to my heart and
accelerate its action. It will go to
my stomach and upset my diges
tion. it will take all the joy out of
living.
One of the prominent physi
cians of our city said to me some
time ago, “’Half the patients that
come to me do not need a new
drug or an operation; they need
to repent of their sins and find
forgiveness. . . .’’
