i THE CLINTON CHRONICLE JThuraday^i^rSjJlfM CHtlppcrRo^m Conservation Notes By J. B. O'DELL Soil Consorraiion Serric* =—=•===__. O ™< 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. Foster K. Gamble (Alabama) 4JI CLUB SCHOLARSHIP., AIDER YOUTH m COMPLETION OF AGRICULTURAL COURSE Thirty-Five P. C.

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. . . .’’ Subscribe to The Chronicle!
