I Thursday, October 16,19S8 X THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Paffe Seres ppcrRwm OOM NASHVKLI TINMISMt THE WORLDS MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL CUIDE Read Timothy 6:11-16 The mystery which hath been hid from ages and from gen erations. bat now is made manifest to his saints. (Coktssians 1:26) Beulah prepared herself to be a nurse. She practiced her profession for several years, but arthritis cut short her career. She spent the last ten years of her life in bed. She was a helpless cripple, with the exception of her mind, her heart, and one hand. She had a special telephone installed at her bed. This she used daily to inspire her friends, to encourage members of the church, to extend sympathy to the bereaved, and to bring cheer to the discouraged. Day after day, and to the very last, her life was one of radiant victory in Christ. At the age of 36 she passed on in triumph to her eternal home. The life of this woman, though crippled in body, bore witness to the life which fs in Christ—a life “hid with Christ in* God ”. PRAYER O Lord of life—of abundant life, of victorious life— help us to live each day in the blessed fullness of Thy love. So may the divine mystery be revealed in us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY When Christ dwells within us, we pee deeper meaning in all of life. Waid C. Radford (Ohio) World wide Bible Reading—Hosea 14:1 9 DR. T. LAYTON FRASER . . THE HOLY LAND Dr. Fraser, of the Department of Bible, Presbyterian College, recent ly returned from a trip to Paris, fUme, Greece, and Egypt. As we left Egypt, we were looking forward to beginning the most im portant part of our tour. We were going to the Holy Land, the land where our Lord was prophecied, born, grew to manhood, ministered to His people, suffered, died, rose again, and ascended into heaven j What an opportunity' Because diplomatic relations had been broken between Egypt and Jordan, we could not fly direct to Jerusalem, as we would have liked Instead, we had to go from Cairo to Beirut Lebanon, and from there to Jerusalem. Jordan We thought we could leave early on the morning of July *. and be ia Beirut in aa hoar, then fly to Jerusalem, bat the that we had to chM0i fly to Beirut late to the day was tost for us in Palestine, but we took it in our stride, and were glad to get there at all. Consequently, we had to spend the night in Beirut and wait until the next day for the flight to Jerusalem We flew around Is rael lest we be shot down, and com. ing in on the Jordan side, we came to the great and ancient city of Jerusalem about noon. Here we were in the city that had been sung by the psalmists, and wept over by prophets and the Son of God —the city, that had been select ed by the great King David to ba his capital, and the city that had become the capital of our religion Aa 1 aaw the walls of the old city with my own eyes, it was difficult for me to realize that I was actually there Before seiag very much la the city itself, we went to Hebron and Betfilebem We could aot travel the old road to Bethlehem that was only six miles tong, for that went through 1st Mi's territory Instead we drove la two cars on the new road in Jordan, a distance of fifteen miles to Bethlehem, and then on to Hebron without stopping. We would see Bethlehem on our return. At Hebron we saw the mosque that covers the Cave of Machpetirt), that Abraham bought from the Hi- tites ("the sons of Heth”) in which to bury his wife, Sarah. I under stand that Christians are not often allowed to enter this mosque, but our guide was a Moslem, and he arranged for us to see all that could be seen. No one at all is allowed to enter the cave under the mosque, for the Moslems are rightly respect ful to their dead. In the mosque, there are memorial tombs for Ab raham, Sarah, Lsaac, Rebekah, Ja cob, Leah, and Joseph, according to Scripture, was brought Back from Egypt and buried in Shechem, but the other six were buried in the cave that is now protected by the mosque. In the floor of the building, there is an opening into the cave, but entrance is forbidden. Once, someone insisted that Kaiser Wil helm of Germany, be allowed to enter the cave, and the Arabs al most rose up in arms, so the idea was dropped. Emperor or peasant- all were the same. From the town of Hebron, we went to the Oak of Mamre, just across the valley to the north on the way to Bethlehem. You will prob ably remember that it was there that Abraham settled after his sep aration from Lot. There he built an altar to God and worshipped The tree is indeed ancient, but whether it is one of the original oaks, and has lived four thousand years is a question for someone else to an swer. It could easily have been, however, one of their descendants I bought three acorns from a boy and brought them back with me, hoping that at least one of them will germinate and grow. The tree is well protected with a fence, so it may live many years longer and shed many more acorns. While standing near the tree, the group was served huge bunches of de licious grapes, bunches that re minded me of the return of the twelve spies that Joshua sent out from Kadesh-barnea into that same region over three thousand years ago Some of them, on their return, bore on a pole between them a lino laden with grapes to show that the land was a land “flowing with milk and honey ” A* Me drove on toward Bethle hem. it waa good to see that the people of Jordan have discovered oil for there stood a lone oil well fr operation May they discover rrueh * more They need it Ap pmachine the town of Bethlehem on the South, and as we left H on the North, there lay to our right and left, valleys and hillaxles la one at these fields Ruth gleaned for him Later Mtoy became the great-grandpareoU at David the King, and the earthly an cestors of the Christ In one of these fields the angels sang to the ahep herds as they watched their sheep announcing the birth of the Savior In Bethlehem we visited the Church of the Nativity, standing over the traditional spot where the Child was bom The ancient manger was carried to Rome by the crusaders. Whether there, or somewhere else in that little town, there came into being the greatest Person that ever lived He was hated by many, but loved by more, and today He stands as the first in importance in the his tory of all mankind. Thus was the word of the prophet Micah fulfilled: “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, shall he come forth unto me that though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee is to be ruler in Israel; whose go ings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.’’ (To be continued) Care Of Livestock Stressing the importance of prop er attention in October to livestock feeding, breeding, and management problems, County Agent M.
