TIMMUa IHi WORLDS MOST WIDHY USfD Df V0TI0NAL CUIDE Read Matthew 28:38-48 “My Father, if it be possible, tot this cap paaa from me; nevertheless, not as I will, bat at thou wilt.” (Mat thew 28:49 RSV) In anguish because He was shortly to be betrayed, persecuted, and put to death, Jesus was still positive of God’s love. His surren der to the Father’s will made the way clear for the resurrection and eternal life. Because God loves us, we know we can trust Him. However, it is not easy to pray, “Thy will be done.” Submission to God’s will is difficult. We may revere divine will In theory, but too often we steadfastly hold on to our own will in reality. Because we know that the will of God is-always best, we need to dedicate ourselves in self-surrender to reap the rewards of sincere faith. We prove our faith when we ask for God’s will to be done. We open the way for greater good to pass into our lives as God wills It for us. In Him we have growth, fulfillment, perfection. PRAYER Our Father, it is hard for us to accept and practice tot ting Thy will be oars. We pray for Thy spirit to strength en ns that we may conquer ourselves. Let Thy will be in ns and manifested through as. In the name of Christ, oar Savior. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY God helping me, 1 will accept His will and put it to work in my life. Cora F.

Inc 300 WKST MAIN STREET CLINTON, S.C TELEPHONE 833-0040 Bells ring, horns blow, a horse whinnies and a shot rings through the air as a loudspeaker booms, ‘‘They’re off!” Another Carolina Cup horse race has .be gun. This attraction of attractions on April I this year will hail springtime across Palmettoland. Hundreds of thousands will crowd into the Springdale Hills section near Camden to watch the horses run and see who else is present. The Carolina Cup has grown from a favorite sporting event in to a social function and each year the crowd attending gets larger. To appreciate the running of the race, however, one should visit the rolling country and watch the horses train during the pre-Caro lina Cutf weeks. Owners and trainers in colorful attire watch as the horses are put through their paces. The race grounds are to the northeast of Camden. One drives along the narrow lanes, occasion ally forced to halt to allow a horse and rider to pass, and even tually reaches the well-groomed track. < Closer to town is the "one-mile track,” where many of the flat horses are housed and work out daily leading up to the big day. Other barns and training tarcks are spotted in the country sur rounding the Springdale Steeple chase course. There are several events lead ing up to the Carolina Cup. These horse activities begin about mid- February and run during March on the week-ends. But, there’s nothing like the color and profusion of activity which accents the Carolina Cup. An air of excitement mounts as on Saturday morning hundreds of early risers arrive at the race track. As cars pour into the area, traf fic officers have their hands full. The spectators Join friends and most have their lunches and oth er refreshments packed. Many eat standing around the trunks of automobiles or tail gates of trucks or station wagons. It’s a picnickers paradise! Ev ery color imaginable melts into the green of the early spring fol iage of trees and the closely-crop ped grass. Sweaters and variation of fashionable bats are worn by most of the women and girls. These blend and clash with the sports jackets and caps or der bies worn by the men folk. All this activity does have some effect on the nearby residents, but those not connected with various concessions dealing directly with the horse race fans, accept Caro lina Cup as just another event. Many have never attended the actual Cup races. They’ve watch ed from year to year the work outs and pre-Carolina Cup events. People from far and wide across the Southland make this a definite date on their respective agendas. Politicians and social ites mix In the merriment with those of the average working class who just love horses and the fanfare. The Carolina Cup and its con tributions to the life of Camden, however, do not tell the whole story. This occupies only a short space of the year. Camdenites go on living every day. Camden is the county seat of Kershaw County, located near the heart of South Carolina on High way 1. Camden is not only noted for its part in the horse racing circles, but is also known as a place that has attracted many so journers to settle there and make it their home. The terrain and the climate are ideal. The people are friendly and ready to work hard.

It is odd then, that in the spiritual area of life some people should expect blessings to come for the asking. Those who really understand PRAYER know that it’s more than mere asking. It is seeking. It is the hungry search for truth and moral enlightenment... digging for spiritual gold in the hills of life. But PRAYER is something more even than seeking. It is knocking ... meeting life’s obstacles bravely . . . waiting with patient determination until closed doors open ... en tering portals that the more timid pass by. We wouldn’t really need churches if spir itual growth came for the asking. But we do need churches to help us seek the treasures of God. And through our churches, with the united strength of millions of Christians, we knock on the portals of the more abundant life—and there And it. Cspyrifht 1 t. Krlitre Ad*. SrevW. Stnuhonr.
