Everyday Comeior Did you ever hear of a lost house—one that simply disap peared? One did just that re cently in Winston-Salem, N. C. The house burned partially during a fire last year. It was not repaired at once, and grad ually began to disappear. One neighbor said that after the house burned, he saw some peo ple he did not know carrying planks away, presumably for firewood. Another neighbor saw someone carry off a bathtub. Apparently the house disap peared piece by piece. A strange cause, you say? But we see it happening every day to a man’s moral and re ligious life. Any pastor will tell you that part of his work is to prevent his members from be ing carted off piece by piece like the missing house in Win- The process of spiritual dete rioration la so gradual that of ten it isn’t noticed. A man of good character may be active in his church and lead an ex emplary life. Then he begins to grow careless. He neglects thing* he was to do by his parents at home. He does things he was taught not to do. For example, many a man to day who was reared in a home where the Christian sabbath was observed as a day for spiritual enrichment and rest, now patronises on Sunday places of business and profes sional entertainment. His pa rents would be shocked if they could see what he does on Sun day. He cuts the lawn, paints the house, while his wife does the family laundry. The Fourth Commandment has been car ried out of his life plank by plank. Then he allows the other Commandments to be carried off the same way. By the time half of his house is gone, he Me support of the ehurafc. His childhood training about alco hol and ahsti—ci has likewise disappeared plank by plank. Then one day he wakes up aid the house is gone. Be per sonal. What abodt you? The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews in the New Testa ment has some strong words on this subject I quote tram the Revised Standard Version, as the meaning is clearer: “Therefore we must pay the closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For if the message declared by the angels was val id .. . how shall we fescape if we neglect such a great sal vation? . . . For it is impos sible to restore again to repent ance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have be come partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they then commit Consult John L.
