(John 9:25) v ° \ ” • A few years ago, the Philippines received no. rain for several months. The land lost its beauty as it dried up and vegetation died. But when a storm brought in heavy rains, in one week vegetation came back to life. The rain restored to the Philippine landscape the beauty and the majesty it had lost. The rain made the dif ference. Deprived of God’s redeeming relationship, man loses his sense of sin, goodness, and self-respect. But when Christ enters our homes and our lives, He transforms them into kingdoms of worship, self- respect, humility, diligence, love, peace, and contentment. By receiving Jesus, thebjlnd man of our Bible verse acquired sight. The Samaritan womSn received Jesus and His offer of the water of life, and she regained respectability. Zachaeus welcomed Jesus into his house, and the bliss of redeeming love flowed Into his soul and house from the heart of God. Right then and there the hated tax collector became upright and a true steward of God. Accepting Christ made the difference. PRATER ■< Come, Lord Jesus, dwell in us aud renew us with Thy redeeming love. Command, Lord, and our darkness will turn to light for Thy glory. In Thy name we pray. Amen.

EVERYDAY COUNSELOR Ry Bishop Herbert Spaagb "The older I grow, the more I am impressed with the fool ishness and futility of spending | my time and energy in acquir ing THINGS,” observed a thoughtful man to me the other day. "Then after you have Spent your time, money, and effort in getting these things, it takes almost as much again to look after them.” Ask any housewife about that, and see what she will say. Perhaps she started her married life in a two-room apartment. Then by saving and effort a new home was built; instead of two rooms there were nine. More furniture was bought and paid for, and last but not least came the effort of keeping a nine-room house cleaned and dusted. I have heard many of them say that they were far happier in the two rooms in which they com menced their home, than in the nine rooms into which they moved later. _ The more things we have, the more time it takes to look after them. That goes without saying. If we are not careful as time goes on we find our selves becoming slaves to THINGS. The Bible warns, VA man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the THINGS which he poseeeseth.” One of the most striking par ables of Jesus is of the Wise Fool, a man who devoted all of his time and effort to gathering material things, and when he thought he was ready to enjoy them, he died. We see that par able repeated in life about us many times. It is hard to tell the one who is scrimping for the physical necessities of life that an abun dance of them would not make him happy. But ask the one who has them and see what he says. The results of this process of thinking, expressed by our friends are often achieved slow ly, and only through many years. Much of the joy of liv ing comes in striving for achievement, not in posses sions. True contentment comes when your heart is at peace with God and your fellowman. That is the beginning of the road to happiness. Jesus said emphatically that when a man seeks God first, the things that we need have a way of craning along. The Psalmist confirmed this thought when he wrote, . /I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, n o r his Sfgd begging bread.” Cattle Group Is Formed At Meeting The South Carolina Cattle-1 men’s Association has been form ed from membership of a live stock group which formerly rep resented both swine producers [ and cattlemen.
