Cox have been appointed missionaries to Japan by the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board. Mrs. Cox, the former Miss Annette Young of Newberry, attended Newberry College, the University of Louisville, Austin Peaty State College, Clarksville, Tenn., and grad uated cum laude from Car- son-Newman College, Jeffer son, Tenn. Following graduation from Clinton High School fit 1948, h e attended Presbyterian college and graduated from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Lousvlle, Ky., and cum laude from Carson- Newman College. He joined a Bible study group in the Navy and began thinking about becoming a missionary. He spent Chrstmas, 1952, in Hong Kong and said he saw the spiritual poverty which existed htere. He told the board that at this point he promised God that he would become a missionary if He would provide the op portunity. They have been living in Tazewell, Va., where Mr. Cox has been pastor of Fair- castle Baptist Church for two years. They are among 23 career missionaries appointed and two missionary accessories employed by the Foreign Mission Board. The person who has reached maturity is not likely to consider and rightly so, that his thoughts and actions should be like those of a child. We would be childish were we to do so. Paul said, "When 1 became a man. I put away childish things.” The point which Jesus seeks to shqw to us is that we are God’s children. He does not say that we should give up our mature status as men and women. The thought and direc tion our Lord gives us is that God is our Father, and that He would have us always love and serve Him with the faith and love like that of a little child. When the disciples rebuked those who were bringing lit tle children to Jesus, He said, "Whosever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter there* in.” By this He is saying that we should make our hearts as loving and trusting toward Him as is the heart of a child. PRAYER Our heavenly Father, we are thankful that we can pray and call Thee our Father. May we real ize in our hearts that we can make known to Thee all our thoughts and desires and become as trust ing as a little child in our faith; through Christ Laurens — The body of a Laurens man was found Sun day afternoon 17 feet from the crashed automobile ip which he had been, traveling.
