i A 4 94—THI CHROfttCLE, CUnton, S. C, Nov. 1«, 1967 Focus Oh Faith The Relevancy The Bible By DR. M. A. Macdonald President Thomwell Home and School For Children Ftith is one of the greatest factors in life. Bible-believing faith is the most outstand ing asset an individual can possess. The 10th Chapter of Ro mans says, “Now faith cometh by hearing, and hear ing by the Word of God.” When you open the Bible and being to study, faith will grow constantly. I belong to those fortunate groups of people who were brought up on the Word of God. Bible reading and prayer were regular experiences in our home. The Psalmody of David, the matchless 35th Chapter of Isaiah, the incomparable Parables of Jesus, the un forgettable stories of Divine Providence, the love story of Ruth, the visions of the Prophets, and the apocalypse of John were part of the daily life of our family. “Come unto me all ye that labor”; “God “so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son’l; “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want”; By grace are ye sav ed through faith”; “If with all your hearts ye truly seek me” — These were regular expressions from the Bible in the youth of my life. The young person today who grows up in such an environ ment is exceedingly fortun ate. Some people when they grow up consider such as a depressing experience of the nature of a hardship and de velop severity or resentment toward the Bible and the Christian religion. But that type person never had any religion with which to begin. The Bible was relevant in our home and a blessed her itage. The memories now of such experiences are incal culable. The Bible is the great source Book of all that is best in culture, philosophy, and wisdom. “All the great of the earth from Paul to Lincoln have gone forth ai knights — errant Upon their crusades of righteousness and compassion with their “feet shod with the prepara tion of the Gospel.” Count ries where democracy has made its greatest impact have always had the open Bible known and read by all people. 1,100 TRANSLATIONS Today the Bible is trans lated into more than 1,100 languages or dialects of the modern world. The first public school was founded by the Colonists j; li Massachu setts that thd BlibleV' mignt be taught the fchlldrert. For, they said, “\yhat avails free dom of religion if our chil dren are ignorant of the Bible.” The first College was founded on our shores that young men might be trained to spread the story of that Book to the native pebple of the land. What a difference in the thinking of the people today. Especially, agencies of Government and. other so- called important people who have been instrumental i: taking the Bible and praye out of our schools. The finest of culture, re finement, poetry, drama romance, and biography b found in the Bible. No liter ature will ever excel the beauty of the 23rd Psalms the grandeur of the Sermor on the Mount, the appealing goodness of Luke’s Gospel, the eloguence of Isaiah, the love story of Ruth, the superb visions of Revela tion, the incomparable beau ty of the Parables, and the law of the Ten Command ments. People who have beer • brought un to know and re vere the Bible consider it as a “lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” We nee'’ t" saturate our language w ; th its ‘ • vocabulary, ou - minds with its truth, our hearts with its love, our conscious with its laws, and our life with its spirit. Man hungers for something beyond himself. Deep in the human heart there is the de sire for fellowship with God Man cannot live by bread alone. Underneath^, this topsy turvy world, crumbling apart into broken and brittle bits, full of disintegration, there is the longing for something that can give it stability and hold it together. Civilization is always changing. We may talk about a new culture, a new science, a new economic, a new religion, a new theolo gy, but there is always at work in this world the same ageless process of change and decay Thert are tue CROSSWORD . ^ same • hopes, the same dreams, the same sorrows, and the same longing for God. To this ageless yearn ing in a changing world comes the relevance of the message of a timeless Book; namely, the Bible. Because it is man’s highway to God, it gives courage to the timid, companionship to the lonely, confidence to the confused, forgiveness to the sinful, and salvation by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ to the repentant. In other words, God has made Himself known to mankind ‘hrough His Word, the Bible. The final and com plete revelation of God in the Bible is in Jesus Christ. BOOK OF MORALS The Bible is our rule and guide. It is quite correct to ?ay that it is a Book of Morals. Never will a civiliza tion survive or a nation long andure which disregards the Goldeft Rule. The glory of the Bible is its relevance. It is at home in every age and country. Writ ten centuries ago, it is eter- lally contemporary. It pro vides us with a sense of di vine mission. We have a place to fill and a service to perform, and a purpose to contemplate. We are all her alds and ambassadors of some divine errand. The Bible not only tells us this, I but also that life is sustained by a sense of divine pres^ j ence. The Book says, “Follow me. Lo, I am with you al- way.” The virus of humanism, materialism, socialism, and communism, etc., are caus- ng much confusion in all j segments of society, includng the Church. There are. many issues at stake today, but the real issue is the integrity and authority of the Bible as the Word of God. Tlje beginnings of America were Christian and based upon the Bible and its teachings. This was true then and now. because this rrtast relevant of all Books has God as its Author, is of HS «.

Bryan Coates, who is married to a native of Clin ton, has been appointed gen eral manager for Mecklen burg Fair, Ltd., in Charlotte, N. C. ' He is married to the for mer Carolyne Warren, a na tive of Clinton, and they reside in Charlotte. Coates, 39, has been in banking business for 18 years and resigned from the First Federal Savings and Loan Association in Charlotte to take over the position with the Mecklenburg Fair organ ization.

J. Sefick, associate pro- essor qf horjidulture at Jlemson University, has ? been testing a hum her,- of the French-American grape ’ hy brids. One of these, Seyve- Villard —,12375 has perform ed so well It nofr appears as one of the • recommended ;arieties of S, C. A, plant of this variety was ;et out at Clem$on in 1954. In 1956 the plant was producing at a rate of about 5 tons per acre. Sefick describes the bunch es as very • large. The berries are greenish yelloty to golden yellow at full maturity, faintly. speckled 'with brown ish lentlcels.' , the berries iave a thick, but tender skin. Sefick says ttye flesh Is firm and meaty, melting when left on the vine until flat in flavor. And the ber ries apparently do not crack. 'The variety has both vigor and high productivity. It has beauty of bunch and good quality. Sefick says the var iety ripens during and after Niagara and Concord. We are indebted to the French for this and numer ous other French-American hybrids. The American grape phyl- laxera was introuced into France about 1800. The re sults were devasting. Within 25 years after phylloxera was introduced, it had destroyed one-third of the vineyards of France, or about 2,500,000 acres. In efforts to save their grape industry, the French began intensive breeding pro grams, trying to incorporate phylloxera - resistance by breeding the European grape with the the native grapes of the eastern U. S. The Seyve-Villard — 12375 incoroprates the “blood” of vinifera with at least three native American-type grapes. Tests in the U. S. show that the hybrid does not undergo severe damage from phyl loxera.. Previously, it was believed that there was a genetic linkage between vinifera-type fruit and high succeptibility to disease. The results with this variety seem to indicate that this linkage is not as close as it first appeared. Sefick.believes that, with a normal spray program, dis eases or Seyve-Villard — 12375 can be controlled. .
