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

To Spend Wisely
By MARIE HEGLER

Consumer competence is a
family affair. More than
one hundred years ago it was
established that the basic
economic social unit is the
family.

How a child budgets his

W. 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. Coates is a native of
Smitbfield, N. C.

We have been unable to'

'rapes of unsurpassed qual-
ty because attack by a
;mall native root aphid, the
grape production was stag
gering. * But ftamage by the
iphid has resulted, in ' one
2ood thing for ; Easterners:
the development * of French-
\merican grape 1 hybriejs:
H. 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.
