its texts, and kw arc the writers who choose to pen

yource oi matcrial. a gold mine of exten::;iv(! knowledge
which greatly enriches th<: soul. Its teachings trace the
orl\\-ard and upward movement of the whole inner !llan
under the g"lIidance of God's Holy Spirit.
The Book itself is a letter which was written hy tlre
aged Paul a shurt tinre hefore his hand was .<;tille<1 by
the execl1tioner's sword. The words were penned to the
young- Creek minister. Titlls, lIe had heen cO!H'erted
under Paul's ministry and had journeyed with the apostle a numher of times. lIe was pastor of the Corinthian
Church when Paul WI"Ok the Second Epistle to the
Corinthians, and later he hecame pastor and bishop of
Cn::le. IY au \ addresses Titus in tire 1110st endearing terllls
";\Iine own son after the curnmo n faith," ":,Iy partner
and fello\\'~ht'\per"-and of him the apostle .<;ays , "\Valked
we not in the same spirit - walked we not in the same
steps ?"
I would ]ike especially to draw your attention to the
second chapter of the Book where the wnter gi\'es a
most eloquellt dissertation Oil practical godliness, lifting
the theme to a. glo rious climax with the words, ., For
the graee of God that hringeth salvation hath appeared
By INEZ STURGEON
to all men, teaching us that. denymg ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we should li\'e soberly, righteously. and
godly. in this prc:.cnt world; looking for that blessed
hope. and the glorious appearing of the grrat Cod and
our Sa\'iour jesus CbrL"t.'·
In the first instance we are told that the gospel is
for all men! This is the glory of the gospel. that it is
not a hidden mystery. but it is to he proclaimed to the
whole eanh. Simeon, holding the Holy Babe in his arms.
hurst forth in ecsta:.y at the revelation. ';)'line eyes have
seen thy salvation. which thou hast prepared hdore the
face of all people." The sins of the whole world were
expiated; and the only reason this doe~ not affect tht
salvation of tvery man is hecause some reject it. ~o
man is outside the mercy of God untess he deliherately
places himself there.
Paul now holds up the high objecti\'e, the gloriou:.
hope. the preeminent incentive of the Christian Church.
the seCO.ld coming of Christ. The majestic splendor of
this described even t is then !)rought within sight and
realization of the humblest child of God- within the
handclasp of the newest recruit in the "army of the
saverl"-as Paul proceeds to name the three steps to
the Rapture at the second coming of Christ. Three steps?
Yes, only three, and these hold the secret of participation
in that grand "jubi lee oi all ages."
Concisely, briefly, and without mincing words, the
apostle gives forth the requisites and declares that the
grace of God "teaches" us the same. In the original
Greek the word u sed for t(,aching implies the idea of
a disciplining process-bringing into subjection our llllman nature and thereby refining it until the objectionable portions are submerged by those attributes brought
to us in the ncw life of God breathed into us at sal\'ation. I t is a regulation of this new life which has
been born from above.
A ll three of the "teachings" arc disciplinary measures
and have to do with our lives in thi s present worldou r contacts of all kinds in the p rocesses of life.
The first step is described by the word soberly. Thi s
word entails a very minute examination of all desires,
ambitions, and the pnrposes that arise in our hearts.
Christianity is a malleI' of the individual heart before
it is a matter for the street. The word so(>('y as here
used is one associated with wakefulness-watchfulness
- vigilance. Paul elsewhere enjoins. "Let us watch and
be sober." Peter also admonishes thu s.
Cah'in said. "\\'e an' commanded not merely to moderation in eating and drinl,.ing', hut to spiritual sohriety.
rather. when we shut in all our sellses. that they do not
intoxicate them~el\'l!s with the unla\\'ful things of the
world." \\'e nl\!!>t not allow the things of the world to
draw us into a state oi unnatural excitement or lull
us into a stul)()r. Born in tiloug-ht, ilhcit desires. If har4
hored. will re!>ld! in deeds: and these. if cOlHmitted. will
shape: into an undone eternity.
\\'hat an ex amp\(' of this foregoing descnption j" found
in the expression. "),fy Lord delaycth his t"OI111ng." in
relation to an expected return of a master. It is illustrated
hy a Lo! in Sodom, by a Balaam beiore a H,dak. and
hy a mess of 1X)tt:l.ge accepted for a hirthrig'ht I ~o
\\'onder our Lord warned. "Take heed to \,oflYsrft'I's , ..
The Inward look wilh discipline will hrin!! the upward
look with assurance. \\'e stand no\\' atOp the fir.~t ~ll'p.
"RighteoJlsly" is the next step. l{ig'hteou~nes:. i:. the
outward !l.l<lnifest:l.tion and expression of a holy hl.'art
~o \\'e have the sequence of thest' words placed \cry
correctly by Paul: first ourselns. and then our relatiol1
with others. This latter is the point where we tollch the
world. j lere we sec the sin. the shame. the ~()rrow. and
the heanache; at work we are surrounded hy it. on the
!-treet almost encompassed with it. and yet the Christian
meets the world with a heart nlld life COlllpleldy separated frOIll the desire for it or participation in it. There
l11ust he a spi ritu al separation and phy:.ical r(·nunClaUOll.
This triumph is like a jo:.eph in Egypt. !i"ing in the
simplicity of holiness. showing- tu an un~cr1Jp\llolis
Egyptian a righteous life by refusing to defile himself:
like Shadrach, ~Ieshach, and Abednego. in the midst of
pagan idolatry, !i\'ing righteously and refusing to bow
the knee to the image. Triumphant righteous li\,jng is
based on one foundation-a cleansing of the heart in
sober, individual , disciplinary living.
\Ve have but to take one more step of this insep,'lrabk
triumvirate of experience. "Codly." There must come a
"ery practical realization of the presence of God and a
yielding to Hi s claims in Ollr daily life.
A Ilumber of years ago Charl<,s ),1. Sheldon realized
Ihis, and wrote a hook. ill His St('ps. of wh ich more
copies ha\'e been sold than any other except the Bible.
In that book he applied the question . in practically all
the circumstances of everyday liic. ';\\111at \Vollid
jesus Do?"
John \\'esley was criticized with the words, ;'l-ie has
taken religion out of the parlor and placed it in the
kitchen," And rightly so for true Christia!1!ty Tllust bring
a knowledge of the presence of God 24 hours of tht'
day, SC\'en days a week. and ::.2 w('('ks a year. in and
through all circumstances of life. We shollid ever enjoy
the gloriolls privilege of livi ng under the cyes of God.
QUI' lives should he lived \\'ith God. for God. and in God.
Then as we successfll lly mount the three steps. "soberly." "righteously," and ';godly," we sha11 await the COI1 sl1!lHllation, lhe glorification, the "glorious appearing of
the great God and our Sav iour. Jesus Christ: who gavc
himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purify unto himself a peculiar people. zealous of
good works."

\h:l\ is so precious to tht Lord of the harvc"t. .\11<1 if the puhlic
opinion polls arc c() rrcCI , the Amcrican people arc Illor t rcady to
accept an invitation to SUTH!ay school and church today than c\cr hdorc.
t\ poll take!! this "lIIlllTle r hy the I-Iarri~ Survey of \\'ashington found
that 97 percent of the achl1t population p rofess a belief in God; 72.
percent, a helief ill an nfter life. Only Ollt Olll of 100 calls hirn':>clf an
athci~t tod:\y (th~H is, says he doc ... 1101 helieve in the ('xi..,tcncc of
God), and on ly two 011\ of 100 call lhcll1~ck('s ag!lostic~ (that IS.
they say the existe nce of God is unknown , and p robahly unknowahle)
The \'a~t ma jority claim ~ol11e kind of re\igiou!; faith.
But the poll also rc\"{:alcd that only about half of the American people attend religions se f\'ice ~ as ofteH a~ once a week. ,\lillions of 1)(:0pic who claim to believe in God "c1dom, if ever, darken a church door.
When interviewed hy po lltakers, many of them appeared to be plagued
by a had l.:ollsciellce c01H:crning the depth of their religions I.:Olllm itment.
and expressed the hope that their children will he 'more religions than
they!
•\\ayb(' they <Lre hoping their childre n will attend Sunday school
and church reglllarly , en:n if they thell1sehes do not. This is wi shful
thinking I Om job is to enroll the emire family in Sunda y school.
Thi s lIlay he th e rellledy for the had parent ..\! I.:onscience.
The fact that more people nrc attending church today than a generati on ago is no reason to relax our soul -winning effort s. On the contrary.
we need to pause and ask what kind of preaching they arc getting whcn
they go to chllfch. Docs their church preach the gospel? ;\re they
told they need a )Jew Birth? Do they hear the pure W ord of God?
Or is their pastor Olle of the "new breed" of clergymen who talk
more about race than righteousness, who preach on universal peace
rather than individual peace with Cod, who are more concerned with
the war 011 poverty than with man's battle against sin? '\Iany people
are fed up with the social gospel. They hunger for "old-timc rdigioll .,
A ttending a church that has a form of godlincss but denies the
power of God (sec 2 Timothy 3 :5) may he more dangerous than
attending no church at all. It can gi\'e people a false sense of security.
\Ve need to double our efforts to Imng people in touch with the
truth. \Vc need to warn th em that hea\'en is real: that hell i~ real:
that they tllllst repent, turn away from their sins. and have a re:ll
experience of sa lvatioll if they would miss the place of eternal tormellt and gain a home in heavell.
This is a day when preachers like to talk abont God's goodness hut
seldom mention His severi ty. The Bible teache::; hoth. all the way
through. In the Old Testament. God revcaled Himself to \Ioses as
One who is "me rciful and gracious." willing to forgive sin. but also
as One who " will by no means clear the guilty" (Exodus 34 :6. 7 ) .
In the New, Jesu s stressed God's 10\'e for mankind hut also emphasized
lIis hatred o f sin . and said, "Except ye repeni, ye shall all likewi se
perish."
During I\ational Sunday school weck, which begins today, we need to
gather people of every age into Sunday school And wh en they come. let
liS tell them the truth ahout the future life- al)Qllt the \\"<1\' of sah'ation
to escape the dC\'il"s hell, and ahOllt the Spirit-filled life of holiness
which will lead thelll to God's heaven. They need not perish \Ve
must offer thern the \Vord of Life.

\\"!!,\T
\ DAY! Saturday" July Ii, was ont: oi th" ... t'
most hlessed days here ill Calcutta when OHr heart ... wt·n·
filled to overflowing with the joy of the I.orc!. \\'e
have witnessed ovcr 600 non-Chri!:iti:l!1 young men sit
and listcn for o\'cr three hour~ to the gloriou ... go;.pel
of Jesus Christ.
This \\'a'i our second Liglll-for-the-Lost rally of the
\\"e51 Bengal Bible Corre~pondcnce ~choo1. \\'e had invited sollle of the student:. li\'ing in and around Calcutta
to he presellt. ;\Iany of those who carne had already
completed the 13 lessons of the course and thus hac!
some knowledge of the Bihle and the !'erson of Jcsus
Christ.
Everyone sat attentively while D. P. Roychoudhur)
presented the deeper and precious truths of God's \\'or<1.
One Uengali brothe r. a cOllverted ilin ciu. gave his testimOllv of how he had found Christ as his Sa\·iour. Ilis
testi;nony was most impressive ill convincing these young
men of the reality of s,.l\":\lion.
LTnlcss you have lahored in a non-Christian place. you
will find it difficult to understand the keen excitement
of such a rally' as this. Yml know how difficult it can
be to hore with an electric drill a hole in a piece of metal.
The drill hums and slows down. Only with great patience and pcrSC\'cra nce arc yon ahle to accomplish the
task. This is the way it is working for God in a pag-an
land" The people are schooled in hcathen philosophy
which scoffs at the idea of a Saviour; fetlered by fear~
and superstitions ; misguided by deluded and deceh'ingpriests. On top of all Ihi s, they are bewildered hy the
pleasing propaganda of the Communists. It takes nothing less than a mighty visitation of the Holy Spirit to
hring togethe r such a crowd of seekers as we saw in
this rally.
Many of these young men stayed hehind for further
counseling and prayer. They fined the prayer chapel
and were standing five deep around the walls.

NINETY ADCLT NAVAHOS living ncar
the Little Colorado River cOJl1munity
of Cameron, Ariz., hav~' petitioned
their Tribal Council at W indow I~ock
headquarters for a mission land gratH
on which to build a new Assemhlies
of God church.
The congregation, by fai th, has
started a huilding fund and has obtained a 42-p<.ssenger bus for transporting- families to church Specd-theLight funds helped the cong rcgalion
pl1 rchase the latc-model vehicle.
I3rothcr and Sister Don Ramsey
have been ministering 10 the congregation since July, 1%1. They had
moved to Tuba City, A riz .. a nearby
reservation cOtl1munity in 1960. Feel ing led of God to initiate a new mission in the area. the Ram scys traveled
to se\'eral nearby communities attempting to locate a group of lndians
open to the message of the gospel.
In 1%1, they met an Assemhlies of
God lady, Ruth Bradford. who was
anxious to see her community reached
with the full gospel.
When the Bradfords moved to
Cameron in 1959 to take a secular
job, there were no church services
conducted by any group. There was,
though. a small Sunday school class
sponsored by one of the neighbors.
Sister Bradford suggested that they
hegin jointly conducting Wednesday
night services. The neighbor ag reed,
;md soon her house space was too
small for those attending.
Sister Bradford began transporting
two of th e Indian fami lies to Tuba
Paint Sublime an th e narth rim af th e Grand Canyon .
City on Sundays for church serv Ices
there. The distance between the two
C011lmunities is 25 miles, but this was
the closest full -gospel work to Camcrol! . The Rradfords and Ra mseys
agreed to join forces in instituting
regular evangelistic services at Cam('rOll .
\Veekly Satmday evening services
were started III a lean-to at the
Sema11 ie family camp on the north
side of the Little Colorado River canyon. \·Vithin a few weeks other families began to appear for services, and

The word saint IS nt'\'('\" apphl'd to imli\'iduals as such.
It is usually u,>eci in Ihe plural. Only twice i~ it used
in the singula r as applied to persons (Philippians 4 ,2 1 :
I~ e \'e\ation 22 :11), wherc, however. Ihe "saini" (holy
one) is regarded as a memhe r of a conlllmnity.
The word saini in the t-:ew Testament is Ihe English
equivalent of "holy" a.') applit'd to til(' individual. Jesus
alone is called "Ihe 1I0ly One of C;od" (\ Iark 1:24).
The fundamental idea of holy is that the man, thing,
or place that is hOly (sec Exodus 39:30, 41; 40 :9) helongs to God. and is, Ilwrdon'. <;eparate frOIll that which
is profane or common prop<'rt)', \\'hat belongs to God
pmt :lkes of the di\'inc characH'r and nature (2 PetN 1 ;4).
The s:l im is a hdie\l'r in the Lord Jeslls Chrisl as
his only ~a\'iour. I~ehc\"l:rs arc now the "helo\'cd of
God called 10 he saints" (1 Corinthi;1I.1S 1:2 ) . ;\11(] arc

Chri!>t (I Peter I :I~. 19: and see I Corinthians 6:19,
20 ). He has set u!> apart for Himself thaI lIis holy
purposes !liar he fulfilled in and through liS.
Our calling nnd duty as saints are dearly and simply
sUlllmed lip in 1 Peter I :IS. 16: ":\s he which called
you is holy. so he ye holy in all manner of COll\'ersa·
lion: because it is written. 13e ye holy: for I am holy."
True saintlincss spring!; from a closc relationshi p with
Christ. a readiness 10 know and do llis will, a decp
ycarning to he conformed to His image ( Romans 8:29).
As we fully COllscrrate our lives. our time. our talents
to Christ. and walk in the Spirit, so shall we unconsciously reveal the heautiful virtues and graces li:.led

of the loss and added that althollgh the mother was
taking medication for several phy sical ailment s, "there

"Although affliction cometh 1I0t forth of the dust, neither
doth trouble spring out o f the ground; yet man is horn
unto trouble as the sparks fly upward" (Job 5:6, 7).
The very nature of human relationships, coupled with
the hrevity of life, makes sorrow ine\·itahle. The P salmist
ohserved that "God setteth the solitary in families"
(Psalm 68 :6) . Yet several millenniums previou sly God
was sympathetic to Adam's solitude CVCII amid the beauty
of the garden of Eden and said: "I t is not good that
the man should he alone: I wi11 nlake him an help
meet for him."
The story of family life is an unending cycle. Two
young people decide they will share the joys and sorrows of life together and take their \"ows of loyalty.
Soon the home is hlessed with the patter of little fcct
and the fleeting years that follow are fi lled with the
activities of a growing family.
One by one the children leave to take iheir placcs in
li fe, and mother and dad arc left a lone with their
memo ries! As a pastor visits eldcrly people he is so
often shown pictures on the mantle of grown SOilS and
daughters who arc away from home.
The final portion of the story is always a sad one.
Death takes one of the parent s and the children stand
at the graveside beside the other with heavy hearts. The

Jesus Christ was acquainted with grief, and lli s church

The apostle J allles wrote, "Pure religion before God and

their affliction. and to keep himself unspotted from the

Gosp<"\ of ~1atthew. haY(' as tileir theme, Christ-Kill{J
0'1(1 SCI'l/iour. Our first lesson pertains to the cn:nts
C011nected with ,he bi rth of the King.
THE TITLE OF THE GOSPEL.
"The hook of the gener,nion of ]C!'I1S Christ . the SOil
of David, the SOil of Abraham." These words afC perhaps dclihcrmcly ambiguous. The word ql'ncralirm is the
word Yl'Il('sis which may mean gcnc:'llog-y or birth and
is the title of the first hook of the Bihle. lienee the
title may rcfcr to (1) the genealogy foll ow ing it: ( 2)
the actual hirth of les\l~: (3) the hfe history of Jesus:
(4) Ihe era of Itra~c Iisherecl in by Christ al I[i~ fir st
coming. to be con:-;lIJllma ted at His seco nd corning.
i\latthew wrote primarily to show the Jews that Jeslls
of Nazareth was the ;\lessiah promised in the Old
T estament. Thus he makes two important poims in the
THE DISTRESS Of MARY
:\Iary was betrothed to Jo~eph-a relationship as sacred
and hinding as marriage ilself. \\'hi1c still in the home
of her parents, shc "was found with child" (:'<.Iatlhew
I :IR). An angel had appeared to cxplain to her the
miracle that was to take placl'. Did she tell Joseph' Or
did she feel the Steret too sacred to share:- .\\ any rate
this signal honor was l10t withollt its 3g0ny and suffering.
\\'hat would Joseph think ~ What would the outsidc
world think?
!\latthew explains :'<.Iary's condition ,-cry simply. It
was "of the Holy (;host" (". 18). Thus in a few words
he :-;tate_~ the grcate"t fact in human hi~tory. the greatest
miracle of the ages-the miracle of the Incarnation.
THE INTENTI ON Of JOSEPH (.... 19 )
It is (hfficu1t to imagine Joseph's feelings. E.vident!y
hc felt :\lary was guilty of unfaithfulness. yet he st ill
loyed her. But though he lon~d her. he felt he must do
that which the law required and "put her away," ihat is.
di,'orce her. I lis goodness. his lack of "indictivcncss,
his consideration for :\Iary is 11105t praiseworthy. He
\\"ould nOI expose her to public Sh;llllC. hut privately, in
the presence of the two llcces"ary witnesses, hc would
kl.11d her a hlll of cli\-orCellleJ1t
THE INTER V ENTION OF GOO (....... 20 , 21)
If Ol1e walks in all the light he has, more light will
he given. Thus Joseph received the guidance for which
he had such great need . The angel (1) reminded Joseph
of his ancestry, therehy (Illalifying him for the great
honor which was to he his as well as i\fary's; (2)
explained to Joseph that :\fary's conception had been
diYlnely effected by the Holy Spirit : and (3) comll1anded
Joseph not to fear but to proceed with the consullIIllation of the marriage.
"Thot! shalt call his name J ESC'S: for he shall save
his people from thei r sins" (\'. 21l. The word Ch rist
i" really a title mcaning a1l0iJI/rd. and indicates ~des­
siahship. j('Slls. ho\\"c\·er, is a personal name. It is the
same word as lOS/ilia of the Old Testament which means
}cl!ollah is Sm'ioH I" l-lere again -:'Ilatthew is emphasizing
that which is of utmost illlponance-Jesus did not come
prtma rily to set forth :til Ideal way to live. nor 10 becomc a great T eacher: He camc as a Saviour!
THE FULFILLMENT Of PROPHECY
" Now all th is was done. that it migh t be fulfilled .. "
(v . 22 ). Thi s expression or its equivalent occms more
than 20 times 111 ::-'f<ltthew's gospel. Here :\Jatthew poin ts
out that the virgin birth was a fulfillment of Isaiah 7 :14.
"They shall call his nalile Emmanuel. which heing in terpreted is, God with us" (\'. 23). "\Iatthew emphasi zes
the deity of Christ . This Son is "God with tis." that is.
God manifested in human flesh. As John p"tS it, "The
\Vord was God ... and the \Vorel was made flesh and
dwelt among us" (John 1:1, 14) Great indeed is "the
mystery of godli ness"! (Sec 1 Timothy 3 :16.)

Already 2OO,()(X) copie'i howe heen
distributed for liSe in personal evangelism, a nd additional orde rs arc heing
received da ily!
Prepared from i\lr. Penney's autobiography, FiJI\' Yl'ors with thl' Goldell Rifle, this is the life story of the
distinguished owner of more than
1,iOO retail stores, who last year was
presenlco the Layman ;"[o,'cmcnt's
highest hOllor, "Letterman in Christian Living ."
M r. Penney was a 1ll;\11 of advanced
years, married for the third time (after losing hi s first I WO wives by death )
before he made his full commitment
to jestls Christ. The disastrous events
preceding his conve rsion, his complete
financial collapse (at the age of 58
he was $7 million in debt), and his
wonderful expe rience of divine heal ing form a grippi ng, challenging story, ideal for personal witnessing.
A R cvivaflimr listener in West All is,
\vis., requested: "Please rush an additional 100 copies of What Happ{!1lcd
to J. C. PC lln C)'. They arc the easiest
thing to hand Ollt in witnessing!"
And in Hot ~pri ng s, S. Dak., a
member of the loca l Assembly told us:
"We wish to order more of the miniature hooks, What Happ ened to J. C.
Penllcy. T his is such a wonderful,
stirri ng testimony . \Ve orde red 100
copies and they were gone in no time.
Now our pastor s..1.ys to order 200
additional copies. We pray we will
win many souls with them. "
One Eastern Christ's Amha s5..1. dors
group has orde red 2,0Cl0 mini ature paperback s to use in their citywide soulwinning crusade! And the Anderson
(Ca lifornia ) Assemhly of God requested: "Please send 500 copies of
the j. C. Penney miniatures. We arc
going to u se them in a special doorto-door revival campaign."
Mr. P enney hiTllself is so impressed
with the treatment of this full-gospel
literature that he has requested a quantity o f them for his own use! He
wrote: "I think this is an excellently
p repared story, and I deeply appreciate
your interest in me. r have heard a
good deal about your fine cont ri hutions via radio . 1\[ay God continue
to bless yotl in the years ahead."
But personal lette rs are not the only

this u1l1qlle hook. A Rc'uivaitilll(' listener in \Vakcfield, Ka ns., testified:
"On a recent trip we stopped 111
I faTlliltoll. ~I(). Whi le there I \'isited
the manager of the j. C. Penney store
and gave him some miniatures. He
recalled :i'o'!r. Penney talking about
them when he visited the sto re earlier
in the sUlllmer. T his is the huilding
where ~rr. PennC'y workerl as a youth.
"Eve ryone to whom I give the mi niatu re hook s seems \'ery interested. T
d istri buted some copies in the laundromat, and placed copies in several other
public places."
Each summe r Rcvivaitilll{' listeners
unite their efforts to turn vacntioll
time into snlvation time. To assist in
this sUlllmer soul-winning crusade
C. ~I . \Vanl annually prepares a salvation-slanted distrihution piece, especially desig ned to catch the eye an d
gl'ip the heart of the unbelie\'er . This
year, as we ente r the fall season, the
gospel miniatures arc still in great dema nd. College studen ts arc eager to
dist ri hute the books among unsaved
classmates. C. A. groups plan to use
them in Street meetings and jail ser\·iccs. ;\[others, unhindered b\" vacationing youngsters, determ ine t~ spend
more timc vi siting unsaved frie nds and
loved ones.
A Brooklyn, N. Y., housewife
wrote: " I want to go into neighboring homes twice a week or oftener,
a nd I believe these miniature books,
placed in the homes of those to whom
I minister, will be richly blessed."
In anticipation of the many requests
for the life s tory of 1M r. Penney,
Rrvivaltime has pri nted an additional

hNe," RO-ye:u'-old :\1rs. Knapp,
crippled and h(·dfast. complained to
her pa!>tor.
"Prolmhly," he said. "because God
iSI1't ready to take you . He has some
work for you to do yet. Perhaps lie
wants 10 hear you sing a bit."
~lrs . Knapp stared at him. "\Vork:There's nothing I can do. I can't iron
clothes or mend . Sing? Not anymore.
\Vhat good am I ?"
Gelltly the minister helped her see
that although she was shu t in. she
need not he dormant. J USt as she had
givcn loving- service to the church in
her acti\'(' days, so now in old age
she could still he useful. hl'r life a
IIYlll1l 0/ praise.
Mrs. Knapp lislened to her pastor's
COllllscl and gradually her outlook
changed frOIll hopelessness to expect aTll~y. She came to see that. as :--.ioah
of old. she was also shut in for a
purpose (Genesis 7 :16). She learned
what Paul meant when he said,
"Though our outward humanity is
in decay, yet day by day we are inwardly renewed" (2 Corinthians 4:
16, NEB).
Of course, there were days when
i\lrs. Knapp had too much pain to
think about anything e1se, bu t there
were other days when bedtime came
hefore she had finished what she had
plallned to do. J f you arc a shut-in,
perhaps yOll call try some of the things
she and others have done.

DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS
1£ you can write brief notes, you
can brighten the day for a lot of
people. Sunday school teachers, leiJ,ders in the church, the minister, young
people. parents, the bereaved- all these
will ieel a lift when they receive a
note of encouragement from you. The
ministry of encouragement is always
in need of workers.
:-"lrs. Broadman. an eld~ rl y woman.
wrote a birthday note to a lively lillie
girl in her church. "r relllcmher when
yOtlr parems brought \'011 to church
the first time. Thcv wcre 0.;0 proud
of you. I p ray that vou will alway"
make them proud."
The child kept thi s lettt'r Ilmd <;he

it Out and read it. 1 {i10ng-ilt of how
kind l\lrs. nroadlllilil was 10 think
of 111e, and T wanted to be good."
You ca n write the editor of a magazine or newspaper Ihat is waging a
worthwhile crusade. or write to a radio
or TV station commending some fine
program. If you have access to a telephone, you can call ill yOllr appreciation. :-"'[ ake your caU brief and pleasant.
\Vrite an orphanage for the name
of a child with whol11 you can correspond. A corres ponding "grandmother" would brighten the life of
any orphan child.
Such a simple thing as reading the
Bible to others c.1n be a blessing. ).1 rs.
Petersoll. confined to a home for the
aged but blessed with fairly good eyesight. read the Bible to half a dozen
other women every morning. This
Illeant a great deal to those who were
no longer able to read.
You can give special gifts from
among your possessions so that relatives and fr iends call use and enjoy
them while you are living.
DO SOMETHING FOR GOD
You can do something for the calise
of Christ by checking the investmem
programs of your church. There arc
ways in which yOll can give the
money and yet have the interest income while yOll are living. A t your
death the money will keep on working
for the kingdom of God.

ALONENESS
Aloneness is a chilly word , pathetic , almost ugly . .
It cuts the throbbing heart fro m life;
it crushes t he spirit reachi ng fo r meaning; it cries
to fJlI the big empty hole in every waking hour ; it tires of p laythings
as s ubstitutes for people. Aloneness calls fo r a friend , someone
to be near , a real pe rson to be with .
T rue family spi ri t cont rad icts a loneness. The
fa mil y w r aps it s lo ve
a round each ind ividual
member to warm him ) to
offer understanding, to a fford refu ge, even to provide
meaning. Outside is a loneness; in side is famil y.
God 's love to ma n illustra tes beautifully th e relation ship of a Christian fath er and mother to their
children . To be a member
of God 's fa mily through
faith in Christ is to know
the fullest meaning of family. In fact , to be a child of
God fits one for a meaningful human experience. This
dissolves aloneness.
