Are We Growing? Lesson tor July 11, 1954 &

WHEN Is a “grown person” grown? AU sensible grownups know that they are not quit* fully grown in some ways. Whenever you see an adult taking a correspondence course, or taking

Dr. Foreman

dancing lessons or trying to play a better game of golf, or being a smarter farmer or business man or what not, there you see a grown person who knows he still has room to grow, and can grow. Psycholo-

gists tell us that one of the great scientific discoveries of this age is finding that adults are plastic, that is to say, no one is ever too old to learn, too old to grow. Growing U| to What? The tragedy is that many Christians, these same people who are. not content to be just the same farmer or golf-player they used to be. these same people who 'are growing in other ways, are content to be no bigger or better Christians than they were 20 ydars ago. As Christians, they are dwarfs, midgets. They stopped growing long ago. It is worth white to remember that Paul’s letters were written to grown people, not childrep; yet he urges these adults not to be children any more! Paul has a good deal to say about growing as a Christian, and he points out that this is the most important growth there is. The first thing you want to know, in growing anything. Is what you want this thing, this plant or animal or what not, to be. When a home gardener raises tomatoes, he always has in mind the pictures on the seed catalogue cover. When a horse breeder in Kentucky raises a colt, he has some great race .horses in his mind’s eye. If you don’t know whbre you are headed, you can’t teU whether you are making progress. Now the Apostle Paul leavei no dou|| as to what is the goal of Christnm growth. It is not a what at all. but a whom. The measure of Christian manhood is Christ himself. Growing Season Life brings us some crises when we grow up. so to speak, overnight. But these are rare. It is all a mistake to sit around waiting fox something marvelous to happen all at once. The Bible’s epiphasis on growing suggests that we become more Christlike by degrees. There are springtimes of the spirit when growth is faster than in life’s winter nights. But the growing season for the Christian is the year round. This is specially important to remember when we are up against something that seems to block us off and kwep us from any progress. We must remember what we were thinking about last week, that growing demands effort, effort against odds sometimes. Is it likely that the young man Jesus found Nazareth the kind of town that helped him to increase in favor with God and man? No; but the very fact that be had to push against the down-drag of that village, made him stronger If you want to grow stronger physically, you will have to lift heavy weights, not egg-shells. It you want to grow mentally, you will have to study something harder than the multiplication the primer. So we may be helped to grow in spirit by those very things which make it hard to be a Christian. Hew to Do It *• There would be no point whatever in the command given more than once. “Grow!" If there were nothing we could do about It II Peter 3:18 gives one extremely valuable hint: “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour." If growing tn his grace seems a bit hard to understand, growing in knowledge of him Is surely plain enough. Do we want to grow as Christians? Do we want really, to be more like the Master? Then we shall have to know him better. There are two ways of knowing Christ bettor. Ono is to read the gospels more often, think about them more. Matthew. Mark. Luke and John to be the most familiar books the Christian knows. But Christ is far more than • historical character. Ho lives today In the hearts of those who love and work with him. It is possible, and for a growing Christian It is necessary. to know Christ as the “unseen companion.” the Christ who through his Spirit "dwells in the heart by faith." But bow can Christ live in the heart, if the mind never gives him 0 r thought? The only perfect and satisfying object of fatlh is God’—Young. People look at my six days in the week to see what I mean -on the seventh.—Ceci!. -

NEED OF CIVIL (f oat lagod From rtge Oae) and an operations officer. *The organization would also include intelligence, transportation, legal, supply, communications and public. information officers, would be technical, health, police, utilities, wardens, emergency, fire and light rescue, clearance and heavy rescue? facilities, self-protection and ground observ-' er divisions. Although this organization may seem too large. Miller stated that the recent test operation proved it much too small. The test operation was a dismal failure, Miller remarked. • jle reminded he audience that Indiana may not be on the sea coast but is on Die air coast and again emphasized that civil defense wus in the hands of the people. He ended by stating strongly that the difference of a weak and a strong civil defense program can mean the difference of freedom or slavery. The evening concluded with a color sound film on the test of the hydrogen bomb in the Pacific. The film showed what would happen if such a bomb or 'bombs were dropped on American cities. Jack Gordon, manager of Western Auto store In Decatur, has accepted the post of county director. A meeting will be held in the. near future to begin county organization. Attending this meeting will be Mayor Doan, heads of various organizations, county and city officials and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, industry and labor.

GOVERNOR __(Coatiaaed Froi Page Oae) perintendency of the penal farm at Putnamville, after it appeared late Thursday that the institution was blessed or cursed with two heads. - k> A state department of public information release stating that Harold A. Roth of Crawfordsville had “resigned” as penal farm superintendent to take a job as secretary of the state board of tax commissioners brought a reply from Roth that he hadn't either resigned. Which would seem to leave the penal farm with two heads, since Thomas E. Tiffee of Brazil was sworn in as the new superintendent Thursday. According to Coats, Tiffee is the superintendent, not Roth. One theory about the penal farm mixup was that Roth had discussed taking, the tax commission, job and decided it was not as appealing to him as the penal farm superintendency, which actually pays more in practice than does the new job for which he was slated by the governor. . Tbs pay for the tax commission secretary is S7OO higher annually, but that's not enough to make up for the house, food and car provided to the penal farm head in addition to his $6,300 salary.

Look Beyond The Horizon By Mrs. J. R. Meadows Our blessed Lord constantly reminds His followers to look be-, yond the present life, with all its sad experiences and disappointments, to the future glory. Christianity is pre-eminently a religion of hope. Jesus has bidden us to lift up our Tearful, weeping eyes. He has written the word “Hope” over our churchyards. He bids us look beyond the narrow horizon of this life. He shows us the glorious vistas of eternity, not dark and empty and silent with death, but filled with the radiant stars of hope and life, and alabaster cities, and gleaming walls, and a house of many mansions, and a blessed host of the redeemed which no man can and a glory song that never diet. Thank God for a living hope. Thank God for a living Savior! Attend the church of your choice next Sunday.
