Record Dividends By New York Life The Fort Wayne branch office of the New York Lite Insurance company has been notified that the company will pay a record high total amount in dividends to its policy owners in 1966, according to Roy J. Schick, local general manager. The amount to be reserved for dividends to individual life insurance and annuity policy owners in 1956 will be approximately $93,200,000 as comparedorWith $82,700, 000 in 1955, an Increase of 12.7 per cent, Mr- Schick said. He added that of the 110/500,000 Increase, about $5,200,000 is due to growth of the company and $5,300,000 is the result of changed dividend scales for certain categories of policies.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

[the A [ ©3IBILIS Sund», School l—»« J Baek<r»nd ((rl>t«r*i Luka t:!-!!; 0:1-6; 10.1-14. DeaaUanal Readiest Isaiah 3S. The Good Hern Lesson for November 27, 1955 THERE is no such thing as the Christian religion, except in human beings. There is no such thing as the growth of Christianity, unless it grows in people. So how does Christianity spread? Only by one way: people who are Christians must '"W win people who W are not Chris- IF tians. People who know Jesus Christ must introduce .W j | other people to ( him. The church has a word for M this: it is called X Evangelism. Anybody who thinks ® r - Foreman | he doesn’t believe in evangelism is really saying that he doesn’t care whether there are any new 1 Christians or not. He is saying (though perhaps without realizing it) that what he calls his “faith” i is not worth talking about, or recommending to any one else. Preaching and Bringing— Our rather technical word “Gospel” means simply “Good News.” That is what it is called in tbe New Testament Not good advice, or good answers to philosophers’ riddles; just good news—about God, about Jesus, about destiny. Luke gives us some interesting and valuable hints about how this Good News was broad-: cast in Jesus’ own time and by his direction. One is in three words (Luke 8:1): Jesus came “preaching and bringing” the good news of the kingdom of God.! The Gospel is not something just for talk. A tape-recorder can give out a sermon; but a tape-record-er cannot be a preacher of the Gospel A minister who preaches on Sunday and disappears the rest of the week (if such there be) may be preaching the Gospel, but he is not bringing it. Jesus lived by what he preached. The: good news can be told by a clever | tongue; but it can be brought only by a consecrated life. What would, be thought of a grocery store j where, if you went in, you would see only empty shelves, and a flock of clerks who would buttonhole ygu and tell you all abouf the wonderful groceries — that aren’t there! And what can one think of a church where all you can find out about the love of God is just talk, and nobody brings the Gospel? The Gospel can’t be brought in a little parcel you can tuck under your arm like a prayer-book. It has to be brought in a man-sized package, a live sample. After a few months you can buy a “demonstrator” car or tractor cheap; but a "demonstrator” Christian is beyond price. Seed and Soils You would think that if we could only get Jesus Christ in person, as he was in Galilee, into our church, we could convert everybody. Well, he didn't. No one ever brought or preached the Gospel better than he; but he did not meet with 100% success. He gave a reason for this that any farmer or gardener can understand. Preaching the Gospel is like sowing seed, he said. Sometimes when you look at two fields you may find it hard to believe that the same seed was sown in both; but so it was. The difference is in the soils. In Hutchinson, Kansas, there is a grain elevator with a capacity of ten million bushels of wheat. Every bushel in the hundreds of bins can be traced back to the area where it grew. On the wall in the test-ing-laboratory of that elevator there is a map of Kansas, county by county; and the kind of wheat each county is producing, this year, is marked there. The same seed wheat, in different counties or in different parts of the same county, may have different protein content or vary in number of bushels to the acre. So some people are better Gospel-soil than others. To Preach an! to Heal When Jesus sept out his disciples to preach, he sent them to heal too. Health is the church’s business. Whatever affects man’s health of body, mind or soul, that is the church's affair. When she preaches and brings the Gospel, she has no right to say, “What we preach is only for your souL” The good news about God has transformed whole communities, it has changed the world for women, for children, for slaves, for downtrodden minorities. A gospel which is only for souls is not the Gospel Jesus preached and brou«’ i ’ t Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.—Swedish Proverb. The Christian life is lived by faith.

Every Dav Should Be Thanksgiving By J. R. Meadows As we have been observing this annual event this week let us realize that the success of Thanksgiving depends very largely on whether we have the habit of thankfulness. If for three hundred and sixty-four days we go on our way, saying at intervals, “Just my luck." or “It’s just what I expected," we will not find the real joy that is in Thanksgiving. Let us cultivate the thankful spirit. Pick out the blessings, in the days as they come along, and thank God for them then and there. May we make every day in the year a day of thanksgiving, and then the day set apart for the giving of thanks will be a success. Try it and see. We are sure it will please God if we will strive to be in the House of the Lord on next Sunday and every Sunday.
