TV Commercials Are Denounced By Poet Sandburg Speaks At Club Convention ASHVILLE. N.C. — (W — Poet Carl Sandburg startled a gathering of 3,000 women from across the nation Thursday night by denouncing television commericals for "inanity, asininity, silliness and cheap trickery.” Sitting beside him on the stage at the convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs was television star Arlene Francis, who had preceded him on the program. Sandburg watched Miss Francis receive a federation citation for her TV show "Home” NBC. Then, after being introduced himself, remarked drily: "When we reach the stage where all of the. people are entertained all of the time, we will be very close to having the opiate of the people.” Sandburg then launched into his criticism of television, movies, radio, and even contemporary poets, but directed most of his barbs at TV commercials. “More than half the commercials are so filled with inanity, asininity, silliness and cheap trickery that to every man and woman who loves children it’s a question of what's it doing to these young people,” he said. “And you’ve got to sit there and take it.” But Sandbury added, in a milder vein, that television is' a ‘young i medium and we will pray for it.” His audience burst into laughter and applauded. Later in his talk Sandbury mentioned that he had cut his biography of Lincoln from six volumes to one volume, reducing the price. He turned to Miss Francis and said, “and,that’s the only commerical you’ll get out of me tonight.” PLEASANT MILLS BAPTIST Chaa. O. Masten, pastor 9:30 a.m., Sunday school. Lowell B. Noll, S. S.

KvSavaxmm IntDTMtiongl Urulpm Ml Sund», SchMl twat ■••k(ma4 B« rlptar*: Genesis IS— S - Dsveilsaal Beaßiati Hosea 14. in ■ Reconciled Lesson for Juno », 1957 AT THE heart and beginning of Ji,the Christian life there is not a theory, or a set of propositions, but an experience. It Is the experience which is sometimes cslled healing, for the broken tissues of life are made whole again. It is sometimes called conversion, literally a tuming-around, for tn

it the direction and course of life is changed. It is sometimes called forgiveness, so that the church is called the fellowship of the forgiven. But there Is another word still which sums up and ex-

presses this central experience: Reconciliation. What this means can be seen in the story of a man I who'never really found himself—as no one does—short of being reconciled both with God and with man. Pmm With God There are two meanings (and more) of this word Reconciliation, and at the risk of insulting some reader’s intelligence the difference between these meanings must be pointed out In one meaning of the word, we say we are reconciled to something we can’t . help, as a cripple becomes reconciled to the loss of his legs, or a man is reconciled to his old age. Some people are "reconciled to God” only in this sense: they recognize his power and they bow to ! it—but they still don’t like It and they do not, love him. This is not true reconciliation in the Bible j sense. True reconciliation means 1 restoring a lost harmony, it means meeting with God in such away that- all the resentment, all the hostility and fear in our hearts is burned away by hi* Presence, and we feel ourselves at home with him. This is what happened, essentially, to Jacob at the brook where he wrestled with 1 the mysterious stranger. Whatever we make of that story, it is plain what Jacob thought about it. “I have seen the face es God,” he ■aid. Before that day. Jacob had had only one center of his interest: himself. After that day, he was God’s man. He was really born again. He had been at cross-pur-poses with God, now he was reconciled. God’s will was his will. Thinking correc) thoughts about God is never enough. One must personally meet him, personally yield to him, be personally reconciled. Naw With Man Right along with reconciliation with God comes reconciliation with man. In Jacob’s case, as with most persons, there was one particular man to whom he had to be reconciled—his brother Esau. When a man is converted, there is usually some particular person with whom he needs to become a brother again. It is an interesting fact that Jacob knew this well before his all-night meeting with God. But his idea of being reconciled with Esau was to buy him off, pay him to be friendly, by sending him large presents of fine cattle. After Jacob met with God, ho somehow knew that this was not the way. The only thing was to meet his brother in person. What happened between them had to happen in their hearts, it was nothing that could be measured in money. And Jacob said a startling thing, something he could not have thought of saying 20 years before: "To see your face is like seeing the face o* God.” NaHkar Withaat tha Other Peace with God and with man—they cannot be separated. No one can be really reconciled to God who cherishes hate or envy or anger toward his fellow-men. And no one can be heart-reconciled with other persons who is a stranger to the love of God. The New Testament makes it quite clear who needs to be reconciled i to whom. It is never said there I that God needs to be reconciled to man; but always that man must bo reconciled to God. It is man’s heart that needs to be changed, not I God’s. Jesus put both of these reconciliations inseparably together. Matt 5:23.24. If you are offering your gift at the altar—and this was a token of reconciliation with God—and at that very moment remember that your brother has something against you, stop right there. Leave your gift, and go. Be reconciled to your brother first ■nd then come and offer your gift to God. God desires the gift es man’s heart; but he does not desire the gift of a heart which U unreconciled to a brother-man.
