Mrs. Vernon Hurst, Adams county chairman, announced today that Mrs. Florence Hazen, state chairman, and all county chairmen will attend to prepare for the drive. Plans for the May 10-June 21 drive have been tentatively arranged, but the Huntington meeting will cement them. The hope Chest campaign will raise funds for research, fellowships and scholarships, clinics, therapy, wheel chairs, crutches, and other equipment for needy patients. MS is a crippling disease that affects the central nervous system. It causes the greatest disability among young adults, 20-40 years old. The cause and cure of the disease remain unknown at this time, but scientists are working incessantly with hope in sight. Chapter volunteer and professional workers carry out vital aid programs to help patients and their families. From these efforts, the answers are starting to take shape. More help is urgently needed. Six common symptoms of MS are listed below. Each in itself does not mean MS —when three or more, however, do appear medical advice should be obtained. _ 1. Paralysis 2. Seeing double 3. Inability to talk clearly 4. Staggering and falling 5. Tremors of the hand 6. Lack of bladder or bowel control. To Present Concert Al Church Sunday

Devotional Beading: II Samuel 1:17-27. | ■ L ""I Tragic Failure Lesson for April 19, 1959 KING SAUL had the makings of success; but he failed. We must not exaggerate his failure, for there were some who remembered him with pride, and even named sons after him. The great Christian apostle Paul ha<J been named Saul by his family’' for example.

'1 i MU J saK . J B i ■■■ 4V

Nevertheless, as kings went, and especially when compared with the great King David, Saul missed the mark. As we were saying last week, he was like a man with a good hand who

plays badly and Dr ’ Foreman loses the game after all. What went wrong with him ? Volet of God At a time in his life w'hen a throne would have seemed a fanciful dream, the prophet Samuel had taken Saul secretly, and solemnly poured oil on his head, thus anointing him to be the future king of Israel. This was before the great battle of Jabesh that gave Saul his national reputation. Saul himself may have taken Samuel’s prediction seriously, because he went on back to his farming. But after the people voted him in as the first king, Saul would of course remember Samuel and the secret anointing and prophecy. There is no doubt that Saul was convinced that Samuel was a true prophet, that he spoke with the authority of God himself. Samuel was the one link with God that Saul had. He had no Bible to study, no church to help him, and ;he himself was anything but a religious genius. David and others seem to have been able to understand God’s will by direct revelation; but for Saul, God’s voice and will had to come to him through the prophet. The most serious element in Saul’s failure was right here: he stopped caring what the voice of God said JHe figured, perhaps, that

since God had given him his start, he would be bound to approve whatever he did. He was never more mistaken. God wants his servants to succeed, but if they aim at the wrong kind of success, or if they adopt wicked ways of attaining good goals, he withdraws his support. God is not going to work for and against himself at the same time, and he will not encourage men to do so either. Voice of Self

Saul made another mistake often made by strong men. It is worse than an ordinary mistake, it is a calamitous error, asin that tears a man to pieces quickly. It is the sin of listening to his own desires and ambitions first of all. “If I want it, It must be all right” is a silly remark. You would not believe people could be so foolish as to make it. You would not think that any one would set up his own judgment above that of God; but many do. The way their mind works is familiar to all of us, because we have all some time or other argued to ourselves just the same way. “Look,*’ we say to ourselves, "of course I listen to the voice of God, and I used to hear him speaking in the Bible or in the Church. But lately I have come to that the Bible and the Church don’t exactly strike my needs. I believe God will speak to me In my own thoughts.” (and more of the same.) You see what this does: it either sets up one’s own thoughts as better than God’s, or else it identifies one’s own thoughts with God’s will. Vein of the Crowd

The third mistake Which Saul made was perhaps one of the most common, In our day or any time. It was letting the voice bf the crowd speak for God. Pilate made that mistake, and so have countless others. But you can’t get right and wrong figured out by arithmetic. What is right to do can never be found out by counting votes. And yet people keep on making that foolish blunder. They read In the Kinsey Report that certain sex sins are widely practiced among the people interviewed by the author; and leap to the conclusion that what eo many people do must be right. And so they conclude that what so many people do can’t be wrong. They never do ask the question: What does God have to •ay? ■ • ' ’ 7 '
