HOW BEAUTIFUL TO BI J WITH GOD How beautiful to be with God, When earth is fading like a dream. And from this mist-encircled shore We launch upon the unknown stream. No doubt, no fear, no anxious care, But comforted by staff and rod, In the faith brightened hour of Death * How beautiful to be with God. Then let it fade, this dream of earth When I have done my life work here, Or long, or short, as seemeth best What matters so God's Will appear. I will not fear to launch my bark Upon the darkly rolling flood, 'Tis but to pierce the mist—and then How beautiful to be with God. Wayside Altar.

KbssssJ ML SPEAKS jssSai ... ln|an»t>oMl UiUom Bible Material: John U. DevetfoMl Banding: X John 1:7-11 New COMMBtaNri Tmui for March S, 1961 MANY MEN manage to think themselves much better than they are, because they have only the Ten Commandments for a standard. And they understand that famed code only in a strict literal fashion— which as Jesus showed us, is no way to take the

Dr. ronman

Ten Commandments. How long is it since you made a graven image ? Which of the women reading this column ever coveted a neighbor’s wife ? Robinson Crusoe and Dan’l Boone, in their respec-

tive wilderness, had no trouble about coveting what was their neighbor’s—they had no neighbors. The ElbvbrHi CamnaalMint Jesus added another Commandment, you know, which in an important way is not like the rest of those laws. It is not just another law, additional to the Ten Commandments. It is not a P.S. tacked on. You might better say that the Eleventh Commandment had been in God’s mind always. The eleventh interprets the others, it summarizes the others. Jesus himself said of love of God and man, that on these two commandments "hang all the law and the Prophets.” Measuring ourselves against this law, we do not stack up so well. This is particularly true when we hear Jesus saying to the group in the Upper Room: “•—that you love one another—even as I have loved you.” For we know what that "as I have loved you” means. Jesus died for those men, and for us. Love, sacrifice, even to the gate of death —that is the measure of his love; how often of ours? What Dm Leva MeaaT Mark Twain said, and is often quoted, that the parts of the Bible he didn’t understand.never bothered him. It was the parts he did understand that disturbed him. Most of us, and thia includes people who are not Christians at all, would like . very much to live in a world dom- * inated by love. We understand the meaning of love, at a distance. That is to say, we all want to be loved. We want somebody who will care about us. We want some one to look out for our interests, we want a “fan,” somebody that believes in us, somebody who will go out of his way to help us. When it comes to the pinch, right down in the bottom of our selfish hearts each of us hopes that if there are only four life preservers for five shipwrecked people, the other four will all insist that whoever drowns, it must not be Me. If we are driving along a road and suddenly a collision looms, don’t we hope the other man will obligingly drive into the ditch or wrap himself around a tree, rather than run into US ? Yes. “we know what love we want other persons to have it—for us. It is only when it is demanded of us that we grow hazy and hesitant. Love, we say to ourselves . . . well, you know what a vague sort of word that is, hard to pin down . . . After all, doesn’t it mean wiping people well ? It It Possible? No, my friend, it won’t do. You show you understand the meaning of love when it is something you want showered on you. It is only when you are asked to sprinkle a little bit of it on others that you pretend you don’t understand, and offer all these feeble substitutes. You show something else, too: how difficult it is to have genuine love. (Some observers of human nature would say at this point: "Difficult ? — Impossible!” You complain a good deal because the kind of love you would like to have, is so scarce. It is scarce because there are too many people like yourself—and indeed all of us are more or less alike in this. In fact, it is so difficult that many thinkers throw up their hands, so to speak, they give up the problem. Ifwhat is needed is love, and if the required quality of love is so hard to find (for remember all the time It is love at Christ’s level and on his standard that is in question)shouldn’t we just not aim so high ? That would be like saying to an airplane: Because you cannot reach the moon, you shall not leave the ground! Even the "impossible" ideal draws us closer to God.

TRUE WORSHIP IS COMPELLING Rev. James R. Meadows While talking with a non-church man friend of mine, he said, “I don’t want to show partiality by attending one church—l have lots of friends among the clergy.” “That is fine,” I replied, “but what you better concern yourself with is regularity and not partiality.” If you atend church for what you get, you have missed the point. If you attend church for what you give, perhaps that too is not very much. If you attend church for your example, that may be of little worth unless for some reason there are people there to catch that example. There is one good reason for church attendance, that is to worship and acknowlege God. All other

things are incidental. There are benefits, opportunities of service, and examples in such attendance, but the ability to presevere will belong to the person whose motive is single—i.e. worship. True worship is compelling—it is not a question of “feeling like it,” or convenience. It is an absolute acceptance of duty, and the belief that worship is the only thing a creature has to offer his Creator—all things are incidental. I wonder how many believe that? I wonder, in fact, how many of us truly worship? I wonder if the answer to both questions Is not the same? Yes, I wonder? But one thing I know, any one who believes in God must acknowledge that belief.
