A Thanksgiving Thought

I want to belong to a church which is not content to be a coaster, or a glider, or a stand-patter. I want my church to have a taste for the upgrade. % - I want my’ church to pull me — a little; to push me when I lag behind or when obstacles are a little too great; but to climb all by myself, and even to be most of the time I want it tq teach me able to do a little pulling! —Virginia Frederick McGill

Never does a Thanksgiving approach that I am not bitten with the nostalgic, and perhaps during no period of the year do Iso long to be a kid again. . I have liked all holidays, but Thanksgiving would find a shade of preference if a decision were to be made, simply because it was always a day of pleasant variety and zestful living. - Yeu see, where I was raised football took on the same feverish support that is prevalent here in basketball, and Thanksgiving was the culmination of an emotionally high pitched sport filled three months. We cheered ourselves hoarse each;Saturday, fought the game over and over during the following week and by the last Thursday in November, when we met our arch rival, we were generally fit to be tied. At 10:30 a.m. on the dot the gun went off for the kick-off and the battle was on. Our bands gave the same colorful performance between halves that is experienced at the college games eoday, and the side issue stunts pulled were manifold. -When you consider that eighteen thousand people packed our high school stadium each year for this all important game, you can understand the magnitude it had reached in the eyes of we townspeople. : In the four years I attended high school, our team won three of the encounters. The year we lost brought tears to boys and girls alike, and lite seemed hardly worth livihg. Yes, we took it just that seriously. But- what joyous days the other three years provided, and when we started home for the turkey Mother had stayed home to prepare, our hearits were gay and our appetites swelled.

I attended these Thanksgiving events from the day I was six years old, and for twelve straight years I never missed a Saturday seeing my favorite team play football. I traveled to Cleveland, to Dayton, to Louisville and to other towns they played in. I filled my fall with football, and generally didn’t get down to the:tasks of school work until the turkey‘had been digested, and the Thanksgiving holiday was over. Thanksgiving dinner was always the greatest of occasions with my family for we ate heartily (a dinner cooked by the best cook in the world) and spent the afternoon in pleasant conversation with every membeér of the family present and happy. When evening came, preparations were in order to ready myself for the Football dance, and the favorite girl at the moment had been asked for this date days in advance. Our day was completed around the tables at Cable’s (no poetry intended), a popular beanery, where we generally ordered fruit salad and ice cream and rehashed the day’s game, dinner and dance. i Such was my Thanksgiving for four careless, beautiful years, and the pleasantness of the day has never since lost its flavor. ; Comes the thought of turkey and the smell of crispness in the air, my thoughts go back to those rollicking days that hold so prominent a place in my memory. I shall probably never forget them, but why should 1? It’s the Pleasantries in life that are worth remembering. Other things should find their way to oblivion, / \

& )/ c@ ) T { ‘g ‘ ® \Phillips & - REAL CAMPAIGN HEROES The real standouts for- real courage, strength of purpose and endurance in the presidential campaign were not Thomas E. Dewey or Harry S. Truman. e They were Mrs. Dewey, Mrs. Truman and Margaret Truman. What the women folks of a presidential candidate had to endure amounted to ‘heroism beyond the call of duty,” and there should be a medal for it. Nobody got knocked around on the altars of patriotism more than these girls. . e There was the great burden of having to smile, to laugh, to seem unruffied and happy when everybody knows that no woman gets a kick out of rattling . around railroad yards day after day and night after night and. to what purpose? To hear their OWN husbands talk! el How things went to pot around the house! How the dust accumulated! How the dirt piled up behind the doors! And the mixup over the laundry! The milk that wasn’t stopped! The things that happened to Fido! ; « Mrs. Truman, Margaret and Mrs. Dewey “seen their duty and they done it.” They seemed pleased, calm and cooperative. No photo showed a frown on their faces, which is more than could be said for their husbands. They conveyed the idea, ‘“‘How wonderful that fate has cast me in this glorious role!"” But what they really were thinking was, “If this cockeyed ordeal goes on one more hour I'll scream,” and, *lf the old man drags me onto another platform I'll come out against him myself!”’ ' ‘ e 3 Their thoughts if recorded might have run like this: “Another terrible day of it! . « - How long does this sort of thing go on? . . .

Dear Editor: : Increased capacity at two state park hotels by installation of heating units in employee’s quarters, thus releasing more rooms for guests, has ' now been completed. The hotels thus being improved are Clifty Inn at Ciifly Falls and Potawatomi. Inn at Pokagon. Ten rooms are expected to be freed for guests at Potawatomi—the state hotel in Indiana’s winter wonderland—when a heating plant is completely installed in quarters

God's Story-Teller. : Lesson for N—;\;:lber 28, 1948

“TRUTH in a tale,” it is said, “will enter in at lowly doors.” The greatest truth of the entire Bible does. not come to us in the

shape of an essay but of a story—the story of Jesus. “The gospel did not appear on the editorial page but on the news pages.’” Many people can understand essays; millions more can understand. a story. Jesus himself, when he gave the world

his message, used stories to do it. We are told that he never made a talk to the people without using a parable. The parables of the Bible are simple stories, often no more ~than a sentence long. : They are all alike in this: Whatever the story may be, there is more in it than meets -the eye. Parables were not a form of entertainment; they were a way of teaching. *+ & = : No Cause Is Lost SOMETIMES the teller of a parable would explain what he meant, as Isaiah does with his little 'song of the vineyard. Sometimes, and most often in Jesus’ case, the meaning is so plain that only a very stupid person could miss it.. Matthew: arranges several of Jesus’ parables in pairs; one of . these is the twin story of the mustard seed and the yeast in the meal _(Matt. 13:31-33). Both mean the “same thing, and both are so obvious that Jesus did not think it necessary to explain them. - = ' The Kingdom of Heaven—the ~ ideal world, the world as God intends it to be—is a living thing, a growing thing, something at first small, almost in- ‘ visible. But it will grow{ you .~ cannot stop it. VR e So the ideal world, the Kingdom of Heaven, (Jesus hints) is not an _artificial thing, it cannot ‘be constructed by blueprints, 1t has to

follow the course of living things. It does not come all of a sudden,it grows very quietly. You might not see the seed in the ground, but the farmer knows it is there. ** * v Pearl of Great Price : SOMETIME_S two or three of Jesus’ parables are like a musical theme with variations. The twin stories of the pearl worth more than the jeweler’s whole collection, ' and of the treasure hidden in the field, are very much alike, yet just a little different in meaning. : Both tell us that the Kingdom of God is more valuable than anything else on earth; indeed, it includes everything else: of value. But the stories are different. One tells of a man who was looking for something, the other tells of a man who was surprised by finding something. Once a Chinese gentleman became dissatisfied with his inherited Confucianism, and ' set - out to find a better religion. For years he shopped around, never finding what he needed. He left Christianity to the last, for in his section of China dnly coolies and peasants were Christians. But.when he began fo . make friends with spme real Christians, he was overjoyed. This was what he had been ~ looking for. This was the pearl of great price. S e On the other hand, a drunken sailor, certainly not looking for religion, wandered one night into a Salvation Army meeting, They could do nothing with him, but before thex dragged him off to the lodging-house one of them slipped a bit of paper into his pocket. The next morning, cold sober, wondering where he was, he put his hand into ' that pocket and pulled the paper out. On it were pencilled three words: God loves you. It hit him right between the eyes; and he became a Christian.. That was the “‘treasure hid in the field.” - ~ .s 2 @ : 2 How Far Will Love Go? -~ JESUS’ contemporaries told para--7 bles too, but they have all been forgotten. Jesus’ parables aré . incomparable, unforgettable, immortal. If Jesus had been known for nothihg else, he would have ‘been remembered for the four stories of the Good Samaritan, the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, the Lost ‘Son. e e oy .

IT WAS a bright spot, among many other bright spots, to run across Rip Miller again at Annapolis. Rip, if you can’t remember that far back, was one of the Seven Mules who supported the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame some 20 odd years ago.

The Seven Mules were an exceptionally strong line, merely overshadowed in the matter of publicity by Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. Rip can still tell you about the time the Seven Mules stopped Ernie Nevers and Stanford on the one-

Big Nine and all. This is something I can prove. “What is coaching?” Rip asked. “Ninety per cent of coaching is the material you have. I get a laugh when .I read about certain great - coaches who only happen to have the best material. A dozen coaches could win with that sort of material. And win just as easily. Maybe two dozen coaches could do the same.”” Rip Knows the Answers " Rip has been around a long time, ~and if he doesn’t know the answer, who does? He is 100 per cent right about coaches and material. He was also right about the hyprocrisy of so many of the spotless leagues who are after every good football player in- sight. Especially where ‘they have football scholarships. And a big: cash reserve. “We have a tough job at Navy,” Rip said. ‘““The course is hard, both mentally and physically with so . many long working hours a day, there isn’t much time left for football. It is all tired concentration. “We have an outstanding star. . as & rookie. He’s really something. He’s leaving—can’t take it. We’ve got the greatest bunch of young féllows here you ever saw. Not many football players. Great officer material. ‘““Too many good football players today want it easy. Good pay and little work. It’s a good job, if you can get it. Only we can’t offer them any such set-ups.” : - One answer is they are aiming for the Bears, Eagles, Yankees, Gi--ants, etc. Maybe $20,000 a year for playing 15 or 20 minutes a game.
