Christianity's Final Proof

John E. Zercher For reasons we can only surmise, the Apostle Paul had his detractors. His apostieship was denied; his authority ignored; his theology questioned. He defended his apsotleship by asserting that he too had seen the resurrected Christ—one of the requirements for apsotleship. He supported his theology by his claim that he had received his gospel (message) directly from Christ and not second-handed from \ other apostles. In this chapter Paul follows another course in support of his authority. He offers as proof the changed lives of the Corinthians—“You are our letter of recommendation. . written with the Spirit. . on tablets of human hearts.” We are knowledgeable of “proofs” which are offered to support the Christian faith. They have a validity

II Corinthians 3

and need to be taken seriously* However, the capstone to Christianity’s claim to uniqueness and validity is the growing towards Christlikeness of those who art Christians. In a skeptical age this Christlikeness of Christians stands as compelling evidence. The transformation of selfish and proud men and women into loving people who care and who reflect in the common relations of life the beauty of Christ is hard to gainsay—even by the most skeptical. The fact that there are those who claim to be followers of Christ but flail to reflect His likeness is Christianity’s great scandal. That there are those who iqjaith and obedience allow the Spirit to make out of them anew people, being transformed into His likeness, is Christinity’s great proof.

School Safety Week In the next few weeks more than 1 million Indiana school children will be heading back to class including those who will be attending school for the first time. To promote safer traffic conditions for the young students, the Chicago Motor Club - AAA is conducting its 28th annual School’s Open Safety campaign. The program is designed to remind motorists that children will be walking to and from school again so they must be cautious when the youngsters are present. Gov. Otis Bowen has joined the Club’s safety campaign by designating Sept. ,2 through Sept. 9 “School's Open Safety Week’’ in Indiana. In his message to the people of Indiana Governor Bowen said, “The first week of school is a particularly dangerous period for those children who will be starting to school for the first time, and for those who may have forgotten their safety rules over the summer months. “It is essential that throughout the school year the lifesaving School Safety Patrols in Indiana be aided by our citizens everywhere in making the streets and highways safer for our youngsters.” Motor Club president Gerald W., Cavanagh welcomed the support of Governor Bowen and urged all motorists to be extremely cautious when children are near the street or road not only during the first back-to-school days, but throughout the entire year. Cavanagh said that cooperation by motorists has been a vital factor in reducing by 50 per cent the accident rate for school children since the Chicago Motor Club first founded the School Safety Patrol in 1920. Noting the School Patrol’s outstanding record of more than 19,000 lives saved in the Club's Illinois-Indiana territory during the first half century of service, Cavanagh also stressed the need for parental responsibility for child pedestrian safety. “Children should be shown the safest route to and from school and parents have the continuing responsibility of teaching youngsters to be cautious and safe pedestrians.
