Pastor's Column (EDITOR’S NOTE: Contributed by Rev. Raymond Mason, pastor of the Grace Bible church of Syracuse.) In the book of Proverbs 28:18 we read, “Where there is no vision the people perish." God often revealed his will, before the Bible was completed, by visible and dramatic demonstrations. Moses received a call through observing a burning bush. Prophets were often instructed to speak as they gave attention to visible signs and object lessons. Paul was converted when his attention was drawn by a special vision. He received a call to preach in the same manner and

declared that he was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. This is not, however, the kind of vision to which I refer. There is a spiritual perception possible for and expected of each of us today. If men and women in Bible times were given special attention concerning the will of God, why should we fail to heed His directions today when we have even greater advantages? The chart and compass is the Bible which someone observed was written “Not to tell us so much of how the heavens go as to. tell us how to go to heaven.” How is your spiritual vision? One time a man came to Jesus and a discussion must have ensued about spiritual vision. Anyway Jesus said to him, “Except a man be born again he can not SEE the

kingdom of God.” We understand, of course, that he was referring to spiritual perception and mental grasp of the Kingdom of God. Paul said that the natural man could not receive the things of God. So that we would conclude properly regarding spiritual vission, there is an act or an attitude which orfe would have to experience in oMer to see, apprehend, understand or know about God’s will formis life. This is essential. It is a matter of life and death. One might be physically blind and never see daylight, but he can never see God’s spiritual light until he has appropriated God’s special provision. We live in days when there are so many hindrances for those who would make an effort to give attention to God’s will for their

lonely, gnarled, and neglected, but a thing of beauty, isn’t it? We know that trees are functional, that is, they hold the soil, the good earth, the rain. But more than that, each tree, in loneliness or forest, sings out the praises of its Creator, God. Much more so, does man reflect the glory and. imagp. of God. He too then, must sing out the praise and honor to God, his Creator. There is a place for that worship and honor; it is your church. Whether {lonely, solitary, or in crowds, He awaits you «•. to hear and to answer. . \

lives. Here are just a few which some folks imagine to be real: 1. Too busy, I find folks really are busy, but God will not excuse us if we crowd Him completely out of our thinking. There was a certain ruje in the early days about giving Him proper place in the schedule. It is a known fact that the family will make room for Bible reading and prayer daily will have little difficulty with church attendance. This will set the pattern for the members of the family to find time to think about spiritual things. f 2. Too unwarthy. Some people feel that all of God’s provision apply to the other person. It is wonderful that He will forgive sin, make new creatures out of us, put a song in our hearts, permit the Holy Spirit to dwell within

us and assure us of heavens blessings but all of this is for the other person because they say, “I’m too mean.” As a matter of fact Jesus informed us_ that is the sinner who needs the physician and not those who are well. There is some advantage in knowing that we are unworthy and that is the very "time when we need to turn over our lives to Him and ask for spiritual vision. 3. Too difficult. There may be some who expect to be carried to the skies on flowery beds of ease, but the Lord never promised that living on this earth would ever be easy. If that were the case, then there would not be need for appeal to endure hardness as soldiers of Christ. I suppose it is the trend of the times to expect everything to be easy. Personal comfort and ease

is the main selling feature of all gadgets. We even let machines do our thinking for us today, but there has never been and never will be one that will care for this matter of our spiritual-relationship to God. We .have been warned about being “soft” towards inroads of Communism, and I believe we are, but much of it is due to the fact that most of us aren’t doing much real thinking spiritually, If we fail to evaluate things properly that have near and dear to us through the years, rest assured it is because we do not have proper vision. Our text reminds us that where there is no vision, the people perish. 4. Too confusing. Qf course, one can find sincere people in most every school of spiritual thinking. It is true that there are some who are just "going along for the ride.’” But by and large you will find every where a goodly number who have their feet on the ground and have done business with God in a personal manner, having accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into their hearts and are ready to meet Him. We realize, however, that in this same survey it will be found that many profess but have no vision. Jesus said that “He that willeth to dp the will of God shall know of the doctrine,” or words to that effect I repeat, “How well do you see?” This is a subject to which you dare not be indifferent. Spiritual indifference will lead to spiritual death. No church, crowd or ritual can ever put us in proper focus spiritually, but complete surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ of one’s heart, life and will, gives us the necessary vision we must have.

peace. First hunting together, they soon learned to live together. Ancient dog owners depended on unusual feeding meth-

ods. Some tried to keep new meat edible by burying it. Others whitewashed meat and hung it up a tree for storage I * In the days of Henry VIII, dogs ate as regally as their masters. Both sometimes dined on such delicacies as venison in sour cream, roast swan and stewed sea gulls! Nowadays, feeding dogs !s less complicated and more scientific. “In fact,” says Clarence C. Fawcett of the Purina Dog Care Center “in many homes, the dog actually receives a more balanced diet than the family!” “Variety is not essential for dogs,” he adds. “A good commercial dog ration may be fed daily and Is preferable to table scraps.” Large knucklebone* of beef may be fed but avoid smaller bones which tend to splinter.

PARTIALLY ANGELIC — A recipe for an “almost” angel cake was printed recently in The Salem Democrat It was explained that the recipe calls for only half the number of eggs used in making a “full” angel cake. LUCKY STRIKE — When Dee Pearson, an Odou coal truck driver, lost a billfold containing $lO2 a year ago, he made a thorough search and then gave up. Recently Wilmer Wittmer, a mechanic at a garage in the Daviess County town, was about to toss a scoopful of coal into a furnace when he noticed a foreign object in the scoop. He plucked it out and found it was Pearson’s billfold with the money intact. Pearson told The Odon Journal he recalled that he was delivering a load of coal to the garage when he lost the billfold. THE PAY OFF — Had a Johnson County justice of the peace known what was coming he might have been more lenient with a law violator brought into his court. Franklin Township Justice Frank Isreal imposed a fine of $80.25 on the man. According to The Johnson County News the “customer” came up with the cash to pay the fine—s2o in pennies, sl2 in nickels, sl6 in quarters and some bills of small denomination. It took Justice Isreal some time to make the countdown to be sure the fine was ,aid in full. STRANGE THINKING — The editor of The Putnam County Graphic, Kenny Bennett, says some motorists seem to have an odd sense of values. Says Bennett: “Very few fast drivers have no fear, so it seems, of losing their lives but they sure don’t want to lose their drivers’ licenses.” TWO OF A KIND •— A nationally syndicated columnist, Bert Bacharach, discovered recently that Hoosierland has two Pumpkin Centers on its official state maps—one in Washington County; the other in Orange County. Had he looked further he would have found it also has two Pinhooks, one upstate in LaPorte County and tile other in Lawrence County.

UPWARD TREND — It has been estimated that intercity for-hire trucks hauled 102 billion ton-miles in 1960. That is more than five times hauled in 1940. BACKWARD — The mushroom hunting season in Hoosierland got off to a slow start this year. In other years, editors have been besieged by hunters with stories about their finds. But not this year. As the season progressed some newspapers were offering prizes to hunters who might come in with exceptionally tall tales. ’ AN ULTIMATUM — The editor of The Rockville Tribune, George Schwin, Jr., will wear his Bermuda shorts this summer “or else.” The “Mizzus,” as the editor calls his wife, went to considerable pains, including a cut finger while using a razor blade to rip out some stitches, to enlarge the waist line and make some other alterations which would make the shorts more comfortable. Sizing up her handiwork, Mrs. Schwin reported: “A dress rehearsal convinced me that the shorts fit just fine now although you can tell the remodeling job wasn’t done by a professional. They are wearable though and they’d BETTER be worn.” NO HUNTING — A Daviess County farm wife made it crystal clear she wants no hunters of any kind trespassing on her property. She inserted this ad in a. newspaper: “No trespassing or hunting on my farm day or night due to fire hazards.’ This includes mushroom hunters.” FUNNY FOLKS — The editor of The Rochester Sentinel, Jack K. Overmyer, came across an essay on Americans. Overmyer says he doesn’t know the author’s name but he would like to. Among other things the author made these observations: “An American yells for the government to balance the budget and then takes the last dime he has to make a down payment on a car. He whips the enemy nations and then gives them the shirt off his back. He ( yells for speed laws to stop fast driving but he won’t buy a car that does less than 100 m.p.h.” /
