BAUMGARTNER SERVICE STATION You Expect n d You More From Get It On Road 15, North Milford, Indiana

Faster's Column A skilled nurse in a hospital in India was seated on the veranda reading when a Hindu woman came up the steps. The nurse rose to speak to the woman; as she did a copy of Holman Hunt’s picture of Christ standing at a closed door knocking, fell out of the nurse’s book onto the floor. The Hindu woman picked it up and looked at it. “Tell me about this” she said, “what does it mean?” The nurse proceeded to tell the story of Jesus standing at the heart’s door knocking for entrance. They said their good-byes and the woman went home. Summer passes away into autumn and autumn into winter. One cold winter day the nurse happened by the home of the Hin- I du womah whom she had talked with at the hospital. As she ap- , proached the door she noticed it open, rushing in expecting most anything, she found the old Hindu woman sitting in her chair huddled up in a blanket. “Don’t you know it is cold out, there is snow on the ground,” exclaimed the nurse. “Yes” remarked the woman, “I have felt the cold and the dampness, but I thought that perhaps your Jesus might pass ;by and I wanted him to find my door wide open.” There are very few of us today, wherever we may abide, that have a longing for the Master to enter their lives as that of the old Hindu woman. Our love for the world, its substance and our lack of energy expended for the Kingdom of God give evidence of our apathy today. Jesus once told a parable about a man who discovered a great amount of money in a tin can that had been hidden in the ground. The situation is not so astounding for this was the usual way of saving money. There were no banks available so the people hid their money in a place known only to themselves or their family. Often families were driven from their homes due to war, famine or disease. They expected to return, so they left the money hidden in hope of recovering it later. As the story goes, a man rented such a field and while plowing he dug up a great sum of money. He' counted it, placed it back in its hiding place and proceeded to sell all he had, he borrowed what money he needed and bought the field. There was nothing this man would not have sacrificed to obtain this field of great price. The pearl of great price found in Matthew 13:45-46, illustrates again how man finds a pearl of great worth, sells all and buys this one pearl. Again, the treasure and the pearl in the parable, if likened to the life of the Master, serve as a challenge for the lives of the people today. Very few today have recognized the value of the Master Jesus Christ to the extent of giving up home, family and riches to gain the life described by the Master. This is for one of two reasons, we either don’t recognize the value of Christ or we fail in accepting the challenge to give up our grip on the world. It is said that Satan one time had a public auction sale of his tools of trade. Many came to see the various tools, among them were envy, hatred, jealousy, vanity, deceit and many more. But on a large box at the end of the table laid a tool, as Satan said, that he i

had used more often than any other tool in the whole shop. With it he had divided homes, churches and communities. This tool was contentment, the ability to be aware of need in the present situation. This tool was not sold, however, for it is still in use today. And as long as common people like us that live in communities like ours are content with our lives as they are, Satan will continue to draw great interest on his effort to draw up apart from the life of Christ. The solution then lies in the words of Jesus when he said, “Take up your cross daily and follow me.” There is no greater thing of worth no matter what your standard of life may be, than the life of Jesus Christ. And the longer we are content, the longer our lives, our community, our nation and our world will be in turmoil

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (!) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. .w.r .h.. 41 ni'niaiiiVi ii I

It was in May, several years ago that Mildred moved next door. That was a break for Eric. It is so easy to get acquainted with one’s neighbors. The first date naturally called for careful strategy. You don’t want to seem too eager — but you want to know what she likes . . . and what she’s like. Eric’s and Mildred’s first date was a Youth Fellowship supper at the church. Eric happens to be a leader of this group. And Mildred happens to be an earnest Christian girl. Os course, happens is a very broad word. It means that Eric’s and Mildred’s parents had once decided that a son or a daughter ought to be given the advantage of religious training. Now Eric and Mildred are engaged. And everybody says they were meant for each other. And the altar before which they take their vows will be the heart of the religious life of their family.
