Traveling
By MARIETTA FULLER Travelers are still talking about the wonders of the World’s Fair at Knoxville, Tenn., the breathtaking view of the Grand Canyon, the majestic splendor of the Redwoods in California, etc., but the greatest journey to be made is the one of life as we travel along the King’s* Highway to heaven. : Whom should we take with us? Christian friends make the trip more enjoyable, but there is one companion who is a l ‘must” and that is our Lord God. He said, “Lo, I am with you always,” and “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” How do we find the way for “there is away that seemeth right unto a man. but the end thereof are the ways of death? (Prov. 16:25) The entrance to life is a narrow one for it begins with the Lord who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” (Jn. 14:6) However, as we walk with God, the broader the path becomes for His blessings do abound. Where is our road map? The Word of God is a lamp unto our feet guilding us in the right direction. How shall we dress? Since man looks on the outward appearance but God on the heart, we need to put on the righteousness of Christ. Sin does not have to be an obstacle if we but use Highway 1 Jn. 1:9: “If we confess our sins.

Ruth Circle met at 7:30 p.m. at the church with 15 members present. Jenny Oswald and Joan Sharp were hostesses for the evening. Elva Hershberger, leader, read “A Few Women,” and activities for Sagebrush Days were discussed with all encouraged to participate.

Reading lists were distributed at all three circle meetings.
He is faithful and just to forgive us ...” A car needs gas to run but we must have the filling of the Holy Spirit for each day’s journey. We stop often for food. What refreshments are essential? As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word (the Bible) that ye may grow thereby.” (1 Ptr. 2:2) “ . . . strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reasons of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (Heb. 5:14) We need the sword (words of the Bible) to travel the highways for Satan is a treacherous enemy; but Dick Eastman says, “An hour in prayer gives the devil a scare.” Therefore, we should travel paths of habit for it is good to set aside time for prayer, for thanking and praising God, and for reading the Bible. Psalms 120-134 were sung by Jewish travelers on the way up to the Jewish temple for the annual day festival. The hymns reflect the thoughts of a pilgrim traveling far from home. As pilgrims, this world is not our home; we are just passing through and it is good to sing songs as we travel on our way to a citv whose Maker is God. In traveling the road to eternal life, we will encounter many things to deter us; but, with our faith, we will perservere and be victorious At last we will be able to greet our Lord and Master.

mF” TO LECTURE — In a lecture ia Gashen entitled ’’The Consiousness of the Healing Christ,” Christian Scientist John A. Grant will link Christian healing to what he describes as the vital relationship between God and man. The consciousness of God is what Christians often regard as the presence of the Christ, the lecturer points out. Such understanding certainly did not cease to exist 2.000 years ago, and it can still be demonstrated by mankind, he insists. In the course of his remarks, several specific cases are described — drawn form his own long experience as a public practitioner of Christian Science — in which healing came about through a prayerful understanding of God. Grant is also an authorized teacher of Christian Science. Born in Wales, he was educated in England. China, and Canada. Grant taught landscape design at the University of Washington in Seattle and lectured on horticulture and garden design on the Pacific coast. He has authored three books on gardening. The lecture begins at 8 p.m. Friday, May IX at the Holiday Inn. U.S. 33 East. Goshen, sponsored by First Church of Christ. Scientist. Goshen.
