Time Out
FOR THOUGHT
Syndicated by the Rosicrucians
AMORC. San Jose, California

Nations fail men. because mon
expect them to perform in a super
human. Men cannot exact from a
nation a compound, the element of
which it does not possess. Men
squabble. lie, cheat and rob in the
smallest circles that constitute their
business, social and family lives,
but demand that the conduct of d
nation never fall short of their
highest visionary idealism. If the
state were divinely established and
administered. the contrast between
the conduct of men and what thev
sought in the state would not seem
so inconsistent. 1t would be rea.iz-
ed that men are not gods and
therefore do not live the perfect
life but could at least seek it In
the state. However, the minds and
hands which fashion the state, are
Of mortals stricken with all hum
anity's ailments, mental, physical
and moral. Why then, should we
presume that in pacts and plans
entered into between nations, some
alchemicaI process is invoked which
transforms the jealousies, treach-
cries and greed which arise in per-
sonal agreements between men, in
to frankness, honesty and unselfish-
ness?
Man cannot make a perfect ma
ton or expect it to exhibit sterling
qualities unless the men of which
it is composed are like wise sterl-
ing in thought and conduct. A
house represents the concept OF
beauty of its builder-a nation re-
presents the inner convictions Of
its statesmen and people. Poverty.
disease and hysteria influence the
thought of people. As an individual
is affected psychologically by his
physiological condition, so is a ma
tion.
1t is time the illusion of expect
ing great things from nations COM
posed of sick peoples-whether that
illness be physical, mental or NOR
al-be shattered. Until a nation as
a people. not an intangible thing
called a state, can cure its own
family ills, rid itself of local dis
eases-that is social disorders, la
Dor and capital fevers. political
pollution and religious intolerance
nothing noble can be expected
when it acts collectively as state.

THE CHURCH is ALWAYS
SOLICITING MEMBERS

The minister and the church is
making constant bid for people to
identify themselves with the in
stitution. Sometimes this bid does
almost run into compulsion and is
over done. But no people, no
church. No members, no institu-

The church is maintained year
in and year out, by a group of peo-
pie who believe in its value and
worth to the life of the community.
Invitation is extended to people to

Building Materials
Down In Prices

The downward trend of building
materials prices. as shown by Fed
eral Government reports from all
sections of the United States, is

Citing statistics from the U. S.

ing.
Well let's see-Did you ever
know Of a church to hurt anybody?
Did you ever know of church to
send a man home drunk-or cause
him to have a hangover? Did you
ever know of a church to create
juvenile delinquency problem in
your community? Have you ever
known of a man to be hurt in his
life because he inculcated the i'd
eals of truthfulness, honesty, cour-
age, love, self control Reliability,
faith, goodwill, industry in his life?
Lets be honest.
On the other hand, | have seen
hundreds of men and women who
had lost courage, self-respect, hope,
and ordinary respect for the decen-
cies of life to be rescued from their
defeats and failures thru the inspira
ton Of the church and her ministry.
Is that to be laughed at?
Let's be fair-People do not go
around kicking dead horses. And
peop'e who love the sanctity of
the home, who love quality in life.
who believe in and love children,
who want to live in a community
that offers them security from
blight, protection for loved ones,
don't go about cussing the church
and it's leadship.
When a man sets about to criti-
else a constructive fine thing the
reflection is on him rather than on
the thing he attacks.
| never heard my parents ever
speak an unkind word concerning
a church or a minister These may
not have been perfect but they re-
spected the institution and the pro-
fession for what they represented if
they could not respect them foc
what they were.
AS for perfection, | can go into
any business represented by this
group and find plenty in five min
utes that could be improved upon
or that didn't suit me- But reco-
gniZe that the thing for which any
legitimate business stands for over
shadows any short comings it may
possess.
There are quack doctors. There
are shyster lawyers. There are
crooked merchants. There are dis
honest bankers. But none of them
represent their professions in their
short comings. They are to their
professions what a blight is to Il
beautiful and necessary plant. We
should attack the blight, not the
plant that it lives off of. So lets
be honest about the ministry.
CONCLUSION
| honor the profession, although
| may not confer honor on it.

MORE FALSE IMPRESSIONS
A MINISTER NEVER WORKS.
What is meant by work is hard TO
tell True he does little manual
labor. He does not keep strict of
flee hours-that is, he doesn't in
a community like this. However, in
city with a large congregation.
the schedule is very strict and
very exacating.
But the minister works and like
the doctor he cannot be definitely
confined to hours. Like the doctor
he is subject to call at all hours
and carries his work with him.
No successful minister is lazy.
The preparation of sermons en-
tails a lot of time and study if they
are worth listening to. Good min
listers do not just stand up and open
their mouths to preach sermons. A
good sermon delivered in thirty
minutes may be the results of
months of study, and thought.
But the delivery of sermons is
only a small part of his work. In
churches of any size a minister is
expected to be an executive, an
organizer, an orator, a business
man, financier, teacher, social
success-and in this section of the
country, the janitor, yard boy, and
general f,unky in addition.
Not only must a minister work
but he must be a many sided man
and fit himself effectively into any
7Crt of s;tua ion or cOnd ticn that
may arise in his community. His
work runs to the demands extremes
Many the time | have gone from
wedding. place of extreme
happiness. to a funera', a place OF
extreme gloom From a happy so
cial gathering to the bed side Of
one seriously i'll.
The minister must rejoice with
those who rejoice and sorrow with
hose who sorrow. and do if all
sincerely, genuinely
He is sought for guidance, for
council, for comfort, in the most
intimate and delicate experiences
of his people.
Not only that-he is expected to
support and be a part of every
civic and public movement in the
community and participate in all
sorts of things that are totally out
side his real program.
HE ISN'T HUMAN. What chance
has he TO be? We expect and de-
mand of the minister what we lack
in ourselves. There is a doctrine
to the effect that Jesus gave him
self as ransom for many-that he
took on himself the sins of all +be
peop e. The general public some
now expects something like that
today of the minister 1t expects
him to be good for all of us. To
pray for all of us. To make up in
himself what others refuse to make
fuslng to accept such themselves.
AT the same time they criticise
him because he isn't human. But
if he begins to act human-he isn't
religious-isn't sincere. He is not
a good example.
Now if here is any criticism of
the ministry for it's being unhu-
man the blame can be laid on the
people who demand such silly and
unfair standards for him while re-
fusing to accept themselves.
THE CHURCH is ALWAYS
SOLICITING MEMBERS
The minister and the church is
making constant bid for people to
identify themselves with the in
stitution. Sometimes this bid does
almost run into compulsion and is
over done. But no people, no
church. No members, no institu-
ton.
The church is maintained year
in and year out, by a group of peo-
pie who believe in its value and
worth to the life of the community
