RADIANT LIVING
BY THEIR FRUITS
BY Rev. C. M. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. E. Church
Ridgely, Md.

Out of the pages of historic Meth
odism in North Carolina there comes
to us a story of those early times
when preachers whe travelled long
and weary circuits on horseback
were entertained at public inns free
of charge.
Late one day, it seems, there came
to this inn a preacher who was put
up for the night. AS he was leaving
the next morning, however, he was
presented by the proprietor with a
bill for his meals and lodging.
why, | thought preachers were
entertained free," he demonstrated.
Are you a preacher" the inn
keeper asked. surprised. when you
ate your meals here, | never noticed
you asking any blessing. You didn't
have prayer when you retired for the
light. And come to think OF il, you
have talked about everything else
since you have been here but re-
lIgion. How did know you are
preacher?"
Does not this story recall to mind
the statement made by Jesus: by
their fruits ye shall know them?'
When you see tree upon which
peaches are growing, do you have to
be told that it is a peach tree? In
the fall of the year, even a child
can pick out an apple tree.
And what is the fruitage of any
tree but the outward expression of
the inner nature of that tree. What
is the fruitage of our words, our
deeds, our habits, but the outward
expression of the nature that is
within us.
To live radiantly therefore. one
must have within him the radiant
nature of the living Christ.

T. B. AND THE TEENS By: Henri ietta Ripperger

 Perhaps the toughest assi gnment handed ! us today is to protect the health of our adolescent boys and girls. They are im-

 which they are not. They want to live
 the lives of playboys and glamour girls
 while also going to school or holding down jobs. Nature, sonnet ines an ally on whom one can count to do the ri ght thing ,l is no help here, simply egging them on
 to spend their energies. If they are to | be protected and brought into healthy
 maturity, we have got to do it.
 Che Of the greatest hazards bel en them and that healthy maturity, is tuberculosis Nc need to repeat here the melancholy factsi thet ngsters in their teens
 are most susceptible to the infection,
 and that girls are more likely to succl1nb to the disease than boys, and among them, the ones rho marry and have babies. very young.

Much of our work is still ahead, and it is difficult work because are not dealing any longer wi tn chi ld- ren who expect to mind their mothers", even if they resist, but with rebellious people who look growa-up but are not, and who cannot be handled by being told in black and white what not to do. You cannot meddle directly in the affairs of an adolescent. Instead, you must vi th- draw your hand from the circumference of his life and try to work on the conditi ond that surround him; to prevent his making contact with the disease, and to equip him to resi- st in Feet 1n Tuberculosis is catching, like rrmrs or any ether contag gious disease, so the l first step is to look for it in the circle in which your ,toungs ters live.
