Opportunity Moments
By Harry Troupe Brewer

BY Harry Troupe Brewer
The moments are yours
To use as you will;
VIII you make them lifts
With courage and skill?
Or sit by the way
With nothing to do,
Expecting that others
Will labor for you?
If you do YOU have failed
In the privilege that's yours,
For labor by others
Won't add 10 your scores.

Micah 4:3
Peace on earth! Why that is
hardly more than phr - which
we recall at Christmastirhe as we
think of the song of the angels. Yet
now is the time to assure people that
there will be peace on earth.
Peacemakers who are now silent

made peace, following will-o'-the-
wisp. Let US tell men about the real
peace which will come when the
Prince of Peace sets up His king
dom. Let us urge upon them the
glad acceptance Of His personal
kingship in their hearts that they
may even now know peace within.
Micah warned Judah that their re-
lection Of God and His love would
bring them sorrow and judgment.
In the midst of his message, how
ever, he breaks forth into a glowing
prophecy Of the glory that is to come
during the reign Of the Messiah, the
Prince of Peace.
I. The Foundation Of Peace
Gods Word a: /, p.
Vainly do men labor to bring about
q lasting peace built upon the words
Of men, for the moment there seems
to be gain in repudiating promises
given in the greatest Of solemnity,
they become mere scraps Of paper.
There is no security in such words,
nor in the guns and battleships used
to support or to break them.
Gods Word, the teaching Of His
law, walking in His paths-here is
the foundation for real peace. Micah
speaks of the time in the last days"
when the people Of the earth shall
60 up to Gods house to hear His
Word and to learn to walk in His
ways. To that blessed and holy day
we look forward with anticipation
and joy even as we now bring men
the message of Christ's redemption
and His peace.
III. The Prince of Peace-Jesus
Christ (4:3-5).
This beautiful portion Of Gods
Word (and such parallel passages as
lisa. 2:1-5; 11:1-12) gathers together
the longing and hopes Of peace
loving men Of every age. Perfect
Justice, the end of all wars, pros
perity for peaceful pursuits, boys no
longer learning warfare, complete
social security, universal worship of
God-what thrilling promise!
Will it ever come true? Yes.
When? In the latter days" ". l,
R. W.. Who has made such prom
Use? God Himself. Who will bring
it about? Gods Son, the Prince of
Peace. who will come to Judge be-
tween many people"
Why will men be so blind to the
"sure word Of prophecy; whereunto
We do we'll that We take heed, as unto
a light that shineth in dark place"
UI Pet. 1:19)? Why will we reject
Him who is "the day star" III Pet.
1919: Rev. 22:l6) and who is even
now ready to "arise in your
hearts?
iii. His Coming-As Saviour 6:

ecy gave more than 700 years be-

BY S S. HUFHAM
(Star CORRESPONDENT

DELCO, Oct. 27-In our ramb-
lings we have seen some very in
teresting things, among which are
people trying to do things they are
not interested in and how unwill-
ingly they bow under the weight of
their tasks.
In the. Bolton section of Colum-
bus county there is a man who is
especially talented in carpentry.
About two years ago he found that
he was not bringing in sufficient
funds to meet his immediate de-
mands, if he lived at home; and
being a home lover, and a man of
family, he turned to farming.
The yoke was too heavy; he inn
mediately +1aopped' in the farm
ing business, and he was so hun
cry for his old trade that when he
picked up his saw and square again
his zeal carried him to greater
heights in carpentry than he had
ever expected to. reach.
Tn the Fair Bluff section we met
a man who was in; such declining
health that he had taken to his bed,
