The Light That Shines

FURTHERMORE, when you read
L these Bible biographies, you can
trace a very interesting story
through them all: namely the story
of the human understanding of
Right and Wrong.
But in Old Testament times,
as in the case of Abraham, we
must remember they were in the
dawn-years before the sunlight
of Christ had risen. Some Of the
things Abraham did would get
him into Jail nowadays; but
some of those very acts were
then the mark Of q. gentleman.
Sometimes when you are discour-
aged and think the world is growing
worse, all you need to do Is to
think back to some Of these old
Bible stories. What the very best
people did then, is now by Chris
tians seen to be not always good.
The human race has progressed,
and nowhere more than in its knowl-
edge of what is right to do. And
even so, a man like Abraham. as
good and great as he was, shines
with an even brighter light across
the centuries, challenging us to rise
above our times as he often rose
above his own.

Ways of finishing facings differ
with the kind of material you have.
If your goods is cotton or some other
lightweight fabric, turn under the
edge of the seam allowance on the
facing about one-sixteenth inch,
then, stitch. If your goods is thick
or non-washable, finish facing by
trimming off the seam allowance
and stitching ribbon seam binding
fat along the edge. Or machine

Saints

ONE of the great biographies Of
~ the Bible is that of Abraham.
If you will read it in Genesis you
will see it is not like one of our mod
ern biographies; it does not follow
a continuous line, but consists of
short incidents strung together
sometimes without connection.
1t is more like an album of
pictures than like movie. Yet
putting all the pictures together
we get an impression of a re-
markable man.
Indeed, Abraham was one of the
most remarkable men who ever
lived. Without a church, without a
Bible, without prophet or priest or
tradition, born in a nation and
family that "Worshiped other gods"
as Joshua said later, somehow Abra-
ham came to know that there is but
one God, and not only to know that
as a fact but to know that God as
friend. In fact, Abraham's name
among the Arabs to this day is ''The
Friend.") We must call Abraham
one of the great religious geniuses
of all human history.
Yet he does not stand alone. The
Bible is book of saints; the letter
to the Hebrews calls the roll of
some, and ends by saying time is
too short to name them all.
Now a saint is not a person
who lives totally without sin. A
saint is one in whose life good
ness is stronger than evil;
saint is one who actually lives
as a friend of God, for whom
God is the central fact in all
bis life.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1948-10-09
Sinners

Sinners
THESE are no whitewashed plas-
l. ter saints, the great and small
figures of the Bible stories. They
come before US just as they were.
Abraham, for example, at times
was a coward, liar, a bigamist, a
Shareholder.
We must not suppose that ev-
erything any character in the
Bible did was right, or is right
today. The writer's simply tell
the stories, seldom using ad-
jsctives like dad" or good"
" mobile" or mean" We are
iest to make our own judgments.
We are shown what effects sin has
on men, we see how evil spreads by
suggestion and imitation, we see
how temptation works. God inspired
the biographers; but he does not
inspire men TO tell lies or to cover
up evil by calling it good. So do
not be shocked to find that even
saint like Abraham had feet of clay.
The important things about him are
the good, not the bad.

October Is Red
Feather Month
BY Henry Ford III
Chairman, Community Chests Of
America

Beginning in October, Red Fea-
Their campaigns will be conducted by
Community Chests in almost a thou
sand cities and towns to raise an
estimated $1S400O.000 to finance
services essential to the welfare of
all the residents of all those COM
munities.
During the campaign period, a
million volunteers will call ON their
neighbors, their fellow workers, their
business associates and ask them to
provide the funds necessary to keep
all the Red Feather Services OF
their home communities in operation
for a whole year, plus enough for
support of the new USO.
The Red Feather is the symbol
of many champaigns in one. Nation
ally, it represents $4,000 voluntary
services. Locally, Community Chests
may include anywhere from half a
dozen separate organizations in small
communities, to hundreds in the
largest. No national fund is raised.
Each community sets It's own goal.
raises and spends its own money,
and gives residents of its community
an accounting of its stewardship.
The significant fact is that, in
every case, each Of these organiza-
tions would have to conduce a sep
arate campaign for funds were it
not for once-a-year uGitel effort I'M
der the banner of the Red Feather.
BY combining the Embarrassing ap-
peals of many Red Feather Services
into one big campaign each year.
the Red Feather conserves time
effort and expense entailed by sega
rate. competitive appeals; protests;
the contributor from unrelated ap-
peals and guarantees effective use
of funds through annual review of
the budget of each Red Feather Ser
vice.
The continuing theme Of Chest
campaigns - Everybody Benefits,
Everybody Gives - points out this
truth: Red Feather Services are
not charity or aims to the under
privileged" but are bread communi-
ty services to be used and enjoyed by
everybody. Relief of actual destitu-
ton is now carried chiefly by pub
lie agencies, supported by tax
funds. The voluntary health and well
fare services have an equally great
responsibility - to make life fuller,
happier, more worth living. Their
wmork is positive and preventive.
They help provide nursing and medi-
cal care, offer services of child
care. family counseling, revocation
informal education, youth leader
ship. special services to aged and
handicapped people. Studies show
that users of Red Feather Services
are of all ages, races, religious
faith. and economic statuses.
Thus, the Red Feather has become
a familiar symbol to millions of vol
unteer workers, givers and bene-
ficiaries from coast to cost. 1t has
become the banner around which all
classes. races and religions can
rally to provide in their own COM
munity the necessary services from
which all mutually benefit. The 10y
altv of a million volunteer workers
and the generously of twenty mil
lion volunteer givers testify to the
fact that the Community Chest is
deeply rooted in present-day Ameri-
can society.
