This distribution to the munich

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
BY Hazel Bronnon Smith

II was our privilege to hear
Or. A. w. Dick, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church.
Memphis, address a group of
seniors recently.
DR.. Dick spoke to members of
the Durant High School class
OF 1852 in their baccalaureate
service held Sunday evening at
the school auditorium. His
sermon was one of the finest
I've ever heard on similar oc-
casions - and it was inspiring
to others who heard him, as
well as the graduates. He pre-
sented a challenge to all.
We should try to live so that
when we pass on our friends
can truthfully say our lives
were worth living, the noted
pastor said.
Our lives are like a vapor
and may be changed any sec
ond, he continued, or taken
from us.
Again, the speaker likened
life to a stage on which we
play our several parts for
which there is no rehearsal -
nor can they be played over.
1t is important to play each
part as we 60 along very well
in order to avoid later heart
aches. disappointments and no
regrets.
We are blessed with gifts
that money can't buy - our
sight, hearing, our capacity for
faith in people and their faith
in us. our capacity for love.
DR.. Dick advised the young
people like God told Timothy:
Neglect not the gift that is
in you"
Neglect spells doom to any,
thing, he said. If we bind our
arm up tightly for several
months it will become athro-
phied from lack of use and
will indeed be useless. In the
same way we must continue to
use our minds daily as we 60
through life in order to make
the most of our other God |
given gifts.
II is not enough to continue
to use our minds as we 60 |
through life but we must not
neglect the inside-the inner
spiritual self--that makes life
complete.
Deep down in every life
there are latent gifts and pos
sibilities waiting to be stirred
into flames of useful service,
DR.. Dick believes. We should
each study ourselves to be ap-
proved, workmen that need
not to be ashamed of our work.
But it is not enough to be-
gin, he warned il takes
perseverance to go through
to the finish. Consider the
philosophy of the postage
stamp consider it and be
wise - its only usefulness con-
sisa of its ability to stick I'M
til it gets there.
For the things most worth
while in life we must each
pay price and our success
depends largely on whether
we are willing to stick to our
tasks despite the odds.
Have you ever considered
what Gods plan for life is?"
This was the question asked
by DR.. Dick.
1t is up to each of us to
carry out the plan that God
has for our lives - only we
can do it - and we cannot
be what God wants us to be
until we find ourselves in Je-
sus Christ and earn that deep
abiding faith which means the
aS..al4 =.
