This Rock
Of Ours
By Bill Glib

. Some people might tap their
heads significantly and point in
my direction for making the fol-
lowing statement -
The Bible seems to have a liv-
ing intelligence Of its own; sort Of
like a master calculating machine
where certain questions can be
fed in and correct answers will be
forthcoming.
For instance, the other day,
three of us were discussing vari-
Gus problems Not being able to
arrive at any immediate solution,
we decided that a little concen-
trated prayer might not be out Of
the way.
|. Now, none of us are what you
would call religious PERSONAL.
ties" As a matter Of fact, it is
very unlikely that we will ever get
within shouting distance Of st.
Peter and the Golden Gate. But
we had all definitely experienced
the differences between trying to
run the show ourselves and letting
a Greater Power guide the way.
To make q long story short, /
sat down the night after our dis
cussion at the time that knew
the others would be doing like
wise. My mind was still half oc-
cupied with some advertising work
so picked up the Bible for a
couple Of minutes relaxation be.
fore turning to the prayer problem.
Here are the first words that
struck my eyes: >.;....@
"Again say unto you, that il two
of you shall agree on earth as
touching anything that they shall
ask, 1t shall be done for them of
my Father which is in heaven.
"For where two or three are
gathered together in my name,
there am ! In the midst Of them. "
(Matthew 1S:1s-20)
colnsldsnee7
The agnostic might perhaps say
that such reading was purely CO.
incidence. I've had too much ex-
perience with it in the past to be-
lieve such q statement, however.
Time and again, I've sat down
to read the Bible and opened it
hap-hazardly. You can believe it
or not, but q large portion Of the
time, the Bible acted just as If it
were a human mind-reader - the
page that / opened so carelessly,
invariably had the answer to an
immediate problem.

HARD FIGHT LOOMS FOR US TO SAVE

for the jabberng when game is the ballots are

Bashfulness prevents p peop e
from openly discussing their ex-
perience with spiritual affairs. In
a way, that's understandable. How
ever, I'd feel like an ungrateful
scoundrel If I didn't give credit
where credit belonged for a few
decent things in my life - to the
Bible and q forgiving God.
Outside Of God, guess there are
only q couple Of other things which
I feel deeply: ~, that Democracy
as we know it, often gets itself
into a fouled-up mess but that there
is no better form of government
on earth today; (2), that the most
despicable creature on the face Of
the earth today is a liar.
Concerning Lyins
Hating q liar the way do makes
the situation rough for me be.
cause, to be perfectly truthful,
once in awhile I'll tell some of the
goSh-darnedess bald-faced lies you
ever heard. It's amazing how cas-.
lily they slip out!
OF course, I'm not talking about
the fibs which make life a little
more pleasant for everyone. Such
as saying, GOOD Morning" when
all the time, you know in your
heart that there has never been a
more miserable, lousy day. The
liar that hate is the one who has
such a mean little soul that he
twists the truth for no other rea
son than to destroy.

Are We Growing As Christians?
! Cor. 3:l.3, Eph. 4:li-l6
u Peter 1:5-S, 3:1s
By RALPH ROGERS

0v NA6TI NV No
Paul asks a very pertinent ques.
ton in today's lesson. Are we
growing as Christians? He tells
the Corinthians that so long as
there is jealousy and strife among
them, they walk like worldly,
carnal men, not as followers Of
Christ.
Conflict OF Differences
The church at Corinth had reach
ed critical stage. II started over
differences of opinions, likes and
dislikes. One group claimed to be
followers of Apollos while the other
claimed Paul was the more spirit
ual. There was diScord, angry
words, strife, enemity. They were
acting like children. A certain
bishop was faced with a division
in the church and he told them to
quit acting like schoolboys. He
could have dropped the scale one
more notch and told them they
were acting like Children, babies.
When one notes the difference in
churches today, leading to strife,
discord and hate, 1t would seem
that we are still children. An ex-
ample Of that childishness is found
today when one church group
complains to the second church
group that they are friendly with
the third church group which the
first group just don't like. In 9th.
er words you're not friends of our
church if you grant favors and
fraternize with people of a Christ.
ian church which we don't like.
That's baby stuff. Better read
what Paul thinks about it. He
thinks they need a bottle of milk,
taken perhaps with a nipple. We
are not to follow Apollos or Paul
but Jesus Christ.
1t is natural to have differences
of opinion. If everybody thought
as we do, they'd be morons. Pro.
gress is the offshoot, the product
of these differences being analysed
and weighed to determine what is
best. The strife and jealousy al
Corinth seems to have stemmed
from individuals wanting to rur
things. They wanted to be Chair
