One Man Looks
At God
tBy Charles w. Carlson, Pastor,
St. Marks Evangelical Lutheran
Church. Oakland MarylandD

Too many people have mistaken
ideas about God. No man can make
the statement that he knows God
completely. for none Of us knows
Him and understands Him that
we'll Therefore. we must rely on
what He chooses to reveal TO us
about Himself. The most. complete
revelation of God was in the Per-
son of Christ Jesus, and yet few
who knew Him when He walked
the roads of this life understood
Who He was. Even His disciples
did not completely understand His
actions. Time after time. He had
to rebuke them. correct them, and
straighten them out on the things
that He said and did For instance,
when the mothers of some small
children came to see their Lord,
with the hope that He might lay
His hand in blessing on them and
their children, the disciples were
willing to send them away because
they felt that their Master would
not want to be troubled with some
unimportant, insignificant. an d
bothersome women and children.
How wrong they were! For each
and every child is important to
God, and as Christ told them, "un-
less you become as one of these,
you shall not enter the kingdom of
God, for to such belongs the king
dom of God
This was strange statement for
the disciples, for they were grown
men. TO be told that they would
have to become like children be-
fore they could inherit the King
dom was strange indeed. And yet
Christ most surely meant what He
said, and this is stoll stumbling
block in the way of so many people
who have not yet found the king
dom. They will not accept it as a
child.
Two many people are willing to
accept God only on their terms.
They want to put God in a box and
put label on it which says This
is God" They want to place them
selves on the same level with God,
and they cannot, because they are
not equal to God.
The faith of a child in the adults
around him is profound They ac-
cept with very little question the
decisions Of their parents. and the
first time they find out that per-
haps their parents have been lying
to them IS d tremendously shaking
experience Because they have IL
lieved in them
This is what we must do in our
relationship to cur God. We must
accept, without question, the plan
that God has for this world, for
our lives, and for mankind, if we
are ever to find His Kingdom. We
can never earn entrance into it.
any more than any of our children
can earn their way into our hearts
We love them in spite of their mis-
takes, merely because they are
ours. All our heavenly Father
wants is our commitment TO Him.
the acceptance of the fact that we
are not of ourselves sufficient, that
He is our Father, and that His way
is, after all, the best

One type of wife for whom 1
have the deepest sympathy,
among several types for whom
I have this feeling. is the one
who is married to the guy who
never wants to go home from a
social event.
Usually, he is the one who
didn't want to go in the first
place, put on an act when the
couple got the invitation and
vowed that some day he would
declare his independence OF all
the stupid people who insist on
dragging him from his COM
Portable home to spend an eve
ming in their uncomfortable
home, drinking their cheap
liquor and listening to their
stupid chatter.
Such an evening usually starts
out for the wife something like
this.
The husband comes home
from his Office and says he's
completely popped, and then a
cloud passes over his face and
he says, in a sepulchral voice as
though he'd just heard the death
sentence passed on him, that
he'd just die If he had to go out
Of the house that evening.
Suddenly Remembers
Then he pretends to suddenly
remember the invitation and coll
lapseS in a chair. There are tears
in his eyes. After a silent dinner
he consents to get dressed. but

Heart PoIpitotion Is Meaningless
By DR.. PETER J. sTElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Lately
I have been sitting on top of a
volcano. My heart has been
skipping and palpitating- might

gerate when say volcano
"A few years ago when I was
in Italy ] visited Mount Vesuvius.
Not content with just looking at
the crater from a distance, ]
walked with my guide over the
last few hundred yards of dead
lava. 1 stood there fascinated,
yet scared to death, yard from
the crater's rim-trying to look
deep down into the crater.
could hear it rumbling and SIM
mering like soup in a pot: and
the acrid smell of the gases it
gave of and the irritating smoke
burned my eyes.
But that 1t not what / re-

lit suddenly came over me: What
would ! do If this thing suddenly
Ierupted again like it did when it
destroyed Pompeii? Could
scamper away in time? And who
really knows when 1T will go of
again?
Fear and Anxiety
These were the thoughts that
motivated action: l got out of
there in a hurry because of a
sudden fear and anxiety.
That's why say having this
palpitation is just like sitting
there beside the huge mouth OF
Vesuvius. Every time get the
skips or palpitation I think:
This is my last beat coming UP. y
The only difference is that YOU
can run away from a volcano but
you can't from your heart.
MY doctor, an understanding
cuss, has been very thorough and
patient. He tells me that 1 am
physically fine. All examinations
have been negative: microscopic

and laboratory. Yet, I get aw-
fully scared each time l have

Explain to Patient
When any patient has come to
me with complaints Of skips OF

these frightened people some
thing like this:
Il am going to take a COM

Before you leave you shall know
the truth about your heart. Keep
remembering this. If tell you
that you have a healthy heart

right and you still continue to
worry, then there's nothing more
that I can do to help you"
