One Man Looks
At God
(By Charles w. Carlson, Pastor,
st. Marks Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Oakland Maryland.)

AS we continue our current
series on Christian Proverbs" we
will consider this week the words
of our Lord. recorded in Matthew
II Ask, and il will be given you;
seek, and you will find knock
and it will be opened unto you"
One of the great problems of
the Christian church is the tre-
mendOus rate of spiritual illiteracy
that is prevalent among her men,
bers Many people are stumped at
the most simple questions about
their faith many have not the
slightest understanding about the
real meaning of salvation in Jesus
Christ. Some of the fault lies, we
are sure, with the inept work of
some Christian pastors, who seem
not able to eXpound the meaning
of the word of God with enough
clarity. This, however, is not the
main reason for this problem. The
main reason is the simple fact,
though simple it is certainly hor-
rible, that people are too indiffer-
ent about their faith to really care
what they believe. The vast ma
jority of the people in churches

do not even make the effort to
participate in the Sunday program
of education that their church has
let alone any special week day
programs they may have. This fact
is clearly born out by the recent
statistics of church membership
and Sunday Church School enroll
ment. In 1856 over one hundred
million people belonged to
churches, yet only thirty-eight
million were active in Sunday
church schools. In some places the
statistics are even worse.
One of the horrible side issues
of this situation is the fact that
many who are interested enough
to seek and ask seem intent upon
seeking in the wrong direction,
and with the wrong viewpoint in
mind. They start with their own
( limited reason, ana not WIN an
open mind to Gods revelation.
These are the self-styled intellec-
tuals who think that the basic
Christian doctrines. lie. Divinity
of Christ, Virgin Birth, Trinitarian
God, ct al, are beneath their sense
of reason. How miserably made
quate these attitudes are when a
man realizes that it was God who
built this world in the first place

in the first place, and that the
first place he should start in find
ing his peace as a creature of God

vealed about Himself

PIKESVILLE. Md, Feb. II up.
State police plan to more than
double their force of electronic
cops.
Five more radar machines to
trap speeders have been ordered
by the department. They will
bring the total to nine. The

means to cut down speed"
The nine machines can't pos

Col. MunShower said a team
seldom stays in one spot more
than few hours.
Last year 8.096 motorists were
caught speeding by radar. This
was an increase of about 1000
over 1855.
