derful as if my car would repair
itself of burnt-out bearing or
broken axle by having me pour in
to it the needed oil and gasoline.
Yet that is just what nature does
under the scaE-it rebuilds the
damaged part. Therefore the scab
teaches me about God, Who is the
great Builder of our bodies, and
recalls to my mind the Psalmist's
words, "I will praise Thee, for /
am fearfully and wonderfully
made"
And now, a step farther. As a
boy / had the distressing habit of
delaying the healing of little
wounds by pulling off the scab.
And some people | know have the
same habit in their fellowship with
others. They love to reopen old
sores-pull scabs from old wounds.
When another has weak spot in
his record, a past sin, how they
delight to uncover it and agitate a
wound that would heal if lett alone.
To these I would say:
If you see a tall fellow ahead of
the crowd,
A leader of men, marching fear
less and proud,
And you know of tale whose
mere telling aloud
Would cause his proud head in
anguish to be bowed,
IT'S A PRETTY GOOD PLAN
TO FORGET 1T.
If you know of a skeleton hidden
away
In a closet, and guarded and kept
from the day
In the dark, whose showing, sud
den display
Would cause grief and sorrow and
lifelong disAnasy,
IT'S A PRETTY GOOD PLAN
TO FORGET 1T.
If you know OF a thing that will
darken the joy
OF man or a woman, a girl or a
boy,
That will wipe out smile, or the
least way annoy
A fellow, or cause gladness to
cloy,
IT'S A PRETTY GOOD PLAN
TO FORGET 1T.
If you know of thing, just the
least little sin,
Whose telling would cork up a
laugh or a grin
OF a man you don't like-Oh, do
keep it in.
Don't, don't be knocker; right
here stick a pin
IT'S A PRETTY GOOD PLAN
TO FORGET 1T.
In other words-don't pull the
scab from other peoples sores.

A SCAB SERMON
Don't pull the scab from other
peoples cores"

Don't pull the scab from other
peoples cores"
"A Scab Sermon" well, of all
things, has it come to that2 Are
we to have ministerial boycotts,
and are sermons coming from the
lips of those not affiliated with some
highly organized group to bear
the stigma of being called "scab
sermon" Have preachers organ
lied their own labor unions?
We readily see reasons for your
being alarmed, for if it ever should
come to pass that the clergy would
insist upon an eight-hour day,
many a congregation would need
to employ an assistant pastor or
find that he who serves them now
would need to leave an appreciable
portion of each weeks work un-
done. He could not possibly crowd
it all into the narrow compass of
the number of working hours men
toned above BSt lay aside your
fears, the scab' sermon we have
in mind is aot sermon by a
s'scab', but little I1omily about
a scab.
Several years ago I was privil-
eyed to preach the baccalaureate
sermon for the graduating nurses
of a community hospital. In this
sermon, to illustrate point I de-
sired to make, told them of how
one day knuckIe on my hand
came into painful contact with a
rather rough stone. An abrasion
of the skin resulted and then ma
ture, in her ministry of mercy,
quickly covered the wound with
what we commonly called a scab.
This scabs made me think, first
about God and then about man.
Pause a moment here to observe
what takes place when scab is
formed. 1t may be only a minor
abrasion of the skin, like mine, but
nature quickly takes cogaizance of
it and goes to work. First OF all,
it builds a sheltering roof over
the wound-the scab-and then un-
der this roof the process of re-
construction begins Orders are
flashed by the brain to the blood
vessels and they go to the organs
of digestion and carefully select
from the food that has been eaten
the cells and tissues needed. These
are carried to the wound and de-
posted there, and thus, according
to the injury, new bone, flesh and
skin are built. With food as the
raw material and with the organs
of the body as tools the work goes
on When full repairs have been
made, the sheltering roof comes
down-the scab falls off-and all
is good as new again.
How wonderful! Just as Won
