developed a system Of ethical
codes and methods of control.
He added that he felt if teach
ers are convinced that they are
working in an area requiring
specialized knowledge and skills
that they, the teachers, will in
sist upon more appropriate selec-

Teaching will deserve to be

can demonstrate effectively to
their pupils. their colleagues. par

other interested persons why they
are teaching, and to what degree
their teaching has been success

Rev. Reppert's Sermon Sunday
morning was the reasons Martin
Luther left the Roman Catholic
Church and formed our Protestant
Churches. One of the reasons was
that the Pope led people to be-
lieve that all they had to do was
pay indulgence money to the Pri-
est and they were forgiven Of their
sins. Martin Luther knew, as we
know today from the word of God,
that each and everyone of us can
be forgiven of our sins if we re-
pent, confess, and pray directly to
God. Jesus in his own words says
i'm Matthew II, V. 2S, Come unto
me all ye that Labour and are
heavy Laden and / Will give you
rest. Rev. Reppert pointed out
that John Wesley also brought us
back to a personal religion and
this is what Methodists believe to-
day. This is our Heritage of Free
DOM.

LET'S TALK ABOUT GUEST
TOWELS
"In the things that you do as with things
fhof you bake.
Too much frosfins sometimes spoiIs q
good COKE"

| recall rather vividly the occa-
sion when | had consented to
speak at a special service in a
little community of the State of
New York. | fail to remember the
nature of the anniversary that was
being observed, but that matters
little as it has no bearing on what
I wish to say to you today. What
l do remember is the puzzling di-
lena that confronted me some
hours before the scheduled time
of my address.
l had slept we'll and in the. NOR
ming, after finishing washing my
face, | looked for a towel to dry
it. Five or six dainty ones hung
before me in row Of Immaculate
whiteness. After several moments
of deliberation | selected one that
seemed the least forbidding, but
it was distressing experience.
Have you ever wrestled with an
over ornamental guest towel? You
Try to dry an ear with an embroid
cred rose; your eye is nearly
blinded by the protruding end of a
raised-work initial; your chin gets
lost in the intricacieS of deep, filmy
lace; your nose gets painfully en-
tangled in the many fine threads
of drawn work. What a distress
ing experienced Towels like these
may be beautiful and they lend
themselves well to a display of
milady's skill with crochet hook
and needle, but made palmer and
less ornate, they would better
serve the purpose for which tow
els are intended.
Preacher that | am, | think of
the elaborate service of the NOR
ming in which | am to have a part
and of other services equally elab-
crate that | have shared. A pro-
gram of great diversity is arrang
ed An orchestra selected, a choir
professional, a soprano solo. an
instrumental Offertory, an anthem
by the choir, pOstlude by the
organ follow one another in i'm
pressive progression. Now | en-
joy these things; l frequently
have had them in my home church;
I believe they have a legitimate
place if offered in the spirit of
worship. There is real danger,
however, that with so much orna-
