Sunday, March 4

Nearly everyone has thirsted fol
something that will answer the
great needs of human experience
something that will put meaning
into life, that Will fill up the en-
ptiness Of an aching heart and give
lasting peace They are finding
that this thirst cannot be quench-
ed in whirl of activity, in pleas
ure. in popularity, in success
These are transient things.
Yet, this thirst can be satisfied
with the living water of which the
Bible speaks
JESUS SAID.
water (physicaD shall thirst again,
but whosoever drinketh of the
water that l shall give him shall
never thirst, but the water that |
shall give him shall be in him a
well of water springing up into
everlasting life" John Alb, IA.
Yes, It's Free and It's Yours.
Peace with Coda place in
Heayen-life everlasting joy that
does not fade when Iife's road
grow hard.
All These Are Yours! And They
May Be Yours NOW.

with incredible speed Then, before
! you could recover from the start
ling beauty of it all, everything
would begin moving away again
You would see only gigantic
silvery ball in the sky fast dimin-
/ ishing in size and soon looking a.
/ gain like a little star twinkling in
I triguingly in the far depths of in
/ finite space. If such could be your
! experience how much more it
would mean to you when in the
Greed of the church you affirm
your belief in the almighty Max
/ er of Heaven and earth.''
Perhaps, as you listened to the
I televisiOn tory of astronaut
! Glenn's venture into space, you
felt the vastness of the universe
he was exploring. | did This makes
1t OF interest to note some astound-
ing facts astronomers disclose to
us For example Clyde Fisher, cur
atOr of the American Museum of
Natural History, staggers us with
the magnitude of some of the
heavenly bodies. He states that tae
star Betelgeuse has a diameter of
210 million miles which is three
times the distance from our earth
to the sun. Yet Betelgeuse is
dwarfed by Alpha Hercules a star
so tantastlcally large that if it oc- G
cupied our suns position it would
engulf the earth and extend sout
beyond the orbit Of Mars. The star
q n
many million light years away.
Dr. Fisher also states that about
5000 stars are visible to the naked
eye, 100000 may be seen with a
good pair of field glasses while
the telescope of Mt Wilson has
counted more than fifteen hundred
million. Yet there is no crowding,
Tor space is so vast that to quote
another astronomer, three wasps
flying over Europe and Europe's
skies would be more crowded with
wasps than space is crowded with
stars"
Do not these facts stagger you
with the thought Of your own little
ness? Does not your heart cry out
with the Psalmist. When | con
slider thy heavens, the work of Thy
fingers, the moon and the stars
which Thou hast made. What is
man that Thou art mindful Of
him" Psalm 1854.
And so. when you read again of
rockets, capsules, missiles and 9TH
er ventures into outer space, think
not primarily Of the greatness of
the minds of men in this and 9TH
er fields of research, but think
rather of the greatness of God who
called the universe into being. Do
Ing this, you will find new under
standing and greater depths of
meaning in the words Of our Greed.
I believe in God the Father, al
mighty Maker Of heaven and
earth Think of all this the next
time you join others in repeating
these words

ASTRONAUTS. OTTER SPACE

Inc frInges OF the sunset and the

Each Sunday morning Christian
people in their respective places of
worship join in that historic CON
fessiOn of faith called the Apostles
Greed. All too glibly they recite
Its opening sentence, | believe in
God the Father, almighty Maker of
heaven and earth," seldom pausing
a single moment to weigh the i'm
mensity Of meaning that lies in
these words. 1t should not be so
for these words Maker of heaven
and earth" are worthy of some
sober thinking and especially so in
the light of our times and the ser
les OF events centering in AStro-
naut Glenn that engage world at
tention at this season.
The word season calls to mind
that the days of winter are nearly
over and that springtime is close
at hand. How are these things de-
termined, this orderly succession
OF the four seasons, which we call
a year? A year, namely, is simply
the length of time taken by our
earth to make a complete revolu-
ton around the sun and the sea-
sons are determined by the posi-
ton OF the earth at various stages
OF its journey through space. The
path if follows is called its orbit
and here it is interesting to note
that IN this orbit the earth travels
at the rate Of sixty-eight thousand

faster than the speed attained by
Colonel Glenn in his recent epoch
al venture into the mysteries of
outer space His achievement. wild
ely acclaimed, has led to all man
ner of speculation as to what the
next step in mans exploration Of
the universe will be Your guess
is as good as mine.
A most interesting conjecture
here is one advanced by German
scientist named Bettex. In a NOM
ent OF fancy he pictures an astro-
naut in a future Project Mercury
occupying an observation point
far off in space from which an
observer might watch the earth
speeding by. Suppose that lucky
one We're you. What a startling
spectacle would then unfold before
your eyes! At first you might find
1t difficult to distinguish the earth
from surrounding stars. Then NOV
ing toward YOU, you would see it
growing larger and larger until it
appeared as large as the moon. Not
long after it would cover half Of
the sky close enough for you to
identify the blue Of the ocean, the
green Of forests and fields. the
yellow of deserts and the white of
snow-clad hills, all flying by you

There are two uses of temptation
in the Bible, God uses it refine
His gold, James in chapter One
and verse two and three saws.
My brethren count it all joy when
ye fall into divers temptation:
knowing this, that the trying of
your faith worketh patience" Sa-

Periodic StOck-Taking

Periodic stock-taking enables an
owner or manager of store to do
two things: First, to unload by a
sale the items that have piled up
and the public does not seem to
want; and second, to discover
what goods are selling we'll and to
| order greater supply of them.
Lent performs the same func-
ton. 1t enables us to examine our
lives little more closely so that
we may try to eliminate that which
| weakens character and to concen-
trate on those things that make
for spiritual growth.
Beware lest the devil put h S
words into our mouths, But
haven't got the time" Nonsensel
We have all the time there is 16S
hours a week. We are stewards of
that time, and have to justify our
use of it. The man in the parable
who built the bigger barns thought
he did not have time until he heard
those words, Thou fool This
night thy soul shall be required of
thee" And for the first time he
was right; there was no time.
1t is up to each one. of us to
make up some sort of a lenten
rule. If we leave it to the chance
decision of the moment, we will be
at the mercy of our moods. ANY
rule we set should involve the
head, % increase our religious
knowledge by the reading of the
Bible and other religious books;
and the heart, through regular de-
votion on week days and Sundays,
and the hand, through some active
Christian Service and obligation
to Others,
Let us keep good Lent, not
measured by petty self-denials, but
by positive living; by new attitud-
es developed; by new habits form
ed by new power acquired.
