FOLKS ARE LIKE BOATS
"Stand i'm any harbOr, study

For a gOOdly number of years |
lived in a thriving Wisconsin city
that nests comfortably and attrac-
lively along the shore of Lake
WinnebagO, one of the largest in
land bodies of water in the United
States. Many time | have stood
there on a sunny summer after
noon watching different kinds of
watercraft moving about in the
water forming themselves int o
beautiful spots and patterns of
color against the deep blue of the
lake. 1t is a sight not easily for
gotten. As my memory travel S
back to it at this moment, l recall
that three distinctly different types
OF boats were represented there
namely, the rOwbOat, the sailbOat
and the pOWer-boat And, preacher

es today. Who are they? Well,
come along with me and see.
The ROWBOAT TYPE. Does that
mean that these are the people
who lay hold of the oars and pull?
All, no! Rather, these are the folks
who sit idly in the back of the
boat and let someone else do the
work necessary to make that craft
go forward on its course. Here,
recall a cartoon that appeared in
magazine some wears ago 1t
showed rOwbOat with two sets of
oars. One set was being painfully
labored over by a frail-looking,
little man; the other oars were
idle. But in the rear of the boat
sat the mans wife 50 big and fat
excuse the vulgarism- h e
stern of the boat rose only slightly
above the level of the water. She
evidently was disgruntled by the
slow progress they were making
for. looking back, the husband was
indicated as saying, IF you don't
like the way we are going, why
don't YOU take this other set of
oars and help pull?"
And there are many times in
any church where the faithful row
ers would like to say to their
critics. Instead Of finding fault,
why don't you help pull?" Gods
work would go forward much fast
er if you would do your share
And here comes the impertinent

TROOP NO. 3:3

The troop had a lot of duties for
the four months of 1861 During
September and October, we had a
float in the Halloween Parade.
The theme was "The Old Lady
Who Lived in a Shoe" Although
the float won no money. we en-
joyed doing the work.
In November, each Brow e
made up her own idea for a
Thanksgiving Center piece. Each
theme was voted on, and a vote
was made with 10 Ann Poore be-
ing the winner. The girls all did a
very good job with her project.
During December everyone turns
to Christmas We made San a
Clauses of pine cones On the
twenty-second the troop made a
visit to Messick's Nursing Home in
Harrington. with two baskets of
fruit and the Santa Clauses. One
basket of fruit was for the home
and one for our shut-in, Mrs. En-
ma j. Bailey, who since has passed
away. AS each Santa was taken to
the patient, we sang carols
We thank our mothers for the
ears that made the trip a big sue
cess for us.
Now that 1861 has come to
close, we must start to work on

The SAILBOAT TYPE. Margot
Asquith, a British woman who
wields a trenchant pen, writes of
an interview she had with a pro-
fesSiOnal tramp. In this interview
she inquired of him how each day
he determined the direction he
would take He voiced this illumi-
mating reply. 81 always turn my
back to the wind And that" OBJ
serves Mrs. Asquith, lis what made
him a tramp"
SailbOatS are very much like
that; they go best with the wind.
If the wind blows toward the east,
that is their direction. If it blows
toward the west, they go that way.
While it is possible for them, by,
expert handling of the sails, to
beat against the wind" they do
not prefer to do it. 1t is much,
blows.
People often are much like that
even people of the Christian
church. They have few deep re-
ligiOus convictions This makes it
easy for them to shift from one
congregation and one denomina-
ton to another, and if some rowing
evangelist comes to tow to take a
community on an emotional spree,
they are sure to be found at the
meetings. But in a little while a
new religious wind takes them to
still other directions. On h e
church tower of my boyhood years
was a weather vane of consider
able size. 1t turned each day as the
wind blew. Too bad that we have
people in our churches who are
very much like that

that "the church is full of willing

hope the willing workers abound
there. They are the good people
who are not halted by criticism or
opposition. Like the pOwer-boats
drive against wind and wave and
tide, they go resOlutely forward to
attain the goals the church has
set for them They have power
within themselves. a faith in God
and a love for their church that
will not let them accept anything
short of what they set out to do.

Cain" is very popular way today.
