loved His sheep. He knew the
needs of His sheep. He cared
for His sheep. He watched
over His sheep, and He sup
piled all of the needs of fHs

from God. He knew what it

is why he could use the pos.

so close to the Lord that the
Lord felt like his very own.

his needs. These included his

MEMORY SELECTION: Be
still, and know that / am God
-(Psalm 46:10.) There is pow
er in silence. Being still is a
hard lesson to learn. Often
people h i n d r the Lord
through their struggling and
failure to surrender fully. God
can be recognized the best
when people become still be-
fore Him in worship and by
simply waiting on the Lord.
The great secret of success
in the Christian life is not what
we do for the Lord, but that
which we allow the Lord to do
for us. When we become still
before God, it is then that He
can speak to us and we will
best hear His voice.

PRACTICAL p POINTS ON
THE LESSON.

THE LESSON:
In the midst of the strife
confusion, fear and unrest
that we find in our country
and throughout the whole
world, men need to be made
conscious of the presence of
God. God is in the world. not
out OF it. He is near. He is
near to all who call upon Him
and earnestly seek Him. He is
always available when we
need Him. He is good. lust
and forgiving. He is
adequate to meet all of the
problems which man faces to-
day. Faith is essential in
every realm whether in busi-
ness or banking, in schedules
of travel. In no realm is this
more true than in the realm
of religion. Faith pleases God
and grieves the Devil. On the
other hand doubt grieveS God
and pleases the Devil. Faith is
an all-time condition on which
the promises of God are real
lied. In other words, it might
be expressed that faith is
heavens currency and Christ
assured us that according to
our faith it would be unto us.
The Word of God that has for
ever been settled in heaven is
our highest authority on which
to base our faith. Faith in
God brings peace of heart.
Since the Word of God cannot
fail, neither can the believer
in the Word of God fail.

GOD-THE PROTECTOR OF
THE HOLY CITY:

Here the Psalmist pictured
God as the protector and de-
fender of the Holy City. There
was no need for those who
dwelt in the city to fear. for
COO dwelt in the city. He
lived there, and whenever
there was a threat of danger.
whether in the evening or in
the early hours of the morn
ing, God would rise up against
it, and overcome the enemies.
NO power could overthrow
God, therefore, the city would
stand, it would not be moved
Ihls power of God was not
only contained within the citv
and its immediate vicinity but
was universal. This meant
God was Master over all peo-
pie and nations. God is present
IN the world today. This is
his world and He is in it. But
man is too busy to know God
is here. He will not be still
long enough to see God. He
Will not keep his mouth closed
long enough to hear God. and
ne will not humble himself
enough to walk with God. Tn
spite of the indifference of
man toward God there are
those in the world today who.
IKE the Psalnist, know that
God is a good God, that God
is a gracious God, that God
Will protect His own from evil
and that in Him they can find

year they came within one vote
Of adding their proposal to the
Genei al Appropriations Bill
and feel certain they can and
wi l ho-d that voting strength
and have a years work behind
them with which they have
tried to add to it.
Another fact they point to
is the states economic picture
viii h apparently will be bet
ter than ever with a now famil-
lar monthly increase in reven-
ues bolstered by a s23 million
TEXT e pay hike from which
lai &c increases ca nbe expect
ed N the areas of sales and
income tax.
And then there Is the fact
that 1864 is an electionyear
with half the Sena.- and all of
the House Seats up for grabs.
These municipal leaders point
out that even though there are
many counties where the pop
uiatinn living outside the mum
icp lities is larger than that
I residing in them. there are
only a few in which the major
ity of voters live outside the
cities.
In a voting year people who
need votes must cater to the
areas and groups having those
votes. For years it has been a
foregone conclusion that school
teachers and state employees
will get pay increase in an
election year. This time. how
ever, it looks as though they
may have to share this ideal
situation with us city folks.
After all there are a lot more
city dwellers than there are
school teachers and state en-
ployeeS combined.
Probably the biggest asset
municipal leaders have today
though is their legislative Or
ganizaton set-up. For years So
Ions have used the argument
they had on interest back home
from local municipals officials
in receiving additional assis-
tance. This year the Associat-
ion has set up a Regional or
ganization. dividing the 46
counties into Is Regional with
a Chairman for each. In addi-
ton there is county chairman
in charge of every city and
town in his county and there
has already been a noticeable
increase in interest with a cor
responding increase in remind
ers to legislators that ii has
been many years since any
financial help has been given
to municipalities.
This shapes up as one of the
bigger battles of the "64" ses-
sion and will be an interest
ing one to watch.
