Portland / Observer Thursday April 29, 1971 R eli io n BREAD OF LIFE Tid Bits for Living How much do you care? Voters for 2 (1 4 4 2 » • y Rev. A. Purnell Bailey By REV. T.L.STRAYH AN D A father very concerned about • his son and fearful that his son had lost all interest in the church asked the m in iste r to speak to his son. The father pre sented his reasons fo r scarce attendance at church but he had so much to do and often on Sunday morning was the only time he could get out with his friends on the golf course be cause of the crowd wanting to play and 11 o’clock on Sunday was often tee time on the golf to go to church and keep up the interest. The m inister approached the boy self confidently and said to him, 'I should think you would want to keep your interest in the church if fo r no other reason than the fact that your father is interested in you and in the church. The boy asked the m inister, "D o you know how much my father gives to the church each year?" The m inister began to loose fo r a while and said, " I really do not know the exact amount but I know he is one of our most generous members. I would say he gives about five dollars a Sunday." Church and School for Community ST ANDREW'S CATHOLIC CHURCH The boy hurriedly added that figure and said to the m inister, "T h a t makes about $260.00 a year to the church. It costs him $600.00 a year to keep his mem- R e v .T . L . Strayhand bership in the country club. He gave $5,000.00 to help his friend get elected as mayor. You say my dad is interested. I would suggest you ask him to give at least $500.00 a year to the church, ask him to come to church with me and then you come back and talk with me after we find out how much he really c a re s ." BOd N E M U R TA RfV BCRTRAM GRIM IN It w ill do us gtxxl to remem- ber what A lbert Schweitzer said when he received the Nobel Peace Prize: “ But the essential fact w hich must now strike home to us (and it should have struck home long ago) is that in hum anity and the superman are indissolubly linked; the one progresses in step w ith the other.” W h y is the superman so dan gerous to hum anity? Because we are deluded into surrender ing to him our liberties in the name o f progress and security. Remember the diplom at who was shocked at fin d in g Presi dent Lincoln shining his own shoes? “ D o you polish your own shoes? said the astonished man. Yes, L in c o ln a n s w e re d . "W hose shoes do you polish?" W hen a man fails to nut God at the center o f his life, he turns to the superman. T h e destiny o f man is to g lo rify God and serve his fellowm an. A ll else is fu tility of direction. T h e Mas ter said: I f any man desire to be first, the same shall he last o f all and servant o f a ll.” T he one to hold high is the servant, not the superman. 1*0*11 ANO.
