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."

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 ."

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.
