High and Lifted Up
LENTEN LIFELINES
By RAU'H W. LOKYV. D.D.
Written for
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
There is an ancient story in the
Old Testament which told of a
serpent, made of brass, which
Moses held on a staff before the
people, that Uicy might bo healed.
It might have been only an in
cident from the distant past ex
cept that it became magnificently
alive when Jesus discussed the
possible event in his own life
"As Moses lifted up the ser
pent In the wilderness, so must
the Son of Man be lifted up."
Tho other insight is from the
prophet Isaiah who spoke of on
experience, in his life, "In the
year that King Uzzlnh died, I
saw the Lord, high and lifted up.
Now tho point of all this for
our own existence Is that wc
ought to have something to lift
us up beyond peering into distant
space or the attempt to measure
our universe. Unless wo have a
faith great enough to lift us up.
we shall live in illusions. One of
these deluding hopes is that wc
can do it ourselves, as though all
we need is to devise a kit of
rules and with enough spunk,
somehow wo can pull ourselves
vut of our problems.
Or there Is tho other illusion
which makes us think that we're
not going to see much when we
look up. So it makes us content
to talk of man's existence as
though It wero all noiso and sex
and selfish individualism. 1 1 s

BI.Y The Altar Rosary Society
of St. James Catholic Church met
at tho home of Mrs. Martin Mels

coming fund-raising dinner mid

world." This overcoming of the
problem gave another dimension
to life. There was a reason to
interpret the suffering, a goal be
yond the moment.
It is a measure of greatness
that only those who lift tile value
of all people are truly great.
This puts tho sense of vocation
the reason to lift Into every
man's experience.
When Jane Addams was being
buried In Chicago years ago, an
old Italian lady stood in the midst
of tho oratory and eulogies to in
sist on a simple experience. She
said eloquently, "She 'puslia' me
up. So, in the life of a person
there can be that which lifts up.
For St. Paul it was in a per.
sonal experience. When lie
thought of Christ and his cross,
he could say simply, "For me to
live is Christ, to die is gain. .
am persuaded: thai nothing can
separate us from the lovo of God
through Christ Jesus our Ixird.'"
Here was a faith that lifts up.
Perhaps, we've sent too much
lime and money on public rein
Uons and personal publicity in an
attempt to lift ourselves before
mankind. Whenever people talk
about foreign aid or some other
noble project they ask, "What
will it get us?" In tho end men
want to see truth expressed
through the personal Integrity and
dedication of tho human being.
Wo don't need to try to sell men
on tho idea which gives dignity
to all persons.
A cross is a strange symbol to
lift up. In itself it represents
cruelly. On such cruelty, love Is
expressed. It is that fact which
still lifts men and becomes the
critical fact in our own religious
experience, iiod s good news
wasn't born in an attempt to
rationalize our situation. It was
born out of crosses and suffer
ings that came because love was
the only way to handle the situa
tion.
The really courageous people
arc not those who go whistling as
though nothing was wrong. The
really courageous people know the
horrible w rong but they have also
seen the overcoming right. (II
them some can say, "They pusha
mo up. They themselves say.
For me to live Is (.'hirst, to die
is gain.

Plan Helps
Kick Habit
Of Tobacco
As a non-denominational free
community service, the Klamath
Falls Seventh - dav Adventist
Church will sponsor a controlled
program for those who wish to
stop smoking. The course will
run for five consecutive evenings,
March 17 - 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the
Green Room of the Winema Ho
tel.
The Five-Day Plan to Stop
Smoking, offered in cooperation
with an American health journal,
'Life and Health." is not a reli
gious program. The sessions will
be conducted by Dr. Robert W.
Graham, local ophthalmologist and
eye surgeon, and directed by El
der Kenneth H. McVay, Seventh
day Adventist minister.
Regarded as a comprehensive
assault on the habit, the Five
Day Plan involves group therapy,
lectures, films, the buddy system,
and a personal control booklet.
Discussions will be held on such
topics as the physical effects of
smoking, exercises in strengthen
ing will power, and weakening
physical craving for tobacco.
Because smoking is a complex
neuromuscular habit which mil
lions of people seem unable to
break, they often need a con
trolled program to successfully
kick the habit, Elder McVay said.
SILVER TEA SET
The United Church Women of
Klamath Falls will meet Friday,
March 22, at 1:30 p.m. in Klam
ath Lutheran Church. A silver
tea will be included with the regu
lar business meeting.
Conditions Favor Hillel Growth
WASHINGTON UI . - Forty
years ago, Dr. Edward Chauncev
Baldwin was professor of Biblical
literature at the University of Illi
nois. He was a devout Christian.
Many of his students were Jew
ish, and Dr. Baldwin was ap
palled to discover they knew very
little about the Bible the book
which grew out of the history of
their own people.
Dr. Baldwin voiced his concern
to Benjamin Frankel, a 23-year-
old rabbinical student. Frankel
agreed something ought to be
done about it. With the Christian
professor's help and encourage
ment, the young rabbinical stu
dent established a campus spir
itual center lor Jewish students.
He named it in honor of a great
Jewish sage, Hillel, who lived
about 2.000 years ago.
Frankel died four years later,
at the age of 27. But he had
lived long enough to sell his idea
to B'nai B'rith, the Jewish serv
ice organization. B'nai B'rith un
dertook the establishment of
Hillel Foundations at colleges and
universities all over the country.
Today there are HiUel Founda
tions on 244 campuses in every
section of the United'States, and
similar ones in Europe, Israel,
South Africa, Canada and Aus
tralia. They are served by the
largest staff of rabbis of any
Jewish institution in the world.
The movement instigated by a
Christian professor is still grow
ing, according to Dr. William
Haber, national chairman of the
Hillel Foundations.
"In our formative years,'" he
said, "we had to overcome the
apathy of students. It was a pe
riod when youngsters were run
aways from their Jewish heritage.
answering 'none' to the question
of religious affiliation on their
college admissions cards.
"The academic climate today
favors religious identification
among students. Jewish young
sters, though still sadly informed
about their Judaic heritage, are
no longer runaways. We now
have on file almost 200 applica
tions for Hillel units at colleges
where we are not yet based."
