The Minister's Corner In the Good Old Summertime By G. Wm. Anderson Who among us does not thrill at the thought of sum mertime? It is a season when we see the fruition of all the year's labor. The crops are out, the berries are in season, school is out, and we are all ready to enjoy three months of summer. Isn't it wonderful that God has appointed a season which we call “the good old Bummertime?” Too bad we so seldom think of God in con nection with the benefits of summer. God is really res ponsible for the whole thing. In the first place God created nature and set it in order. When all was done, God created man to enjoy the benefits of nature. It has been proven that when people care for Na ture and consider the goodness of God of creating this beauti ful world for us to live in men achieve the highest form of religious impetus. When people neglect either God’s forests, God’s ground or God’s spiritual nature in man, they are trou bled b£ flood, famine and soul starvation. In the second place, God shows his goodness- toward us in his forgiveness for our ne glect of him by allowing us to continue to enjoy benefits. God could remove all the beauties of his nature, God could have kept his Son in heaven and never sent him to die for our At the Churches sins of neglect of the things of God, but thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. One of the contributions which the Christian religion has made to mankind is to ever keep before man his blessings from the heavenly Father and to ever call for appreciation of God’s great physical and spiritual resources. God gives us the trees from which we secure lumber to make money to build our homes. God gives us the oil, electricity, gas and wood with which we heat our homes. God gives us the woods and metals and plastics from which we furnish our houses. God gives us the electricity with which we light our homes. God gives us the materials from which we create our radios, television sets, motion pictures from which we create on our own. Especially ¡ b that true in this atomic age. God gave us the hands and the minds to bring in this atomic age. He placed at our d'sposal his re sources locked in the earth. He provided the inspiration to create these things for the use of mankind. Next time you start thinking you are anything of your own and that you make your living and that you have “pulled yourself up by your own boot-straps” remember, “Taiat so!” “In the good old summer time,” remember God. | The closing program and display of hand work, will be Thursday j evening of this week at 7:30 in place of Friday evening.

Then they got me to go along and hear the preacher and then 1 tried to get Pa—“No, the preacher will bawl me out when he hears that I tend bar.” But we kept at Pa and one night he rigged up and went along. Just as we got in, Dr. Scofield was saying how Al mighty God had lifted him out of what was to have been a drunkards grave—“and he can lift you too”, he said. That got Pa and he kept going and at last God saved Pa too and, added the woman, we have been a happy family ever since. GOD DID IT—He put our sins on Christ who who died under them to clear us. Yes, God so loevd you and me and the bar-keeper down in Texas, that he gave his only-born Son, that if we should believe in Him, we should not perish but have eternal life. YOUR PART—Quit trying in your own strength to be good and to lift yourself up into joy and hope. Receive Christ into your heart as your own Lord and Sav iour. Turn sinful ways and heavy days over to Him and may God the giver of hope fill you with all Him—so that you may be over flowing with hope thru the power of the Holy Spirit. S. W. McChesney Rd..
