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

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.

DALLAS, TEX—Pa got a job
tending bar and I sent the young
'uns to the nearest Sunday school.
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.

connection of house sewage sys
tems to the sewer collection mains
or branches, besieged the city
council at the last regular meet
ing.
Understanding at the council is
that the contractor wants to either
put the line from the collection
lines to the house system or noth
ing at all, it was declared. After
much discussion, pro and con, it
was brought out that the sewer
lines do not branch out to property
lines. That work must be done,
and paid for by the property
owner.
