First is the abiding capacity of the American people to respond to challenge when that challenge is made clear to them and they are given a sense of direction. This goes to the very heart of the American character. We built this nation by successfully meeting an unending series of coope ration that you see today in the way Americans are res ponding to the energy shortages. We are making it through the shortages because we are united in our determination to make it as a nation. The second factor that is overlooked by those who want to dismantle the free enterprise system m order to save it is the incredible capacity of a free economy to adjust to shocks. After World War II, all the wise men said there would be a depression. But the depression never came. We adjusted to the shocks of converting from a wartime to a peacetime economy by relying on those millions of eyes of the free enterprise system This economy today has an equal ca pacity to adjust to meet the energy shortage.” --Secretary of Commerce Frederick B.

A special thanks to the Nyssa High School students who worked and helped in every way to make this year’s Heart Fund Campaign a big success. Your donation of time and money is deeply appreciated. Pancho Rios Chairman of Heart Fund Campaign Reverend Bob's Column One of the most reward ing experiences of my brief journalistic career has been writing the series ofbiogra- phical sketches of the minis ters and churches of Nyssa and Adrian Since this senes of sket ches began, we have writ ten of the life and ministry of seventeen ministers and their congregations. During this, all of us have learned more about each other. One thing of great signifi cance to me has been the circumstances which brought each man into the ministry. Some were born in the par sonage and after watching their father faithfully ser ving God in the church and the community, felt the 'call' to dedicate their lives to this wonderful work Others were influenced in a similar way by older brothers, or uncles or their own pastors. One felt the ‘call’ while in a fox hole in Korea Still ot hers were policemen, lea ders in the business world or college students and felt God ’tapping’ them on the shoulder. One was a member of a congregation, the pas tor left, and there was no one to fill the pulpit so on Sunday morning he picked up his Bible, preached his first sermon which began twelve years of pastoring. Regard less of the way it happened all of these seventeen men share this strong feeling that they are now doing what God chose them to do. And then in my conversa tions with them I could sense a real desire to help people. When they answered the call they did it because they wan ted to bring men to God and God to men. Their reasons for helping people were so people could find real hap piness, peace of mind, the answers to their own per sonal problems and true pur poses for living. This de sire to serve God and serve people is what keeps the pas tor going on year after year amid times of frustration, pe riods of seemingly little re sults, disappointment and mo ments when he feels like giving up. And then 1 found that the minister’s work was very different from most yet si milar to others. The carpen ter works with his plane and wood, the plumber with the pipe wrench and plumb ing, the mechanic with tools NAZARENE CHURCH NOTES and engines but the minis ter works with The Bible and the souls of men. Eventhough he often works side by side w ith the doctor, yet often when the doctor can do nothing more for the dying body, the minister continues to minis ter to the soul preparing the person to live on for ever However, I found his profession to be somewhat like that of the teacher or elected persons such as pub lic officials. The minister, at times, feels he has to satisfy everyone. He is of ten patted on the back’ for a good sermon or kic ked’ for a mistake Some times if his mistake is bad enough his congregation has •roasted preacher’ forSun- day dinner. Now, lest you misunder stand me, let me say being a minister is the happiest, most rewarding, most ful filling task ever given to a person. All seventeen of these ministers wouldn't do anything else with their li ves and would quickly ac cept the ’call’ or the ’tap’ on the shoulder if they had it to do over again. It is 'sort of’ like this. Several years ago, a boy and his minister father were driving down the highway and saw a billboard lauding the stunts of the late Douglas Fair banks. His son asked, "Can you climb a steep wall like that?” "No, I coulAi’t," answered his father. "Icould n’t even find the toe holds. But I can do things that Fairbanks wouldn't dare try to do.” Seeing the boy’s look of doubt, he went on, “In the last hospital 1 vi- sited, a young wife had a little boy who was born dead. What could Douglas Fair banks do with a broken hear ted grieving parents."This is something of what the ministry is all about All of you could tell me of the times when your ministers made the difference’ and this is what the ministry is. Re member that, when youthink of your own pastors. Next week this column will have a new author Dirick Nedry will tell of the Ministry of ‘yours truly’ and of the church he pastors.
