SEEKING THE TRUTH It can hardly be denied that, with a isinterestedness not matched by any other ass, the true scientist approaches every problem with an open mind, unfettered by ce. le has no ancient beliefs or super- stition to defend, no special cause to plead, 1 interest to advance. + He tries at »s to define, so far as is humanly pos- i dividin« ‘line between fact and theory, although he deals with both. theories cre given respectful ex- n, and if they can be proved they ed their places in the categories And when the scientific world in reaches an agreement in any mat- is the best possible evidence of its amina In an address before a scientific as- on Chief Justice Hughes once said: “We need your interest in knowledge its own sake; your ceaseless search for : your willingness to discard every proved theory, however honored by tra- yn, while you jealously conserve eve 1in of the past.” WOULD YOU CALL THIS FATE? On his way to work, one day recently, 2 machinist in New York observed a womar. dangling by her hands from the sill of a third story window. While a crowd called to the woman to hold on, the man jumped a fence, braced elf and, in a moment, she dropped di- vy into his arms. The woman was slightly hurt and the man’s shoulder “ached a little later in the day.” The story illustrates fate. Had the man not appeared, the woman would’prob- ybiy have lost her life. As it happened, there was no romanee as both were mar- | ried. RELIGION OF LIFE By REV. TED M. JONES. Pastor of First Baptist Church look at New chance for a So many of us Years Day as a “Fresh Beginning”, or a new Start. Most of us, when the day comes, are not ready or are too willing to excuse ourselves till some other time. To those who live for the good and for God, New Year's Day is only a reckon- ing day. how far we've “Fallen short of the Glory God”. To me, the day issues a warn- ing expressed in the words of the set, Longfellow: Life is real, life is earne And the Grave is not it’s goal! How many of us live in fear of the grave, and yet to realize that life itself is nothing but what we want to make it? The first ques- tion! What will you make of your life in 1941? Edgar Allen Poe expresses perfect picture of what life is in “The Bells”. Here he in it’s four magnitudes: gh bells, denoting youth, ness and jrresponsibility; the Wedding bells, with the sweet f ess of dreams realized, pas- buoy up: the Fire that middle life has and the hustle and world causes life to last, the solemn to excuse us from make the words of when he to see of on and love bells, to show been reached bustle of the climax; then.

Lesson Text: Luke 12:35-48 Somehow it seems particularly appropriate that the year’s lessons with an admoriticn to faithfulness. With a brand new year just a vy days off, Je- sus’ words as to what is expected of his followers ought to be a challenge to all Christians to re- solve to live more faithfully in the coming year. In order to live one’s life fully and faithfully as a Christian should, we have to prepare our- selves for living and make ready for dying and the life hereafter. Perceiving the danger that his dis- ciples might become so absorbed in preparing for living this life by providing for their physical needs (which is proper in its place), Je- sus urged that they place his king- dom first and be always prepared for his return. In order to make his meaning clearer to his listeners, Jesus re- lated the story of the master who found his servants faithful and waiting for him, whereupon he rewarded them. In a similar par- able Jesus declared that the mas- ter of the house does not know at what hour the thief may come and, for this reason, he must be constantly on guard to protect his Possessions. He applied the mes- sage of these parables to his dis- ciples in the words “Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not, the Son of man com- eth.” There are two phases in life for which we must be prepared We must prepare ourselves to live life at its ful’sst and best. This naturally includes the prop- er cultivation and development of the three-fold nature of an indi- vidual—his_ body, his mind and his soul. We should, not develop either nature, overlooking any other. Many people anxiously watch the development of their physical beings, doing everything necessary to the proper care of ‘their bodies, with never a thought to the culture of their mental or spiritual natures. There are parents in every community who see to it, even to the point of personal sacrifice, that their children have the ne- cessary requirements for proper development of their bodies who, apparently, have no thought to the development cf their child- ren's spiritual or mental nature. The second phase for which we must be prepared is Christ’s sec- ond coming. At times people have become very excited about the return of our Lord, even to the extent of predicting the exact day and time. Seme have sold their property, left the everyday world .and -gathered on a. hich imountain so as to be among the We end first to greet him. Luke declares, “The Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Mark also declares: “But and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son bet the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know aot when the of that day time is.” We do not need to concer. our- selves about the time. Our chief ‘ is that so as to be r¢ concern we shall always Eve Coes come. Readiness for his s ond coming can be measured by our faithfulness in telling others of first coming. And, should remember that we cannot be ready for his coming without adequate preparation. The athlete who has. not been thoroughly trained. cannot hope to win the race. The Christian who has not given some time and thought to his preperation canot hope to me- rit the reward given for faithful- stewardship. Christ.urges us to be ready, to be like servants looking for the return of their lord from a wed- ding feast. We must, of course, first of all take Jesus into our hearts and lives as Saviour and Lord. If. we do this, we will sin cerely try to live the kind of life that Jesus wants us to live—use- ful, serviceable lives. A life of this kind will help us face temp- tation and overcome it and ‘ill be a living testimony to the pow- er and grace of Jesus Christ. Some day all of us will have to come face to face with God.
