“Living on the Brink” is the
title of this week’s International
Sunday School lesson. Back
ground Scripture is 2 Kings
14:8-14; Psalms33:l3-17; Isaiah
31; Jeremiah 21:27; 2 Peter 3:8-
13.
The Memory Selection is “We
look not at things that are seen,
but at the things that are not
seen; for the things which are
seen are temporal; but the
things which are not seen are
eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18.)
One might say this will be
Thanksgiving Sunday. True it
comes several days before
Thansgiving Day (Nov. 23) but
the following Sunday and
Thanksgiving will be past.
With this in mind let us join
the Psalmist and say with him
“Bless the Lord, O my soul; and
all that is within me, bless His
Holy Name.” (Psalms 103:1.)
For even though these are
days that “Try Men’s Souls,”
we still have much for which to
thank God.
American poet, John
Greenleaf Whittier in his poem
“The Eternal Goodness” says:
“Yet in the maddening
maze of things,
And tossed by storm
and flood,
To one fixed trust
my spirit clings,
I know that God is good.”
With this in mind, though we
stand on the Brink of un
certainty in many ways — still
with faith in God and his
unlimited compassion for
people we can face the future
with faith and hope in our hearts
and minds.
Charles Laymon introduces
this lesson by writing:
I talked recently with a
woman seated next to me in a
compartment of a railway car
on the Flying Scotsman train
enroute to Edinburgh. She had
lived in London during the blitz
when the Germans flew over the
city almost nightly to bomb it.
“How did you stand it,” I asked,
“never knowing if, and when,
and to what extent a bomb
would strike your home?”
She replied, “Prayer and a
sense of humor brought us
through.” She went on to
recount the humorous things
that occurred, like the loss of
one shoe, a suitcase that landed
on the top of a church steeple, or
a donkey marooned on a patch
of pavement in the midst of a
destroyed area. “We each had
our story to relate in broad
daylight after a night of terror,”
she said. “But of course it was
the prayers that brought us
through,” she added. “We
learned that we were not
forgotten by God, even though
the worst might happen.”
Truly these Londoners had
been living on the brink. How
can a person live when faced
with disaster? What are his
options? This is the question we
must face.
A friend once said to me that
in every situation, no matter
what, there is always a
Christian thought to think, a
Christian word to speak, and a
Christian act to do. This was his
formula for living on the outer
edge of destruction. Do we
believe this? Do we practice
this?
The Background Scripture for
this lesson explains our reasons
for being optimistic of the
future.

Runaways
picked up
in Griffin
A Spalding County resident on
the Macon road thought she saw
two men with a flashlight
prowling around her house
about 2 o’clock this morning.
She called the Sheriff’s office
and when deputies arrived, they
spotted three young girls
walking down the highway
toward Griffin. They were
carrying a flashlight and a
radio.
The deputies, Davis Peeples
and Albert Busbee, stopped to
question the girls and were told
that they (the girls) were
walking home to Griffin from a
party in Orchard Hill. The
deputies said they suspected
there was more to the story than
that, so they brought the girls to
the Sheriff’s office where the
young women confessed they
had run away from home in
Thomaston after school
yesterday.
They were ages 12,13 and 14-
years-old.
They told the lawmen they
were on their way to Atlanta
and had hired a taxi to bring
them part of the way. They had
about seven dollars among
them and were carrying nothing
but the radio and flashlight,
deputies said.
Upon calling the Thomaston
Police Department, it was
learned that the girls’ parents
were “frantic and the
Thomaston area lawmen had
been looking everywhere for
them”.
Their parents came to Griffin
to take them back home.
Deputy Peeples explained to
the girls that they were doing a
dangerous thing in leaving
home.
They giggled.
