THE' FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS, DEC. 30, 1971,
GOD
and
YOU
That he would grant unto us,
that we being delivered out of
the hands of our enemies might
serve him without fear,
In holiness and righteousness
before him, all the days of our
life. (St. Luke 1:74:75)
“In the Philippines, a land of high prices and low wages,
a farmer who found a sackful of money near the site of a plane
crash, delivered it unopened to the police."
This news item was part of a story high-lighting the better
side of human nature which is always evident during the
Christmas season. It went on to tell about another man who
picked up a hitchhiker. When he found his passenger was out
looking for a job, he took him from one factory to another until
the man was finally employed.
Acts of generosity and kindness are not uncommon at Christ
mastime. And that’s fine, even if it is only for a season. But
how about let’s extending it a little longer—through January,
at least. By then, spring and Easter will not be far away,
and that is a season when mankind is again drawn a little closer
together by a common bond of hope which springs eternal in
the human heart.
With a little extra effort, perhaps the following year we might
extend it to include February also. And so on until it reached
from Christmas to Christmas. Afterall, isn’t that what the
Heavenly host had in mind as they praised God? saying, “Glory
to God in the highest, andon earth peace,.good will toward men.”
Anyway, another Christmas has come and gone. And so has
another year. And every good thing that was done in honor of our
Saviour’s birthday shall be remembered in Heaven.
After Christmas, a little housecleaning is in order. Empty
boxes and wrapping paper must be discarded. Christmas trees
are either thrown away or stored away. And the myriad lights
go out for another year.
But again; there is no reason for the light in our hearts to go
out because the Light of all our tomorrows is the Light that will
shine forever.
Extend a hand to
neighbors, friends ... welcome
the New Year with friendship and
understanding. To all, our warm thanks.

Key To Child's

Imagination
Bp

Children still believe in
make-believe—and so does a
Nashville, Tennessee toy
manufacturer. Child psychol
ogists agree that a toy should
tingle the imagination of the
child as well as entertain him.
In a child’s world, a card
board box becomes a “fort” or
a “mansion,” a laundry basket
transforms into a "ship at
sea,” and a box of wooden
clothespins converts into an
“army of wooden soldiers.”
For children 1 to 3 years
old who dream of flying
their own jet into the “blue
beyond," Kusan, Inc. has in
troduced its Ride 'em Jet. The
new toy encourages young
imaginations —and does it
without batteries and delicate
moving parts.
Too many toys that squeek,
talk, move and wink do little
to promote the child's imagin
ation.

After the beginning, man began. And man said, Let
. there be a wheel, and there was a wheel. And man
saw that it was good and invented all sorts of vehicles,
from wagons pulled by oxen to trains driven by the
power of the piston; from carts pulled by ponies to planes
pushed by jet engines. And the evening and the morning,
were the first era.
And man said, Let the laboratories bring forth the
cleansers, the labor-saving devices, the maintenance-free
equipment; let them multiply in infinite variety; and it
was so. And man made self-cleaning ovens, frost-free
refrigerators, remote-control lawn mowers, automatic
washers and dryers, electronic, transistorized trouble-free
equipment of every conceivable type. And man saw that
it was good. And the evening and the morning were the
second era.
And man said, Let there be a new dimension to our
vision so that we can see what takes place on the other
side of the earth as well as in every corner of our country
side and cities. Let this television divide the night from
the day for its viewers so that the night people may rule.
Let it be for a sign of the seasons and give information
to all the earth. And it was so. And man made great
towers to send the vision on waves of light and sound,
and he made a lesser sound called radio to rule the day.
And he set them in the pattern of life to divide the day
into segments, the years into series, and the summers
into reruns. And man saw that it was good, and the
evening and the morning were the third era.
And man said, Let there be power from the building
blocks of the universe. And man made the power by
dividing the atom, and called that power an atomic bomb.
And man said, Let the power of the atom be channeled
into one purpose. And man called that one purpose the
guarantee of Peace upon the earth, and the working
together of all peoples for the benefit of all. And man
saw that it was good. And man said, Let the power bring
forth new ways of manufacturing goods for all men; and
the atom yielded its power to produce submarines, air-

craft carriers, missiles, each yielding after its own kind.
And men thought it was good. And the evening and the
morning were the fourth era.
And man said, Let the men of science bring forth a
craft that will break the power of gravity and fly above
the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And man
created great space capsules, orbiting platforms, com
munications satellites, flying spy machines in order to
explore the universe and to keep track of his earth neigh
bors. Every invention brought forth abundantly after its
kind and inspired new creations. And man saw that it
was good and blessed it with huge budgets, saying, Be
fruitful and multiply in the earth. And the evening and
the morning were the fifth era.
And man said, Let us make a machine in our image,
after our likeness, and let it do all our calculating for us,
keep accurate record of our fiscal affairs, make out the
payroll, keep up to date the data on all scientific progress,
store in memory all the facts of all the earth and every
moving thing in heaven and on earth.
So man created the computer in his own image, com
puter and collater created he them. And man blessed
them and said, Do all the work required of man, multiply
formulas and equations to the end of the universe, take
charge of the power of the atom, and compute the path
of the orbiting spacecraft. And man saw everything that
he had made, and behold, he thought it was very good.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth era.
Thus was all the modern world completed with its host
of ingenious devices created by man. In the seventh era
man said, Now I will rest and enjoy the fruits of all my
labors. But the screaming jets would not let him sleep;
the gadgets and expanded vision gave him stomach ulcers;
his unlimited power kept him nervously suspicious of his
neighbors; and the creation in his own image gave him
answers to his questions he did not like.
Having made all things for his comfort and enjoyment,
man found himself still in trouble. Great and marvelous
were his achievements; but they brought no peace to him
or to the world. For in the beginning was God, who made
man, and made his heart to be restless until it finds its
rest, not in man’s inventions, but in the Creator and
Ruler who created peace and bestows it upon those who
believe in the One he sent.
MAY 1972 HAVE THIS KIND OF GENESIS.
