A slow down of activities
such as we have experience<
in the last few days because
of ice and snow gives us time
to reflect on what we are do
ing. It is time well spent to
have to stop occasionally and
be forced to do nothing, at
least in the way of our usual
work. The scripture that says
“Be still and know that I am
God" perhaps isappliablehere.
We may be busy and feel that
what we are doing is very im
portant, but there are times
when something as simple as
frozen water can completely
stop us. It ought to give us an
idea of just how powerless and
dependant we all are on our
surroundings.
There's a poem about how
a kingdom was lost for want

of a horseshoe nail. How de
pendant we are on even the
little things of life. Our Lora
can take the seemingly small
and insignificant items of our
existance and teach us some
thing about his kingdom. It is,
in fact, through such teachings
that we see our place in his
scheme of things. It’s not that
we should always see how small
and unimportant we are- some
of us feel that way far more
than is good for us. Rather,
we should also see how loved
and wanted we are as in the
case of even the smallest spar
row which falls and is seen of
God. Use these times of re
duced activity to see God a
fresh and acknowledge your
dependance on him and grate
fulness to him.

In following up on the fourth
point of our series entitled
“The Greatest Performance of
the Ages’* Luke 1:45, I point
out that Christ’s Birth was a
protracted performance in that
he is God’s prophet, priest
and king. We saw last week
that He, as Prophet, was God’s
word. John 1:14.
Second: e, as Priest, is
God's Lamb.
The origin of Christ’s prie
sthood was from God. Heb. 5
10. He was called of God.
The order of Christ’s pries
thood was in God. He was
commissioned of God there
fore God said “thou art a
priest forever after the order
of Melchlsedec’’ (Heb. 5:6) who
was a type of Christ in the
Old Testament. Gen.l4dß.Mel
chisedec was a king-priest, his
name means king of righteous
and he was king of Salem which
means peace.

Purpose of the convocation
Is to mobilize United Methodists

Key ’73 is a voluntary move

In
Memory
“In Loving Memory"
In Loving memory of Rich
ard Witherow, who left us one
year ago today.
As he rode into the night,
he didn't ride alone. God rode
the aie beside him, he didn't
die alone. The one loved much
was called away. The call was
sudden, the shock severe. With
a little of thought that Death
was near. The golden gates
stood open. God saw he needed
rest, Heaven must be beauti
ful since he took the very best.
We miss him today more than
the day God took him away.
But one day we'll see his
smiling face, and hear his
gentle voice. Deep in our hea
rts he's with us yet rest on
loveone you were on your way
home. You said home we didn’t
know it was that Heavenly
home. Son you worked while
we sleep. Now you sleep while
we weep. You always came
by at Christmas time if Just
to say Hi. This Christmas day
you never came by , you didn't
say Hi, you spent Christmas
with God in the sky.

In
Memory
In loving memory of Cleon
Jones who passed away seven
years ago on January 10.
Cleon was young. Strangers
to him were people; therefore,
he always had a smile.
We do not have the wisdom
to understand God’s plan. But,
we do have the faith to under
stand that Cleon is sheltered
dafety “within the arms of God!’
There are days when we would
like to hear his voice, see his
smile or hear his laugh. Yet,
those days will be renewed
when God’s final plan is ful
filled. Until then, Cleon has
gone to live within our hearts.
With kindest regards,
Cleon’s Family

That’s what Grandma always says that I have Grandfather’s eyes.
It’s certainly a mixed-up world, isn’t it? People having other people’s
eyes.
But they never say Grandfather has my eyes. I asked Dad about it.
Although he didn’t answer directly, he did say that we all have to have
faith and character worth passing on to our children. That’s why we go
to church.
Later it occurred to me: Someday, somebody will have my eyes ... my
faith.
