Youth And Age
America has been a youth
oriented nation for the last
half generation, but with the
sharpely declining birth
rate, we are going to experi
ence a much longer period of
time as a nation of older peo
ple.
Normally, much care and
attention are given to chil
dren and youth as, deep in
side, man realizes he must
prepare them to take over
and carry on civilization.
But how a people treat their
older citizens whose major
productive years are gone is
a telling commentary on the
strength and goodness of
that people.
We owe a great debt to
many of our older folks who
have worked hard and long
to produce a great nation
and who have given many of

Facing Each Day
In Psalms 118:24 the
writer tells us “this is the
day that the Lord has made,
Let us rejoice and be glad in
it.” How.do you face each
new day? Do you face it with
joy, with the promise of a
day to be happy or a day to
be filled with misery and
contempt?
In a Peanuts comic strip,
Charlie Brown notices that
Lucy seems to be in one of
her usual bad moods. He
draws attention to her
“crabby face” and she re
plies, “I like my crabbv
face. I’m proud of my
crabby face. Remember, the
crabby-faced little girls of
today will be the crabby
faced women of tomorrow!”
And you know, I think she’s
not far from the truth.
Plays For Living
Mark and Marilyn argue over their son who was injured in a
skateboard accident in the play “Divide and Multiply” at Ot
well Middle School Nov. 13. The play was produced by At
lanta Plays for Living and was sponsored by the Future
Homemakers of America club at the school. “Divide and
Multiply” and an open discussion afterwards were on single
parenthood, divorce and marital separation. The play was
written by Joan Bell Thorne and directed by Charlee Lam
bert.

us so much headway to be
gin our lives.
When we are young, old
age and death are not a part
of our thinking and planning.
Older people are often left
out of our thinking and activ
ities until one day when sud
denly our mortality dawns
on us.
I don’t feel any older or
different now than I did
when I was 19. But now I’m
more than twice that age
and realize that the number
of years ahead of me is in all
probability less than those
behind me.
As we approach Thanks
giving we. would do well to
truly thank God for those
who have gone before us and
solved so many problems in
advance of us. They paid a
price.
So must we.
r*
I’ve discovered the reason
the picutres on our drivers’
licenses look so bad. First of
all, when it’s taken after
your test, a state trooper
takes it and it’s sort of hard
to be happy when a state
trooper takes your picture.
Secondly, it is probably is
due to the fact that if the oc
casion arises and we are
stopped by the state police,
the picture on our driver’s li
cense will match our mood
at that time.
So the whole point is, how
do we face each new day?
How will you let the various
circumstances influence
you? When you meet some
one on the street or a place
of business, does their
“crabby mood” influence
you or does your mood of
gladness have the influence?
The supper is at 6 p.m.
with the service following at
7 p.m. ;;
Featured singers will be
the Liberty Singers from

Spiritual Gifts
|i? Spiritual gifts are special
that God gives us to
accomplish his work. I Peter
trio says,” As each one has
received a special gift em
ploy it in serving one an
■ other, as good stewards of
the grace of God.”
§*■ Only a Christian possesses
'.’spiritual gifts. Romans 8:9
gays, “Only those who pos
sess the Holy Spirit possess
the gifts of the Spirit.” Those
gifts can be discovered
through the Spirit who em
; ;powers and uses them.
*'Both psychology and sci
' 'once agree that most men
and women use less than 30
percent of their abilities.
The majority of Christians
are ignorant of the abilites
they have. Some recognize
them and don’t know what to
of the Atlanta Mariott Hotel
at Courtland Street and In
ternational Boulevard in

Hosts for the occasion are
WSB Radio and Hardee’s,

do with them.
A second problem Chris
tians have js comparing -
themselves frith one an
other. As a result, many will.
come to the conclusion that
they have nothing to offer.
According to Romans 12:6,
“God has given us the ability
to do certain things well. ” -
A third problem Christians
face a is competition, dan
petition affects our priori
ties. We are bound to Serve
ourselves instead of God and
his church if we try to com
pete.
Ignorance of our gifts and
an attitude of comparison or
competition are. problems
we face in our search for
spiritual gifts. We can deal
with those problems -
