Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional By DONALD L. FOLSOM, Pastor First Baptist Church GOING ROUND IN CIRCLES We go in circles when we have no commanding goals in life. Too many people suffer from appal ling aimlessness. We go round and round, to the office, or class or factory. This is bad, for with out a unifying goal we scatter our energies and miss the zest God intended us to enjoy. The story is told of a wise lady who was employed as a children’s nurse. One day she took the youngsters to the amusement park. The children spent all their money on the merry-go-round. Their kindly nurse tried to sug gest other things to see and do, but the merry-go-round won out. After they had spent their last cent the nurse maid expressed he r opinion. “I’ve seen you pay your money, I’ve seen you get on and l’v e seen you get off. I only ask one question, “Where have you been?’’ It’s a good question for all of us. Around and around we go and where we come out nobody knows. A famous statesman and executive always asked on e ques tion about anew applicant for employment: “Has he a sense of direction?” Now there are many praise worthy objectives in life. But as the New English Bible states it, our highest loyalty should be to, “Set your mind on God’s Kingdom and His justice before everything else.” Make this your aim.” Then the other things you desire will be by products. A man went into the Five and Ten cent store. He asked the sales lady if they sold compasses. “Yes,” she said, "but only the compasses for doing a circle, not the ones for going places.” The God whose love, wisdom and power we experience as we live deeply gives us a compass for going places. Let’s stop going in circles and be on the way to sat isfying victorious living. CARD OF THANKS It is with a grateful and loving heart that I express my thanks for all the cards, flowers, calls, visits, and any othe r acts of kind ness to me during my stay in Syl van Grove Hospital. I shall al ways remember these many ex pressions of love and be appre ciative of them.—Mrs. Paul J. Evans.

Youth has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge; also the desire, the capacity and the energy to absorb if given even a little encourage ment. But today, perhaps more than ever before in history, youth does need guidance. Be sure the young people in your life have the opportunity to ex amine the whole picture. But in their search for the stars, don't let them forget the miracle of this planet upon which they live and its Creator. Let them know their church.
