Weekly Meditation Sponsored by Blackshear Ministerial Association By Jack Arnold Pastor, Pierce Circuit Methodist Charge The 23rd Psalm A matter of controversy that occasionally captures the at tention of religion groups is the question of whether man has a soul or not. The Rev. Joseph Parker, great British preacher, was once given a pamphlet which quoted certain Scriptures and gave certain proofs that seemed to support the leaflet’s contention that there is no soul within any human being. The next Sunday morning, Rev. Parker went into his pulpit, holding high the pamphlet which had been distributed among the congregation. As he entered the pulpit he cried out, “I have no soul!” An electrifying silence raced over the assembly. After a sus penseful pause, the preacher went on. “I am a soul; I have a body.” The Bible seems to pre suppose the existence of the soul. Its writers write from the viewpoint that they and their fellow men are souls created by God for eternal fellowship with one another and with God. One of the great scriptural passages is the 23rd Psalm. Have you ever delved be neath its beautiful poetry to its actual meaning for us of today? I have taken the li berty of restating the Psalm so that its pastoral terms may have a deeper spiritual mean- Subscription Price and Tax Inside county $2.58 Outside county, in state $4.12 Outside state - $4.00 By Sp 4 David E. Howell WITH I FIELD FORCE VIETNAM, PLEIKU, RVN — “The biggest problem we have is special diets for patients,” says Army Staff Sergent Ro bert D. Roberson, 39, Route 2, Nahunta, Ga. He’s the mess sergeant of the 18th Surgical Hospital near Pleiku in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam. “Another problem is the number of people we serve, up to 250 people a day. Although we have no trouble getting the food we need, we just don’t know how many patients we’ll have on any day. “We have the best cooks and bakers in the business, and we’ve lucky to have them. They get up in the middle of the night to feed incoming patients, and they take special pride in the way the meal is prepared.” As mess sergeant, Roberson wears two hats. He is also the dietition for the hospital, and had three months special training at Fort Gordan, Ga., before coming to Vietnam last June. Menus are comparable to those at any top-flight restau rant in the United States of fering three or four choices — pancakes, eggs any style. French toast and cereals for breakfast, plus fruit and juices. Meat range from roast beef to hamburgers: fresh salads are a daily offering; there is a wide choice pf fresh and canned vegetables, and fresh, cold chocolate milk is almost always available with iced tea and coffee for those who prefer them. And the biscuits — served every day — are “homemade.” Floyd Morgan Died in Miami Mrs. Lucinda Morgan was called to Miami last week be cause of the serious illness and death of her son, Floyd C. Morgan, 54. He died in a vet erans hospital in Miami. He was a veteran of World War H and had made his home in Miami for the past few years. His burial was in Miami. Besides his wife and mother he is survived by a daughter of Jacksonville, a son Phillip, Jseup; two brothers. Allen C. Morgan and Floyd (Buck) Morgan, Miami and a sister, Mrs. Jewel Trhlik. ing. First let me suggest that you pause and read the 23rd Psalm in your Bible. The Psalm seems to be divided into four distinct parts, which I titled in this interpretation. God’s Guidance The Lord is the Shepherd of my soul, I shall not spiritually want. He makes me content in the green pastures of his love: He leads me into quiet places of prayer and medi tation. Where He restores my soul. He leads me in the way of righteous living For the sake of his holy name. God’s Protection Yes, even though the sha dow of death is cast over me, I will feel no spiritual evil For Thou art with me; The Rod which is thy Holy Word And the Staff of Thy Holy Spirit Comfort me in all my dis tress. God’s Redemption Thou preparest the table of thy love for me Where I may meet the enemies of my soul face to face. Thou anointest my head with faith and endurance. My cup of life overflows with thy loving kindness. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
