GOD'S HAND ON
SCHWEITZER'S SHOULDER
If someone were to ask you
to name the greatest living per
son today, whom would you
select? For many, it would be •
difficult to look at the con
stellation of great personalities
and choose one and proclaim
that he or she is the greatest
living person in our world to
day. On January 14. 1875, a
lad was born n Kayersberg,
Germany, and was destined to
become one of the greatest men
who ever lived. His name is not
v ell known as many men who
have attained fame. But when- !
ever his name is mentioned, it '
is always in a.n atmosphere of ■
admiration, respect, and rever- [
ence. Albert Schweitzer has been I

LOW-COST Purina Bulky-Las, mixed 1-3 with
your grain, makes a sound, dollar-saving
MILKING RATION for most herds!
If you’re like most dairymen, you've a good many
‘‘3-gallon cows” tn your herd. For cows of this
production level, Purina Bulky-Las mixed 1-3 with
grain is a sound, body-building ration that keeps
your cows in good condition, building body for
steady milk flow, and often costs you LE.SS PER
BUSHEL THAN THE GRAIN YOU USE!
Bulky-Las contains body-building mineralsand
vitamins your grains lack. High in molasses, it is a
favorite with cows, adding palatability and bulk
to whatever grains you use.
For profit after feed cost from cows giving 3
gallons of milk a day or less, feed Purina Bulky-
Las and grain.
Thouiands of former-dairymen ' row it pays!

called the greatest living per

Recently a friend of mine
i went to Lambarene to see this
I great man. He told me that
I he was overwhelmingly impres
sed with Dr. Schweitzer's hu
mality. dedication, and energy.
He will soon be 82 years of
age. Yet, he works on an aver
age of 14 hours a day. His
steady and skillful hands oper

sick and suffering.
Albert Schweitzer was already
famous as a musician, philoso
pher, and theologian at the
age of 30. He had become a
master at the organ, and a re
i spected teacher of philosophy
; and theology. He was success-
I ful and happy. Yet, he was de-

Have you ever seen a sculptor
at work? At first or to begin
with, his prospective statue may
be an ugly unsightly hunk of
I stone, but bv and by as he cuts
away the unsightly sides of the
; image before him, it begins to
take shape, and as he continues
; lo chisel away all the reughness
;of the stone and with infinate
patience polishes it until at last
it stands before him a finished
product, a beautiful, graceful,
gleaming likeness of something,
or someone, then you are made
to wonder at the skill of the
sculptor.
Well, this is what is happening
to us at County Line. God. the
divine sculptor, with pastor Lyle
jas his tool, is chiseling away
jon we Christians, all our faults
land unlovely traits are falling
I away one by one, until at last,
maybe we will stand before him
fashioned in the likeness and
image of God. Perhaps it will
lake a lot of chiseling and polish
ing to make of us a finished pro
duce, » beautiful work of art
from the hand and tool of our
maker.
In other words, pastor Lyle as
God's mouthpiece, cuts close and
we all love him for it. The Savior
wants us to have abundant spirit
ual life,, in fact, he will not accept
anything short of it. And so we
march upward and onward.
The Friday night prayer meet
ing will be held in the home of
Mrs. Lump Smallwood at 14 Elm
Street in Porterdale. Everyone
welcome to attend.
Mrs. Roy Houston has been i
recuperating at the local hospital
for the last several days. We
pressed to think of the thous
ands, who, because of poor
health and poverty could not
be thrilled by life. This unrest
and concern for others was God’s
way pf placing his hand on
Schweitzer's shoulder.
‘‘One brilliant summer morn
ing in Gunsbach,” wrote Dr.
Schweitzer, “there came to me,
as I awoke, the thought that
j I must not accept this happi-
I ness as a matter of course, but.
,must give something in return.’’
1 Before he got up from his bed
।he decided to give his life un
i reservedly to serving his fel
i lowman. He tells us that after
j making this decision he had not
: only outward happiness, but in
, ward happiness as well.
: When he announced his in
: tention to go to Equatorial Af
i rica as a medical missionary, his
i friends and relatives violently
; protested. There were those who
j felt that he was not quite right
| in the head. Many felt he was
• burying his talents. He left a
i brilliant career In Europe only
■ to take up a more thrilling ca
■ reer as a direct partner of God.
When Dr. Schweitzer arrived
in Labarene, the only available
consulting room was a chicken
house. Before the drugs and in
’ struments could be unpacked,
, he was besieged by sick people,
j After a few months a corrug
i ated iron bnilding, 26 feet long,
and 13 feet wide was erected
as a hospital. The roof was
। made of palm leaves. Around
this building, with his own
hands, and the help of some
i natives, a number of bamboo
j huts were gradually constructed
i for the sick patients. Most of
i the buildings which comprise
i the hospital today are made of
j corrugated iron. Dr. Schweitzer,
a man of fame, left his life
;of luxury to minister to a peo
i pie, who, in the eyes of many
J did not count, but in the eyes
j of God and Schweitzer were im
i portant. Some people thought
I he was insane, but this is what
: happened when God placed his
; hand on Schweitzer’s shoulder.
