understood. Far too many times
our own estimate of what self
denial is proves to be only self
indulgence. The man, we were
told, might want a Foreign
made, expensive car. .but he de
nies (?) himself this pleasure
and buys a fine one made in the
U. S. Likewise the wife may
want a fine ermine coat but she
compromises, gives up the er
mine coat and settles for a Mink
one. Do we know what self den
ial really is? Do we know what
it means to follow “HIM?” We
think of and talk of “taking up
the cross”. . .it’s not easy. .
nor is it simply burden-bearing.
We think we are bearing a great
burden when funds are low, our
health is gone, when children go
wrong, or when the house burns.
These things could be and are
just thorns in the flesh, as ex
plained in Corinthians, .but they
are not crosses. . .some of these
are “choices” we have made. .
What is “bearing one’s cross?”
It is simply choosing a course
of action SOLELY FOR CHRIST’S
SAKE. . .to follow in his foot
steps as did the man who walk
ed out on the foreman who told
him to do something which was
not right. He chose the “Way
of the Cross, which leads home.”
It was Paul who made this very
clear that the only assurance of
victory is the Cross of Christ.
Have you ever heard the story
of the ground around the cross
being level? Well that was ex
plained this way. . .If you stand
on this level ground at the Cross
. . .none have the advantage over
another. So, let’s always seek
level ground, so that we will
never try to take advantage of
another.
Hospital Auxiliary
Our hats are off to the Hos
pital Auxiliary Ladies! They,
of Newton County Hospital held
their annual meeting at the Elks
Club yesterday at a lovely lunch
eon. Instead of Red Hatchets
for the cutting down of Cherry
Trees, and Members who had
“failed to measure up”. . .
there were beautiful pins, won
by fine services, and some even
received stripes for extra hours,
beyond the line of duty, put in
at the hospital . . we are not say
ing this because we love her
exactly, .but Mrs. Edna Miller
we believe, holds the most hon
ors, in extra stripes to pin on
her uniform, of any other hos
pital member. We are justly
proud of Mrs. Miller! Three
cheers for her!
You will read about this meet
ing elsewhere in the paper. Their
work is one of the most reward
ing that a person can do, in many
ways. For all the equipment
added to the hospital by their ef
forts, they rejoice, yet the great
est happiness that comes to
a “Pink Lady”istheheartwarm
ing satisfaction of giving of them
selves in service. That is their
full pay for many hours of ser
vice, and such comfort to know
they are able to give of them
selves where needed. Several
new members have recently been
added to the group.
There are many ways in this
old world that each of us can
give of ourselves, if its only a
word to the weary, a prayer
with one in sorrow, or a pat on
the head of a lonely child. Bet
ter be “SWEEPIN’ UP.”
