Making a Mark
In Time
By JACK ARNOLD
Pastor, Pembroke Methodist
Church
“If any will not work, neither
let him eat.” I Thessalonians 3:10.
There art many things in life
that can be excused. Honest mis
takes can be overlooked. Lack of
skill can be pardoned. Slowness
of mind may be tolerated. But
there is one fault that can not be
ignored by either God or man.
That fault is for an able person
not to do his share of work. In
fact there's only one way to ever
really amount to something in life.
That way is through work. We
all crave success. Sometimes we
spell success the wrong way. Some
people spell success with the let
ters p-u-1-1. Others spell it with
the letters g-e-n-i-u-s. Success to
others is spelled f-a-m-i-l-y or
b-a-c-k-g-r-o-u-n-d. But I think
that success to God is spelled
WO-RK.
All the significant things that
have been done in this world have
been done through hard work. The
Bible tells us that the creation of
the world was such hard wrok for
God that even He had to have
some rest. Work is a word con
stantly used in connection with the
action of the Spirit of God and
the Son of God in our spiritual
lives. Work is used in significant
passages of Scripture to describe
the Christian life. “Work out your
salvation.” “Faith without work
is dead.”
When Paul wrote the Thessalon
ians, he was aware of the fact that
some who professed to be Christi
ans were sponging off the good
ness of the others and standing
around talking and discussing but
not really contributing anything
to the welfare of the Christian
community by their work. Some
used the excuse that since the
world was soon to end and since
Jesus was soon to return, it wasn’t
necessary to do any more work,
but just to wait around. Lord help
us if when He comes again, He
catches us gazing into the skies or
biding our time. It was He who
said, “Lift up your eyes, and look
on the fields, that they are white
already unto harvest.” It was He
who told the parable of the three
stewards to whom a certain num
tier of talents (gold coins) were
given. Two of them invested their
money and put it to work and
made a profit upon the money giv
en them; but the third steward
had buried his talents and so all
he could offer was what was giv
en him. Therefore the master cast
him out because he was an un
profitable steward.
The Lord puts us here on earth
to bring profit to Him in the work
of building his Kingdom. We must
l>e about our work. And our work
must be of such an honourable na
ture that what we are doing is
contributing to the growth and
improvement of civilization. For
what enchances our way of life
helps build the Kingdom of God.
A salesman was calling on a
business one day and noticed that
the assistant manager was not
there. He didn’t know the man
had been fired a week or so previ
ously. He asked, “Where’s Sam?”
The boss answered, “Sam doesn't
work here anymore.” The sales
man asked, “Do you have someone
in mind for the vacancy?” The
answer came back like this,
“Shucks, when Sam left, he didn’t
leave no vacancy.” Someday the
Lord will call us before the judg
ment seat. Os course, our confes
sion of Jesus Christ will be judg
ed. But will that be all? John
the Baptist commanded, “Bring
forth fruits worthy of repentance.”
Yes, like in the parable of the
three stewards, we're going to have
to account also for the investment
that God has made in lives. We’re
going to be faced with the ques
tion, "Did you bring profit unto
the Kingdom of God through your
honest efforts in behalf of your
business or trade and behalf of
your church?”
Eabor nas been hallowed by God
in the life of Jesus Christ who
was a master craftsman as a car
penter and a master worker in the
business of carving out a worthy

Ground is being broken and
roads are being cleared for tin

contract to General Electric Cm

Supt. of School Dr. Claude Pur
