“HURRY” In this whirlwind of time everything is done in a hurry. Wp get out in a hurry to get our chores done. Those who have jobs are off to their jobs in a confused rush to get produc- tin done. It seems to have gone farther than just jobs. When we go to visit a sick friend or a shut-in, W'o seem to be in too big a hurry to make them enjoy it. They are made to feel like wc- came because its duty and not because we want to bring m a little cheer and some of the outside world, from which they are shut in We don’t take time to visit our neighbrs for a friendly chat any more, and when we go to Sunday School and church, it’s hurry to get through. We hear such remarks as “I’ve got to get back: I’m looking for company,” or “we are going some place,” or “I didn't clean up; I’ll have to get back and do that”: even “I’m hungry—wish they would hur¬ ry.” We don’t take time to sing enough, or to go into the lesson discussions as we should; don’t take time to discuss the daily Bible readings, 1 hereby helping one another; never ask any question if any one knows of anybody sock in the community or in need and distress, and nev¬ er appoint a committee (that shouldn’t be necessary, but is) to visit around and try to interest folks in the Lord’s work. Every¬ body is too busy. Did Jesus ever hurry? No. He always had time to do good. He came to seek and to save that which was lost, but if He were to appear now, I’m afraid He would have to hurry to get around to all that need Him. Even on the night He was be¬ trayed He never hurried; He calmly sat down, blessed and break the bread and did eat; He also took time to wash feet, thereby leaving us an example of humbliness, but do we heed that example? We don’t take time; we don’t wait upon the Lord. “For all seek their own not the things which are Jesus Christs’.”—Phil. 2:21. We are not watchful enough. Jesus said, “Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.”—Rev. 3:2. We should right about and face toward hos¬ pitality to all; good for evil; helping hand to those in need; a word of cheer to the hearted; a friendly greeting everybody. Our precious boys not fighting for a world of red, malice, sin, strife, and selfishness, but pure mocracy. So, let’s clean up the home front while they fighting and dying on the tlefronts. Let’s try to have cleaner, friendlier, better for them to come back to for the next generation to in. —Mrs. Will Bradford.
