Warren,, B.A., FLO* Why Men., Oppose. Jesus. Ma* g:18.28 Memory Selection: Blessed ie he, whosoever shall not be of. tended in ine. Matthew 11:6. When a person begins grit!. cizing his fellows, I'm interested; not so much in his criticism, but in what's wrong with him, A man whom, I had just met started criticizing the church. It wasn't what it used to be, Finally his wife turned to him and said, 4'Why 'don't you 'do' what you know should be done and set the example?" He was silent. The critic usually has some basic dissatisfaction within him- self which 'he doesn't want to face, So he takes it out on other people HaVing developed an antipathy toward an individual or group he is ready to criticize them no matter what they do. If they are reserved in their ; approach to him he labels them 'as proud and unfriendly. If they appear warm towards.him,; they are putting it on just to curry favor.. So whatever they do, it is wrong. The critic Is unhappy: If ,someone tries to correct him, he refuses to see his error He fancies, himself to be a martyr. There are none so blind as those who will not see. The Pharisees didn't like Jesus becatise He 'taught and lived a higher way of life than they were liVing or wanted to He showed up their sin and they didn't like it, They majored in externals and rituals. Jesus em- phasized 'the 'need of a pure heart. The Pharisees found fault because the disciples of Jesus didn't fast as often as they did. They had also eaten some ker- nels of grain as they passed through the. 41eldeon the Sab- bath, In, neither case,,had, they transgressed' 'the 'law, Belt the. Jews had .added, many of their notions to the law as given 'by Moses, thereby ;often= .obscuring its real purpose and meaning. They also found fault ,because Jesus healed on the Sabbetht In how much of their criti- cism were they really sineere They were blind leaders of the .blind,.Saul,.the Pharisee -.WAS AAP , of the most bitter. But When he met Jesus and yielded his heart to Him he ;was different. He be- came an apostle of the message of God's love for sinful man and His power to redeem through Jesus Christ. 9.

At this time of year, when poets in northern latitudes Paint the r verses to resemble the trees, I like to recall the child. hood adventures associated with autumn. My grandmother had a share in many; indeed, s tie frequently made them possible, Our IVIohewk Yalley was 0 full regalia during Octeber, apd even into November, told my- self privately thet the pageantry around us was provjded by In- dian braves wnl, speaking out of the past, daub' d the ti'ee§ with; left-over war paint.

And althongh I twas noreinally "chief cook and bottlef. washer", I must ,admit that all the wash- ing—dishes, lutentils, my 'hands and face—was done by Grandma after 'the young guests had 'cle- parted. She kept a practieed es c on the cooking, too. The roasting was accomplisli ed in- a hole under the crab- appleitree near our garden. Pre- paration of the raw material— corn, if available, and always' the reliable potato--:-Wae a tedi- ous process, and somehow the finished product never -proved very satisfaCtOry, althoUgh ' no feaster dared: admit it, „Between .charring, unavoidable sprink- lings of topsoil, and a general unclerdoneness, the meal that 'emerged from the embers could hardly substitute for a good sup- per served on our red kitchen tablecloth. But the roast was a rite that went with the fall. Boys and girls in the neighborhood -took turns sponsoring it, with the result that everybody was guaranteed one poor meal a week during the epen season! Autumnal activities also in- cluded expeditions for hickory nuts. There was. a fine grove of trees a mile from our honse, and Grandma often joined Abe party of youngsters that besieged it. We tossed stout sticks aloft to dislodge the burrs Which' sha put into' the buriap,bag we al- ways hoped and' Tiber ' did. The spoils were evenl,vc divided among the gatherer6, and stored at hoin,e, for, future, • reference. More accessible were the : acorns and chestnuts. These homely fruits of the fall served 7-in various ways: they could be strung as Indian beads, used as slingshot ammunition, or deploy- ed around the house as decora- tions. They were, however, con. sidered inedible, a quality that counted against them. Gathering these lesser nuts did not require an extended qtiest, for practically everyone had ac- cess to their trees and our poc- kets were always well-stocked. A restilt was that the nuts had no value in a boy's inventory of assets; he Couldn't swap them unless a horse Chestnut's siZe and .Untistvilly rich malingany color And high polish proved ir- resistible to Another 'boarder suppose- that this was our first introduction to the law ot supply, and demand, but we were not economists la those days, .writes John Cooley in The Christian ;Science Monitor, Grandma disliked this applica, tion.

Perhaps that is why the Hunga- rien ,authorities did not take much -notice when Ferenc began Kactisingt,,pole, vaulting again "'just to keep in form." For months he trained, always increasing the height a little, un- til he was almost his old self again. Recently Ferenc drifted off one night and when the Hundarians discovered why he had bbeen so assiduously practising pole vault7, ing it was too late to do any- thing about it. Artful Ferenc had pole vaulted over dangerous minefields and barbed wire fences in order to escape from behind the Iron Curtain!

"Yours sir, in the fourth row," He entered the amount in his fawn record book, as; a sigh blew across the gallery. This first lot had gone to John aum-' mers, an agent who was buying for an American collector. The price: $182,000, 'lanet's "Promenade" was next. Within 100 seconds, with a final wave of a catalogue, it went to New York are dealer Georges Keller for £89,000 ($249,200).
