Refuse to recognize need
"The central neurosis of our
time is emptiness," said Dr. C.
G. Jung. That this is a 'fact is all
too evident. However, it is also a
situation that we do not frankly
face. We refuse to candidly
recognize our need. Despite all
the affluence of our God blessed
land we experience a sense of
emptiness that .we ,can't shake
off. All the material gains of the
hard worker leaves him empty.
All the idleness and negative
protests of the drifter is even less
satisfying. The experience of
man is that material abundance
or .lack, preoccupation or
idleness, responsibility or no
responsibility has no bearing on
this heart need at all.
Scripture indicates the cause
of the emptiness is spiritual. Man
was made for personal
fellowship with his Maker. They
are made " to personally
commune with him. Loneliness
and emptiness exist as gnawing
aches where that personal
relationship does not exist. In
Matthew 4:4 we find this needed
reminder: "Man shall not live by
bread alpine,, but by every word
that proceeds from the mouth of
God ." (R. S. V.) Elsewhere
Scripture uses the imagery of
thirst and hunger to get this idea
across. In the barren wilderness
or desert of Palestine the
immediate satisfaction of thirst
and hunger was a. life or death
issueafi'd4o it speaks of a very
strong desire. In Psalm 42:1-2
we read: "As the hart (deer)
longs for flowing streams, so
longs my soul for You, 0 God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the
living God..." (R.S.V.)
It is one thing to analyte a
problem but quite another thing
to prescribe an adequate answer
or cure. How can this deep
desire for personal fellowship or
communion with God be
satisfied or fulfilled? The Bible
teaches that we can only rightly
approach God through the Lord
Jests Christ. Christ Himself said:
"I am the way, I am the truth, I

Heeding Bettet..Than Speeding for Label Reading
Have you joined America's popular new educational trend...
speed reading?
Whether or not you decide to increase your ability to read fast,
keep in mind there are times when reading accurately is more im-
portant than reading speedily.
One such time is when you
read the label on a. medicine con-
tainer, says the Council on Eanl-
ily health. Taking or giving
medicine is so important to the
health and safety of you and
your filmily that you should un-
derstand the directions you are
reading, and then double check
yourself.
If you want to measure how
well you understand what you
real, test yourself by reading a
medicine label in your home, says
the Council, a non-profit organi-
zation sponsored as a public serv-
ice by leading mernbe,rs of the
drug industry.
,I)id you note the amount of
medicine to be taken? Does the
dosage vary for adults, and
am the life; no one goes to the',, children? How often should the
medicine be taken?
If a liquid, should you shake
the container well before pour-
ing? Is it for external or internal
use?
Does the label state the pur-
pose of the medicine? �«
Are there instructions for,
proper storage ... such -as "Keep
in a cool place." Should you take
the medicine before or after
eating?
Are there cautions as to cer-
tain activities that should be
curtailed or discontinubd while
Father except by Me" (Good
News for Modern Man
translation) (John 14:6). That
means we can only approach
God because of the sacrifice
Jesus made on the Cross for our
sins, and as well because of His
constant pleading now in Heaven
for us. Therefore lasting our
satisfaction at the deepest level
is only ours when we experience
a personal relationship with God
through the Lord Jesus Christ..
Augustine wrote: "Our hearts
are restless until they find rest in
• You" (i.e. God). With unfulfilled
longings for God our hearts are
not at ease, but they can be. By
confession of sin and faith in the
Lord Jesus .this satisfying
experience of God's fellowship
can be ours.

thanksgiving for her topic.
Beginning with the story of the
10 lepers Who were healed, and
pointing out that` only one came
back to thank Jesus, she
reminded the ladies of the many
blessingsin every day life which
are taken for granted.
When we do something for
others we love to hear it was
appreciated, she said, let so
often we forget to thank God
for all the gifts He supplies to us.
Mrs. Hewlett was thanked by
Mrs. A. H. Erskine.
A social half hour was
enjoyed and provided an
opportunity to welcome the
