lit Onl Wed Sept Word For The Week NEWMARKET NOTES Whaf People Are Doing by Ruby REV BROOK ARGYIE Mount Albert Church of he The same question is still being asked Why The psalmist David phrased it like this Why do the heathen rage or lumiiHuousty assemble and the peo ples imagine a vain thing The kings of the earth sol themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed saying Let us break their bands asunder and cast their cords from us Or in modern terms why in every newscast do we hear of mobs raging and wrecking and chanting their slogans of defiance as they follow their leaders in a re jection of all standards of Christian conduct May I sug gest three Biblical answers to this question That wise man Solomon reminds us that Be cause sentence against an evil work is not executed speed ily therefore heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil Or again in modern terms If I can get away with it for now Im going to do it Which is a fact that all parents realize only too well Lest any one should blame God for encouraging defiance by delay ing judgement until eternity may I point out that this delay is for purposes of redemption that each offender might have opportunity to repent of his ways and seek pardon indeed if each act of sinful selfwill received an immediate instead of a suspended sentence the human race would long ago have become extinct as none would have survived to an age to perpetuate the species When we turn to that master practical theolog ian of the New Testament we find that Paul in a detailed passage in Romans argues that many of the outstanding gross sins the human race are themselves a Divine judgement on those who Did not like to retain God in their knowledge and therefore God gave them up His catalogue of sexual deviations and a sinful society is strikingly contemporary As The Eras Town Crier put it two weeks ago Drugtaking in itself is not a prob lem but merely the result of one Add etc after drug taking delete merely and explain that the basic problem is mans alienation from and abandon ment of God and you have Pauls thoughts exactly Now while these explain why man may con tinue on his defiant way and why such defiance may from time to time reach epidemic proportions tbey do not explain why such conduct starts in the first case After all God IS good why be selfwilled in the first case To this thought we have our third Biblical answer Because the carnal mind is enmity against God for it is not subject to the law of God Because fallen hum an nature is so spiritually warped that it automatically rebels against obedience to God and goes The Business and Professional Womens Club held their September meeting at the residence of Kay Macin tosh Park Avenue Monday night The

They up to illness all thought this word whom we would disassociate ourselves It is one thing to ask a question as David did It is another thing to answer it as we have attempted to do here It Is yet
