throw mud youll lose ground By REV BOB BODEN Church of the Nazarene doubt very much if there is any one reading this today who has not either taken part in gossip or suffered the abuse of gossip It seems we live in day when we cannot accept things at face value Instead we spend hours of our valuable time reading notices or looking for areas where We can prove our sick feelings about someone are really valid When President Carter eased the judgement on exltprcsident Nixon in the United States read many articles all of them different that attributed various reasons for Carter do ing what he did NO one would actually say that after much soulsearching and honest evaluation of the facts at hand he did what he thought was right But that is general lets get little more per sonal All of us Im sure have suf fered from gossip especially if you have tried to do something for others So what are we to do about these situations FIRST Dont be the one to make others suffer Dont gossip yourself In hurtin others you hurt yourse Some statements in which we give the im pression that something is wrong is as bad as saying the whole thing Hes 0K BUT or wish could tell you what heard about him but cant or Ill tell you but lease dont tell anyone ese Thats the best way to spread stories Or when person is praised our answer is Yeah well guess hes 0K SECOND When you hear things about person you honestly do not have to repeat them Let them die If more of us did this we would probably have more friends THIRD Look at your friends Are your friends friends because you share the same bitter attitudes about the same people If this is true you have very shaky friendship and pro bany very few friends get the feeling when some one is slandering someone else that they would do the same to anyone including me if werent there There is one person met while ago and cannot REV BOB BODEN remember one good thing she had said about anyone or any situation Now Im sure there were things she said but lost them in the garbage Much of our gossip comes from the very wrong attitude that the more we knock other people down the more we elevate ourselves Nothing could be further from the truth When you throw mud you lose ground How should we react to gossip If you feel things are serious enough then to be honest with yourself and the offending per son you should at least discuss the situation with the person in volved face to face You should not forget your own weaknesses as you deal with others Too ofen good friendships are broken up by people who are outside the friendship therefore mind your own business Do your best to make the siutation better not worse Never withdraw your friend ship from the person hurt If he ever needed you now is the time What if the situation were reversed Would you not wish for friend who had faith in you until all the facts were in Would you think for few minutes about today Did you try to devalue somebody today Did you gossip The best thing to do but the hardest is apologize But please do it It saves so much hurt Do unto others as you woulc have them do unto you Christian businessmen hear farmers message Murray Paris of RR Brad ford was guest speaker this week at the Barrie Christian Businessmens Committees annual farmers night Faris whose West Gwillini bury Township farm has been occupied by his family since 1819 told an audience of about

that is the appeal of trust from His child Now trust is word that is different from faith and belief because it involves giving something into anothers hands for safe keeping When we trust God we give Him something to look ater for us The word of G0 ells us that he trusts in the Lord will never be ashamed dismi He is so worthy of our vote of confidence Someone said You can trust the Man who loved you enough to die for you What is our need Let us trust Him to supp it whether it is the need of employment or need of forgiveness of guidance Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto
