g ™ OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, July 29, 198) Thomas, the Realist Christ has told His disciples that He is the way to God. Before His death He says He is going ao prepare a place for them, and that they know the way to His destination. Thomas complains that he has no idea where Christ is going, so how should he know the way?--John 14:3-6. out and tell their in Christ's resurrection After Christ's resurrection He ap- pears before the disciples, but Thomas is not present.

OLDEN TEXT--John 20.29 BIBLE LESSON Thomas Victor Over Cynicism By N. SPEER JONES The reference from Acts in this lesson can be dismissed briefly, as it tells us only one thing about Thomas--that the former doubter is continuing his discipleship with full fervor--a fact which must surely be con- cluded from the episode in John 20. translated, in today's terminol- Everything else we know of ogy, "How should WE know?"

When the time comes, all Christ's disciples including! However, as is often the case with such cynics, Thomas, when once his wellspring of love and faith has been reached, drops all his barriers and breaks forth with an unsurpassed expression of his steadfast faith--"My Lord and my God." According to tradition, Thomas' remaining years were devoted to successful mission work in the Far East, perhaps in India. Godly Person's Fruitful Living '¥y R. BARCLAY WARREN The first Psalm sets forth two kinds of people: the happy and the ungodly. There are some things the happy man doesn't do. He doesn't walk in the counsel of the ungodly, stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of the scornful. Of course, when one begins walking in the advice of those who leave God out of their life, he doesn't foresee the pos- sibility of ultimately joining the scorners. Sin is deceiving. It lures one on. "But if a man does not in- dulge in the popular sins of the day, what pleasure can he have?" the worldling asks. The answer is, "His delight is in the law of the Lord: and in his law| and! night." This comes about hy al doth he meditate day change in his nature; a change Why do so many continue to follow Satan, their greatest enemy? This is the harder tol understand when we view God's great love for us, as manifest in the death of His Son for us. Let us turn in faith to Jesus Christ our risen and ascended Lord. Then happiness will be our lot in this world and in the next.
