Of Blindness Urges Safe Toys
THE BIBLE
BY DAVID MASSEY
toMntthew 20:22, in ana-
J
wer to a mother's requett for
her two sona, Jesus tells her,
"You know not what you aik. "
She was not asking In harmony
with what Christ had taught and
would teach in the future. I
• John 5:14 gives us a lesson in
| prayer when John says, "If we
Jt ask anything according to his ;
if will, he heareth us. " Prayer
x is Important in our lives. |
| Through it we ask God to cure
our illness, protect the loved
ones away from us, and keep
ns from temptations. This of
course is what God meant for
us to do but we must be certain
j that we ask correctly for some- j
J times "WE KNOW NOT WHAT
WE ASK."
There are those today who
‘ * pray as Christ told his disciples,
"Thy kingdom Come." The
< kingdom came on the day of
^Pentecost when the church of
{the Lord was established. We
j can no longer pray this for the
i kingdom has come, to Matt.
|l6»I8 Jesus said, "I will build
|zny church." to Acts 2 the
| church was established and in
(atthew 26:29 he speaks of the
r Supper and drinking it
in his Father's kingdom,
fe have communion with the
! in the church.
Some ask for the BAPTISM
THE HOLY SPIRrr. ft was
•romlsed a n d given to the
ipostlas for they had a special
i and needed tha help of
sd to folfill It. Today wa
:God's written word to
telp us fulfill our mission. This
not to say that the Holy
Spirit does not guide our lives
>ut ha does it through the
erd. Eph. lit tel
' v-
us there is ONE BAPTISM. This
Is the water baptism spoken of
in John 3 and Acts 8. Mark
16:15-16 and I Peter 3:21 both
point out the importance of It.
Some ask tifc Lord to be
forgiven of their sins but not
according to the g o s p e 1 but
according to the way they think
it ought to be done. John 4:24,
"God is a spirit and those who
worship him must worship Him
In spirit and TRUTH. "
Not only must we serve
Him with the spirit of a child
of God but in the truth of the
pattern He has set forth.
Some ask for the RAPT EM
OF FIRE, This is asked for
thinking it 1 s the tongues of
fire of punishment to those who
obey not the gospel. Matt.
25:46 spealu of die tame kind
of people going into eternal
punishment. We cannot aik
the Lord to bless us in our sin-
ful ways. .That is the reason
Jesus gave himself on the cross,
to save man from his sinful
ways.
Therq is one Baptism we
can a a k. for and receive be-
cause the Bible tells in we can.
That is die BAPTEM FOR THE
REMISSION OF SINS. Acta
22:16 tells us that when Paul
was bajxiied he"washed away
hit sins." Galatians 3:27 tells
us that when "you were bap-
tised into Christ then you put
on Christ."
Wr invite you to attend
the services of die Birch and
Emerald Church o f Christ to
tee what the Bible fetches
about die subject of prayer and
die things that can be gataerl
by It.

'Tis the season to be (a)
Jolly (b) Injured.
No one woulfl wittingly
make the second choice, yat
the Texas Society for the Pre-
vention of Blindness re ports
that potendally dangerous toys
and Christmas tree hazards will
cause hundreds of Texas child-
ren to suffer nee die ss eye
injuries during the coming
holiday season. The Society
urges all parents to insure the
right choice by "making their
list and checking it twice" —
and three times if necessary,
to make certain the toys they
buy are not potential eye
hazards.
Richard E. White, Presi-
dent of the Texas Society,
warns parents that 17 percent
of the more serious injuries to
children's eyes are caused by
missile-type toys such aj pel-
let guns, dart guns, air guns ,
bean shooters and toys with
rubber bands that release pro-
jectiles, such as sling shots.
Chemistry sets w| th ingre dients
which may cause bums or ex -
plosions should be considered
as gifts only for those young-
sters with the experience to use
them knowle dge ably and
prudently.
"Parents should also be
alerted against buying
seemingly harmless toys having
protruding points, sharp edges,
detachable parts or those made
with flammable materials or
plastic materials that shatter, "
said Mr. White.
With reference to Christ-
mas tree hazards, the Society
recommends that:
* Christmas trees which
are not chemically fireproofed
sbduld be kept In water to pre -
vent drying and causing fire
hazards.
* Christmas trees should
be kapt away from heated
radiatois and fireplaces.
* All electrical wiring,
including that for tree lights,
should be double -checked for
shorts that can cause sparks and
flames.
* All tree decorations
should be unbreakable and
non-flammable.
The Texas Society is an
affiliate of the National
Society few the Prevention of
Blindness. The National
Society, founded in 1908, is
the oldest voluntary health
agency nationally engaged in
the prevention of blindness
through a comprehensive pro-
gram of community services,
public and professional edu-
cation and research.

they ese saying. " ft toils, he
* a y |, whaa it become* more
interested in numerical saccea
aad organisation than In
eopie.
If you wer* to Sit down be
side Vic la aad arouadhhj
neighborhood in London, you
might wind up la a gutter
listening to him talk to a young
rough armed with a "flick”
kails or at th* foot of a
prostitute't bad listening to him
tell her abote Christ. "Th*
only ways church can ful fill
it** ministry," hs says, "la to
rs 1 ats to those who art dis-
enchanted with it, those who
wouldn't com* to It on » bet. "
H* added: "I preach aad
i I believe in preaching, but
sometimes (have to give up
preaching and listen. Half of
my work seems to be sitting wld
| kids and listening — and pre
j paring myself to give answen
I to tbe questions they are asking
' Too mtov minis ten are pre
pared to answer without
listening."
Vic feels at home with the
unfortunates of London's Soho
District -- because be was one.
"I love those people and I
beliave I understand t h t m , "
he say* with a faraway look that
seems to pierce the barrier of
tlm* into another era of house
breaking, boo*, fights with
knives and broken beer bottles,
jail and a loveless orphanhood.
As pastor of a 50-member
church In the W and*worth area1
of downtown London, the
4
muscular, articulate young
minister takes particular de-
light in working with young -
sters who might never be as
fortunate as he was.
Jkifl toOmbse three
times the membership of h i «
church, and the roughneck
group alone numbers about 60.
Some of the kids belong to
organized youth group*. The
roughnecks are another matter.
"Ihang loose with teofn, "
he chuckles, "and try to reach
them in any mannerthat
items most effective. " They
"jolly well know" they can't
"con" him and they respect
ton to ante.
*1 Mver my w> attract tea

Vic 11 a very convincing
young maa — whether he's
talking to a sopistlc ated group
at the 15,000-member First
Beptiit Church of Dallas or to
a gang leader bent on his
annihilation.
HU closest call came cere
after he'd helped a 17-year-
old girl break bee of a Ufa of
