The New Life

 THE NEW LIFE

Life's crisis has been passed,
And I have come at last
Into the Promised Land of Peace and Rest;
The crisis hour is o'er
And now forevermore
I'm dwelling in God's blessing and God's best.

It came, I know not how,
But this I know, that now
My life has found a new and nobler plane;
Something has passed away,
Something has come to stay,
And I can never be the same again.

The change is not in me,
Rather, it seems that He
Has come Himself to live His life in mine;
And as I stepped aside
And took Him to abide,
He came and filled me with His life divine.

I came to Jordan's flood,
And as with Him I stood,
The Heavenly Dove upon my spirit came;
Just how I cannot tell,
But this I know full well
That life henceforth can never mean the same.

And yet it brings no strain,
But hand, and heart, and brain
Move on with all the old simplicity;
I do not have to try
For it is no more I
But Christ who thinks, and lives, and moves in me.

The testing hours have come,
In flesh, and heart, and home,
But He was near my every load to share.
New tasks have called me on,
New victories have been won,
But through the cloud and sunshine He was there.

No more I doubt or fear,
The way shines bright and clear,
And One who ne'er can fail is leading on;
He will not let me stray
But lead me all the way
Until the fight is fought, the crown is won.

Let's Be Neighborly

 Let's Be Neighborly.

Let's be neighborly once more,
Like as we used to be;
Going visiting friendly like,
Just you and me.

Let's be neighborly, once more
Thinking each other's thoughts,
Telling each other our troubles,
And helping each other lots.

Let's be neighborly once more,
Old-fashioned rather than new,
Telling the good and forgetting the bad
There is in both me and you.

Let's be neighborly once more
And shake hands once in a while,
And if our hands won't reach so far
Let's make believe and smile.

Let's be neighborly once more
And think of each other again;
And hearing good news of each other,
Let's say it our loud-
"Amen!"

Sermons We See

 Sermons We See
by Edgar A. Guest

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one
any day,
I'd rather one should walk with me
than merely show the way.
The eye's a better pupil and more will-
ing than the ear;
Fine counsel is confusing, but ex-
ample's always clear;
And the best of all the preachers are
the men who live their creeds,
For to see the good in action is what
everybody needs.
I can soon learn how to do it if you'll
let me see it done.
I can watch your hands in action, but
your tongue too fast may run.
And the lectures you deliver may be
very wise and true;
But I'd rather get my lesson by oberv-
ving what you do.
For I may misunderstand you and the
high advice you give,
But there's no misunderstanding how
you act and how you live.

       The Gospel of Luke Symbol, a bull. Luke the Evangelist, the author of the third gospel account (and the Acts of the Apostles), is symbolized by a winged ox or bull – a figure of sacrifice, service and strength. Luke's account begins with the duties of Zacharias in the temple; it represents Jesus' sacrifice in His Passion and Crucifixion, as well as Christ being High priest (this also represents Mary's obedience). The ox signifies that Christians should be prepared to sacrifice themselves in following Christ.

Autumn's Entry...

 Autumn's Entry
By Helen Felder

       Last night summer fled; and this morning, long before I thought of crawling out, Autumn danced out upon the treetops and blew her breath over the land. The sky responded with the bluest of blues; a maple near my window blushed. I was coaxed out of bed to get a glimpse of lofty city spires striving to pierce the blue.
       Autumn was such a jolly companion. She ran before me with her tongue in her cheek - such a playful rogue! Perhaps I was especially in her favor as I sauntered down the elm-bordered streets - perhaps, she was not even aware of me. At any rate I escaped the snobbery of her hand-maidens. True, they whispered to themselves as I passed - but all things whisper.
       At each step I crushed under foot a few faintly-struggling little autumnal people. It was probably better for them to die quickly than to linger as outcasts beyond the pale of Autumn's favor. In their youthful beauty Dame Nature had been delighted to consider them her daughters; but when they grew old and shrivelled she disowned them. She ordered Autumn to drop them from her calling list.
       I walked up the street and sang blithely. Why did I sing? I suppose that, womanlike, I sympathized with Autumn. 

God's Native People Need Our Help!

Blanket design by Lehi ThunderVoice Eagle.

     "For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat; for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall..." Isaiah 25:4

       Blankets can be just one bridge to give back to hurting Native communities. For every blanket purchased from The Heritage Collection, a second blanket is donated to Native NGOs serving indigenous people. Also the box provides a giving opportunity to send badly needed supplies to the Navajo Nation suffering through the COVID 19 Crisis.
