THURSDAY. MAY 27, 1943
ASKOV
Last P.-T. A. Meeting.
At the Parent-Teacher Association
meeting in the school auditorium last
Thursday evening the audience was
given an over-all picture of the work
done during the current year. The
grade teachers had exhibits neatly
arranged on tables; the chemistry
class gave a fine demonstration of
what can be done with a little of this
and a little of that when properly
mixed; the exhibition of physical
training was equally interesting, same
being in harmony with the program
of physical fitness as outlined by the
State Department of Education and
the U. S. Office of Education.
The evening started with a basket
ball game between two high school
girls’ teams. Routine business mat
ters were taken care of, final result
of the annual election being as fol
lows: Mrs. J. Albert Johnson, presi
dent; Miss Merle McCutchan, secre
tary: Manford Nelson, treasurer. The
evening terminated with social visit
ing and refreshments.

■ Church and Home
By REV. M. MIKKELSEN
After Confirmation.
‘•Be thou faithful unto death, and
I will give thee the crown of life.”
—(Rev. 2:10).
My faith in Jesus Christ is a very
personal matter. No one can believe
for me. neither can any one be a
Christian in my stead. It is possible
in so many other ways for others
to help and serve as proxies, in Chris
tianity, however, this is definitely
excluded. Faith is like a tool, valu
able when used, worthless if left idle
and unused.
Lessons learned in the classroom
may teach us clearly enough that
Christ is the Way: God’s way to man,
and man's way to God. But unless
these lessons are applied in a prac
tical way and made use of from day
to day they may not mean so very
much to us.
Christianity must be practiced in
order to become practical. By prac
tical Christianity is meant that we
are in constant contact with God, in
constant communication, receiving
answers to our questions, advised
about our way in a dark world, being
guided by His Spirit into new and
rich and joyous experiences.
We are told about the Samaritan
(Luke 10) that when he saw the
man who had fallen among robbers
he was moved with compassion. We
are furthermore informed (Matth.
9:36 is one example) that Jesus,
when He saw the multitudes, was
moved with compassion. There would
be no sense in claiming identity be
tween the two. we know that they
were different except on this partic
ular attitude: They were moved with
compassion.
Such similarity exists between
man and God when love is the urge
that compels us to do things for oth
ers which might endanger our own
safety, or at least interfere, some
times rather inconveniently, with our
conventional plans. But such is
practical Christianity. It is a “love
that wilt not let me go.” It is needed
in the world today more desperately
than anything else.
The Christian law of life is: Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, soul, strength and mind,
and thy neighbor as thyself.
To follow that simple rule is to
make good use of the faith we claim
to possess.
