MORE FROM THE
SERMON
Florence Wedge tells a
story about an elderly
woman who came in to
church just as the ser-
mon was beginning. She
sat down in a front pew,
and began to assemble
her hearing aid which
she placed in her ear.
She listened for a lit-
tle while, then careful-
ly removed the hearing
aid and replaced it in
the container. Imagine
how the poor preacher
felt, for she had delib-
erately turned him off.
Once when I was a young
priest, a fellow said to
me after Mass, "About
your sermon. Fattier, you
had three good places to
quit before you did."
One day when Jesus was
traveling across the
Jordan, they brought to
him a man who was deaf
and had a speech impedi-
ment ( Mark. 7:31-37 ) .
Jesus put his finger in-
to the man's ear and
touched his toungue and
then said, "Ephaphatha"
an Aramic word that
means "Be opened." It is
through the Sunday ser-
mon that most Christians
have the truths of
Christ brought to them.
Perhaps at times we have
felt like the little old
lady and wanted to turn
the preacher off ( and
sometimes do ) . Yet .is
it always the preacher?
Do we go to church with
the right attitude, to
learn more about our
Christian Faith and to
draw closer to Jesus?
Further, are we always
applying the message to
someone else, or do we
go take it to heart our-
selves. We all have the
tendency to think that
the message applies to
Egbert or Citronela ra-
ther than to ourselves.
Rather we would do bet-
ter to find something in
the sermon which we can
work on this week to
make ourselves better
people. Remember a good
sermon is not one that
makes us leal good, but
one that helps us to be
good.
Rev. David Meurer
THE TOUCH OF
THE MASTER’S
HAND
'Twas battered and
scarred, and the auc-
tioneer
Thought it scarcely
worth his while
To waste much time on
the old violin,
But he held it up with a
smile:
"What am I bidden good
folks," he cried,
"Who'll start the bidden
for me?"
"A dollar, a dollar,”
then, "Two!" "Only
two?"
Two dollars and who'll
make it three?
Three dollars, once;
Three dollars, twice;
Going for three----"
But no,
From the room far back,
a gray-haired man
Came forward and picked
up the bow;
Then wiping the dust
from the old violin,
And tightened the loose
strings,
He played a melody pure
and sweet
'm tm
As a caroling
sings.
ange L
and
The music ceased,
the auctioneer,
With a voice that w?js
quiet and low,
Said, "What am I bid for
the old violin,"
And he held it up with
the bow.
"A thousand dollars and
who'll make it two?
Two thousand; and who'll
make it three?
Three thousand, once;
three thousand, twice;
And going and gone,"
said he.
The people cheered, but
some of them cried,
"We do not quite under-
stand
What changed it's
worth." Swift came thei
reply:
"The touch of the Mas-‘
ter's hand.”
And many a man with life
out of tune,
And battered the scarred
with sin,
Is auctioned cheap to
the thoughtless crowd, :
Much like the old vio-
lin .
A mess of pottage, a
glass of wine;
A game---and he travels
on.
He is "going” once, and
"going” twice.
He's going and almost
gone.
But the master comes,
and the foolish crowd
Never can quite under-
stand
The worth of a soul and
the change that's
wrought
By the touch of the
Master's hand.

CHAMBER
NOTES
Heard from the son away
at school the other
evening — he was hungry
for "no-bake cookies" -I
suggested he make him-
self some - - "Cost too
much, Mom." I replied,
"It doesn't cost that
much to make no-bake
cookies” - he said "It
does when there's 15
other guys in the
dorm!!" Got a point.
Well, that may hold
true to this Chamber's
work lately - doesn't
look like we're doing
much - but consider -
gearing up advertising
for Harper Trades Day,
getting ready to go to
the County Fair and
trying to get a news-
letter out, plus answer
calls and questions
about Harper from Raz
Sale to who has earth
worms, hunters wanting
leases and looking for
places to rent.
I did not hear from the
office reguarding the
booth at the fair, so
again, I ask you to
consider volunteering
sometime to sit with the
booth and by next week
I'll have some answers
to our questions!
Until Next Week,

ITS A FACT/
Nine out of ten Americans
are affected by gum disease,
and most may not know they
have it. There are several
types of gum disease the most
common of which are gingivitis
and periodontitis.
Gingivitis is a superficial
inflamation of gum tissue and
is common to all ages, even
school aged children. It can
lead to periodontitis, a later
stage of gum disease which is
the major cause of tooth loss
in adults. Gum disease is
most common in adults affect-
ing at least 75% of the popula-
tion over the age of 35.
Gum disease develops when
plaque, a harmful bacteria,
builds up where teeth and
gums meet. Because it’s hard
to see, until recently it’s been
hard to detect.
Before its damage is done,
gum disease may now be de-
tected by a simple, inexpen-
sive method of diagnosis de-
veloped by the Eastman Dental
Center in Rochester, N.Y. Re-
cently introduced to dentigts
by Johnson & Johnson Prod-
ucts, Inc., the Eastman Inter-
dental Bleeding Index uses
Stim-U-Dent Interdental
cleaners. Researchers at Co-
lumbia University’s Center
for Clinical Research found
that Stim-U-Dent can also be
an effective treatment tool.
During your next dental
check-up you may want to ask
about periodontal disease.
You could end up with some-
thing to smile about!
