According To
The Scriptures
Rev. Jamen L. Castlebfrry
Recently our Young People's
leader, my wife, asked me to
deliver a sermonette to our
young people's group which
meets every Tuesday night at
the United Pentecostal Church
located on the Austin highway-
just outside the Bastrop city
limits. In searching the scrip-
tures I found that the subject
which fell my lot is of such in-
terest that to keep these find-
ings to myself would be like
putting a lighted candle "under
a bushel". May the Lord bless
you while reading the following
account:
WHY WERE THE COMMAND-
MENTS GIVEN IN THE
FIRST PLACE?
Genesis 4: 3-5 of the Holy bi-
ble records an account of a burnt
offering as is common in the
Old Testament. Again wo take
note of Noah sacrificing unto
God in the eighth chapter of
Genesis, verses twenty and twen-
ty-one. The question may well
be asked, "How did these people
know to sacrifice animals unto
God not having a Bible to go
by?" In order to answer this
question we will have to read the
following scriptures:
Deuteronomy 6 6-7, "And
these words, which I command
thee this day, shall be in thine
heart: And thou shalt teach
them deligently unto thy chil-
dren, and shalt talk of them
when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the
way, and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up."
Deuteronomy 11: 18-19, "There
fore shall ye lay up these my
words in your heart and in your
soul, and bind them for a sign
upon your hand, that they may
be as frontlets between your
eyes. And ye shall teach them
your children, speaking of them
when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the
way, when thou liest down and
when thou risest up."
Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ
the same yesterday, and today,
and forever.
Ecclesiastes 1:9, "The thing
that hath been, it is that which
shall be; and that which is done
is that which shall be done:
and there is no new thiri
the sun." *
In answering the
"How did these
People
to sacrifce animals Unt(1
not having a Bible to
the following fact is dig
God expected one gener
pass the word on to th I
generation and so anJ
We as human beings all

ness. It is for that r.'as^l
God gave us commanding
the first place and that in
Ing. Please note Exodus J

"Get what you can. and what you get hold;
'Tis the stone that will turn all your lead into gold."
"Poor Richard's Almanac," 1757
o said the Father of American Thrift almost 1 o
eat s ago. And his sound advice rings true toda\.
Benjamin Franklin, the 15th child of a poor soap
and candlemaker, was born 250 years ago on Jan-
uary 17. Besides helping to formulate the Amen, m
system of government, Franklin organized the tii -'
volunteer tire company, served as the firsr 1'" r-
masrer (ieneral, was instrumental in founding <<ur
first hospital. He invented the Franklin stove, the
rocking chair, and w as the first to capture electrit it v
from the sky. All of us owe a lot to Franklin's in-
genuity and his public service can profit a i t
from his practical teachings and advice.
Over 4Q million Americans just like you are put
ting Franklin's advice on thrift into practice by
investing regularly in interest-earning U.S. Scries
E Savings Bonds. Why don't you join them? Just
tell your pay office how much you want to put aside
each payday. Automatically this money wi II go
into Savings Bonds that will earn you an average
3% interest per year, compounded semiannually,
when held to maturity. The chart on the left gives
you some idea how fast your savings will grow.
For as Ben Franklin said,
age and want save while you may.
No morning sun lasts a whole day."
"The Way to Wealth," 1760
So start your Bond-buying program today—on the
convenient Payroll Savings Plan where you work,
or by the regular purchase of Bonds where you bank.
For the big things in your life,
be ready with U. S. Savings Bond;
