Rose Hill Acres residents can
expect an improvement in the
street system next month.
Work on the three outlets to
Highway 69 is scheduled to
begin in sometime in August.
According to Mayor David
Littleton, the main arteries
from the three divisions will be
hardtopped, weather permit-
ting. A contract for the work
has been negotiated between
Commissioner J.D. Brown and
the city; and upgrading on
other streets within the city
limits is expected to follow
when bonds owned by the
township mature. Meanwhile
they will be kept in temporary
repairs when necessary, Mayor
Littleton said. Any needed
repairs (pot holes, etc.) that
present hazards to traveling
should be reported to his office.
Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Cheatham
and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Green
and daughter, Lydia Ann, at-
tended a family gathering in
Sweeney last week.
The outdoor barbarque was
hosted by Keith Boazman and
Lila and Lloyd Cooper com-
memorating the 40th wedding
anniversary of their parents,
Don and Pearl Boazman of
Sweeney.

Randy and Sheli Richardson
are the parents of a daughter
born July 26. Stormi Nicole
»Richardson arrived at 7:44 a.m.
at St. Elizabeth Hospital. She
weighed 6 lbs. 4 oz.
Grandparents are A.D. and
Ann Golden of Lumberton; and
Virgil and Betty Richardson of
Beaumont.
A motor trip to visit with
family members and a sightsee-
ing tour in Austin was both
pleasure and educational for a
South county couple.
Curtis and Janice May of
Rolling Hills were house guests
last week of son Mark Smith
and wife Kim and little grand-
son, Logan Smith.
Sightseeing included an ex-
cursion to Mount Bonnell at
night.
“Mounty Bonnell rises to 776
ft. and a view of Austin from
that height at night is really
beautiful," Mrs. May said, “and
we ended the excursion eating
frozen yogurt.”
On the educational side, the
Mays were special visitors to
the Public School Services
Foundation where Mark works.
“We learned how books are
made, the cutting, printing,
and binding and the machinery
used in doing so. We stopped
by the Mansfield Dam on the
Colorado River where the Hy-
dro Electric Co. furnishes
electricity in Austin.”
On returning home, the Mays
brought along Kim and Logan
as house guests for a few days.
While here they visited rela-
tives in Nederland, and Logan
became re-acquainted with his
great-grandmother, Ruby
McCormick, and great-uncle
Paul Westbrook.
The twosome returned home
Saturday in a newly purchased
auto.

That popular vegetable, the
onion, has a new wrinkle, or I
should say an addition to its
many-layered uses.

Taken for granted in most
households ( a cook would not
be eaught dead without a few
around), the onion has been
grown in family garden plots
since prehistoric times. Its
pungent bulb has been eaten
raw, chopped, minced, boiled
and fried; is a great additive to
liver, and its green tops have
been added to salads.
Labeled by old wives' tales as
a tonic to soothe nerves, its
history is no less dramatic. The
original species grows wild in
Asia, but has been modified and
modernized. With long periods
of cultivation it has bran modi-
fied into various varieties such
THE PERILS OF
POPULAR RELIGION
August 7,1988
Backround Scripture: Exodus 32.
Devotional Reading: Psalms 106:40-48.
No public relations person
would tell the story of the Israel-
ites at Mt. Sinai as the writer of
the book of Exodus writes it. As
he tells it, just about everyone in
the narrative is presented in an
unfavorable light: the Israelites,
Aaron, and even Moses.
Especially the Israelites. From
our safe perspective of the 20th
century, you and I can be proper-
ty shocked at the irresponsible
behaviour they exhibit. Impatient
because Moses has not yet come
down off the mountain, the peo-
ple of Israel demand of Aaron,
‘ ‘Up, make us gods, who shall go
before us; as for this Moses, the
man who brought us up out of
the land of Egypt, we do not know
what has become of him” (Exo-
dus 32:1). God has brought them
out of Egypt, freed them from the
pursuit of the Egyptians, pro-
vided water and food for them in
the wilderness and now, despite
all of that, they are impatient and
demand that Aaron provide them
with idols!
THE WAY IT WAS
We commend the writer of Ex-
odus for telling us the way it was,
not the way we would have pre-
ferred it to be. But we need to be
no less candid, for patience is no
more a universal virtue now than
it was in Moses’ day and we, des-
pite our pretensions, are probably
no less impatient with God than
the Israelites were. Who among
us has not dispaired when it seem-
ed that God was delayed in com-
ing to our aid? Which of us has
not grown impatient with prayer
that seemed unanswered and look-
ed for help elsewhere?
People may be more than wil-
ling to keep the covenant so long
as it seems that God is running
his end of the bargain according
to our time schedule. But, if God
insists upon being God and uses
a totally different timetable, how
long are we likely to wait faithfully
and patiently? Popular religion
is always an impatient one.
In addition to being impatient
for Moses’ return, the people of
Israel also wanted a god they could
see. handle and maybe even con-
trol. It was one thing for Moses to
tell them about a God whom they
could not see, but they wanted
something more tangible-like the
golden calf that Aaron made for
them out of their offerings of gold.
You and I, of course, are not very
likely to ask for a golden idol, but
that doesn’t mean that we are any
less materialistic in our religious
outlook. We may say we believe
in an invisible God, but we act as
if it is only the material goods in
which we can trust. Popular relig-
ion is always a materialistic one
EMOTIONAL BINGE
Thirdly, the people of Israel
wanted to turn their religion into
■ an emotional binge. The “still,
9 small voice” within was not e-
noiigh for them. They wanted a
religion that swept them off their
feet and turned their insides up
side down: “And the people sat
down to eat and drink, and rose
up to play” (32:6). There’s noth-
ing wrong about sitting down to
“eat and drink" or even rising
up “to play," so long as wc don’t
make that a substitute for obeying
our covenant with the Lord. The
problem is not emotion m religion,
but emotion instead of religion
The problem is substituting ex-
citement for obedience and faith
fulness, of mistaking entertain-
ment for revelation. Those are
always the attractive, compelling
perils of popular religion

as the Spanish and the Ber-
muda, the multiplying or salad
plant, with the top onion pro-
ducing numerous bulbiets for
future planting. The common
field onion is one of the hardiest
root plants and is grown in
every state in the U.S., with
Texas, N.Y., California leading
the top 10.

A noted “back East” choreo-
grapher was a visitor at her
native South County home last
week.
Kimberlee Ferreira of Blaris-
town, N.Y. was a house guest
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Alvin Courts of Rolling Hills.
She returned to N.J. Friday.
While here, she visited
friends and relatives including
her grandmother, Hilda Rey-
nolds of Beaumont.
Lured by the good fishing
reports along the coast, she
tried a bit of it with her dad in
Galveston.
“No fish,” her mother said.
‘The weather was too hot, I
guess.”
Kimberlee began dancing at
the age of five. After graduat-
ing from Lumberton High
School, she began a dancing
career at the Galveston amphi-
theatre where she was spotted
by a N.Y. dance director and
offered a place in the repertoire
of a dinner theater there.
She has appeared in numer-
ous musical comedies, including
“Chicago” and ultimately
starred in “South Pacific”. She
now is a choreographer director
in Bud Lane, New Jersey.
