PEOPLE-A PASTOR'S SUCCESS
Obet them thjl have the rule osrr *ou, and submit yourselves;
•or lives Match lor sour souls. Hebrews 13:17
14/iU I does a lake tor a minister to be a success? Is
WW i! having a large congregation a fleet of buses,
and a booming Simd.n school? Is it administrating
a vasi program that meets the needs of everyone? These
ihmgs have their place hut none in itself is the mark of
true* success In one sense a pastor will succeed in the
(vtilpil only it Cod s people give lu t’d in the pew.
Once when Paderewski was on tour, an aide noticed
that he looked sad. What's wrong' he inquired. The
great pianist said that some triends were missing from the
audience at his jH-rformancc ‘ That grav-harred couple—
this weren't in their usual seats in the fourth row " "Did
vou knots' them well? asked the aide I knew them very
well icpiicd Paderewski , but ! never met them I liked
the vvav they lisiened Every time I've played here for 20
yeais. I vc always played tor them
We nuisi come to church and respond to God s W'ord
with the -.’iiie eagerness and attentiveness that was ev ident
in that grav-haired couple. This doesn't mean we ll accept
everything lhe pastor saw for he too is a fallible man
But as vve humbly ask live lord to speak through Efim, the
Holy Spin! will impress His truth upon our hearts. Then
it s up to us Wc must lake God s message of comfort,
challenge, or correction and act on it It may _..n getting
_ nghi with others, changing wrong attitudes, or implement-
ing a biblical pattern of living This no! only hotiors the
lord, but it encourages the pastor to be the loving and
faithful expositor of the Scriptures that God wants him
to be —D.).D.
When in church you hear the Word
Preached by servants of the lord.
Always lei your heart allend

as what ihev DO about it.

The current name for them is displaced
homemakers. They’re at that awkward time of their
lives. Too old for camp. Too young for Social Security.
Too overqualified for yellow wax build-up. Too tired
for an affair.
They decide to re-enter the job market.
They’re terrified, insecure, intimidated, ap-
prehensive, desperate, confused, put-down and
frustrated. They’re sensitive about being the last
parenthesis of the age brackets (35 or over) on the
application form. There is one thing they are
definitely not...and that’s alone.
Every week, letters come over the desk asking me
to find some humor in their situtation. It’s not easy.
Can a woman who gets leg cramps from wedgies find
happiness with a young girl whose life revolves
around a yogurt pyramid club?
Mostly, displaced homemakers are amazed at what
they see when they emerge from their domestic time
capsule. One woman from Maumee, Ohio, summed it
up better than anyone else.
“I was interviewed by a child,” she said. “I knew
that child and all the others like her. Didn’t I hold
them in my arms, nurse them, powder their behinds?
Didn’t I feed them and hang crepe paper for their
birthday parties? I went to their class plays and
clapped the loudest I went to their science fairs and
walked for hours while they explained their projects
to me about how bread mold can cure cancer.
“I went to their noisy concerts, their plays and
listened to their voices crack between youth and
adulthood. *
fjgPgjggg ’Ify.budget,1
learned how to sew unreal balk. I enrolled them in
school and gave them words in English while they
responded in Spanish-
“Now my professional life hangs in their balance
and they are asking me if I’m qualified for anything.
“I have been told in the same day I am too quiet and
too aggressive. One said my eyebrows showed
‘negativism.’ (I developed those when I was ‘into
diapers.’) One asked if I could drive under pressure.
(Get serious!) Another said if I could get a No. 2
license I could drive an airport shuttle or if I were a
size 91 could rent cars.
“The girl in front of me had hipbones and mouth
like Emmett Kelly. She was young and got the iob.”
Do not despair, ladies. Try to remember Helen who
wrote in one of the letters, “When I was given an
application blank and I came to a small spot marked,
‘Experience,’ I said to the personnel manager,
‘Pardon me, sir, I’ve been a wife and mother for 15
years. I’ll need two extra sheets of paper to list my
background and skills.’”
She got the job.
