THE HOPKINS COUNTY ECHO
The Christian in Society
Friday, April 1, 1955.
il

roadway where sight restriction is
BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
I -
T'HIS is a rather nice question:
A What is “society?”
In otic sense it is the limited
sMeoktcds
well-born; the people whose
names are in the social registers
and society columns—the groups
to which I don't, and probably
you don’t, belong.
“Society," also, is the com-
munity in which one lives. It is
the total of such communities in
a province, state, or country. It
is the whole of organized life in
many countries, as closely re-
lated to one another in the world
of today as towns separated by
a few miles were even a genera-
tion ago. It is the world of hu-
manity. A society at large, in-
cluding all of us.
Society, whatever its form and
extent, is very important; and
the Christian is very important
to society, for in a very real sense
he represents a great deal -that
society is not. Even in the local
community there is often a great
deal that falls far short of the
jChristian ideal of love and broth-
erhood, and even of the stern re-
quirement of common honesty.
Sometimes we call society “the
social order," though at times,
it might more accurately be de-
' scribed as the social disorder. The
original creation was, and still
is, a bringing of order out of
’chaos; and the creative task of
Christianity in its social mission
is to create social order where
disorder is now prevalent. V
Has Christianity a social mis-
sion? Have individual Christians
social, obligations other than to
, lead personalty good lives in
limited relationships?
Many people say “no"; and
the other-worldly aspect of re-
ligion has not only been strongly
emphasized in the past, but is at
present a matter of keen contro-
versy in the World Council of
Protestant - Churches+in » which 4
many have challenged the idea of
hope for the world.
I have been recalling some of
the hymns of my boyhood in
which this sentiment of world-
renunciation was strong. The
poor, itinerant preacher might
well be pardoned for singing,
truthfully, “No foot of land do I
possess, no cottage in the wilder-
ness; a ipoor wayfaring man";
but there was less warrant for
those, with land’ and cottages,
who sang:
"No tranquil joy* on earth I
know; >
No peaceful sheltering dome; ■
This world’s a wilderness of woe;
This world is not my home.’’
The sentiment was coveted up
with 3 rousing tune about "work-
ing until Jesus came.”
How different the Lord’s Pray-
er about the will of God being
done in earth as in heaven, and
the prayer, “Thy Kingdom
come”!
Jesus spoke of "many man-
sions” and of a prepared place
(John 14), but the heavenly
home was for those who had
been faithful on earth. Paul
spoke of "an eternal and exceed-
ing weight of glory” (j.T Corin-
thians 4:17), and of “a crown of
righteousness” (II Timothy 4:8),
but it was as one who had
fought the good fight and kept
the faith.
This world is not “a wilder-
ness of woe” but a great testing
ground of man’s fulfillment' of
God’s purposes and God’s will.

Patrolmen Explain
Rules for Passing
In reminding motertbsts that all
traffic regulations are made spe-
cifically for the protection of life
and property, local Highway Pa-
trolmen Friday voiced the opinion
that a motoring public well in-
formed in such regulations would
make fewer mistakes which result
in highway accidents.
With this in view, Patrolmen
Joe Pruett and Jesse Reed have
launched an educational program
designed to acquaint Hopkins
County motorists with traffic laws
of the state in the hopes of cur-
tailing losses of life and property
through automobile accidents.
Using the newspaper as a me-
dium of reaching the public, they
propose from time to time to en-
umerate most of the common
faults responsible for many of the
accidents.
While speed is the Number 1
killer on highways, there are oth-
er unsafe practices of motorists
which also result in death and
high property losses. Among the
latter is improper passing, the pa-
trolmen explained.
They enumerated the following
limitations on overtaking on the

time years. And Henson mention-
ed lower farm production costs.
Benson also said per rapita
farm income i ncreased slightly
last year, despite a somewhat
smaller overall total of farm in-
come. That’s because there were
fewer farmers, he said.
