You're right, there are no landings! Risky business climbing stairs without landings. And stupid, too, since they don't go anywhere. There are people who would sacrifice almost anything to get to the top. They talk excitedly about the ladder of success. But in their eagerness to climb, they often choose a stairway to nowhere. One day the stone masons and cement- pourers will catch up with the structural- steel men Then a building will enfold this stairway It will have meaning and pur­ pose. It will be a stairway to somewhere. Our churches are busy building spiri­ tual values into the structure of our society. As these spiritual values enfold man's quest for success, the man on his way to the top becomes a dedicated servant of God and the community. Mount Hope Church United Methodist 1015 W.

The gifts of life were collected by the Red Cross Blood Center in Madison for distribution to eighty-eight hospitals in forty-five Wisconsin counties, including all Madison and university hospitals, and to the nation's armed forces wherever needed. The Bible Speaks Virgje L. Chappell, Pastor First Baptist Church, McHenry GIFTS In this season of giving and receiving gifts, it would be in­ teresting to see what the Bible has to say on the matter. "A gift is a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it", observed the wise man (Proverbs 17:8). In the free and often extravagant exchanges of today, it is often difficult to see a gift received as being a "precious stone". The modern exchange of gifts is more often the giving and receiving of material substance than it is the sharing of a real emotional involvement with one another. We can improve the situation this year by seeking to place our emotional beings into each gift purchased and given. Only as the gift is given in this sense can it be "as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it". There is a gift which is not to be received. "Thou shalt take no gift; for the gift blindeth the wise and perverteth the words of the righteous" (Exodus 23:8). Even something as right as the giving and receiving of gifts can be perverted. Often people will use the Christmas season to increase personal or business opportunity. The Bible speaks of the gift as mere bribery and should not be received. Any gift which would tend to place the receiver under the influence or power of the giver is not a proper gift. An often overlooked opportunity in giving is to give to a person who has become offended in some way by some action on our part. Perhaps we have been inconsiderate or even rude to a person and that person is offended in us. There is a possibility that we are innocent of wrong and yet another is offended. The Bible gives direction in this area too. "A gift in secret pacifieth anger* (Proverbs 21:14). The instruction is to humble oneself, secure a gift of expressing a desire for reconciliation, and in private to present it to the person offended. The gift is not only to be offered in private but is not to be discussed openly with others. It is an ex­ pression solely between the offended and the offender. It is to be an honest and sincere expression of one's self. Jesus Christ said that true happiness is to be found in giving rather than in receiving. "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). One would assume that the greatest ex­ citement of the Christmas season among most people is the an­ ticipation of what is to be received. Our attention this season should be upon giving gifts which express our own appreciation and love toward others. The Bible says that God Himself is the giver of gifts. Jesus spoke to the woman at the well concerning the "gift of God" (John 4:10). St. Paul called that gift an "unspeakable gift" (2 Corinthians 9:15). The author of Hebrews calls it a "heavenly gift" (Hebrews 6:4). The gift which God offers is called by the apostle Paul, "eternal life" (Romans 6:23). "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord". The Bible in­ dicates that of all the gifts given and received during this season, none can approach in worth that Gift offered by God Himself. The wonder of this gift is that it is available to all who will receive it. "As many as received Him (Jesus Christ) to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" (John 1:12). Todays Health Nen/s Published by the American Medical Association Danger rides the school bus . . . injuring more than 3,500 school children each year in school-bus accidents. In a single year some 75 children die in school-bus acci­ dents. Billions can be spent in design­ ing and building new buses, but Howard C. Mofenson, chairman of the American Academy of Pedi­ atrics Committee on Accident Pre­ vention, suggests spending what money is available to improve the buses now in use. He recommends padding seat rails and hiring an adult (in addition to the bus driver) to monitor the children on the bus, supervise them as they get on and off and enforce a "no standing" rule. According to Mofenson, it's unrealistic to ex­ pect one person to be able to drive and supervise a busload of children. DIAL-A-DEVOTION PHONE Hear God's Word Wherever You Are. SPONS6RED BY: GUETTLER'S SERVICE STATION Parents can help, too, says the National Safety Council, by en* couraging their children to 1. Leave the house early so they don't rush into an accident. 2; Use handrails. 3. Take their seats quickly. 4. Keep books, lunch pails, etc. out of the aisles. 5! Avoid horseplay that could dis­ tract the driver. 6 Eat breakfast and finish homework at home, (Spilled food can cause slips; a sudden stop may cause a child to jab himself with a pencil or pen.) 7. Stand away from the bus as it pulls away and cross at least 10 feet in front, where the driver can see them. And the family car . . . Very few parents, when driving with their children, lock car doors, seat children in the rear, and use seat belts. This was the conclu­ sion of j telephone survey of 162 parents by researchers at the Uni­ versity of Rochester School of Mcdicine. Roadside observations of children in passing cars con­ firmed the findings of the tele­ phone poll, which showed that fewer than one-fifth of parents in­ sisted on safety practices in cars. Why the concern? Each year nearly 6,000 children under 15 ®re killed and 258,000 are injured in automobile accidents.
