PAGE 8-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, Invite Men To Join National Eagle Society Men who have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout are now eligible to join the new National Eagle Scout association, ac­ cording to Reinhold G. Miller, Scout executive of the Blackhawk Area council, Boy Scouts of America, Inc. Miller explained that the new association provides the op­ portunity for all Eagle Scouts, regardless of age, race, creed, or economic status to retain an association with Scouting through service to the local councils in which they live. Nationally, of the fifty-two million members erf the Boy 1972 Scouts of America since 1910, there have been over 700,000 Eagle Scouts. About 31,000 earned the award last year with a total of seventy-three in the Blackhawk Area Council which serves nine counties in nor­ thwest Illinois and three in Wisconsin. "When a boy earns the Eagle award and as he grows into adulthood, he wants to continue his active involvement with the national movement that has provided many of his most enjoyable experiences," Miller said. This is a national organization but applications can be obtained through the local Council Service Center, 1800 7th Avenue, Rockford, Illinois. f a - C H U R C H S E R V I C E S S f #v% , ^ Mount Hope Church United Methodist 1015 W.

I couldn't believe my eyes--for it was harvest time, not Easter. I put them in a vase on the dining room table, and at dinner that night we^exclaimed over their sweet fragrance. But, to me, it was vaguely dis­ turbing--Easter lilies in New England in November--the leaves drifting to the ground in the yard outside, and a symbol of the Resurrection bloom­ ing, all at the same time. And why not? What is the Resurrection but rebirth ... a new begin­ ning? Even in the fall of the year, even in the autumn of our lives, is it ever to late to begin again? Even if one has not been going to church, is it too late to start again? These were the questions I asked myself. I found the answers when I went back to church last Sunday.

"Buses are an integral part of our outreach program," explained Les Thomas, director of busing for the First Baptist church of McHenry. "Our aim is to present the Biblical teachings to as many persons as possible, that Christian concepts and prin­ ciples may be applied to in­ dividual lives, as each person may wish to apply them." This is no less the philosophy and aim of Mrs. Dick (Louise) GRANT FOR PARK Congressman Robert Mc- Clory has joined Governor Richard B.

McCullom Lk. Kd. McHenry SAINTS OF GOD The title "Saint" as used in our modern vocabulary is not completely Biblical. One often hears expressed, "She (or he) is sure a saint!" The thought being that the person is a good and righteous person. He is perhaps of high moral standing and very much respected by the person making the expression. Another concept of "Saint" is the cannonization of some particular person whom a group or church would wish to recognize in a special way. This person is deceased and is held in reverence in the memory of those still living. Of course, we can use words as we wish and since a language is dynamic, there are always changes in meaning of words. However, we wish to point out that the Biblical saint is not necessarily the 20th century saint. The first thing to notice is that the Biblical saint is very much alive. The Christians at Rome were referred to as saints by the Apostle Paul. (Romans 1:7). This was also true of the believers who formed the fellowship of the church at Corinth (I Corinthians 1:2). Paul referred to all persons, those who identified with either of their local churches, as being saints. Especially in the letters to the Corinthians one becomes aware of imperfections in the lives of many of the saints. I Corinthians 1: lOff speaks of dissension and divisions. In numerous places Paul speaks of their self exaltation and each trying to do something better than another. There was even gross immorality found in the church (I Corinthians 5), though Paul did not necessarily designate these persons involved as saints. In any case, most of the people of that church, referred to as saints by the Apostle Paul, were far less than what the modern mind conceives of as being saints. Then, what is a saint? What connotations does the title carry?1 Sainthood in the Bible is not some honor man would place upon another man. It is not an exalting of an individual to a level unable to be attained by most others. Instead, it is an operation of ~ upon man. It is the personal and individual work of God's He Spirit as He purges sin and makes holy that individual who yield to Him. That person is cleansed from secret faults (Psalms 19:12). The Psalmist David prayed, "Create in me a clean heart, 0 God," (Psalm 51:10). The Biblical concept of Sainthood (Holinesf) is not just confession to God (man's part) but complete cleansing (God's part). The Old Testament scapegoat was led into tip wilderness away from the people bearing their sins with hilt. (Leviticus 16). Jesus Christ "cleanseth us from all sin." (I John 1:7). In the Biblical concept, those persons who believe in Jesi Christ, have confessed him as Savior and Lord and upon whom God has worked his purifying process, are the "Saints of God. i
