—Lant.islor Farming. Saturday. January 2. 19G5 4 From Where We Stand... A Time For Realignment Do you still make New Year’s resolutions, or have you discontinued that perennial practice because you found that you never kept them any way? The start of a new year is an ideal time for taking a good look at ourselves, and deciding how we can improve Many people- think of New Year’s re solutions as a complete rebuilding pro gram, and consequently they set goals for themselves that are not only un realistic. but overwhelming. Then they become discouraged when they find at tainment of these goal impossible. Perhaps in this space age in which we live it might be helpful to comp ire the realignment of our lives in the - ev year with the \uiv that scienti-ts <■ n make slight changes in the orbit ol a space vehicle by triggering built-in cor rection rockets at pre-determinod times The tiring ot these rockets cause the space ship to change its direction ly one way or the other so as to more perfectly attain its goal Isn’f this reilH* what wc hope to accorp.olish vith our lives bv our resolutions? Granted, minor coi rections should have been made all during the year as their need was indicated but psycholo gically, starting a new year has tradi tionally been the time when most at tention was focused on this operation If you are one who has some minor cor rections to be made, as who is not, then we remind you that the time is now To assure a certain amount of suc cess in this venture we pass on a couple of suggestions from the psychologists those mysterious students of human be havior. They suggest that, most impor tant, our resolutions must be realistic, within our power to accomplish Se condly, they say that the resolutions should be specific rather than general. That way we can better measure our progress and know whether we are really accomplishing anything. Finally, they suggest that we start slowly with projects that are not overly difficult In this way we are more likely to be suc cessful, and this sense of accomplish ment will provide a base of success upon which we can readily build great er accomplishments So that’s the formula An honest analysis of ourselves, a reexamination of our goals, a realistic set of resolu tions, and a step-by-step program to- Meaning Of The Recreation Boom To Income Of County Farmers PART 2 In Pai t 1 of this featme on Recieation as it i elated to Agiicultuie we said that it was spaiked nationally by the lapidly expanding population in the US the incieasing amount of leisuie time foi Amei icans and the inci eased family income We pointed out that Con giess had set the stage by Loncosfer Farming Lancaster Comity’s Own F nr nj Weekly P O Box 266 - Lititz, Pa.

(In future years that was not enough,' but that's another story.) The point is that every Jew in the place ground his teeth every time lie thought of the hated Romans and their insolent soldiers. The question is, how could Jesus or any one else claim to be a King without getting entangled with the Romans? R r r Great expectations There were two reasons in par ticular why Jesus did not imme diately get pounced on by the watchful Roman security police. One was that he did not at first lay claim to a throne, and when people called him Messiah (which meant something like > King-Elect) he would vigorously hush them up. Another reason was that he lacked the things most pretenders to a throne would be expected to have, such as an army and a squadron of dip lomats. But the real reason why it was so long before the Romans took notice of him was that he turned out to be so different, and lus kingdom so different, fiom the king and the kingdom the people Weie looking for, that his own people, the Jews themselves, did not tecognize him. Reality What they got, or what they weie offered, was something, Some One, far better than their gicatest expectations; a king who would not only be the legal heir to David’s throne, which Jesus was but one to whom ‘all authority in heaven and earth” had been given. They expected a Kingdom, right away, in which every evil which torments man Would be destroyed, and right maintained by force. What they got, or what they were offered, was a kingdom of the heart, a realm that might have to wait centuries to be fully established, yet one which could begin now and does exist in the hearts of faithful people everywhere. The news of this kingdom is never expressed as a second* best, or as a disappointment; it is always good news, for that Is what "Gospel” means. It Is the best news there is. The kingdom, of Christ is as near to you as yournext prayer; it is as power ful as the Spirit of God.
