From Where We
Have A Safe Hunt Today
Well, today it's off to the woods and
ipen fields witi urn in hand and old Spot
dioad will) nose to the ground hunting
labbits. King-Necked Pheasants or Quail,
t will be a day of fun and relaxation un
ess you are curried back on a stretcher a
ictim of a hunting accident like a number
1 limiters are each > ear.
The rules for gun safely would fill many
-ooks. but they are fairly simple, founded
n down-to-earth common sense. In tact, it
s the \cry simplicity of the rules that en
.ourage some gun handlers to ignore or by
pass them.
In the heat ot the hunt, many shooters
orget that their weapons will shoot just as
iccurately and as deadly when pointed
away from the line of sight as they will when
aimed at game.
Before >ou go into the fields this >car,
think over these simple rules; see how
common-sense they are. and see how very
ittle time and ettort is involved in observ
.ng them.
Know what you are firing at before you
lull the trigger. Everyone knows this ru'e.
et every year several "hunters are killed
)y companions w ho thought the rustle in the
jushes was made b.v a rabbit.
Ne\er climb o\er or through a fence
vithout first unloading the gun. We know
ou might miss a shot at a pheasant, but
hat is better than shooting yourself or a
companion and spending time in a hospital
or worse
Never shoot at hard, flat surfaces; rico
chets can wound and kill This rule includes
oeing sure of your background as well as
your target Shooting towards buildings or
highways can be as dangerous as taking
direct aim at people'or property.
Keep guns and ammunition away from
children. This does not mean just babies
The pre-teen youngster who has seen his
lather handling the gun in the house but
never in the field has no way of knowing the
terrible force enclosed in those shiny shells.
Teenagers often handle guns safely, but
they should demonstrate that they know and
use safe practices before going hunting
alone.
Be absolutely sure guns earned into
camp or the house are unloaded. Keep them
cased until your hunting area is reached.
Never look down a gun barrel to see it it
■s loaded This rule sounds ridiculous, but
breaking it is the cause of deaths every
year. Treat every gun as if it were loaded
Never point the gun at anything you
don’t want to shoot, and always keep the
safety on until you are ready to shoot
Remember that alcohol and ammuni
tion can make a deadly mixture
In sum. treat a gun with the respect it
deserves Work on the principle that it is al-

wavs loaded and ready to fire, even though
j uu know it isn't.
We know it is too much to expect, or
even hope for. hut if everyone follows these
rules, all the armies of hunters yourself
included will come home tonight under
their own power.
At least that's the way it looks from
where we stand.
Sneaky Switch
Following the announcement of price
increases by one of the nation’s major auto
manufacturers, the President's cabinet
committee on price stability noted that this
action was "a. severe setback to the cause
of price stability.” The further observation
was made that if the automobile industry as
a whole followed the pattern of this xme
company, it would cost “. . . the American
consumer $750 million.”
Once again, officials in government are
slipping the shoe of blame for the rising
prices of inflation on the wrong foot. Out
landish federal deficit spending, this year
running at some 525 billion, is the primary
factor causing inflation. With all the high
priced economists working for the govern
ment, you would think one of them might
look back and discover that on an average,
during the past 18 years, every 52.6 billion
deficit in the federal government has been
accompanied by a one per cent increase in
all prices. It is just as simple as that.
A Little Cheesy
The Pennsylvania Department of Agri
culture is going to bat for sharp cheese
lovers
State Agriculture Secretary Leland H.
Bull said the Department’s food inspectors
are investigating complaints of mild cheese
being incorrectly labeled “very sharp
cheese” and “real sharp cheese ”
“A man who loves sharp cheese has
been flimflammed if the package he takes
home turns out to be mild or even medium
sham cheese,” Bull said.
He said sharp cheese is more expensive
because it requires an aging period He add
ed that mislabeling cheese is a violation of
Pennsylvania’s food law.
Oh, well. What next?

HOME COUNTRY

D«v«li*nal R««rfinf IP«l«rl1*12<
rConsider yourself.. .at home!”
sings Artful Dodger to Oliver in
the musical adaptation of Oliver
Twist. For a while, Oliver does
just that, making himself "at
home” in a group of juvenile
petty thieves and pickpockets. He
soon realizes,
however, that he
cannot truly be
"at home” there,
for there is
something better
waiting for him.
There is anal
ogy here-for our
lives. We are
_ ~, constantly invit-
Rcv. Althouse ed and tempted
to make ourselves "at home” in
this world. Yet the Christian must
never forget that there iS‘some
thing better waiting for him. His
stay here is but a sojourn, a brief
stay.
That is why the writer of I
Peter calls us "aliens” and
"exiles.” The two Greek words
for these terms, paroikos and
paridemos, describe someone
who lives for a while in a country
that is not his own. It is but his
temporary residence. As one
whose ultimate destination is a
distant homeland, he must not do
anything here that would invali
date his passport to the far
country.
Thus the Christian must
regard society differently than
others. Its morals and values are
not necessarily his own. His
highest allegiance goes to another
[kingdom and thus he must be
considered a sojourner, an alien.
His residence here is but tem
porary. His citizenship, his pass
port have been issued elsewhere.
A chosen race
What then is the Christian’s
valid relationship to society?
Shall he ignore the world in
which he lives? Shall he hidefrom
it? Seek to remain aloof from it?
No, says Peter. The Christian’s
alien influence must be felt here.
For he is part of "a chosen race.”
Unlike the biological races
of man, he does not become a
Christian by virture of ancestry
or heredity. He is part of this

race became God-has called him
and he has responded. He is In
vllcd, not because of what he
naturally Is, but because of what,
by the grace of God, he can be*
come. Responding rightly to this
call, he must be different.
We are also "a royal priest
hood.” "Royal" because we serve
Christ the King, and "Priesthood”
because we are intended to bring
others into his service. The priest
offers sacrifices and the Christian
offers himself sncrlfidally for
the sake of the King and hit
kingdom.
Christians are part of "a holy
nation.” To be "holy” means tobe
set apart from others for a par
ticular purpose. As a "holy
nation,” therefore, we are a fellow
ship of those who have been
marked for a particular mission
in this world.
Finally, we are "God’s own
people.” He has made us, called
us, and set us apart so that we
might belong to him and servs
him alone. It is this loyalty to
him above ail else that marks us
as aliens and exiles wherever we
go in this world.
“When in Rome..
All this, of course, has a pur
pose. We are "a chosen race,® "a
royal priesthood,” a "holy
nation,” and "God's own people,”
so that we may be witnesses and
agents of the home country in this
world of darkness. Though this
world is not our final destination,
though we owe our allegiance to
his kingdom alone, we mustfaith
fully do our work of representa
tion here if we are ever to return
to that home country.
"When in Rome,” goes the old
saying, "do as the Romans do.”
But the Christian cannot content
himself with simply "fitting in.”
If he is a disciple of Christ he can
not consider himself at home. He
regards this world as "a nice
place to visit,” but he does not
really want to live here. He will
make it as much like the home
land as possible, but he will be
ready to leave for the home
country when the call comes.
