Wednesday, November 11. 1981 SCOTT COUNTY times I Sunday School Lesson I Obituaries r-Jhrr1. i-in i 'v-J rf I ft Ly lL iiiLjk ji 1 1,11 i Mayor Signs Proclamation Corinthians 13:1 (RSV). I like to think of love as a verb, not noisy action, but quiet and unassuming. God Himself Is love, and He Is quietly at work in our lives constantly.

Jesus' great commandments were love to God, and love for each other. We are all familar with the classic little book, "The Greatest Thing in the World," written by Henry Drummond. When Dwight L. Moody heard of his death, he was at a banquet. With tears running down his cheeks, he said that some people take a Journey into I Corinthians 13, but that Henry Drummond lived there constantly.

As a closing thought, I'd like to share Francis W. Bour-dillon's poem on love. "The night has a thousand eyes And the day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies with the dying Sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done." The basis for Jesus' entire kingdom was love.

The national meeting of Extension 4-H Agents was in Orlando, Florida last week. It was a super conference following the theme "The Magic World of 4-H." The keynote speaker helped us learn how to unlock our potential 1. Honor your profession 2. Honor your students 3. Honor others 4.

Honor yourself There were numerous opportunities for sharing ideas and learning from other agents throughout the United States. The national meetings always give me new inspiration to provide more exciting activities for the youth in Scott County. HELP! Has 4-H helped you or someone close to you at anytime in your life? If so, would you take time to send a contribution to the Scott County 4-H Club Fund, Box 276, Forest, Mississippi 39074. Any amount would be greatly appreciated and is tax deductible. With all the cutbacks and 4-H funds at an all time low, it doesn't seem quite fair to make our outstanding 4-H members suffer.

But unless we get some financial support very soon we will be forced to eliminate some of the awards that are usually presented. Please chip in and do your part to help support our Scott County 4-H Clubs. We are entirely self-supporting and do not receive any government funding. In most cases we provide free services and educational programs for all youth in Scott County regardless of race, sex or nationality.

By Mrs. Jesse Waller This chapter of I Corinthians 13 cannot be adequately described by any superlative in the English language. So excellent is Its quality, and so essential to the Christian experience, its application, it is beyond description.

Again, it is one of the best loved, and most quoted chapters In the Bible. To love Is to live, and if one knows not how to love, that life is mere existence. Doctors and psychologist know the ravages of lives bereft of love. They claim that social isolation will result in emotional and physical deterioration. We have seen this happen to people, in a nursing home we visit.

We all want healthy bodies. There is an over emphasis in this direction everywhere we turn today. Most of my friends are on crash diets, or are going through painful rituals to improve their body. It is a fad to let this be the consuming passion of our lives. Mature Christians try to strike a balance.

They try not to neglect their bodies, but are mindful that they are a soul also. Paul compares the church to the body of Christ, of which individual Christians are members. The best gift that all may exercise is love. "The more excellent way," of which Paul speaks, to the Corinthian church, is love. So simple, and yet so difficult for some.

The Corinthian church had been seeking the lesser gifts, which seemed to them, more spectactular, such as prophecy, teaching, working miracles, the gift of healing, and more than any other, the gift of tongues, which was more demonstrative. Now having named tongues last, in his list of gifts, Paul named it first among the lesser The people who spoke in tongues had a high opinion of themselves. To Paul this exercise was largely for self satisfaction and made no better music than "a noisy gang or a clanging cymbol" I Do You Recognize This Person?
