I Hit or Miss l
II By DAVID EVERMAN 1t
In the past week the town of Clarendon has undergone a
transformation from a quiet, peaceful Texas hamlet to a town
carried away by an intense feud. The feud, of course, was with
district rival Memphis and culminated with the game Friday
night that probably decided the district crown, barring upsets by
smaller teams down the road. In the midst of this rivalry, a
smaller one, but one no less intense, has been developing in the
offices of The Press.
Helen Woody, office manager and Anson '46 grad, has been
going 'round and 'round with Sally Hester, ad maker and Hamlin
'69 graduate. This rivalry has been going on since the football
season began, and every Monday the office is informed that the
Anson Tigers did this or the Hamlin Pied Pipers did that. Of
course, the last thing the Pipers did was hand a 34-20 loss to the
Childress Bobcats, the same team that did in both Clarendon and
Memphis by 13-0 scores. As can be imagined, the Monday after
that game all that was said around here either pertained to the
Hamlin-Childress games or ended up referring to the
Childress-Hamlin game somehow.
Not too much has been said about Anson, since Helen can't
find much to say about a team that is plugging along with only
one win to its credit, but the office personnel do get to hear such
things as "Act like a ching, act like a chow, act like a
ching-ching-chow-chow-chow," when Mrs. Woody is in a
pep-rally mood. That is a terrible thing to be regaled with on a
Monday morning (or any morning for that matter), but that cheer
is the best of the lot. There are other cheers that would curl your
hair.
In compodwn with Helen's cheerleading heroics, Sally has
been rather quiet, preferring the smug look most supporters of
an undefeated team effect when confronting a fan of their
arch-rival, especially when said arch-rival is not having a very
successful year on the gridiron.
Sally just comes to work in the morning, wearing her green
Hamlin Pied Piper windbreaker, and goes about her business
with only an occasional word about her team. Helen usually
manages to bring her out of this by Scotch-taping a hastily
devised pro.Anson poster to the wall behind her desk, which gets
things going.
These two ladies are not the only ones getting into the act,
however. Somebody drew a cartoon of someone going "yay,
Ansonl" on Helen's note pad and labeled it "Helen." As of yet,
the culprit has not been discovered, but there are strong
suspicions.
Sally met with ridicule f6r two or three days after first wearing
her Pied Piper windbreaker because the editor could not believe
that anyone would call a team "The Pied Pipers" and keep a
straight face and clear conscience. Bronchos? OK. Cyclones? No
sweat. Indians? All right. But Pied Pipers? Never. It's a wonder
they can even field a team under the nickname of "Pied Pipers."
This competition has not even reached full proportions yet. On
November 16, the Anson Tigers and the Hamlin Pied Pipers
meet on the football field in the season's last game. The game
will not mean much title-wise to either team, since Hamlin will
probably have clinched the district crown and Anson will
probably have given up hope for anything. But, oh boy, will it be
fun around here for a week before and after the Anson.Hamlin
(or Hamlin-Anson) game.
I'm glad I'm a newswriter instead of a pro football ref6ree.
Sunday, during theDallas game, this one o1' referee was
standing there, minding his own business When Ralph 'Nt61y '-
came roaring up and got revenge for all his holding penalties by
knocking'this ref about five yards. Then Calvin Hill hit him and
knocked him another five yards. Then the crowd started to boo
him. Some days it just doesn't pay fo get up.
Israel's back in the driver's seat in the Mideast: America
finally got the Russians to start talking peace. The Soviets
dragged out these peace talks while the Arabs were winning the
war, but they're quick on the trigger for peace talks now that
Israel's twenty miles from Damascus and fifty miles from Cairo.
It only took little Israel three weeks to get the Arabs down this
time, instead of six days. They must be dragging things out for
the fun of it.And while they are dragging things out, the U. S. is
getting shorted on the oil market by the Arabs. Maybe after this
we will get our stuff together and start developing our own
resources and not have to depend on other nations for the
survival of our economy.
Freedom From Self
Selflslme is the basic drive behind human behavior. It may
carry many names; alterior motive, common interest, etc.
Nations exhibit this in their interactions. Politicians practice this
when helping to sponsor each other's actions. Competition is a
form of selfishness. Not all self-based behavior is strictly evil. A
three year old says, "mine" to everything in sight. At times this
may be cute, yet when exhibited in adult behavior it becomes
ugly and distasteful.
Jesus Christ teaches us, "The first of all commandment= la,
Hear, O lsraeh The Lord our God Is one Lord: And thou sindt
love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength; this Is the first
commandment. And the second Is like, namely this, Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself. There Is none other commandment
greater than these" [Mark 12=29-31].
The basic drive behind our behavior is love. First and
foremost, we are to love God totally, without reservation. And
then we are to love our fellowman the same way, regardless of
who they might be or what they might be. Everything the Word
of God teaches is founded on these two precepts, "On these
two...hang all the law sad the prophets" [Matthew 22:40]. When
these are actively present in our lives, they overcome our
self-motive. One basic precept underlies all of this, that God is
one Lord, He will not share any dominance with any other 'god.'
A signil[icaqt point can be seen in the order that they are
taught. The second precept is dependent absolutely on the first.
Our love of God is the only secure and permanent basis for our
love of our fellowman. When oar love is not based in God, then
its liability is self-gratification, self-interest, and sentimentality'.
Selfishness as a motive for our behavior is the root of sin in our
lives. This root can be replaced by God's love within us. We face
thisvhen we make a choice as to who our 'God' will be - myself
or the Lord God?
By faith we are made free, and by faith we continue to be free.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ offers true freedom to all who
I respond to its call. This is freedom from sin and freedom from
' self. Now we come to the heart of it all - am I willing to submit to
the love of God in my life? That question we all need to answer.
How we respond is the act that determines whether we are free
or servants to sin and self.
The Church of the Nazarene invites you to its services to share
in the freedom of the Gospel. Opportunities are: Church school,
9:45 a.m., Morning worship, 11:00 a.m., Evening worship, 7:00
p.m., Mid-week Bible study, 7:30 p.m Wednesday.
We urge all to attend church regularly as families/
