experiment with lower and lower octane fuel until the engine
starts to knock, then move up to the next rating. Saves
money--and the environment, too.

RELIGIOUS
THOUGHTS
THE CHURCH AND TODAY'S MORAL CRISIS
The moral weakness of our land can be laid at the door of the
church. The Christianity of those who make up the church is
weak. Church members are failing to live out the moral and
ethical teachings of the Scriptures, The Church is not lifting up
her voice against the sins of her members as Christianity works
• dtself out in the practical realm of everyday life. There has been a
failure to apply Christian principles to life. We do aj/oor jobof
living what we profess. ":,-
Christianity has always been demonstration. Jesus Christ
demonstrated by example the type of person a Christian is to be.
The Apostle Paul said that the Christian is an example of the
grace of God (Eph. 1:6). To the Thessalonian Christians, the
Apostle said: "You were examples to all ... [I These. hT]. God
hasn't changed His mandate for this generation of Christians.
We too are to live as examples of what we profess to believe. Far
too often, Christians today have said, "This I believe;" and then
practiced something else.
The Christian life has to be demonstrated to others. The
Christian must live his religion. Jesus illustrated this by salt,
saying of the Christian: "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the
salt have lest his savour, wherewith shall it he salted? It is
thenceforth good for nothing, but to he east out, and to he
trodden underfoet of men" [Matt. 5:13]. The Christian is the
world's seasoning. If we lose our flavor, fail to profess what we
say we possess; then the world loses its example and can't find
the way. The Christian, thereby, becomes useless and good for
nothing.
When Christianity becomes only a Sunday religion, it becomes
useless as a seasoning for s6ciety. Our tendency has been to
leave our religion at the church house rather than take it home
with us, or take it to our businesses, our jobs, our schools, our
courts, our government, or our places of recreation.
Our reliou must he a way of life for us personally, or it is
personally useless. It must-be a Monday vitality as well as a
Sunday church going.
The Apostle Paul spoke of the Christian "walk." He meant
that faith in Christ is to be lived out in everyday life. The Apostle
said to the New Testament child of God who faced the pagan
world of his day: "Walk worthy of your vocation ,.," [Eph. 4=1].
He is speaking of the way we act; the way we live. We are to live
so we can be counted worthy to be called a Christian. The
Apostle said: "Walk circumspectly ..." [Eph. 5:15]. He means:
"Be careful how you act ..." To live circumspectly in this world
is to live accurately; it is to live pointedly concerning Christian
principles. The Apostle said, "Walk in love" [Eph. 5:1], The
love of which he speaks is that love and consideration that puts
supreme value upon the other person and sees the dignity of the
human soul.
Live your religion, if you have any[ Be a real Christianl Dare to
be the savor that makes life worthwhile, that improves your
circle just because you're there. Be an example of Jesus Christi
If you will, you will see a change in our society.
