Chapels Are Varied To 551 tisfy A11 Jr! Dr. Harold Lentz's final sermon, as President 0'? Carthage, deliv- ered in Siebert chapel on September 9 he quoted Matthew 13:16, Btessed are your eyes For they see, and your ears, for they hear, us the theme of his speech. He went on to state, What we really see and hear is mostly a matter of the stance we take toward life. What is it that keeps us from hearing when we do not hear? What are some of the things that, like wax in the ear makes one cleatc to the message of life in Jesus Christ, or Pike a membrane over the eyes keeps us From beholding the many revelations of God round about us? Some of our reasons can be compared to the tussiness of a duck looking tor toad and someone to quack at, the preoccupation with iittte things, like the cat who went to London and oniy caught a mouse, or a worm who burrows down into its own seIf-centered little world. It is possible to become so absorbed with our studies and soda! lite that all the trumpets of heaven might be blown in our ears and we would not hear them. And what I! worse, the pleading voice of Christ as he says to each one at us icorne unto me, ail ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest,' produces no more effect Upon us than the idle wind . . . They have shut themselves in service Theyr have made their little seIt-centered universe, and in it they live and move and have their being. They do not live in God's world with its colorful pageant of many races, its thrilling plot, and its tense battle against evil. Theyr have retired From the world , t , Theyr shut themselves out from the activity in service, and the zest of being part of the 'col'l'n'l'ILII'tihir of the sent.' We must learn to see God everywhere: in nature, in humanity, including every person who crosses our path - the lovely and the unlovely. The measure to which we see and hear is the degree to which we are truly alive. How much are you alive, aware, responsive? God is in this world. He Is all about us e on this campus, in classrooms, laborator- ies, dorm rooms He is constantly revealing the wonders of his crew otion and calls us to be his disctptes. We can shut him out of our sight and hearing or we can, by proper spiritual nourishment, grow in him, be grateful for his blessings, listen to his guidance and hear him say: 'Blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears, For theyr heart' ABOVE: One :hupel eazh tememr i5 devoted nately la the Extended OHering which give; Carthage students on aoportumly to make oftmno: of themielres lhfough samples ottheur tongue teudlngs, a! dance! pgltoining to rgligiout litut RIGHT.- Chitd abusel wolance, and inuletion cue sanouiir messed in lhe drama Dude pleienled by lhe Independent Eye Item Chico go 22 Chupets
