To be sure, we had our fun But we weren’t that daring!

If you still doubt There’s a cultural gap, Compare our music To their stupid rap!

—CC— And speaking of changes, most of us senior church members remember when the church battle over Bibles began. It was the King James Version (God’s Bible) and the NIV. Later the battle switched to music. Contemporary music tried to unseat Southern Gospel music and old time hymns (God’s music).

Now the battle has switched to seats. We “pew” people are being attacked by the “chair brigade.”

At first, it just didn’t sit well with Nancy Shane when her church decided to switch from pews to chairs.

“My generation grew up in pews,” the grandmother of three says. She worried the sanctuary of the Windham First Church of the Nazarene would resemble a movie theater.

Yet, when the pews were removed in September and replaced with burgundy-cushioned chairs, she says she decided God didn’t care whether she prayed from a pew, a chair or even the floor.

“I walked in Wednesday night for a prayer meeting and the chairs were there, and they were beautiful,” she says. “I thought, ‘Nancy Shane, even at 68 years old, young woman, you can change.’ “ She isn’t the only churchgoer being asked to take a stand on new Sunday seating arrangements. Pews have been part of the Western world’s religious landscape for centuries, but now a growing number of churches in the U.S. and U.K. are opting for chairs, sometimes chairs equipped with kneelers.

At bottom: churches want to trim remodeling costs, maximize space flexibility with stackable seating, or create a more approachable atmosphere to draw in unchurched young people.

“Lots of people shy away from a formal church setting. It makes them very nervous,” says the Rev. Samuel LaCombe, of the Windham church, who is planning to move the new chairs aside to use the sanctuary for community suppers. “Now, what’s so scary about beans and hot dogs and yeast rolls? Not much.”

Wallace & Martinez

Buy your ticket from any Allen high school athlete

Mustangs of the Month of October The Allen High School Mustangs of the Month for October, Britten Wallace and Salvador Martinez, were honored Wednesday. Chamber member sponsor this month was Farmers State Bank and the presentation was made by bank president Debbie Rinehart.

The students were presented a plaque from the Chamber and receive a cash award in “Allen Bucks” from the monthly sponsor. The money may be spent at Allen businesses that are members of the Chamber.

In addition to their photos and bio in The Advocate, their picture will also be on display at the Farmers State Bank.

Britten, a senior, is the daughter of Stan and Lisa Wallace.

Her favorite subject is Ag because, she says, I love competing in contests and showing livestock.

Britten has maintained a 4.0 gpa since Pre-K. She serves as FFA president, is a StuCo and

BPA officer, and has qualified for Nationals in rodeo. Her hobbies are rodeo, showing goats, and hanging out with friends.

She states her future plans are either becoming an occupational therapist or something in the agricultural field.

The nominating teacher said of Britten, “I am recommending this student because she is helpful. She is involved in several activities in school and out of school. She is involved in FFA, BPA, StuCo and several other organizations. Out of school she is active in church, helping with 4-H, and very active with community service.

I highly recommend this student.”

Salvador is the son of Susana Martinez, and is a sophomore at Allen High. His favorite subject is Science because, he says, science helps us better understand the world around us and helps us along the way.

His achievements include being a member of a state championship FFA team. His interests and hobbies include reading, learning about the world, and listening to a variety of different music.

Salvador’s career choice is to attend OU and get a Masters degree in engineering.

In recommending Salvador, his teacher said: “I am nominating Salvador Martinez for Mustang student of the month.

He is always prepared for class and makes A’s in all of his classes. He is very involved with FFA and when he is going to miss class he asks for assignments before the event. He is always respectful to teachers and peers. He is responsible for getting his sibling ready for school in the morning and he makes sure they both are here every day. He is an officer for FFA, shows an animal, and is involved with the landscape and nursery program.”

Country Comments from Page 3 Paul Lodholz, a principal with Ziegler Cooper Architects, a Houston church-design company.

In the Church of England, rows have erupted over decisions to remove pews, forcing churches to delay remodeling plans for months while protests wind through diocesan courts.

In formal judgments, the courts largely uphold modernization plans, with the condition that chairs are of high quality. A September 2012 ruling criticized a church in the Diocese of Chichester for chairs that were “ghastly in their red upholstered inappropriateness.”

In the English town of Epworth, Winifred and Harold Woolgar filed official objections over a switch in May from pews to chairs at St. Andrew’s Parish Church. Mr. Woolgar dubbed the plan an “unnecessary act of official vandalism.”

Having lost the battle, Ms. Woolgar, who is 73, says she is still missing the pews. “I feel it’s lost a little of the atmosphere of a religious building,” she says.

Church treasurer Penny Birks disagrees, saying the new chairs are of “quality oak,” and that with flexible seating, the church has already been able to hold community events, including a recent bridal exhibition.

Sauder Manufacturing Co., an Ohio concern that is a top U.S. provider of church seating, said pews still dominate in more liturgical denominations, such as Roman Catholicism.

But overall, the share of

pew sales is declining, while cushioned metal chairs, complete with hymnal racks, are now an estimated 35% of the market, says marketing director Rick Mueller. A decade ago, these chairs were minor players, he says.

Eager to use its chapel for events other than Sunday, the First Lutheran Church in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, is weighing a move to chairs. The Rev. Michael Rehak placed two styles of chairs in the lobby for worshipers to review.

“The smaller, straight-backed ones were uncomfortable for us taller folk,” wrote churchgoer Arne Peterson, 81 years old, who test-sat the sample seats with his wife, Phoebe. She wasn’t keen on either version.

“I don’t think I would want to give up a pew for them,” she says.

Some parishioners have deepseated attachments to pews, as the Rev. Aaron Rayburn of Edwards Road Baptist Church in Greenville, S.C., recently learned when he proposed a switch to keep costs lower during a remodeling. His 600 or more churchgoers have rejoiced and wept, and “it all happened in a pew.”

Mindful of the sensitivity over seating, he will bring the matter to a church vote this month.

“I don’t want to go in like a dictator and say, ‘We’re having chairs,’ “ he says.

In the countryside northwest of Portland, Maine, the white steepled Windham First Church of the Nazarene is embracing a more inviting atmosphere, says Pastor LaCombe. The choir is now the “praise team.”

Lyrics projected on the walls allow churchgoers to wave their hands rather than clutch a hymnal.

Weekly attendance has risen to 125 people in recent years but is still short of a peak of 198 in 1992, he says.

Indeed, in a study released last year by the Pew Research Center, fewer than half of Americans said they were Protestant, a record low percentage. Meanwhile, the study said a third of adults under 30 were unaffiliated with any one particular religion, although many said they were religious or spiritual.

Windham First Church’s board prayed for two years over whether to go to flexible chairs to allow for more uses of the sanctuary. “There were some tears,” says board member Laura Gurney, 47.

But ultimately, many in the church got excited over the chairs. A ballot box was put out, and the congregation voted between five fabric swatches, choosing a reddish hue that gives the sunny sanctuary a patriotic feel.

“Aren’t they awesome? God has allowed us to sit in these big soft comfortable chairs,” Pastor LaCombe said from the pulpit on Sept. 22, the first Sunday with the new chairs, prompting cries of “Amen!”

Older churchgoer Jim Asher frowned as he surveyed the sanctuary. “It doesn’t look right,” he said. “I grew up in a church that had pews, and I think that’s what belongs in a church.”

I agree with Jim Asher!

—CC— There will always be disagreements in church. I especially enjoyed the story about two church members who were beginning to argue over how high to stack the chairs in the fellowship hall.

Finally, one said, “Okay, look, here we are, arguing while we are serving the Lord. Let’s do this. You work on that side of the room, doing it your way, and I will continue on this side of the room, doing it God’s way.”

Gehrig such loose talk was just not permissible.

The last straw came when Ruth spoke disparagingly of Gehrig’s cherished consecutive game streak. He said he regarded it as little more than a boring statistic. Ruth said Gehrig ought to learn to sit on the bench and rest. That no one was going to pay him for how many game he played in a row.

Then the wives fell out. Dorothy, the 12 year old daughter of Ruth’s wife went to visit Lou’s mother in the early 30’s dressed as a shabby tomboy.

The wives fell out and the rift never resolved itself.

Lou Gehrig died on June 2, 1941, just 17 days before his 38th birthday. He had already won his place among baseball’s demigods.

There is a story about a 17 year old girl, Jackie Mitchell, who pitched against the Yankees on April 2, 1932. That the first batter she faced was Ruth and she struck him out. He was followed by Gehrig and she struck him out. This may have been a publicity stunt or just a story out at the time.

I myself was quite a baseball fan during the years of Ruth and Gehrig. In my hometown the brother of a fellow high school student was signed by one of the big league teams.

It has been a while but I think his name was Harry Bracheen [Brecheen]. Then also during that time I filmed a wedding where a big league player was the Best Man. Also when Lou Gehrig was ill, he was much in the newspapers and I followed those stories.

as time went on, one could not be certain that Lou willingly accepted his role as second banana. With each act of hellraising and carousing, Ruth won laughs and widespread tolerance, while Gehrig, received only condescending applause for his commitment to duty.

Much stage managing always accompanied Ruth’s yearly contract signing. Few, however, paid much attention as Gehrig quietly signed on with the Yankees. Gehrig increasingly objected to Ruth’s public declamations against Yankee Manager Joe McCarthy, a man Lou Gehrig almost revered as a second father. To

One Pharmacist’s View THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, OCTOBER 24, 2013-PAGE 5

My haphazard articles of “One Pharmacists’ View” started long ago when I inserted medical advice in my ads about medication problems. I sometimes strayed off into editorializing about other concerns that struck my fancy. I got letters and emails. One advised me to stick with medicine and leave my other advice out. Another advised me to get more into politics since, in his opinion, my medical advice “sucked.”

More recently, in response to an article in which I related that my eye doctor up at the VA prescribed Johnson’s Baby Shampoo to be used to clean up my eye she described as full of crud, a reader wondered if it’s what the eye beheld or what might actually be in the eye. I was inundated with email (2) about this and am sad to report that one eye is now sore. So

Medical Advice, Sudsy eyeball, & German U Boats

you “I told you so” guys can be happy.

I often am corrected about the “facts” I write about. I try to get my facts at least 80% correct leaving me a little room (20%) for the parable. My story some time ago about my mom pulling out the choke on the family ’35 Ford one Christmastime in 1943 when gasoline was severely rationed set off a little talk—about the war and the rationing that went with it. So here we go on another tangent.

After the war started on December 7, 1941, it took a little while for America to realize what a pickle it was in— commodity wise. America had been a land of plenty. You could buy anything you had

the money for in those days and we thought of ourselves as exceptional. Suddenly, after the outbreak of war there was talk of rationing. German U-Boats roamed our shores at will sinking boats carrying coffee and other stuff from South America. Meanwhile the Japs had cut off our supply of rubber leaving us with only 8% of what we had to have.

A lot of people rushed out to Sears and bought themselves an extra set of tires—while they could. All car manufacturing ceased and showrooms were soon empty. Buying panics during Christmas resulted in rationing on gasoline, coffee, sugar, meat, butter and fat.

Why fat? Well it was used in the manufacture of explosives.

Tires were simply unavailable. Synthetic tires were not invented at this point. What tires there were went to the military—the same military that went around and seized what those tires hoarders had bought that Christmas.

Scrap-iron drives provided an unbelievable amount of iron and steel for the defense effort as well as making a lot of “Pop” money for kids who gathered it up for a penny a pound. Roosevelt set the national speed limit at 35 and while many didn’t pay much attention to it at first, we all did when the tires wore out. A lot of people had to put their cars up on blocks (no spare parts) for the duration and they gave their gas stamps to their pastors to help out their church families with emergencies. I think it helped out with church waynebullard@sbcglobal.net attendance. Our old car’s tires chosen people saying, “These had so many “boots” (crude people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.

How many of us D.V.M profess with our mouth to be followers of Jesus Christ, yet we worship God only if we want to or when we desire and as we choose?

Light from God’s Word

Mark Legg, Allen church of Christ After explaining that she had to be up at 5 AM for work during the week, she added, “Sunday is my day to sleep in!” Of course, she is not alone. Many people consider

Sunday to belong to them and so they can do the things they like. However, the Apostle John spoke of Sunday as the Lord’s Day. (Revelation 1:10) Should it not be used for the Lord?

The failure to recognize and submit to the Lord’s authority is man’s greatest failing. Isaiah wrote, “We have turned everyone, to his own way.” (53:6) We seem to be head-strong and self-centered creatures who want to do our own desires and pleasures rather than submitting to God. Even in worship, man has sought to do his own thing, worshipping God as he desires. Jesus upbraided even those who were God’s

Ordinary folk got a windshield sticker with an “A” while more important folks sported a “B” sticker. The “A” would get you 4 gallons a week most of the time, a “B” was worth 8 gallons a week.

The Coveted “C” was for doctors and other VIPs. Rationing ended in September of 1945 but it was about 1948 before you could walk into a cardealer’s showroom and buy a new car in any color or shape you wanted. Food items such as sugar and coffee were soon plentiful as were the long missing Snickers and Milky Way candy bars.

Be sure and go to Church this Sunday—God never rations His many blessings. And be thankful we live in a land of freedom and plenty.

Penny said just standing they’re looking at the Grand Canyon seemed so peaceful and soothing while in awe of God’s perfect art work.

Atwood Church of the Nazarene

Sunday was another beautiful fall day. With all the rain we have been getting the leaves are turning into a colorful display. We are getting ready for our Fall Bazaar, which will be held Saturday, November 2nd, from 9-2 in the fellowship hall.

You can get your pies, breads, candy, etc. for the Thanksgiving holidays.

During our church service Sunday, the Atwood Group

sang “There’s Still Power in the Old Rugged Cross.” A great song with a wonderful message. Bro. Larry’s sermon was entitled “The Righteous Will Live By Faith.” Salvation is available to everyone. Paul had discovered one of the most important aspects of God’s loving character. He loved everyone, not just a select few. His grace, which was first shown to the Jews, was not limited

to them. By Martin Luther’s time this aspect of free grace had become forgotten. It was believed that one could only be forgiven through the church.

Salvation cannot be earned by anyone. Paul proclaimed that salvation was the free gift of God to all who would believe in Christ. It was almost too easy, too simple. Some 14 centuries after Paul had written these words Luther rediscov-

ered them. In that moment, the world changed! the “reformation” began and Protestantism was born!

Salvation is the cornerstone of the Gospel. The power of God for salvation rests in Christ alone. Our forgiveness, our righteousness, our holiness, our hope, our future is in Christ alone. Once Luther began to fully grasp the depth and reach of God’s love

nothing could stop him. He believed that scripture was the ultimate authority and Christ alone could forgive.

Salvation enables people to live transformed lives. Luther rediscovered what Paul had learned: Jesus makes all the difference. As Christians we boldly proclaim that Christ makes all the difference!

Baptist Church Our Lord’s Day at Harmony Missionary Baptist Church of Gerty began service with singing Rescue The Perishing, Great Is Thy Faithfulness, and Glory To His Name.

We were blessed to have Tammy and Myron Lockwood in service. He sang Ten Thousand Years with us and Tammy sang How Long Has It Been.

Devotional Reading was “Sounds of Forgiveness,” Psalm 32:111. Adult Lesson was “Driven to Shame,” II Samuel 13:28-39, 14:23-15:10.

Failure to forgive and restore someone who errs can drive him to more shameful acts. Seek to lead those who sin back into fellowship and a life of righteousness. “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such as one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself lest thou also be tempted,” Galatians 6:1.

Youth Lesson was “Disciples are Imitators,” Ephesians 5:1-2.

This should be our desire toward God. As Christians, we should want to imitate Him. Myron sang with us I Need No Mansion; Tammy sang It Is Well With My Soul before the morning message.

Bro. David’s message was “Being Read When Christ Returns,” Matthew 25:1-13. “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh.”

We miss Sister Billie and Bro. Marsh in service. We are praying their health will be better soon.

We pray you have a good week and may God bless you!
