Show The Deseret Sampler, Friday, Sept. 13, 1974 tal insights that will help us to be more effective in our everyday activities as well as our social responsibilities. First, this kind of common sense can help us learn how to distinguish between fact and fiction as we make our daily decisions. Our society has many popular beliefs that are generally accepted as true, but are basically false. This kind of popular wisdom is frequently used to rationalize the existence of blights on our society such as unequal job opportunities (Everyone can get a job if he is willing to work), and discrimination ("Property values go down when minority groups move into the nrigjilxnhood. This kind of popular wisdom is not common sense, it is nonsense. It points to the truth that getting the facts straight is the first step in exercising common sense. Second, common sense calls for people to develop personalities.' Reason alone does not produce a complete person. A person whos completely absorbed by the intellectual aspects of life runs the risk of repressing his emotional needs. On the other hand, feelings alone cannot produce a balanced personality. Overemphasis on the feeling side of personality makes it difficult to engage in healthy criticism of either ourselves or the world in which we live. In short, anyone w ho wants to function as a complete person mast find a way to balance the thinking and feeling aspects of his personality. This balance is the essence of common sense. The conception of common sense outlined here leads to some uncommon insights. It frees us from the blind alleys of popular wisdom because we hve learned to test this form of knowledge with facts. It leads us to blend our reason and emotions into a lialanced view of life which gives us a sense of lieing more effective individuals in times that try mens souls, (to use one of Thomas Paines expressions).

Skinner ( Parable For You Once upon a time there lived a minister who went alxiiit doing good. But there were empty pews in the church. The minister invited people to come and worship God, and they would promise. But there always seemed to be places to go, and things to do, so they did' not go to church. Of course they sent their children for Christian wWatinn their young people for marriage, and brought their older people for burial; they knew the church and the minister were there, and they depended on him occasionally. Then the minister advertised a special event, and made sure that many knew about the day. Jt seemed that something" was going on, so the members and friends filled the church. The organist played and the people read the bulletin; but the minister did not come and they were all nlamwd, The people searched the city, and found the minister in a park reading a book. They accused him of breaking . faith with them, and looking lightly on a great responsi-bilitHe replied, Why have you broken faith with God in the past and left the impression that church is of little import-- 1 ance in life? Will you deny me the privilege you demand for yourselves? They said (Hear this). We pay you to be there, CW4 Whittle Retires We like the area.

Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common Sense," published in January 1776, was the first call for a declaration of independence by the American colonies from England. It was also an important factor in convincing Americans of the wisdom and justice of the growing sentiment for revolutionary action to obtain their freedom. The idea of common sense contained in this historic document can lie a guide to us in the midst of conflicting ideas and demands of modern life. To Thomas Paine, common sense was the la lanced use of reason and feelings in the human effort to achieve happiness. This definition contains some fundamen GOES FOR FOUR MORE SP5 Shored D.
