FOR. 'l‘llE_ BETTER. By Fred liaolsliife .

He was s seif—admiti.ed failure, Then a remarkable and thorough christian experience transformed him into a dynamic and sucoe sfui man. This is the story of Fred Racklitfe, president of Rackliffe Brothers", New Britain, Connecti- cut, ona of the oldest hardware concerns in the state.

Clem Mort:-nsnn and I were close friends and Clem was concerned about the way I was going. He urged me to attend a meeting at which the missionary E. Stanley Jim was spuklns. I didn't ‘know

him from Adam. I Just went to please Clem. I was so impressed with what

Jones said that I accepted his challenge that this nation was go- ing to go Communist. or Fascist unless thinking men went back to the churches and got to work for the Kingdom of God.

I could not wait: to call my min- later the next morning. When I announced, “I am reporting; for duty." he was so flabbergssted he wanted to wait a few days to think it over. I hadn't been going to church at all -- couldn't be bother- ed, just played golf, slept. and raid the paper on Sunday momlng.

Years before i wanted to be a minister, but my in her said to forget it and go into the family hardware business, My getting away from church dated from the time I began to drink. Af.er we got married, we had a family and stayed home and book can of them. It wasn't through any error or weakness; we Just drifted.

“A Good Fellow"

I got started drinking byjust be- ing a good fellow. I wasn't a hard drinker, just drank when out with a group. but then when 1 had one drink I couldn't stop. I never drank alone, but I drank socially. when I drank socially I drank more than I -should. I stopped drinking because I made an awful mess of things one night. It broke me all up and I never took anoth- er drink.

I am afraid to talk too much about my Christian experience on the theory that I will let my ego into it. The minute you start doing that you begin to think you are somebody. Perhips God has iscd me as an instrument: let's look at it that way. Otherwise I will be taken for an awful sleigh ride some day. As long as Rackclilie re- members where his place is. he will get along all right.

I have got to keep my humility and have got to keep it 100 per cent. However, if writing about my experience will help anybody get the great thing that came to me, it will be worth while.

I think from the time I went back into the church on a clean 100 per cent basil and meant what I said. “Not my will but Thine be done". and tried to live the life I should live, from that time on everything checked to my success. Everything flowed toward me id- stead of away from me. I enjoyed happiness I hadn't enjoyed for years. I was released.

Many Things Cleared _Ilp

The minute I turned from the things I had been doing (it was not the Christian life I was living). the minute I started to put my mind on God and on God's will. many things cleared up right away.

I had a terrific temper before. My wife says that I am different to live with now. I feel a sense of control I didn't have before.

You cannot be a percentage Christian. If you think for one

minute you can be as per cent Christian and it per cent unohris- tian. the is pr cent will cause your downfall. You can't make a deal with God. You are either all chris- tian or not-Christian. if you want to be successful. You cannot com- promise. ' When I reported back to the minister, the first job he gaze me was to take charge of the dis- cussion at "The People’: Fifteen Minutes" at church every 'I‘hurs- day night. That assignment mad! me stand up and tell the whole gang why I was hack in church. Then, in order to have the pro- per dlscussiois on the assigned topics. I had to go to see a few people each week before the meet- ing and ask them to help me out in the discussion. In that way I got to know people "and realized that there were a fine lot of poo- pie in the church. I asked them to say something on their favori e scripture passage in the meeting so that I wo'.~lrin't be talking the entire fifteen minutes In this way I got them to talk. I planted ceopls in the audience to start discus- alone. No More Resentment

Perhaps my experience with re- sentment is the biggest thing in my new life. I used to make myself miserable with resentment and ill-will. I read. ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay. saith the Lord." That. gave me the idea that “getting even" is God's business. If you take the same amount of think- ing and planning that you have been putting on resentment. and getting even with somebody and

‘ put it on the positive side. you will

realty get somewhere.

1 pass it over to the lord. and ii relieves rile no end. Resentment passes and inner ‘peace comes.

It is lotidorful to be able to look at'IoInebody else and enjoy with him his success without say-

mteusii. "why is be entitled that." Now I can set a lot of real joy out of other people's ruc- cess. I enioy_it; bask in it. I used to hate it. I used to gel: sun-burn- ed in it. | I don't claim to be a saint. I have times when I would like to ‘throw the whole thing out the win- dow and forget it. such is human frailty. but ovary time I feel that ‘way new strength is given me. I The ability to take critlci m and grow under it is the mark of a man. I used to bridle up. My pride

Christianity isn't just a Sunday exercise. It is an every-day-of-the weeklproposition. I enjoy going to ‘ because the type of sermons I hear in our church are down- to-earth. real. vital, every-fay stuff. They send me out with a spring in my step. Christianity works, It has made everything dif- ferent. I have found my answer.
