Rev. Touchton To Preach | Sun. On ‘Babes In Christ? Ave Welcome At EVENING TOPIC IS “STEWARDSHIP OF THE MIND” AT FIRST METHODIST CHURCH On Sunday morning the pastor’ topic will be “Babes in Christ’ ‘Too many Christians are like ba bies. They don’t know nor do they | understand the riches that are| @eirs in full trust in Christ. The @fogram of the Christian church is that of carrying. The riches in Christ that have! come to us here in America. Some will argue that our progress in this age is due to the skillful, patient experimentation of the scientists. | ‘They fail to understand that men} had to wait for these advances un-! til they found the laws which Godj had written into the hear of his world. As a child with an expen-| sive dangerous toy so this age is/| in danger of self-destruction. That | is unless we learn how to be ma-! ture in our thinking as one of the| @erty leaders in the Christian} ehurch did. There is a great need for Chris- tians who will put first most im- portant thing in first place in their | lives. As our forbears did a cen- tury or more ago sought to do we must labor to make it easy to d wight and hard to do wrong if we ate to prove ourselves worthy of | the good that has come to us. In the evening worship ervice the @ple for the pastor's sermon will be “Stewardship of the Mind’’. Too} many good minds go to waste| 80 far as progressive righteousness is concerned. Worse yet too many are using God-given talents to Prove a curse to the welfare of man. The very fact that we have | Teasoning power puts us into debt to the God who it to us. In the morning service the choir will sing Recessional — DeKovan end in the evening Be Merciful un- to Us—Von Berge. Mr. Wilber Phipps will be guest organist. Baptists Plan Educational Center Here Three Story Building To Go Up Soon A three-story educational center | for the First Baptist church on | Eaton street is being planned by he congregation, it was announced to- day. 3 The Building Committee of the Church met last week to discuss | the structure which will be CB: and will house meeting rooms for adults and‘ youth alike. The Rev. Harold H. Link, pastor said. A committee has been appointed to investigate building codes pri- or to any further steps. Chairman of the building committee is Lee | Skaggs. Other members of the} committee are Roy H. Alderman, | chairman of the board of deacons; A. 0. MeMasters, Joe Gates, Don Thomas, Lt. Comdr Jot Muschaw, | and L. A. Daniels. ‘The Baptists hope to get finalized in the next few weeks as that building can begin in the near fu- | ture. The exact location of the ed- | ‘tacational center will be between the church and the Gene Otto man- | tion on Eaton street By 11 the production of y enmity between men and between * Bible To Be | Emphasized By Pastor Sunday Rev. Rogers Will Preach Twice At Ist Presbyterian The Fall program at the First Presbyterian Church is beginning | in earnest with emphasis on the}! new Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible. Sunday evening at eight o'clock a movie produced by | the American Bible Society will be shown illustrating “The Work Of} The Word.” This film. has been | Prepared especially for the publi- | cation date of the new revised ver- | sion. On Sunday night the 28 Sept. there will also be a special display of bibles which will be of interest. The public is invited to these spe- cial esrvices. Mr. John Archer, the Superin- | tendent of the Sunday School, has | rranged for a special film strip ith musical ac¢tompaniment, which will be shown to the Sunday | School a week from Sunday. The | children, as well as the older mem- bers of the school, are all interest- ed in the transition of the bible} from the original Greek and He- brew into the modern versions. Mr. Archer wishes all to know that) there are classes for all ages. At the 11 o'clock morning ser- vice the Rev. Mr. Rogers will con- tinue his sermons on prayer. The subject for the Sunday service will be “answered prayer”. The bi- ble itself is full of incidents where prayer has brought relief to many. This modern age has been spec- ulating on the power of prayer and it is well understood that only those who have experienced the pulsating power of the Holy Spirit can testify of its effect in the lives | of men. The skeptic and the scorn- ful cannot know because faith and | belief is absolutely essential to ef- fective prayer. Many have referred to this as be- ing a “slick world.” What they are trying to say is that the greed and} selfishness of too many Americans accounts for the envy, hatred and nations. In the field of religion that is called sin and this is a repug- nant word If our difficulties, our fears and frustrations, are due to sin, then we should seek some means of rid-| ing ourselves and the world of this poison. In fact men have from | the beginning of time associated | | sin with their personal an dnation-| al difficulties Jesus, “who did sin, this man or) his parents that he was born | blind?” (John 9:2), he would make} his confession to some rabbi and} often found relief, Elaborate rules | to guide those who receive such | clinical confessions are found in} the Talmud. James gives a simpl-/ er and perhaps more effective means of relieving sinful mankind | when he, “Confess your faults one! fo another, and pray for one an-/ other, that ye may be healed. The/ effectual fervent prayer of a right-/ ous man availeth much.” (James/ 5:16). It is difficult for the stiff necked and proud modern man to/ humble himself and confess his sins | The disciples asked | plastic materials had grown to More than 428 million pounds Salad greens are an ideal food for people who want to cut down on their caloric intake, as it takes ebout 1% pounds of them to yield 100 calories of energy. Their starch tontent is low. | So long as that attitude prevails prayer cannot be answered. Mrs. Price the organist will use for the opening number “Prelude by Lynes, for the Offertory “Ada gio” by Page. The special music by the choir wil be the Anthem | Jesus my Savious, Look on Me”, | by Nevin “The Signs Of The Times” Is Sunday Topic Rev.

Beginners and Primary children meet at the Service Cen- | ter and others in the canctuary of the church. There are classes for all ages.

The choir under the direction of Gerald Saunders will sing an anthem called, “Ye Believe in God" by Sexton. The minister will begin the first of a series of Sun- day evening sermons on the general theme: “Some Stories Jesus told.” The first of these will deal with “The Empty House.” The Woman's Auxiliary 1s spon- soring a Sox Social which will be held at the Service Center, Friday night Sept. 26, at 8:00. A variety program will be presented and re- freshments served, A Minister Goes To Church By Rev. Charles H. Meeker An old saying has it that “when the mailman takes a vacation he | @oes for a walk.” So when this year he found it quite desirable to } 80 to church on Sunday, sit in a pew with his wife, and listen to the other fellow up in the pulpit. | This indeed was one of the delight. ful experiencess which my recent vacation trip brought to me. Our itinerary of visiting frineds and relatives in the midwest took us into nine different states out- side of Florida. We made our vis- | its in four of these states and cov. ered over six thousand miles to do it. Our first Sunday away from home was spent in Lansing, Mich- igan where we went first to see my mother who will be 91 in No vember. We took U. S, route num- ter 27 out of Miami and followed it clear thru to Lansing. That route extends clear to the Straits of Mackisac& as many know, That Sunday morning we attended ser- vice at the First Presbyterian Church where we listened to an inspiring discourse by the former | minister of this church. Years ago (we won't say how long) the wri ter was a Y. M. C. A. Secretary in the city. We had joined the Ply- mouth Congregational Church but had also become members of the Christian Endeavor Society of the First Presbyterian Church. It was with some pleasant remniscences of the past that we sat in a pew of the church again that morning Only now we found a reloc ehureh in a new building more ade quate to present day needs. Later in the month we attended churches in Sioux C lowa, while visiting our younger d oO one Sunday mo: ig we attended the First Congregational Church found the service to be # united service of the First Christ Congregational Churches summer months, On ano: we worshipped at the F dist Church.
