SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON @y RALPH ROGERS , Key West housewives are excel- lent cooks. Just sample their food and the next question is, “‘do you have a recipe?” They usually do. Jesus gives a most acceptable des- eription of the Christian Life in the Beatitudes (Mat. 5:1-12) the basis for Sunday’s lesson. Those who have tried it testify that it really gives more than it promises. Books are being written, maga- zines and newspapers are always telling us how we Can have happi- ness. And this the year 1952. Near- ly two thousands years ago the promised Messiah came back from the wilderness where he had fasted and prayed forty days, and found the multitudes disappointed, sor- rowful, frustrated and lost. Jesus knew the deep necessities @f the human soul. He saw the fev- erish search for happiness. On a quiet hillside in Galilee Jesus open- ed his mouth and began to show them the road to happiness. Those who have tried it confess that it has never failed. All modern re- cipes for happiness are based on the Beatitudes, Many will be disappointed when they find that happiness is not the sum total of pleasures. It is the re- fult of inner attitudes. Happiness is a quality of life and expresses Mself in action. The Christian is one ‘who speaks kindly of his fellowman Doosting his virtues while others scoff and lay bare his weaknesses, knowing full well his own short- @oming. To be poor in spirit means il absence of false spiritual pride. Another example of this spirit is Hy ft ERs get . 2 A g27e pel i = : e il 1 Layman’s Day Set At First Baptist Church Here Sun.

The Roman Catholic prelate, first Filipino archbishop in history, was credited with having done much to solidify Filipino resistance to the Japanese during the occupation days of World War Two. Archbishop Reyes entered the hospital here for treatment on Aug. 28. Attaches said his condition wor- sened suddenly Thursday and that e died shortly after daybreak to- day of a complication of ailments. Ultrafax is a word in electronics meaning high speed transmission of the written word. shown in the parable of the two men who went into the temple to pray. While we do not expect to mourn when we get to heaven, Jesus perhaps meant that often good comes from what appears to be evil. It is false to think that bles- sedness comes from ease and com- fort. Jesus called himself “meek and lowly in heart.” That does not mean weakness, ignorance or in- feriority, but rather an attitude be- fore God, not men, Mercy tan be exercised from a purely selfish mo- tive. When one does so expecting returns it becomes selfish and rates no reward. On the other hand the man who shows mercy because of deep spiritual riches, raising the fallen, feeding the hungry, visit- ing the sick, showing forgiveness, is highly rewarded. * The merciful are blessed largely because they have pure hearts. “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart.” (Psa. 24:3,4) That means the sins of impurity blinds our eyes to God and prevents us seeing harm and evil in gam- bling, swearing, adultery, or any other transgression. Of course the impure lose the very beauty and power of God. The peacemakers rate a high standing. They are called the “sons of God.” The quarrelsome, those with tongues like daggers or with chips on their shoulders are not blessed and are outside the family of God because God is a God of peace. All these attitudes can be deve- loped in a cave or a monastery, but the Christian is to let his light shine. Jesus warns us that we will be persecuted for righteousness sake for which we should, “Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven.” “Conversion Of Saul” Is Theme For Rev. Rogers Sermon Is Second In Series On Life Of Saint Paul At Ist Presbyterian One of the most remarkable in- cidents in New Testament history, outside the Gospels, is.the conver- sion of Saul of Tarsus. He was a most dynamic and effective advo- cate of what he considered the Law. The fact that he switched from Judaism to Christianity so suddenly, makes his biography read like fiction. The occasion of his conversion will be the subject Sunday night beginning at 7:30 in the First Presbyterian Church, White at Washington street. The =| message will be illustrated with pictures which are considered most realistic. The conversion of Saul is the second in series of topics dealing with the life of St. Paul. Those who saw the picture, The Stoning of Stephen, remember quite clearly the sinister part taken by Saul of Tarsus in his vain effort to stamp out the followers of the Way. The stoning of the first Christian mar- tyr was only the beginning of a fanatical but futile effort to destroy Christianity. Following the stoning of Stephen Saul renews his zealous effort to wipe out what he considers a nost dangerous movement. A spy re- veals the new meeting place of the Christians and they are attacked at night while praying for the for- giveness and the conversion of Saul. Saul stands by a window gaz- ing out over the city at night and he hears the whispering voices of the dead and persecuted. The men- tal conflict is short lived and we find Saul seeking authority to pro- ceed to Damascus where it has been reported the Christians are fleeing. On the way he is stricken with blindness and he finds himself helpless in the hands and at the mercy of those whom he sought to destroy. The -morning service will be- gin at 11 o’clock and the Pastor will preach on, “Faith must be lived.” If @ person should touch a live wire he does something a- bout it right now. He is not like- ly to say that he'll take care of that little thing tomorrow. His life depends on immediate action. If one professes faith in Chris- tianity, it is as potent and exac- ting as any force on earth. It means that the man who believes will take such action as will give him spiritual life here and here- after. Faith must be lived to be impressive upon one’s self, his neighbor or his Ged. A man can very easily foo! himself but he is not fooling his neighbor or God. Just.as there must be a spark to start a fire, so do we need the pro- per stimulus to move us to action spiritually. That stimulus often originates in the home, the church or the school among friends, It is a matter of keeping up with our neighbors. If they believe in some- thing worth-while, we are likely to follow suit, Our faith in commun- ism is dampened considerably by the privileges denied members of and the danger encoun- the way. Faith in God which offers the abun- life eternal in Nursery School Set At First Congregational The Sunday program of the First Congregational Church will begin with the session of the Sunday School at 9:45. Joseph Boza, super- intendent will be in charge. A new class for young married women who bring small children will be organized with Mrs. Emma Albury as teacher.

This nursery will be supervised by the women of the Adult Bible Class. Mrs Vernon Lowe will be in charge this Sunday morning. “The Land of Room Enough” is the sermon subject announced> hy the Rev.
