With this message the pastor, the Rev. J. Paul Touch- ton, will introduce a series of ser- mons on Jesus, the Christ. The coming of Jesus has been referred to as the supreme event of all history, No wonder it finds so large a place in the calendar of the Christian year. Time calcu- lations date from his birth. God spent many centuries preparing men to receive Himself in human form. Then He who made the earth was rejected. Now as we celebrate this holiday season it should be only after a thorough preparation on our part. In the morning worship Mr. Wilbur Phipps, guest organist will play Le Cygne - C. Saint-Saens for the prelude and Prayer - E. Humper- dinck for the Offertory. The Choir under the direction of Mr. Earl Anderson will sing Consider the Lillies - Scott, Mr. Willis Walker will be incidental soloist. At the 7:30 evening worship hour the pastor will preach ou tke topic: After Death What? This is one of the greatest questions that have engaged men’s minds for many centuries. In the New Testament one finds many comforting pass- } ages for the righteous. At the even-: ing hour the choir will sing: All Hail the Power of Jesus Name - Gillette. First Presbyterian Church ‘Will Ordain Elders Sunday The Presbyterian Church at White and Washington Streets will ordain their newly eiected elders at the 11 o’clock service Sunday morning. Following their ordination they will be regularly installed as ruling elders of the church. At the congregational meeting last Mon- day night the following were elect- ed to this high position of the church, Richard E. Evans, A. G. Sands and Wallace B. Kirke. her prelude at the morning service, Pre-Autumn by Chaminade and for her offertory, Cleanse Me by Ack- ley, Mr. John Knowles, Soloist. The choir will sing My God and I by Sergei. The pastor will use for his theme at the morning service, “Practical Faith.” Too much of our religion is theoretical and visionary. Our best idea and conception of faith as revealed in the teachings and practice of Jesus can be found in observing Him as He was in the flesh. He never used his miracu- lous powers for his own personal advantage or benefit. That is a principle to keep in mind when we read in Matthew 21:21 follow- ing, “If you have faith and never doubt --- whatever you ask, you will receive.” Jesus was consistent in both the spiritual world and the physical world, When he was weak and hungry after his prolonged fast, the tempter urged him to turn the stones into bread. Since Jesus insisted that man does not live by bread alone, the tempter then soared away into the spiritual realm by saying, “if you trust God and thus are going to ignore the demands of your physical nature, why don’t you cast your- self down from the pinnacle of the temple. God will not let you fall Miss Martha Morris will play for The general public is cordially | and you will win popular acclaim.” invited to attend these services of | Again, Jesus would not disregard worship.

GOOD-WILL PERSONS WELCOME | FREE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Jesus’ Law of Doing Good Matthew 12:1:14 by Ralph Rogers Rome was known for her laws and Greece for her culture. Both have crumbled ir the ashes of the has stood the test of time and is personal relations for groups or states. Jesus did complain of the linterpretation of the law but did simply summarized it in what has been called the eleventh command- ment. His law, or interpretation was simply that of “doing good” religious leaders then and even now. ; Fanciful fees by legions of law- yers have been paid for the inter- | pretation of the many laws of the most court cases makes it dif- ficul for even an experienced law- yer to determine who is wrong. Frequently guilty parties escape the penalty through some slight technicality. It is not always a case of right or wrong, of doing good, or evil. One of the ancient cases was that of Shelomith who “blasphemed the Lord, and cur- sed.” He was then placed in cust- ody until Moses decided his giult or innocence and the penalty, The victim was taken outside the camp and stoned to death. (Lev. 24:11 f) The severe penalty in this case seemed to be the guiding principle for future religious interpreters of the law, and prevailed in Jesus d of the lesson today which evoked a storm of protest begins with “his disciples—began to pluck ears and to eat.” It was late April or early May and the corn on the stalk was ripe. It no doubt was one of those beautiful days in Galilee and most glorious in the spring, The ser- vices in the synagogue had been overlong and the disciples were hungry, so they simply plucked an munched them as they walked. They had broken the law. The Pharisees stormed at Jesus, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.” There may be times when one should do good, rather than con- form strictly to the law. Jesus then calls attention to what David did when he was hungry, that of eating the “bread of the Presence,” which was sacred and to be eaten only by the priests. (I Sam. 21: 1-6) The Pharisees probably winced at this for their traditions, their pat- riotism and their obstinancy had all been enlisted in the scrupulous maintenance of the law. The nar- row school of Shammai insisted on the painfully precise and ludi- crously insignificant restrictions which prevented comfort to the sick, Even the preservation of life was the breaking of the Sabbath and to kill a ‘lea was as to kill a camel. The Pharisees worshipped Shammai instead of God. Jesus then told his critics that “The priests in the Temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless,” which was another stunning blow. The scribes taught that the Sabbath laws did not apply to the priests in the sanctuary, The rabbis said, “The servile work which is done in the holy things is not servile.” Then when Jesus declared, “I say unto you, that one greater than the temple is here,” it was like heap- ing coals of fire on he heads of the law-spitting Pharisees. While Jesus himself did not break the law, his claim to be greater than the temple certainly aroused the hostil- ity of the followers of Shammai.

Pre-dating either by some} centuries was the Mosaic law which! today the model for morals and| not improve on the decalogue. He which was contrary to that of the land. The diarrhea of verbiage in Jear, rubbed off the kernels and Jesus outstanding ministry was due to the fact that he always put the welfare of mankind and the sacredness of the person above jany Law or tradition. This is the | whole theme of today’s lesson when | he quoted Hosea 6:6 saying, “I de- sire mercy and not sacrifice.” God jcreated man so therefore man is sacred. Ii man is hungry, he should be fed and while this is a physical act, his spiritual hunger should be satisfied also which is a religious rite. The keeping of the Sabbath is an act of mercy ordain- ed of God to satisfy the hunger of the soul. The Pharisees erred in making it an act of sacrifice. The Son of man is the Lord of the Sab- bath. A mason with a withered hand had come to the synagogue to pray. He could not pursue his trade suc- cessfully with the handicapped hand and when the Pharisees saw this man, they thought that this would be another chance to trap Jesus. Like some folk, the Phari- sees were not looking for the good in people, but something which would entrap them, Shammai had forbidden healing on the Sabbath so the critics chuckled when they saw this opportunity of entrapping the messenger of mercy, The Rabbini- cal law allowed under certain cir- cumstances healing on the Sabbath when life was in danger. Here Jes- us tells them “It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath,” in answer to their question. They could lift a sheep out of the pit on the Sabbath, and of course even they agreed that a man is of more value than a sheep. Still, the Pharisees went out “and took counsel against him, how to destroy him.” Often this is a penalty imposed by man-made laws against those who “do good.” Dr. Walter M. Horton in his ‘Our Christian Faith,” tells a story of a gangster who was shot down on the street by his enemy one day. A Passing automobile stopped and a woman hurried to the side of the wounded man. The gunman with a smoking weapon in his hand shook the shoulder of the kneeling woman and said, “See here, lady, this ain’t none of your business, and if you know what’s healthy for you, you’ll move on, quick.” The woman did not even look up, but said, “Excuse me, but this is my business. I am a nurse. I am bound to go to the help of anyone who is sick or wounded, no matter who they are. Now run along and let me alone.” That is the law of Jesus, Give muffins a sweet topping!
