| Latin American Baptist Plans Special Mother's Day Program May 9 is Mother’s Day and every Christian institution celebrates this date ¢ither in memory or in honor of mothers. ‘ This year the Latin American Baptist Church is preparing spe- cial programs both at the English and Spanish services for mothers. Special recognition of mothers will be made, and a gift will be pre- sented to each new mother present that day. For mothers who are members of the congregation, * beautiful corsages will be made and presented that day. _ Hence every mother present will be recognized, Being a special day for mothers, the Latin American church invites all mothers for spe- cial worship this day. Children To Assist One of the phases of the pro- gram will be that of the kinder- garten children singing in their new choir robes and having a spe- cial part on the program. “See your child, attend church with them, and as a mother, pre- pare yourself spiritually for the task of helping your child to be- come a strong believer in the Lord Jesus,” church officials urge. Sunday the Rev. O’Briant will preach on “An all powerful Sav- Before preaching service the us- ual Sunday School with Gene Bak- er as Supt. and Chief Traylor, assistant will have classes for all who wish to worship the Lord in Bible study. There are classes for all ages in both English and Span- ish. Sunday School is at 9:45 and immediately following is the prea- ching service. Everyone is invited to vist and invite friends who are not going to any church. “Dust In The Air” Is Church Of Rock Topic “Dust in the Air” seems to be the habit of the day. When some folk get downright disgusted or angry, when they hold a loathing contempt for an individual or a movement, they spit, others ex- plode verbally while some throw dust in the air as did the Jews when they heard Paul tell the dramatic story of his conversion. “Dust in the Air’ will be the serman topic Sunday morning at the 8:45 service held by the Church of the Rock at the Islander ‘Theatre on Stock Island. One has only to listen.on the radio, to read the headlines in our newspapers to conclude that there’s plenty dust in the air. With a little moisture dust turns to mud and mud-sling- ing is a growing popular sport. Religion Should Guide Any religion is supposed to knock off the corners and smooth the rough places along the road of life. It is designed to guide the thoughts and actions of men to- ward peace and the comfort of security. Christianity is especial- ly fitted to produce this end. When religion fails to, serve some parti- cular need of humanity, then it becomes an anchronism of the past, and is doomed to extinction. Whether oné be a day laborer or a dictator with all the resour- ces of the state at his command, his very existence depends on how he serves. Witness the arrogance of Hitler, the self- sufficiency of Napoleon, or the self -righteous- ness of Ananias, the High Priest when Paul was arrested, and we see them reduced to contaminat- ing dregs of society as time and history reads the verdict. He who thinks “himself to be something when he is nothing. , deceiveth himself,” and they are the ones who throw dust in the air to con- fuse the rabble simply because those like Paul decided there was too much of old Satan himself in the church of his birth and de- cided to withdraw. and unite with the group ‘under the banner of the Carpenter from Nazareth. Chapel Service The Church of the Rock will hold another service in the Chapel at 535 Francis Street at eleven o’clock. Mr. Rogers will use as his sermon topic at that hour, “What is that to you?” While Pet- er was curiously interested in Je- sus’ relation to the other disciples, he was soon told to mind his own business. Even to this day we find far too many trying to run other people’s affairs for them. Jesus gave Peter the shock treatment when he told him to mind his own business, “what is that to you?” A wise old lady once told me that she knew a-man who got rich minding his own_ business. The Church of the Rock also of- fers a splendid Bible School be- ginning at ten o’clock and the teen- agers will be interested in the Youth Fellowship meeting at 6:30 p. m. Service families and visitors will always find a most cordial welcome with any or ail of these groups. Adventures are to the adventur- ous. —Benjamin Disraeli. Saturday, May 1, 1954 aie ‘ Bible Words fi THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 5 ROMANS 7:24,25—"‘Miserab'e wretch that I am! Who will rescue me from this | xdy of death? God will! Thanks be to Him through ‘esus Christ sur Lord!’* (Moffatt) Few men of any generation have lifted the veil to the inmost sanctuary of their personality as did the apostle Paul in the severth chapter of Romans. He told how his desires fought against his will and overcame it,’leaving him a frustrated, divided per- sonality. He would do good but ended up doing some kind of evil. He was weak. He knew it and con- fessed’ it, This great man looks so much like the rest of us that we seem to be carbon copies of him. “I am a miserable wretch,” he cries. ‘Who will rescue me from this corpse of death?’? he impa- tiently asks, Then remembering, ‘‘a very present help in trouble,” he shouts triumphantly, ‘God willl’? Here is something for all of us to remember—"'God willl’? “God will help, and that right early.” “If God is for us who can be against us?’’ So, ‘'Thanks be to Him through Jesus Chris! “We are more thai conquerors through Him that loved us.’” Dr. Ralph G. Schell Executive Director, : World Council Assembly Committee, Chicago, Ill. Book Of Job Supplies Theme At First Presbyterian Church The Book of Job will form. the background for the morning ser- mon at the First Presbyterian Church at the regular worship ser- vice tomorrow. The Book of Job has been called “The finest thing ever written.” This is because of its literary com- position and the clear light it throws upon human trials and their issues, It teaches men to retain faith — thru trust in God’s order of things. Job cherished absolute depen- dence upon Divine ‘Goodness. It was with this confidence that he used the text of tomorrow’s ser- mon taken from the 23 Chapter and the 10th verse of Job “But He Knoweth The Way that I take.” Evening Worship At the evening worship hour the series on Pilgrim’s Progress will be continued. Interest in the book has been growing as indicated by the congregation and by the fact that many people have bought the book for their own libraries. In to- morrow night’s Series, Christian the main character in the book, comes to Vanity Fair. It was pointed out in the sermon last Sunday night that- many ex- pressions used in our converstion come from Pilgrim’s Progress. This book has made a great con- tribution to the religious and lit- erary life of the Christian world. Youth Activity The Senior and Pioneer Youth Fellowships will meet tomorrow night at 6:30 p. m. under the lea- dership of their Adult Sponsors. The Youth Vesper Services follow the pattern worked out by the Board of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church. y The Church Choir will continue to give its support to the Worship program of the Church thru the coming months. The growth of Key West and its summer tourist sea- son are expected to continue the same fine congregations which has characterized the First Presbyter- ian Church for the past year. Plans for the Summer Bible School are being laid with various organizations of the Church co-op- erating. The school will be ‘under the supervision of the Session com- mittee headed by Dr. Harold C. Campbell, from First Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Hugh Duggan, Chair- man of Religious Education for the Women of the Church will be in charge of teacher recruitment for the project.
