Keller-| : Bible Words for Today LUKE 5:24 — “But that you may know that the ‘Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins” — he said to che man who was paralyzed—"'l say to you, rise, take up your bed and go home.” (RSV) © s From the Christian point of view, such things as ‘disease; poverty, ignorance, superstition, war are’ symptoms of a deeper malady which the Bible calls sin. To say, however, that these things are symptoms is not to imply that they can be ignored. It is only to say that they must be dealt with on two levels, They are like the surface” sores which need alleviating care but also require’ that the bloodstream be made pure. Jesus showed the way. He brought into the| (world a concem for oppressed humanity. He sub- stituted active sympathy’ for lazy apathy in the pres-! f i i} rosy because He wanted ‘only manifold expressions ‘ence of suffering. He fed hungry men. Hé cured feet 4 people to be whole. He ‘opened blind eyes. He illuminated darkened minds and hearts. But, with Him, these ministries were of @ redemptive grace that ‘touched the inner’eore of men’s being and made them jato aew creatures. for membership into the Florida-) | Georgia.

The Lesson’ - Sermon entitled “Mortals and Immortals” includes the account from the Bible of how Christ Jesus restored to life the only son of. the widow of Nain| (Luke 7: 11-16), Explaining’ the basis of Christ Jesus’ healing power, the follow- ing passage will be read from “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Jesus never asked if disease L Dr. Jesse R. Wilson American Baptist Foreign Mission Society New York City ~ Human Problem, Frustration, Is Theme Of Coulter’s Talk How to deal with the human problem of frustration will }e dealt with in the sermon at thp''First Presbyterian Church jorrow morning.” : The text will be taken from the First Book of Kings, which re- counts the experience of Elijah the Prophet after his great victory over the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel, 3 ost Elijah fiad everything for. which to be thankful, but his great victory was overshadowed by his own re- action, That feeling of frustration came when he realized: that the victory had not been all to his own advantage. F There is a lesson in the experi- ences of the ancient prophet that has a strange and moving parallel in the lives of many today. We see our victories turned in to seeming defeat by actions of others and by our own weakness. Review Continues At the evening worship hour the continuing review of “The Pil- grim’s Progress” will be given. To- morrow night sees Christian con- tinuing his journey to Mt. Zion. He comes to the Plain called “Ease,” and confronting - a hill called “Lucre Hill.” Here Christ- ian meets one of the most human temptations to befall him on his journey. Lucre is another ‘name for money — the Pride of: Life has already beset Pilgrim, can he overcome this latest temptation? Come and hear. Many people have noted that al- though this. book was written three centuries ago it has the sus- Pense and action of the latest best seller. and Hollywood thriller. The minister was asked last week, will Christian finish his jour- ney? Will he be stopped short of his goal? The answer will come in the final chapter to be given one week from tonight. : Youth Meeting The Youth Fellowships will meet in the Church Social Hall for their Vesper Program at the regular hour tomorrow night. Interest in the General Assembly, to be held at Montreat, North Car- olina, has been running high. The Sunday after the return of the Min- ister to the pulpit a resume of the work and action of the Assembly will be given. The high light will be the vote on Church union... Schedule for the Week: ; The Women of the Church will hold their regular monthly meet- ing in the Social Hall Monday night at 8:00 p. m. The Choir will meet for practice on Wednesday night at 7:30 p. m. On Thursday night at 8:00 pi'm. the officers and teachers of the Sunday School will conduct their regular business meeting. n health, never gave drugs, never prayed to know if God were that a man should live. He stood man, whose Life is be immortal, and knew that has not two lives, one to Prayer-Will Be Stressed By Touchton Pastor of the First Methodist Church J. Paul Touchton, has an- nounced that he will continue on Sunday morning his series of ser- mons on Victorious Living. Mr. Touchton’s topic will be “Victor- ious Living Through Prayer.” Prayer is rather a common ex- perience of life. For sooner or la- ter all people feel the need of cry- ing out to some personality bigger than they are. One of the chief difficulties that we face is that too much of our praying, like too much of the rest of life, is done from selfish desires, We can afford to look long and carefully at the teachings of Jesus on the matter of prayer. The pray- er commonly called the Lord’s Prayer has been used so often that we too easily forget its full mean- ing and importance. Evening Service At the evening service, the pas- tor will speak on the topic “Spiri- tual Versus Physical.” Too often we have thought that there was real conflict between these two phases of life. Both are good and both are of God. Everyone has more or less control over a portion of the physical world. When that control is resurrendered to God, peace and happiness come within. At the morning service, the Choir will sing “The King of Love My Shepherd Is” by Shelley. “I Was Glad” by Waghorne will be the evening anthem. Mr. Willis Walker is director of the choir. Mrs. Ruie Roberts is organist, The worth of a state, in the long tun, is the worth of the individuals composing it. —John Stuart Mill. ‘Knocked Down Religion’ Is Rogers’ Topic | “Knocked down Religion” will be the sermon topic Sunday morning at the 8:45 early worship service at the Islander Drive-in Theatre on Stock Island. The ‘hot-rodder’ likes to strip his car to the bare necessities for show and speed. He then becomes too often a nuisance and a menace to society. The modern automobile is built for comfort, convenience and utility. It gets you there and gets you back — ‘generally. But the stripped automobile, like ‘knocked down religion’ is more for noise and show. This was so evident that one of the minor prophets was moved to ask, “Will a man rob God?” During this service families may attend and enjoy the service in the comfort of their own éar. With the children of the family, they can participate in the service with- out the trouble of finding a baby- ‘sitter or worrying abut the chil- dren bothering other. worshippers. The Church of the Rock invites you to worship with them. Service at Chapel The eleven o’clock ‘service will be held at the Chapel, 535 Francis Street. The sermon topic at this service will be, “The High Cost of Christianity.” ' In this day of bargain hunting the tendency is to get all we can for as little as possible. Naturally we generally get what we pay for. That is especially true with reli- gion and there can be no bargain- ing with Christianity. Sapphira and Ananias tried it. Any others who have tried it have been doomed to death. The early disciples were asked to give up their lucrative business, families — all for Christ and they confessed, “we have for- saken all.” (Matthew 19:27) Such self-denial assures one of eternal life. : . The Sunday School at the Church of the Rock, 535 Francis Street will begin at ten o’clock. An excellent staff of teachers.are always pre- sent to welcome new scholars. Those without a church school are invited to visit this school. Individuality is everywhere to be spared and respected as the root of everything good. —Jean Paul Richter.
