Will Liberty-Loving Americans Awake In Time?

By Loum D. NEWTON,

Chairman Executive Committee af Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation

of Church and State

"Eternal vigUance is the price of liberty," declared a wise man in the long ago. Our forefathers realized this, and acted accord­

ingly. Will liberty-IQ_ving Americans awake in time to safeguard the liberties which our fathers have passed on to us? •

Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Ch1.1.rch and State, organized in Wash­ington in January, 1948, and now generally re­ferred to as POAU, earn­estly appeals to all liber­ty-loving Americans to awake to the sinister en­

croachments up.on the cherished citadel of re­ligious liberty in numerous situations through­out our country and particularly in Senate Bill 246 Section SiX, now pending and likely to be-voted upon immediately. I quote a reso­lution adopted at our meeting in Washington,

'January 27, 1949, and beg _ every reader of this paper to communicate immediately with your Senators, urging them to vote for the amendment cited in the following re­solution:

· The issue of the separation of church and state immediately con­fronts us. The Bill 246 now pend­in Congress lends itself to an inter.,_ pretation which makes possible the use of Federal funds for parochial schools. POAU takes no position for or against Federal aid to public edu­cation, but speaking in the name of Protestants, Jewish and other Ameri­can groups, POAU respectfully calls upon Congress to defeat the attempt of the Roman Catholic hierarchy or any other church group to secure public funds for parochial schools as permitted by S. 246, Section Six. We further urge that in Section Six, page 7, line ten, after the words "ex­penditure for" the word "public" be inserted.

I have only to remind you that within the past year court action was necessary to stop the Roman Catholic hierarchy from prac­tically taking over a number of public schools in New Mexico, in which case the presiding judge declared, "There is no separation of church and state here;" and to cite the pres­ent situation in numerous public schools in Missouri; and the referendum in North Da­kota to ban nuns from teaching in the public schools in ecclesiastical garb, to convince anyone that the issue is clear and challeng­ing. And if anyone doubts the avowed pur- . pose of the Roman hierarchy in the United States, let such one study the manifesto of the hierarchy, issued on November 20, 1948, entitled, "The Christian in Action." The hour of destiny for religiolis liberty has struck.

Will we awake in time? ~-----0001-------

Steps To Greatness By CHARLE:s A. WELLs

There is no mystery about how men be­come great. You can prove it for yourself­right where you live. As you work, play and follow the usual course of your life, if you focus your interest on others, by every thought, word or deed, putting your concern for others before self-interest, you will · im­mediately begin to draw people to you. If you crown your love for others and service to others with humility, you will have start­ed a process of life that will expand endlessly. You may never leave your immediate com­munity, but you will find your opportunities continuously deepening and · widening. Or you may reach far beyond your community,­the extent unto which your life is used de­pends upon God's purpose and your own wisdom and ability, but the general trend of your life will be fixed inevitably. Jesus re­vealed this secret about greatness long bt:fore the modern world awakened to its truth. "He that shall be greatest among you · shall be a servant of all."

Catholics Ask Federal Aid For Parochial Schools

]Jy REucmus NEWs SERVICE Roman Catholics of the Harrisburg diocese

have been asked to write their congressman to urge Federal aid for parochial schools.

The letter-writing campaign, sponsored by diocesan members of the National Council of Catholic Women, was announced at Masses in alflocal churches. The following "model" letter was read:

"Certainly both public and non-public ~schools are eligible claimants for Federal aid

to education. Both types of schools are in­tegral elements of the American education system. In both types parents may comply with their duty under the compulsory edu­cation law$ of the states. Both types grad­uate citizens who are qualified for public of­fice, and who are ·subject to their country's call for military service. '

"In terms of justice, therefore, one may say quite accurately that non-public schools are entitled to Federal funds for the very reason that they, like public schools, serve

· the public interest. "The very least share of Federal assistance

we Catholic parents expect from the new Federal aid law is a provision of funds to fur­nish essential school service to pupils, such

' as transportation, health aids, and non-re­ligious textbooks."

(We have repeatedly called attention to the pres­sure af Catholics for Federal grants to their schools. America had better wake up, or it will: find our Federal and State governments financing Catholic schools, tlie amy purpose of which is to teach 'the Catholic religion.-Editor). /

/ only A Voice A Devotion by the Editor

"I am the voice of one crying in the wilder­ness, make straight the way of the Lord."

A strange figure appeared on the banks of the Jordan. In personal appearance he was unlike his contemporaries; he bore a likeness to certain characters of the past, particularly to Elijah. His dress was meager and of the simplest sort. His long, unkempt locks be­spoke the vow of a Nazarite. His cotintenance was 'eloquent with the unmistakable signs of long and profound meditation in the silence of the desert. His eyes sparkled and flashed with a vision of eminent and revolutionary events. His voice was resonant with hope, eloquent with promise, stern with rebuke, inviting, appealing, and yet bristling with blasts against wickedness and sin.

It is not surprising that a sensation was created. People gathered from far and near to see and hear this unusual man. There was something about the man himself and his message which seemed to come from the prophetic ages of the past, and at the same time which spoke for the present and the future.

So the Sanhedrin sent a committee to in­vestigate John and find out what he claimed for himself. "Do you claim to be the Mes­siah? they asked. He emphatically denied any such claim. "Are you Elijah?" whose return was promised, they inquired. Again the answer was, "I am not." "Then are you that prophet?" refering to the promise by Moses. "No," he replied. Having received no satisfactory answer which they might re­port to those who had sent them, the com­mittee then asked, "Whom do you claim to be? What have you to say for yourself?" He replied, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the LC)rd."

At the moment of his greatest popularity, when his fame had penetrated the remotest villages of the country, when his name had become a household word, and when all this popular ·movement was supported by age­old and profound religious and national hopes -just in such a moment as this John de­clares himself to be only a voice proclaiming the arrival of s.nother. When all eyes are focused upon him, he cries, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."

"He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias" (John 1 :23).

FEBRUARY 10, 1949

From the Editor's Desk

Southern Baptists are "revival conscious." Plans are being formulated for g r e a t and ;;weeping revivals throughout the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention.

There are local church revivals, city-wide revivals, association-wide revivals; and plans a.re now under way for promoting an evangel­Istic campaign in all the states east of the Mississippi River, and then a like campaign in all the states west of the Mississippi River.

Southern Baptists have been called "revival­ists" by certain self-styled religious highbrows who seem to think that a certain stigma at­taches to the term "revival." But this sorry world would be sorrier still were it not for the religious revivals of history, some of which swept nations and even continents.

Solomon in his dedicatory prayer, recorded in I Kings 8:22-53, anticipated the need for revivals; he gave an unfailing formula for re­vivals, and: visualized the results of revivals. Sin

There are certain things which create the need for revivals, all of which may be summed up in one word-sin.

Over and over this wise man r in g s the charges on sin as the one thing that creates the need for revival: "If any man trespass against his neighbor"; "When thy p eo p 1 e Israel be smitten down before the enemy, be­cause they have sinned against thee"; "If they sin again!)t thee and thou be a n g r y with them."

It is to be noted, and a point which we are In danger of overlooking, that it is the sin of God's people which brings on the drought of spiritual life and creates the need for a re­vival. The word "revival" itself implies the re­newing of God's grace in hearts that have been in touch with God but have lost their zeal. The conversion of the sinner is called a new creation. Neglect

Hand in hand with sin goes the neglect of religious practices which keep the fires of the spirit burning, Thus the effect of sin is two­fold uPOn our lives, for while it· is causing the corosions of wickedness and guilt to accumu­late, it is also causing the cleansing powers and forces of the spirit to diminish.

Captivity Sin brings personal blight, defeat, and all

kinds of distastrous effects. When God's peo­ple forgot Him and wandered into sin and wickedness, there followed business depress­ions, with their poverty and want; disease and pestilence, With their death and sorrow; thus enervated, they were an easy prey before their enemies who mastered them, oppressed them, and carried them away into captivity.

Tum Away From Sin The very first condition in the formula for

a revival is, "tum from" your sins. Here again Solomon 1s speaklng of God's people.

It is, not the sin of the ~utside world that brings defeat and failure and disaster to the people of God; it is their own sin. The first condition of victory, triumph, and the forgive­ness and blessings of God is for the people of God to tum from their sins.

Revivals .have never failed to follow when Christian people repent and tum from their sins. The individual Christian who turns from his sins will experience the reviving fires of spiritual life. And when the number of Chris­tians is multiplied and a great host or an en­tire church membership turns from its sins, the revival spirit sweeps an entire community.

That must be the first step we take in prep­aration for a revival. If repentance grips our hearts and we tum with determination from our sins we may expect the beginnings of a revival in our midst.

Tum to God The second thing Solomon names is the

confession of God, or the turning to God. "When thy people Israel-tum again to thee, confess thy name," are the expressions used by Solomon. Turning to God and trusting in Him follow repentance and turning from sin.

In these two steps the foundation of a re­vival is laid. The channels of grace are un­clogged and opened so that the divine bless­ings can flow freely into our hearts. This is the only possible way to ejtperience a genuine revival of, spiritual power and the renewal of the grace Of God.

Necessity of Prayer The third necessity is prayer. "When thY

people Israel-pray, if they pray toward this place, what prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel." Such expressions indicate the emphasis which is placed upon prayer. And there is no better fuel for revival fires than the word of God. The reading of the Bible was responsible for a great revival in Ezra's day.

The church that turns from its sins, turns in simple trust to God, devotes itself to prayer and the readfug of God's word, will experience a great revival. Are we w11llng to p a y the price?

God Will Respond Solomon visualized the results of such gen­

uine spiritual exercises by the people of God and incorporated those results in his prayer.

God will hear . the prayers of His people when they meet the conditions of repentance and faith and cry to Him for cleansing and forgiveness. He will forgive their sins, He will heal their land, and maintain their cause.

Notice the order: Hear their prayer, forgive their sin, heal their land, and maintain their cause-their cause is to ~ identical with the cause of God.

Sectarian Holidays Legalized · The Congress of the United States is being

pressured into action on two religious move­ments which, if the Congress should act, wotild further break down the wall of separation of Church and State. A joint resolution has been introduced in the Senate and in the House of Representatives to name the fourth Sunday in September each year as "Inter-Faith Day." This is a clever and yet obvious undertaking on the part of unionizers to secure the sanc­tion of the United States C o n g r e s s for a unionizing movement, and to put the United States government b e h in d the unioni.zing movement. Such action violates every prin­ciple of religious liberty and of the separation of Church and State. It should be vigorously opposed by every freedom-loving Christian in America.

Another bill introduced in the House of Rep­resentatives would make Good Friday a legal holiday. This is of the same pattern of the joint resolution already referred to.

Not all the Christian denominations of the land observe Good Friday. This bill would take a day which is observed by a limited number of denominations and give it the sanc­tion and backing of the Federal government. These two movements indicate the studied, de­liberate, and determined effort on the part of certain groups in the United States to involye the government in religious matters to the ex­tent of supporting the present movement to­ward union of denominations and setting up religious daya as holidayS, legalized by the Federal government.

These trends constitute one of the most se­rious threats to our cherished liberties and principles of separation of Church and State.

-------1000----w e Didn't Think It Could Happen

In America One of the most shocking movements in

American history was the signing of a petit­ion by several hundred "New York Protestant and Jewish cl1:!rgymen" to influence the New York legislature to "legalize mercy killings of incurably ill patients." We didn't think it could happen in America.

Groups of ministers from different sections of the country have vigorously protested the action of these ministers and Jewish Rabbis of New York. The petition of the s e men shocks every sensibility of the Christian con­science of civilization and of decency and re­finement. How any person could bring himself to sign such a petition is beyond our imagi­nation to conceive.

It is rightly .... described as characteristic of a pagan society and· is revolting to the Chris­tian consci-ence.

fires had gone out. The only way to rekindle the fires was to find a hearth where the fire was yet aglow. Their search was fruitless until at last they found a flaming hearth away on the J;illl. One by one they came to this hearth and lighted their torches and carried them home to relight their own hearths.

Are the spiritual fires burning low among us? Has the chill of worldliness settled down upon us? Is there anywhere a heart fire by wWch we Play reU~ht QUI' torches?

Kingdoni Ouachit~ College Running On Its

Income By B. L. BRIDGES

The business manager of Ouachita College, Leonard Price, says that Ouachita College is operating within its income. The committee on audits also reports that a balance sheet as of November 30, 1948, "shows the ratio of cur­rent assets to current liabilities of 1:20 to 1 :00." This is a fine and encouraging report. A great institution that can so "watch its cor­ners" and keep its expenditures within the bounds of its reeeipts in times like. these· de­serves our confidence and praise,-and our financial support.

Calvary Baptist Church, ·Bay City, Texas, and Pastor c. Clayton, recently had the serv­ices of Evangelist Dan Vestal, Fort Worth, Texas, in a series of revival services. There were 26 additions to the church by baptism and nine by letter.

The Luxora Church has just completed a Sunday School Study Course, with an average of 22 in attendance. The books,studied were, "When Do Teachers Teach," and "Six Point Record System and Its Use." These books were taught by Joe Olive and G. C. Driver.

The store sponsored a contest in which 2,:-000 votes were given for each pair of old shoes turned in when buying a new pair. Winners­of the contest received special prizes.

"The store was glad to give the shoes to us," Mr. Johnson said. "When I contacted him about the matter, he explained that he had been wondering about what he would do with all the old shoes. Now that the word has gpt­ten out that we have these shoes, it has ·been reported to us that the Emporium Shoe Store has conducted a similar contest in Youma, Arizona, and has a like number of shoes they are willing to give to the relief program.

Call to Breakfast-and to Prayer By DUKE McCALL

"Breakfast is ready!"

As long as I can remember that has been the call to family worship in my parents' home. I do not know whether they ever tried

any other h o u r of the day for family . worship. I do know that hour n e v e r passed any day without Bible read­ing and prayer at the breakfast table.

As I think back, it must have been ex­ceedingly difficult to maintain that fam­ily altar in my

home. There were five children. Some of us bad to be pried out of bed and pushed off to school. Others bounced out at 5:00 a. m. It did not matter, however,·if one of us was try­ing to rub his eyes open while another dis­played his impatience to be off by nervous squirming, there was time for Bible reading and prayer. Perhaps I should have said, time was taken for Bible reading and prayer.

Maintaining a family altar takes determina­tion. Somebody has to believe that the. daily worship of God is important. At least one member of the family must be convinced that a soul will starve without food as quickly as the body. Then just as much effort will go into maintaining a family altar as goes into arranging three meals a day. Someone needs to be convinced that gettinJ the children off to school to learn the truth about two plus two and how to spell "receive" is less import~ ant than a few minutes with the Book which reveals Jesus who is the way, the truth, and the life.

There is just no way to maintain a family altar unless somebody wants to keep it going.

"Family Worship Every Day In Every Bap­tist Home" -slogan of Southern Baptists' cam­paign for 100,000 new family altars-is a great spiritual goal.

l World Baptist Youth Congress By C. OsCAR JoHNSON,

President, Baptist World Alliance

One of the most important meetings of the summer will be the assembling of Baptist youth in Stockholm, Sweden, August 3-9.

f it is very important that from all over the United States and Canada, plans 'be made early for a large delegation from every con­vention and section to attend this important Congress. Already half a dozen groups have been organized for this trip. Some of tbem are already filled. The important thing for you to consider in your particular area is the setting up of plans to assist as many young people as possible to attend this important meeting.

The future of the world is in the hands of its youth and we like to believe that its safest future is in the hands of Christian youth and Baptist youth are among the most important.

The attendance upan these meetings will give a wider vision to our young people, will send them back to their various communities inspired to do more than they have ever done to assist the world that is in desperate need. Churches and pastors should co-operate with any young person who is desirous of making this journey and attending these meetings. We should make careful selection of our fore­most leaders, urge them to go, and, wherever necessary, assist them.

Dr. Frank H: Leavell, member of the Execu­tive Committee of the Baptist World Alli­ance, and also secretary of the Youth Com­mittee of the Alliance, 161-8th Avenue North, Nashville, Tennessee, will be glad to give any information and help that is needed in mak­ing plans to attend this Congress.

The Baptist World Alliance is tremendous­ly concerned in doing all in its power to en­courage our Baptist youth around the world to affiliate themselves with this great world movement. The united effort on the part of Protestants is to be commended. Baptists have ecuminicity all their own and that should encourage Baptists to attend this Con­gress and to help to inspire the young lead­ers to do a great work in the years just ahead. No more important meeting for the life of young men' and women in our Baptist churches has been held, or will be held, for a long time than this one in Stockholm. It will be inspiring, informing and very import­ant in the life of the world. It is the hope of the officers of the Alliance that it will be one of the best meetings ever sponsored by us, or by any organization connected with our Baptist fellowship.

All aboard for the Stockholm meeting. We are awaiting the requests and inquiries so we may assist. Do not hesftate to call upon Dr. Leavell, or the Alliance office in Washing­toz;t, D. C.

Missionary Cowboy Band Leader

By EuGENE SCHoOLEY

Hundreds of thousands of Americans across the continent, parade spectators, football fans and rodeo-goers have watched big, handsome Charles Sikes lead the Hardin-Simmons Cow­boy Band, Abilene, Texas, in its colorful per­formance. To them the drum major, with his shaggy chaps and big white hat, is· a master showman, typical of the happy-go-lucky, gay, swaggering Cowboy show. '

But back on the Hardin-Simmons Univer­sity Campus, faculty and students know that Charles Sikes is a quiet, serious fellow, intent on preparing himself to be a missionary to India. He has done his undergraduate work, is now studying for his master's degree, and plans to go to Southwestern Seminary, Fort Worth. Texas, to round ou,t his preparation for mission work.

For Sikes it will be "going back" to India. He spent two and a half years there as a sol­dier, a sergeant with the air force weather wing. While there he felt his first urge toward mission work. Since coming to Hardin-Sim­mons he has made his decision to spend his life prPaching Christianity in that strife-rid­den land.

"1 Had Rather See a Sermon •.. " By HUGH A. BBIMM

There were about fifteen Negroes waiting to get on the bus when it stopped at Twenty­first and Walnut. They were laughing and talking as they moved past the fare box and took their seats.

The bus pulled away and moved quickly on down the street. Sea~ed just behind the driver on the side seat, I saw the attractive young Negro woman when she got up and moved to­ward the front. She dropped a token in the box with a quiet explanation tO the driver, "I thought my friend was going to pay my fare when we got on together, but I found that she didn't." .

I breathed a prayer of appreciation because the "sermon I had seen" was as effective as many that I have ·heard in church. The ser­mon subject that day was ..• "Integrity.''

Bill Seeks Curb on Violence Over Radio: A measure designed to prohibit radio broad­casting of "deeds of bloodshed, lust or crime" has been introduced in the Wisconsin legisla­ture in Madison. It is expected to be widelY supported by church, parent, and civic groups, according to Religious News Service.

Meanwhile, it was learned that several mem­bers of the legislature are preparing bills in­tended to limit the circulation of comic books regarded as harmful to children.

The broadcasting, proposal, introduced by Senator Taylor G. Brown of Oshkosh at the request of the Lutheran Ladies' Association, would amend laws covering obscene language and publicity. .

It would provide penalties for anyone who broadcast "any story, description or account of deeds of bloodshed, lust or crime, other than a current news event, or any program, dis­course, conversation, ballad, expression or other utterance containing any obscene lang­uage, description or suggestion tending to the corruption of morals."

The measure would also provide that state and county probation and social welfare offi­cers and workers m a k 'e complaints against violators.

Facts of Interest When President Truman took the oath of

office as president, his hand rested on two Bibles. One was open in Exodus at the Ten Commandments and the other was open at Matthew 5. Mr. Truman could not read the Ten Commandments in the large Bible for it was written in Latin. The large Bible, given by the citizens of lndependence, Missouri, is a facsimile of the original Gutenberg, and cost $5,000 to produce. The small Bible which was open at Matthew 5 is the American Standard Version. The small Bible is the same one used . when Mr. Truman was sworn in the first time, April 12, 1945, after the death of President Roosevelt.

Despite efforts to perfect a code of editorial standards, Dr. Frederic Wertham reports that the number of comics dealing exclusively with crime have increased from one-tenth of the total to one-third of the total within the past year. During 1948, he reported 120 new crime comic titles. ' '

A 70-year old French merchant has given $6,000,000 to Oxford, because he felt the Eng­lish school produced better results in the way of moral qualities. He liked the "grit" of the Oxford graduates who. had worked for his con­cern.

It is estimated that there were 1,850,'000 marriages in the United States in 1948, com­pared with 2,000,000 in 1947, and the all-time peak ·of 2,300,000 in 1946.

Of the 178,000 babies delivered by mid-wives in the United States in 1947, 72 per cent were among non-white mothers in eleven Southern states. The number of mid-wives in the Unit­ed States has decreased from 62,'000 to 21,000 during the past 25 years.

And if it has worried you, a men's magazine now reports that 60 per -cent of the men do not wear suspenders, 53 per cent

1do not wear

hats in summer, and only 40 per cent of the U. S. men shave every day.

TB Patients Seek Funds For Chapel: A state-wide appeal for additional aid in rais­ing $50,0'00 for an all-faith chapel is being made by patients at the Kansas State Sana­torium .for Tuberculosis, near Norton, Kansas.

The project was launched more than a year ago to furnish increased worship facilities and a place on the sanatorium grounds where workers and ambulant patients might be as­sured a quiet place for uninterrupted medi­tation.

With $11,549 on hand, public contributions are being sought from every county in the state, and from the home town of each pa­tient. Tbe chapel needs also will be presented to the Kansas Legislature this year.

At the present time, worship services are conducted in a reception room, which also serves as a classroom, meeting room, movie and music room. Services are broadcast over an interbuilding system for patients who can­not attend.

Architectural plans for the proposed chapel include improved broadcasting facilities to reach the bed-ridden and ample space for the sanatorium's employees a n d ambulant pa­tients.

The chapel will serve 665 employees and pa­tients who comprise the sanatorium commun­ity.

Georgia Baptists Plan Record Evangelism Campaign: A thousand ministers and lay­men, representating Geo~ia's Baptists, pledg­ed their support to the "most comprehensive and thfllrough-going," evangelistic campaign the state has ever seen.

A goal of 30,000 new members for this year, 40,000 for next year, and 50,00'0 for 1951 was set by the three-day conference on evangel­ism.

Dr. C. E. Matthews, General Superintend­ent of Evangelism for the Southern Baptist Church, stated that 4,000 Southern Baptist churches duririg the past year-500 of them in Georgia-failed to report any additions bY baptism. He made an appeal for "improve­ment on that record."

26,000 Church Fires Reported In Ten Years: There were 26,'000 church fires in the United States and Canada during the ten years from 1938 to 1947, it was disclosed by the National Fire Protection Association, Boston.

Many of these fires resulted in total destruc­tion of the churches involved, according to an Association publication entitled "Churches Are Burning," a pamphlet containing, an an­alysis of 300 church. fires.

The statistics indicate that 65 per cent of the 300 church fires given as examples occur­red during the five winter months. "This rec­ord points directly to defective heating appat'­atus (a seasonal hazard) as the principal cause of church fires," it was said.

However, the pamphlet pointed out, "the fact that 105 fires, or 35 per cent, occurred during th~ spring and summer months empha­sizes that other hazards are present which are not of a seasonal nature. A fire prevention and protection program for churches does not permit a period of relaxation."

According to "Churches Are Burning," the average church fire cost $65,941.

Jesus Faces Opposition By MRs. ROLAN:» LEATH

In the lesson last week Simon and other followers came to Jesus in the solitude while He prayed in this quiet place and entreated Him to come again into Capernaum, for "all men seek for Thee," they said. Jesus' answer was to reveal to them the necessity of going into other places and preaching there. Leav­ing Capernaum, He preached throughout all Galilee. A leper was cleansed and was told to say nothing about his healing, but the glad-hearted man _published it abroad. As a result of this, and many other instances of miraculous healing, Jesus was followed by great throngs of men, women, and youth.

The opposition which began early in Jesus' ministry came, for the most part, from the Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes, and Herodians. These. were the highest religious classes and the ones who ought to have gladp received the Messiah, foretold in glowing terms by their own prophets. These opponents were pious, zealous keepers of the Law, outwardly very correct and perfect, but they had not the Spirit of God within their hearts.

Jesus Forgives Personal 'Sin Jesus returned to Capemaum and to the

.house that served as a central base for Him; many believe it was the house of Simon Peter, graciously given to the Lord for a home. The news of Jesus' return to the city spread rap­idly and a great crowd gathered before the house. Mark tells us that four men came into the crowd, carrying a man sick of the palsy. This dread disease rendered him absolutely helpless; he was a paralytic, impotent, in­active, dependent upon others to get him into the presence of Jesus. Four friends loved him, wanted to see him healed and co-operated one with the other to carry him into the house.

The friends were met by the obstacle of a huge crowd; they could not possibly get through to carry the bed of the sick man into the room where Jesus stood. They did not give up, but their faith found a way. They went upon the roof, probably by using stairs outside the house. Tiles were removed from the roof and by using ropes or some other device the four friends lowered the palsied man until he lay at Jesus feet. • Jesus recognized the effort and faith of

the four men and did far more for 'the sick man than they ever dreamed He would do. Jesus knew the man's heart and life; He knew his need for forgiveness of sin, and that need was met first. Jesus also recognized the thoughts of His critics and demonstrated to them that He had the power to save from personal sin the same as to heal the physical body.

"Son, thy sins be forgiven thee-" the words were like rain to a parched plant as they

·fell into the heart of this man whose illness was probably the result of sin. We can imagine that the bodily discomfort meant little now that such a burden was lifted from his heart. But Jesus, knowing the reason­ing within the hearts of the scribes nearby who were saying, "Why doth this man• speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?" turned to ask them a question­"Whither is easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?"

Proving His power, Jesus gave the man complete restoration-soul and body- and he walked out of that house, a-lorifyini God.

Sunday School Lesson for February 18, 1949

Mark 2:3-8, 16, 17,; 3:1-6

Jesus Seeks the Sinner They cnticized JesUs for eating, talking, and

walking with sinners. Aren't you glad He does? He seek us even today from the crossroads of the world and offers the healing power of salvation to sin-sick humanity. We are not to take part in sin, but we are to seek the company of sinful me~ in order to show t:tulm the way up and out of sm. We are not to draw our "ecclesiastical robes" about us and walk by on the other side when we meet peo­ple in sin; we have what they need--salvation.

The first occasion of hatred and enmity toward Jesus on the part of these saintly hypocrites, was His claim that He could for­give sin, and the second occasion was His stand toward sinners. Matthew, the publican, was called by Jesus to leave his tax off1ce and fqllow Him as a disciple and friend.

Matthew gave a huge dinner for his new Master, invited his friends tO come and see Him. This indicates his .change of heart and also fans the jealous antagonism of the ene­mies of Jesus. They asked of His disciples: "How is if that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?" What a rebuke to the Pharisees and what a challenge to us in the answer of Jesus-"They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners." The doctor goes into the hospital and sick room, not because he enjoys it or because he is not aware of the danger, but because he has a remedy and a longing to help

, those in need.

Jesus Heals On the Sabbath Day Jesus had been criticized for permitting

the disciples to pluck corn upon the Sabbath Day, and He had spoken memorable words: "The Sabbath was made for man-the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath." His Lordship included the Sabbath and He taught by precept and example how the Sabbath should be observed.

Now "they," meaning these censuring, self­righteous religious rulers, watched Him to see if He would heal on the Sabbath. Haven't you seen critical, blinded men watch every move a person makes in order to find fault? A man with a withered hand• was in the syna­gogue which Jesus entered to worship. Jesus went straight to the heart of these critics before healing the poor shrunken hand of the suffering man. He asked them if it were sinful to do good on the Sabbath and law­ful to 'do evil or even plot to kill.

Jesus was grieved because of their hard hearts and obstinate wills and was moved to righteous anger against them. But toward the man in need His compassion caused Him to say, "stretch forth thy hand." Instantly it was restored. The worshippers left the synagogue with conflicting emotions--the man with the withered hand was beside him­self with joy, many believed on Jesus, but the Pharisees went out and took counsel together with the Herodians as to how they might destroy Jesus.

She served a number of years as W. M. U. Field worker prior to completion of her studies at the Woman's Missionary Union Training ·School, Louisville, Ken­tucky. During the five years she has been with the Home Mission Board she has observed almost every phase of Home Mission work and has a heart-stirring message for her every hearer.

G. A. Conference will be ·held at Central College, North Little Rock. The total cost of the Conference will be $6.50. The first official ses­sion of the Conference will be a banquet Friday evening, March 4, at 5:30 p. m. Watch next week's paper for further details. There will be many interesting features.

Plan Well For Observance Of Week of Prayer For Home Missions

Program material for use dur­ing the Week of Prayer for Home Missions, February 28-March 4, 1949, is in the mail. Time is fleet­ing, and should your Society or· Auxiliary fail to receive material, please advise the w. M. U. office immediately. If you are a new of­ficer, check with your predecessor and then drop us a card in order that our mailing list InaY be cor­rected.

Arkansas' offering goal is $15,-0'00; the South-wide goal is $1,-000,000. That calls for a worthy of_­fering from every organization. Plan for it. Pray about it. Then give as you are Spirit-led. Dr. J. B. Lawrence, secretary of the Home Mission Board, challenged our best when he said, "Our needs have never been greater nor our oppor­tunities more challenging than now. Home Missions is funda­mentally more important in the world program of "Christ now than ever before. The evangelization of our homeland and the mobilization of the evang-elized are necessary to the progress of the gospel in lands afar. As someone has said, home and foreign missions are alternate beats of the same heart of love, but home missions is the first beat. An evangelized homeland is the promise of a world's evangeliza­tion."

~cui '11/inning 06jecti~e· Among the objectives adopted at

the recent State-wide Evangelistic Conference was one on soul win­ning, as follows: One baptism for every twelve members in twelve months. It is a worthy objective,( one that should be stressed in every church.

In 1947 Arkansas Baptists had one baptism for every 17 members. But in 1948 a better record was made with one baptism for every 15 members. Is it expecting too much of our churches to look for­ward to having one baptism for each 12 members this year? Cer­t::j.inlY a church with 60 members ought to win five people to Christ. A church with 36'0 members ought to win and baptize at least 25 peo­ple.

This should be a great year in soul winning. The fires of evangel­ism were kindled at the Evangelis­tic Conference. Many associations have set up their plans for simul­taneous revivals. Each church should realize that the main thing is to win people to Christ. Com­znittees are appointed for various things in the church, so why not organize and then agonize to win souls? What will your church do?

It would be a splendid thing for every church to have a poster of the soul winning objective in every conspicuous PI9rce in the building.

Associational Goals for 1949 An associational program that

is worthy of support has some defi­nite goals. Below are the goals Missionary V. E. Defreece and Greene County Associations are striving toward for 1949:

1. A bigger and better monthly Worker's Conference.

A copy of one of the gospels, written in the language of country to which package is goin~. is plac­ed in each box when available. The boxes are prepared for the Center at cost by a leading wholesale gro­cer.

More than one-tenth of the world's children, not counting adults, are hungry. Would you not lik eto send a HOPE box?

Does your association have any definite goals?

Pastoral Supplement Fund There are no more funds for

pastoral a i d. Approximately 50 churches are now receiving help in paying their pastors. The amount allocated to these church-

. es will, during. the year, consUine the $12,000 budgeted for this type of work. The state budget has $60,­ooo set up for the Mission Depar.t· ment. The Mission Comimttee feels that it cannot afford to spend over $12,000 of this amount in supplementing pastors' salaries. It will be necessary, therefore, to tum down all further applications until these 50 churches become self­supporting.

By T. D. McCuu..oCH State Secretary

An organized program of visita­tion was agreed upon at the Pre­School Retreat, two days previous to college registration. Under the leadership of the Enlistment vice president, each council member pledged to use his Thursday eve­ning every week for definite visi­tation. The officers, teachers, and leaders of the Sunday School, and the Training Union join them for definite assignments, announce­ment of coming activities, for free literature to distribute, and a word of prayer together before going out.

Results-yes, always when we go, they come. When the check-up was made the immediate results were a 27 per cent increase in Sun­day School attendance, 69 per cent in Training Union, 205 per cent in noon-day devotions. More than this, it became coll,!:!giate to visit for the Lord's -work. It was easy to talk with students about God. All Baptist Student Union programs, social and otherwise, gave themes­sage of Christ its rightful place.

Using a -plan he called the four R's, another Baptist Student Un­ion Enlistment vice president led his campus to an all-time record in enlistment.

Ready-included his organiza­tional set-up of committees led bY the Enlistment vice presidents of the unit organizations-Sunday School, Trainilig Union, Y. W. A., Young Men's Brotherhood, Life Service Band, the Publicity com­mittee, and the Baptist Student Magazine Sales Committee. A list of all Baptist, Baptist preference, and non-Christian students enroll­ed in the institution was secured.

Rush-students were greeted in the registration line, on the cam­pus, in dormitories, at the Student Center, at a B. S. U. booth on the campus, and at a Baptist Student Union welcome social. Each stu­dent who promised to attend the Service Band: the Publicity com­unit organiZation, was tagged to so indicate his intentions. Much was made of "Join the Church Day" and other special _occasions.

Recruit-a following up of rush week actiVities was made with defi­nite individual contacts. Assign­ments were definite, and reports

of visits were required. A set time and place of meeting for assign­ments and prayer before going out proved to be most important.

- Retain- attractive, worshipful Sunday School and Training uri­ion department programs, timely, well-taught, Sunday School les­sons, good programs in the Train­ing Union, and a warm welcome at

·church services were necessary. A fellowship after church gave a boost. As many students as possi­ble were used in different phases of the church work. "Use them, or lose them."

Other Enlistment V i e e Presi­dents Testify-"We have learned that we get best resUlts by using a veteran to enlist his fellow stu­dents in his village. It works the same with other special groups. and in other housing units."

"I find that we must know our fellow students if we are to enlist

. them. Some must be contacted ear­ly 'in the week; others must be awakened 15 minutes before time to go."

"A waffle breakfast reached 30 that we had never been able to reach otherwise. Eight of these be­came active workers. Most of the others attend Sunday School reg­ularly."

January Bible Study Week was observed in a 1 a r g e number of churches, with most of these churches using the book, "Studies in John's Gospel." Some churches which did not find it convenient to have a study course in January, are using this same textbook for a course of study in February. This is a good study course· book for any month of the year, and espec­ially at this time since the Sunday School lessons for the first · six months of 1949 are based on the Life of Christ.

Mr. Leath had felt that he should be relieved of this position in view of his many other duties, but has been persuaded to re-consider and to lead the associational music education program among the churches of Greater Little Rock for another year. The state music director asks that every one of the 24 churches in this area give to Mr. Leath full co-operation in the promotion of Hymn-sings and other phases of music education.
