Highlights Os Sermons Delivered By Decatur Preachers On Sunday

New Years was the general theme ot the sermons preached in Decatur Sunday. Excerpts from some of these follows. First Methodist Episcopal church. Herman R. Carson, mlnistw: '‘A New Year should give rise to ■crloua reflections. Os what avail l«t a new leaf to he turned if we proceed to blot it like those already turned? We need God in our journey this coming year. The startling and tragic tact which makes dark our present outlook is that the nations of the earth, including our own. have not mentioned the will nor the way of God in all their plans tor recovery "But a Christian can face ever a dark and tragic outlook with hopo and confidence, for he has •God with him in all his ways.” Rev. C. M. Prugh, pastor ot tho Zion Reformed church spoke on “The Adventure in Real Religion." His text was "And now, behold. I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem. not knowing the things that shall befall me there,” from Act 20:22: “Religion for many people is a thing totally devoid of anything like adventure.. There is no thrill in It, no daring, nothing ot the heroic in It. Some arc saying that the Christian gospel has lost its radiance. Hut it was not so at the beginning. The disciples who saw Jesus coming recognized him as 1 one who had broken with the dead i past and who was setting forth on ■ an adventure. ‘Come after me. and I will make you fishers of men.’ | wouldn’t that be thrilling, to catch i men? Just to read that record) makes the blood leap in ones vains. i “There are few unexplored coun-j tries left in the worlt today. But | the spiritual realm is as yet an un-! discovered country, a region that | is only beginning to be explored. ) Rev. 11. W. Franklin, pastor of ■ the First F. B. church spoke on j "Wasted Yesterdays.” His text i was Genesis 40:13: "I saw a recording angel with . pen in hand and ink horn at his girdle writing in a book. It was a l>ook of only three leaves marked ; respectively. ‘Yesterday', ‘Today I and ‘Tomorrow.’ When 1 asked why there were only three pages he answered. ‘Because the longest | life is only three days long.’

I “There upon I besought me of i my lost yesterdays. Blessing 1 had i I slept in God's watch care. "Tomorrow, will Its sun rise and I shine and me boast not thy self of ■ tomorrow, thou knoweth not what a day will bring forth. 1 "I turned once more to the book I of remembrance leaf entitled, to- * day. The record was blank save I for one great word written in let-’ ters of gold. ‘Opportunity’." I Rev. A. B. Brown, pastor ot the • Baptist church discussed gratitude) for the past and faith for the future: "Even the casual observer, as he ■ picks up the Decatur Daily Demo-' crat and reads "Chronology of j 1934” becomes retrospective and prospective at the junction of the 1 old and new year. "Relative to the past, may we out of gratitude unceasing like Samuel of Mizpah, commemorate God's loving kindness toward us at • the passing of the year. "Relative to the present, faith in Christ treads without fear to meet the beckoning year. reassured by the voice of the ages. ’Lo. 1 am with you’. "Relative to the future, faith in Christ takes courage and cbwps our God-given heritage. 'My presence shall go with thee'. "Resting on His promise, what have we to fear? God is all suffi‘cient for the coming year." | Rev. M. W. Sunderman, pastor of the Evangelical church said: “Jesus, tho Great Teacher alI ways began with life, as He found ' it. In the very mass of world eonI fusion and* sinful indulgence He i discovered the gems of eternal ) worth. Heaven’s richest possessI ion can only come to a soul emptied of self. Every blessing that I i Jesus spoke about in His sermon I l on the Mount was conditions upon I )a long term of faith. The teaching )ot’ Jesuu makes Salvation possible Ito all. but He never made it easy. “The teaching of Jesus, pertain- ; ing to peace and war was very ’specific. The sword can never bring peace. “As we bid adieu to 1934, may ( ‘ we do so with a sincere regreat of ' our selfishness, sin and failure, and approach the new year with a ■ happy trust in Him who is our ' Master. Leader and Teacher.’

He said the argument that the payment would stimulate recovery , had been disproved by analysis of wha veterans did with the sl.690,000,000 they have borrowed on their certificates. “It was found that indebtedness created by the veterans prior to the payment was liquidated, and the money advanced to veterans went to clear that indebtedness rather than to create new business,” the President said. He called attention to the vast sums spent for recovery and relief of all in need, veterans and uonveteraua, and said "as you no doubt are aware, a very definite and distinct preference is given to veterans.” BEET GROWERS CONTINUED FROM PAG It ONE the directors of the Central Beet Growers.

DRYS TO LOBBY STATE SOLONS Indiana Anti-Saloon Longue To Battle Flow Os Liquor Lafayette, Ind.. Dec. 31. —(U.R) — A determined lobby of the 1936 I legislature by the Indiana Anti- ! Saloon League to "halt the flow of millions of dollars from embarrassed family budgets into liquor channels,” was assured by L. E. York, superintendent of the league, in an address here Sunday. York asked that the legislature: give the youth of the state •‘serious consideration" in dealing with the liquor traffic when it drafts a new set of regulations. The noted dry leaders charged that Indiana spent $80,000,000 during 1934 on liquor, much of which I came from families, who were add-) 1 ed to relief rolls as a result. "Three billion dollars have been ) diverted from decent business and; given to saloon keepers who thrive : at the expense and injury of the people," York said. "The sale of intoxicating liquors has resulted in more drunkenness I and more people killed or injured i during the past 12 months than ever before in the history of the country. “More money has been spent on liquor than the government has spent on relief during the past year.” Directing his appeal for legislation “to protect our youth." York said “thousands of young people are encouraged to form partnerships with narcotic racial poison from which many never recover.” “This session of the legislature cannot say it does not know the appalling conditions as recorded in the press, but they see with their qwu eyes flagrant violations of law carried on daily by the criminal , liquor traffic,” York said. ’’The people are going to give i our law making body this import- i ant chance to show its hand, and if relief isn't given, the matter will be carried to the polls in the next election.” '■ '* — 1 '■ u - FREEZING RAIN CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE a slight gr.de three miles north of here.
