DEVOTIONAL READING: Romans 8:1-11. • Proof of a Christian Lesson for November 30, 1947 OPEN your Bible to I John 4—5; Second John; and Acts 4:1-13, and you will have the Scripture background for Sunday’s lesson. Add to the above passages Romans 8: 1-11, as devotional reading, and you will be thinking of the unimpeachable proofs of a Christian. Two men are brought before us as examples of Christian discipleship.

Peter and John had been preaching Christ to the people in Jerusalem, and they were arrested and brought before the Sanhedrin. The rulers and priests scolded them, asking by what power or name they had done this. Peter, I filled with the Holy Ghost, answered them:

o Dr. Newton

‘‘Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. . . . Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” And then follows the verse that reveals the proof that these humble fishermen were really Christians: ‘‘Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.” * • • The Lord Is My Helper TN HEBREWS 13:6, we find this 1 revealing statement: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear.” The more we study the words of John in Sunday’s lesson—words that remind us again and again that God is love, that we love him because he first loved us, that when we love him we are made strong in serving him, the clearer we come to understand the incident in Acts 4:1-13, when Peter and John stood boldly before the Sanhedrin, impressing the court with the fact that they had been with Jesus. They were not afraid because they were conscious of the presence and power of God. The Psalmist put it sublimely when he said, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” • • • When We Walk With God THE incontestable proof of a Christian is the manner of life he reveals when he walks with God. “And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, that, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it,” II John 6. When we walk with God, in the light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way! A group of men sat in the University Club in Boston, discussing religion. Someone asked Professor William James to define Christianity. “I will not attempt a definition of Christianity, but I can give you an illustration.” And he pointed to Phillips Brooks. There was no argument. Phillips Brooks was proof positive that Christianity is something vital and practical and real and effective in everyday life. * * • Who Is a Christian? WE COME now to the question which always emerges when we think along this line, Who is a Christian? Look now at I John 4: 15-21. I quote some of these revealing words: “Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him.” We are not certified as Christians □y any man-made creed, nor by any ritual or ceremony. We are certified as Christians by the direct access which every soul may have with Sod, through Jesus Christ our Great ligh Priest forever. Church membership does not nake us Christians. Baptism does tot make us Christians. Anyone may become a Christian, provided he or she is willing to confess their utter lost estate and, repenting of sin, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour and Redeemer. Christ is the Author and the Finisher of our salvation. There is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. "Whosoever will may come." • • • (Copyright by the l»terbati«nal Oblfeil t Religious Education on behalf of dO 'rotertant denominations. Released by VHU Features.) ;

Announces Planting Os 200 Trees In Stratton Place

The planting of approximately 200 beautiful shade trees in Stratton Place was announced today by John R. Worthman, creator of Decatur’s new and modern residential development. The trees, grown near Indianapolis, are the finest hardwood Norway Maple and American Elm, a very fine selection, Mr. Worthman said, and were planted under the supervision of the Beverly Nurseries. Fort Wayne. The planting was completed this week and the trees adorn the home sites on both sides of Limberlost Trail and Porter Vista. This now completes the planting of trees on all streets including the north side of Community Pass which connects Limberlost Trail and Stratton Way at the southern boundary of the present subdivision. The trees are of the long life, hard type, the variety which exclusive subdivision developers have found to be unexcelled for both beauty and shade in this section of the country. Planted In Park Strip Stratton Place enjoys the unique and modern feature of having the public sidewalks adjoin the curb. The park strip, therefore, which is 8 ft. wide, extends from the sidewalk to the front lot line. It is in this park strip that the trees have been planted. No lot has less than two trees and many of the lots have three and four, with the corner lots as many as seven and eight. The trees are advantageously planted about four feet away from the sidewalk, providing shade not only for the sidewalk but also for a portion of the street to protect the parked car from the hot summer sun. Those who have seen the subdivision since the planting of the trees have commented upon the remarkable 'transformation in appearance. The streets, now beautifully outlined by the trees, can be seen from a distance not possible before. The sub division has taken on a will have the devotionals. Average attendance for the week has been much higher than anticipated, according to officers of the Decatur ministerial association which is sponsoring the annual event, and indications are that the last three meetings will break all records. The Saturday and Sunday night, meetings will be held at Zion Evangelical and Reformed church on north Third street. The four Protestant churches with the largest seating capacity are used each year for the meetings. They in-

decided park-like appearance, the trees contributing further beauty and enchantment to the charm of the subdivision. The Kind to Plant The plan, Mr. Worthman said, also calls for the landscaping with appropriate shrubbery of the trian- ' gular entrance park strip at Monroe Street and Limberlost Trail. The newly planted trees are in addition to those previously planted by the Worthman company on the home sites of Harvester Lane and Stratton Way where 25 families already live in Stratton Place homes. Additional trees and shrubbery have also been planted by home owners themselves in accord with their own landscaping plan and preference. Some owners plant the more rapidly growing soft wood trees like the Chinese Elm as well as the hard wood trees which grow more slowly such as hard maples, elms and he like. They can then, if they prefer, eliminate the softer wood trees after the hard woods reach sufficient size. They thus enjoy shade much sooner while awaiting the development of the long life trees. In Keeping With Tradition The extensive tree development in Stratton Place is in keeping with Decatur’s tradition as a tree-loving community and with the fame of the city for its abundance of beautiful shade trees. Stratton Place also has enchantment for those who love the vision of tress in the surrounding terrain. From the ridge locations of Stratton Place homes beautiful trees greet the eye as it looks to the west, to the north and to the east — the skyline view of the city, the tree flanked banks of the St. Mary’s and the many magnificent and stately trees in the old fair grounds, now Belmont Park. The scene is majestic and lovely to behold and adds to the natural grandeur of Stratton Place views. — | elude the Trinity Evangelical United Brethren church where the sessions opened; the First Christian church; First Methodist church and Zion Evangelical and Reformed church.
