frHE J Immortal Twelve Lesson for November 16, 1952 J ' ' IF the twelve Apostles wanted to ‘ Join your church, would you let them in? Peter Marshall thought not Books of sermons are often dull reading, but Dr. Marshall's

book called Mr. Jones, Meet tho Master is as fascinating a book as you are likely to find anywhere. One of his famous sermons ’. go ea over an imagined application of the twelve Apostles for membership in a typical

Or. Foremaa

American church,-One by one each man Is rejected—all but Judas! As a man of money the church wants his services. Unpromising Material Not to Stea) Peter Marshall’s sermon, 6pr .to spoil your appetite for It in Case you do read it, but just to explore the possibilities, let’s imagine yourself passing op the application of these men tor church membership. There is Simon PeterZ. . Weill He is a fisherman arid a sailor, and you know what sailor’s language Is, sometimes. A than noted for talking before be thinks- Not among our best people. (they would say in Capernaum); lives down, by the docks somewhere, smells of fish. No education. very limited background. Better w»iv Maybe be could find a little chapel down nearer his work he’d be happier there. And then there's James and his brother John. Hot-tempered and in fact sq. conceited they’re hary live They would certainly want to th* ®t the top—if thrones are pdssM out they will -want one apiece ip the front row. U they are crossed |hey are likely to call down fir# from heaven—not that they’ll, gqt ’it, but that’s the kind of young m<rt they are No. they will be too'bqt to handle. Let them go join soma sect that will give their emottonaka chance. We'll ba too slow andjtoo cold -for them. Nobod ’ Then tHere Is Thomas, for Instance. Jvht the oposite of Peter. A cold, gloomy man. Takes the dark view of everything. What you want in th* chuoch is men of faith, and this Is a man who is sure to be called the Doubter. Skepticism is contagious, we have enough doublets now without electing another one. Let’s leave him out Then there is Philip, a stupid man ; if ever yoOisaw one. You can say a ■ thing to him over and over and he i still won't'get it And Bartholomew* and Thaddaeus or Lebbaeus or whatever tys name ts. and another James arid another Simon—their names ar# common and so are they. Just jvho are they, the whole lot of tha&? Nobodies, that's al) you can say- Can you name one that has make a name tor himself outside hi» native village—or in it, tor that ototter? What have they got to contribute? Haven’t we got enough dead wood in the church as it is without adding some more people who will be nothing but Seems to me the pastor must hav»; been scraping the bottom of the; barrel—these men certainly didn't come from ths top. < - ’I • Jesus Made Difference Even worse than al) that could have been said of some of the Twelve There was one very doubtful character among them, the man the Publican. Publicans wer* tax-collectors tor the Roman government. No one respected them; Jesus himself used the name Publican as meaning the lowest class of men. Who knew bow sincere Matthew was when be joined the Twelve? .There wa* a tea Judas. ; immortal tor another reason; who was and who remained s deva Jesus called two of these men ’devils at different times; Judas . stayed ona. but Patqf changed. That lets us tn to the secret of why Jesus chose these particular men. It was not tor what they were at the time, not tor anything they bad accomplished, but for what he could do with thorn, that Jesus chose these men. Ha selected lh<*m for a particular reason: that they should go out and tell other men about him. To be ready to do this, they were to spend some time in close contact with him. When these men went out to speak for Jesus and the Kingdom of God they knew -what they were talking about . i i and they were different meh. AU but Judas, who missed his life’s great chance. For these other meh/had let Christ have his way with them. That is what the Church te. and ought to be: the community of men and women whe are being transformed, by Christ, ifor service in his name.

Hearing Monday On Coal Wage Increase Public Hearing Is . Planned By Putnam WASHINGTON UP —Economic stabilizer Roger L. Putnam will hold a public hearing Monday on the size of a wage increase to be approved for John L., Lewis’ United Mine Workers. Putnam invited Lewis and Harry M. Moses, president of the Bituminous Coal Operators’ Association, to make an “oral report’’ at the meeting ip support of. their petition that Nutnam approve the full $1.90-arday boost negotiated by the UMW and the coal industry. Lewis and Moses jointly appealed to Putnam to take over the coal case three weeks ago after the wage stabilization board chopped the increase to $1.50 on the grounds that anything beyond that would be inflationary. Putnam must make the final decision. When the board acted, some 375,000 soft coal miners walked .out of the pits in protest. They returned a week later on orders from who acted following an appeal from President Truman to end the strike while the wage board’s decision was being reconShould Putnam uphold the wage board’s decision, the soft coal diggers probably would strike again. They probably be joined by 55,000 hard coal miners who are awaiting wage board action on a similar 31.90 pay boost.
