Film Here Sunday “Where the Bible Speaks, We Speak,” a religious film, will be shown at the First Christian church at 7:30 p. m. Sunday. Don* aid Wright is shown above examining the old Bible manuscript shown in the film. This old Hebrew manuscript, containing the first five books of the Old Testament, was purchased by the Rev. E. L. Whisler, producer of the film, while he was making sbots for the picture in Palestine. This sound, colored movie portrays the beginning of the church in Jerusalem, the history of the movement in America and shows the work of the chnrcdi today.

Our Mission Lesson for April I, 1956

WHEN a great bomber sets off on a military mission, or when a plane loaded with leaflets takes off for a propaganda misdon, no matter how good the plane is otherwise, the mission will be a failure without three essentials for success. One is gas enough to reach the target The second is an engine that will not "conk out”

going or returning, an engine that can be relied on to function under all weather conditions. The third essential is a crew that will follow instructions, competent to fly the plane and to deliver its load at

■ the right time, at the right place. ! The Mission of the Church One of the last words Jesus uttered before his Ascension was "Go.” But what is a going church? Sometimes all that is meant by 1 that expression is simply a church that has meetings once in a while. But that is not the idea Christ had in mind. The original Christian 1 church had meetings, and good 1 ones they were; but it began to go after the meetings were over . and the disciples scattered everywhere, bringing the Word, the good news of God’s love, the good news about Jesus. The church was going when it was growing; going when it took the message to new places and to people who had never heard it before. A gbing church, in short, is a missionary churchSome people don’t like the word "missions." It seems to carry or suggest the idea of superiority. Not at all! We do have a superior article, the Christian faith and life. But we do not have to be conceited about IL Does a salesman have to be conceited if he is Belling the best line on the mar-' ket? Does a doctor have to be conceited about prescribing the best drugs yet invented? We did not Invent our religion, God gave it to us. He gave it to us to keep and to share; and if we do not share it we shall hardly keep it. >1) Hwsr the Spirit Going back to that airplane a moment: Enough gas, plus an efficient engine, spells POWER. No matter how important the mission is, no matter how good the intentions are, without the power everything collapses. So it is with the church. Our mission has been set by God himself. But when the church takes off with its tanks empty, and some home-made do-it-yourself tinkered-up sewing machine in place of a good engine, it will never accomplish its mission no matter how good it is. Wanting to reach the target is not enough. Don’t we all pray, "Thy Kingdom come on earth . , . f M That is a missionary prayer. Don’t most churches offer prayer for missions, and even take up offerings for missions? Yet any one who knows the church will tell you that the church’s missionary responsibility is shirked and slacked. We play at missions, we leave millions on millions without a ray of Gospel. The record of many a congregation, if you looked at it, would never suggest that that church knew much or cared much about what Jesus said on his church in his solemn last word's: "Go—into all the world!” The trouble is that the Church does not have the power. It could have the same power the first Christians had, the power of the Holy Spirit Only a Spirit-filled church is going to be much of a missionary church. Power of Testimony The other necessity of the plane on . a "mission" is personnel. Power alone is not enough. There must be men who are prepared to use that power. Now Christians individually, or the church at large cannot "use" the Holy Spirit for no one can use God. But God’s power is not poured out on Just anybody (as many stories In the Bible show). His power comes to those who devote themselves to him and his cause. The early church waited for the Spirit, waited for power; but once they had received it they proceeded to carry out Jesus* directive: Go into all the world! A Christian, or a church, that wants God’s power for selfish reasons, will not be given it. A Christian, or a church, that prays for God’s power so as to be able to witness for him, —so as to win others for him, —will find that prayer answered. The power will come. If the church today is making too feeble a mark on one world, is it because the church does not seek true spiritual power for true spiritual service? 1 ..Texas produces 90 pfefeent of 1 'the U.

After Easter, What? Rev. J. R. Meadows You no doubt joined the multitude that crowded the church on Easter Sunday. Our herd at ao time urged ua to display our clothes on Easter. The Son of God our Saviour arose from the tomb on Sunday the first day of the week, therefore, every Sunday becomes an Easter occasion when we celebrate His resurrection. Sixty-seven millions of population of the United States have no connection with any church. Many Christians have yielded to the tug of opposing forces and are no longer seen in the Lord’s House. Do Christians recognize the genuine values of church going? The deepest need of the human soul is the craving for God. Public worship on the Lord’s Day provides an opportunity for the fellowship of believers and closer contact through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the head of THE CHURCH. The sweet fellowship of kindred souls fills a place and meets a need that no other association on earth can offer. Christians living in the happiest envir-
