The Time Os Refreshing Rev. J. R. Meadows The church has a ministry of praise no less than a ministry of instruction. This delicate and beautiful ministry is indispensible to the spiritual life of a man. In the city of Pairs there are women who earn their hvehood by selling flowers on the streets. It is said that as the day wears on and their flowers are wilted by the dust hnd heat if the day they hold them for a little while under the spray of the fountains near at hand. The tarnished 1 colors are restored by the sort mist of the fountains, fresh and brilliant as when, in the early morning the bouquets were brought, dew-la-den, from the garden. Our spirits droop in the dust and heat of the world. When we enter into the worship of the Body of

hMUwI Unfcm OSWW Sund., Sc hot. l»nor» j Barker.... Sertpl.re: Amos. • Dev.tl.nal Readme Amo. 8:18-24. Crusaders Lesson for August 25, 1957 WHEN Amos, the hired man, Amos the migrant worker, stood up in the city square at Bethel to make a speech, no doubt people laughed. It looked funny to see a man in overalls making like a politician. They laughed: but they did not keep on laughing. He did not talk like a politician

itx s

at all It was like nothing they had expected. It wee more like . . . well, like a prophet, only there hadn’t been a prophet at Bethel since any one cared to remember. It was

like a prophet, Or. Foremnn only Amos himsalf didn't want that title. The country was full enough as it was, of prophets who were happy as June-bugs, and about es effective. The one tune they hummed went something like “Everything is for the best in the beet of possible world’s.” What Is a Crusader? Amos did not see it that way. He drew such a dark picture of the country and the times, and the prospects, that the leading citizens were worried. Get that man put of here! they said. He’s not good for business, he’s not good for the church, he’s not good, period. But Amos kept right on. We do not know how long he lived after those exciting days in Bethel, but his speeches are not dead yet. We can call him an early type of crusader. No popular occupation! A crusader is next door to a crank, and some crusaders are cranks, and all cranks are nuisances; so most people shy away from the very word. However, we have other words meaning much the same thing. To crusade —it’s no different from “stand up and fight,” “stand up and bo counted,” “go out on a limb,” “carry a torch for—,” “go to bat (or to the mat) for—.” Words fron?"ceritury to century, but the thing is always the same. The crusader is a man with two slogans. He does not always put it this way, but these two are always samples of his attitude to life and the world around him: Something is wrong with the world: fight it! Something is wrong with the world: right it! Crusading From th® Bottom If you think all’s well with the world you are no crusader. If you think a lot is wrong with the world but nothing can be done about it, you are no crusader. But even if you can say Amen to those two slogans just now mentioned, you are still no crusader if ata you do is stand there and yell, a true erusader wants other men to join his fight That was true when the word began to be used, in the years when European army after army went out to the mideast to win back the Holy Land. It is still true, a crusader is a rouser of men, not merely an aroused man. What makes a crusader tick? They both feel the weight of the world’s evil, but in different ways. The crusader from the bottom is a man who has felt the evil Amos was in that class. He came from the very bottom drawer, a hired man in a submarginal area, next to beggars, about the most underprivileged of the underprivileged. He well knew what social and economic injustice are; he had been a victim of both. So today and always, some of the most effective crusaders are men and women who have personally been victimized by the evils they set out to destroy. Some of the greatest temperance workers and crusaders have been men whose own lives had been wrecked by alcohol. Crusader From ttio Tor The crusader from the top, on the contrary, is a man or woman who has never personally suffered from the evils they fight They are people with both sympathy and imagination. Wilberforce in England and Lincoln in America had never been slaves, neither had John Woolman; but they felt the evil of slavery more keenly than some slaves did. j Frances E. Willard, founder of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, had never been an alcoholic. The greatest crusader of all time was surely Jesus Christ. Should we not say that he was a crusader from the top? Notin has acquired the ABCs of right living until he has learned to trust in the Lord. Nothing is more difficult thaA the surrender of a prejudice. Relationship counts, especially if you are numbered with the sons of God.

' 1 Hunt Is Broadened For Missing Girls Three Sisters Are Missing In Illinois DIXON, 111. (UP) -About 250 volunteers ranged through rough, wooded country near here today searching for three young sisters. The daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John Gurnsey, Theresa 3, Ruthie 9, and Nancy 10, disappeared from the yard of their trailer home Wednesday afternoon. Lee County Sheriff John Stouffer headed the search party through the rugged terrain along the Rock River. National Guardsmen, sheriff’s deputies, Boy Scouts and other volunteers combed the woodlands. Mounted searchers rode through tall cornfields and a search plane scanned the area from overhead. Stouffer said one of the best clues was a report from a motorist that the girls were seen hitchhiking on a highway north of Dixon Thursday afternoon. Another witness said he saw the girls run into a cornfield near the city, and a fisherman reported he saw the girls on a bridge in Dixon. The Gurnseys, who have five other children, live in an area surrounded by several hundred acres of woodland. Several large quarries also are located near Dixon, a city of about 12,000 about 100 miles west of Chicago. Gurnsey. a construction firm employe, moved his family here six weeks ago from Boscobel, Wis. ■ i— Young Wife Killed As Train Hits Car KNOX SR — Mrs. John Fugate, about, 20, North Judson, was killed and two other persons injured Thursday when their automobile and a Pennsylvania Railroad train collided at a Starke County crossing 5 miles west of here.
