"I'm not planning on giving a j sounding board for any group,” Handley said in explaining why: the meeting was closed. Sells has asked for a special: session of the Legislature to raise; unemployment benefits and legal- i ize supplemental jobless pay Handley already had said a j special session was unlikely. He; told newsmen Wednesday he I would withhold a decision until he collects more, facts. -The- -governor week's: report will include a Stqte Labfir' Division report on employment in Fort Wayne and other cities. A local union in Fort Wayne adopted a resolution asking Labor j Commissioner Derrell Weaver for ! an investigation. Weaver sent a j team to Fort Wayne last week, j but refused to reveal results. Handley said Fort Wayne unem- i ivment was "probably about the ■ same as exists in several other--industrial areas ” Ha indicated the report said ; 7, Wereunemployedfroma ■ work force , of 92,000 and said it was not as bad—as several years ago when “over 10,000'.' were idle in Fort Wayne. - Handley surd“*he “was' woikiifg ■ toward new industries and new I contracts as a solution for Fort I Wayne. He said he doubted “very much ' he would ask the federal government to declare it a critical labor area “because the report isn't that bad."

Public Worship Lesson for February 23, 1958 WHY DOES the church worship in public? Didn't Jesus condemn, or ma k e fun of the Pharisees for doing just that? Didn't Jesus say, “When you pray, go into your room and shut the door”? A second thought will show that what Jesus condemned is in

S' / Wm lk>s Dr. Foreman

dividuals praying or otherwise worshipping by themselves in public places. This is making a show of religion. Jesus on the other hand never condemned, but encouraged, and took part in.

group worship. He promised to b< wherever two or three are gath ered together in his name. Worship In tho Spirit Os the many things Jesus said about wwship. either directly 01 indirectly, we may well select one single sentence, or two phrases from it, for special notice. It is the well-knowrn statement, spoken not tea learned man but to a simple- I minded woman, that God Is a Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and in truth. Worshipping in the Spirit is not to be contrasted with worshipping (say) with words and music. We know that Jesus attended synagogue services regularly. We know he visited the elaborate wor- ' ship services of the great Temple. We know he was familiar with that ! .ancient hvmn-book of his people which we know as the Psalter. Il ! a man offers one prayer silently, ! and another prayer aloud, perhaps L in unison with others, and sets still ■ another prayer to music and sings i It, we have no right to call the “unspoken* prayer ‘‘spiritual" and i the others not. Perhaps they are all three spiritual; perhaps none Is. But the spirituality of a prayer ' is not to be measured by how loud ! or soft it sounds, j In Tune With God A better contrast is to say that - -“in the Spirit” or “in Spßlit” (botb ~ expressions are used in'the New Testament) is in harmony with the God Who is Spirit. If it is out of tune with God, if it is not ,in har ! xnony with the nature of God, it is not acceptable worship, or service ! or doctrine. God's Spirit is always • giving, not a. selfish dhe. Selfisb prayer is not prayer in Spirit Worship that is centered in the worshippers’ own desires and needs is hardly worship in Spirit Furthermore, prayer that places most emphasis on physical, material welfare, prayer that it mostly for more pay or more comfort or more promotion in this world, is both selfish and material. (Any reader who knows the Lord's Prayer will remember that Jesus did not mean to shut out prayer for material blessings entirely; but that is not the main line of the , Lord's Prayar.) Worship in Truth More could be said about worship ta the Spirit. We might raise the : question whether there is not such ! • thing as collective selfishness in ; some churches. But let us glance at another point: the God of truth | must be worshipped in truth. For one thing, this means that other, things being equal, worship is,better as it comes closer to a genuine knowledge of God. You would not try to persuade your mother to go : with you in the same way in which you would try to persuade a criminal to go with you' in a patrol wagon. The way you talk with your mother, or with a burglar, is different because they are different ! Talking with God, or about God in a service of worship, or singing to his praise, is far better when the worshipper remembers it is GOD to whom he is speaking. Talking to Him as if he were only a “Man : upstairs," But Why at Eleven O’clock? An objection must have come to many, many minds in the course of the centuries. Granted that worship must be all that is suggested in the majestic words “Spirit and Truth," how can we have any assurance that we shall be in ths right frame of mind when Sunday comes and the clock strikes eleven? Well, of course there is not any such assurance. The church knows this very well What the church does Is to open her doors at certain times every week, and fijvite worshippers to enter and take part. It is often true that though we hive gone to church just as a matter of routine, we come away from the worship renewed and blessed. Suppose the church had not given us this op- • portunity? ••pyruaueM th* Dtvlilon of Christian EdaeatUn N*tlonal C*onetl *f the Cherchee of Christ hi th* U. 8. A.

NEED OF RELIGIOUS TRAINING Rev. J. R. Meadows The younger generation is being soundly berated as unruly, irresponsible, lawless .and vicous. .If the indictment is true, it reflects very seriously on the parents of our day. The need of more telikious training is generally recognized. All efforts of the church to influence young folks spiritually are futile without parental assistance. The good example of father and mother is infinitely more influential than all admonitions. Little John and Mary correctly argue: “If church is good for us. why is it not good for dad and mother?” Modern youth cannot be trained according to die principle: “Don’t do as I do, as I tell you to do.” Parents have been entrusted' with the nurture of imThe First State Bank DECATUR.
