The pastor’s sermon, “O Master Let Me Walk With Thee,” is taken from one of our beautiful hymns, and points up the form that our concern should take. The church school takes up “Responsibility to God and Man,” with the scripture taken from Mark 12:28-34. Devotional reading is I John 3:1-11. There will be a carry-in supper at 6:30 p.m. and a film. Because of this the youth fellowship will not meet this week. Mid - week services continue Thursday, 7:30 p.m., the message will be “The Command.” Special offering for the week of compassion will be taken next Sunday at morning worship. This offering goes to send food to the starving of the world. It is well to remember that one dollar sends 300 pounds of food to the starving Yes, sl—3oo lbs. of food delivered overseas. Anyone wishing to contribute may do so at the special offering Feb. 22 or mail contributions to: First Christian Church. Week-of Compassion, Decatur, Ind. Christ said “Come unto me . . . and I will give you rest.” Sleeping in on Sunday morning is no substitute for the “rest” that the Master is Faith “Faith is not a matter of the head alone nor of the heart alone nor of any part of the spiritual man taken by itself. It is something which belongs to the whole spiritual character, and which affects every part of it. Sometimes it is intellectual, and then it embodies itself in the formation of or the assent to creeds. Sometimes it is emotional, and then it shows itself in the strong love and loyally towards God. Sometimes it is volitional, and shows itself by acts or deeds of charity and self-sacrifice. But in each case it is the act of the whole man, and not of any separate part of him, which is, let me say in passing, good philosophy as well as sound theology.”—F. Helton.
