recently announced that this organization is observing its 25th anniversary of Gospel work among Slavic people and others. Under its auspices over 100 missionaries., preaching in 13 languages, are witnessing for the I .ord in 24 countries around the world. Bibles. New Testaments and much Gospel literature have been distributed in Slavic countries and other parts of the world. The Commission on Music of the National Council of Churches is planning the publication within a year of a paperback collection of 118 hymns. ’Die collection is designed for use in homes and interdenominational gatherings, and by radio and television stations. The book will be sold in drugstores. Standard Protestant denominational hymnals were used by the commission in the selection of the hymns. Methodists held more governor-’ ships than do members of any other denomation, according to a survey made by a religious publication in Minneapolis. Twelve of the nation’s 49 governors are Methodists. Eight governors are Baptists; eight are Roman Catholics; seven are Lutherans; five, are Presbyterians; three are Episcopalians; two are Congregationalists; one is Jewish; one is a Mormon, and two have no permanent affiliation. A modern colloquial Russian translation of the 4 Gospels to appeal to the younger generation has been published by the British and Foreign Bible Society in London, England. The result of 8 years of work by a group of Russian scholars associated with the Orthodox Institute of St. Sergius in Paris, the new translation includes accepted conclusions of modern scholars on the text of the Bible and revisions of the old Slavic liturgical forms. BBUiMIM&RBIMMRMIRaMIII As We Think A wise man pasted this in his hat to serve as a reminder along the way of life: “Any man can spoil himself for himself. He can allow himself to grow so sensitive that he lives in constant pain. He can nurse his grudges until they are an intolerable burden. He can think himself insulted until he is apt to be. He can believe the world is against him until it is. He can imagine troubles until they are real. He can hold so many under suspicion that no one believes in him. He can insult his friends until they are no longer friends. He can think himself so important that no one else does. He can have such a good opinion of himself that no one else enjoys his friendship. He can become so wrapped up In himself that he becomes very small.” Book Review THE YEARS THAT COUNT, by Rosalind Rinker, TTie Zondervan Publishing Co., is a book designed to help young people think for themselves about such questions as, What is God’s will for my life? How different should a Christian be? What is Christian fellowship? What about dating? and others equally timely. The book contains down-to-e a r t h illustrations from the lives of young people who have discovered that Jesus is always "present and practical.” The author counsels adults and young people in churches and universities I throughout the United States.

FIRST CHRISTIAN 2nd add Jefferson Edward Pacha, pastor "And they met ort the first day of the week to break bread . . .” Will you join us this Lord's Day as we partake of the emblems of his body and blood? Communion is served every Sunday at morning worship. Morning worship will be at 9:30 a m. with special music by the chancel choir. The pastor’s message will be “Let’s Go Fishin’.’’ Church school will be at 10:30 a.m. with classes for all ages. The nursei v is open every Sunday. Junior church meets at 9:30 a.m. with services under the direction of elder Edward Anderson. These are designed to meet the needs of the smaller folks so that they might come to a better understanding of the Master. Not too long ago, I heard the statement "Before you can teach him, you must accept him.” Yqp know, that has stuck with me, and the more I think of it, the more profound this statement becomes. As we read the New Testament, we find this to be the way of Jesus. He took people as they were, where they were, and no matter who they were. He did not say—if you will improve yourself, the next time I come by, I will take you unto me; but rather he said—come uhto me as you are and I will make you a new man. How often do we refuse to extend the hand «. f friendship because someone does not “measure up” to our standards? How often do we refuse to enter into an organization a project, era cause because we feel that the standards of some of the people are not what we wish them to be? I wonder, if we are to really call ourselves Christ’s followers (Christians), would we not be wise to keep this statement always before us “before we can teac£ Him, we must accept Him.” Our duty, yours and mine, is to show the love of God to the world. Yes, we must teach! i Let’s try to be more Christ-like; let’s accept people, organizations, projects, and causes for what they are, and if they do not measure up to the Christian standards, then let us, after we have accepted them—teach them! God Bless You. 1210 Elm Street George Yarian, pastor Sunday ichool, 9:45 a.m. America will be kept strong and free if her people will serve God and follow His teaching. One way we can accomnlish this task is to bring our families up in the Sunday school. There is a class just waiting (or you, and so start this next week out with God. You will be rewarded. Morning worship, 10:30 a.m Sermon by the pastor: “God’s Healing Power Can Be Yours.” Evening service, 7:45 p.m. Sermon by the pastor: “Lovers of Pleasuie More Than Lovers of God.” Monday evening, 7:30 p.m. Fellowship meeting.

You have an invitation to attend the church where people from all denominations can meet to. worship God. You will be thrilled with the spiritual blessing you can take home from the services. The difficult we do at once. The impossible takes a little longer. — Motto of the U.S. Army Engineers.

In his book, I BELIEVE, Bishop' Gerald Kennedy says the following: “The only answer to an evil idea is a good idea. The only defense against the Communists is a democracy in which people are really committed to the principles of freedom. Which is to say, that only Americans can destroy America. Only Christians can destroy the church. For when we do not believe in Christianity enough to live it, all sorts of devils and false gods—Communism, Fascism, secu-larism-will fill the emptiness.
