FIRST PRESBYTERIAN Morcer Avenue at Five Points | Harold J. Bond, minister 9:15 am., Sunday school with classes tor all ages. Christian education is for discipleship. In the beginning, God commanded all created life to “Be fruitful and multiply." The perpetuation of life in nature and in history, have followed from obedience to this command. In the beginning of the fellowship of recreated life—the church, the nature and the scope of its future growth were established by the imperatives, “You must be born anew” and "Make disciples of all nations.” This growth, unlike natural growth, was not to be a matter of simple multiplication of units or mere organic reproduction. It was to be the enlargement of the fellowship of persons through the proclamation and demonstration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As other persons responded with faith to this gospel and entered a new life in relation to God within the fellowship, they too became involved in the pro- : cess of proclamation and demonstration. Grow spiritually by wor- > shiping with us. 10:30 am., morning worship.

My friend asked where in the New Testament could one find scripture dealing with this type of viciousness. Now there are many places that can be pointed to, but I supoose that the third chapter of James probably covers this subject as well, if not better, than any other passage. Read it over and see what you think. God Bless You.

Many people have Indicated that they found God through the fellowship of believing Christians. If a man truly wants to find God, the first thing to do is find some group of people to whom God is real and join them. Faith is contagious and many people are spiritually unawakened because they find little or nothing that suggest God to them in their work-a-day world. In the atmosphere created by believing souls, spiritual faculties become active, and in time those associated in such a group come to know God for themselves. When FIRST METHODIST .
