Rural Churches PLEASANT VALLEY WESLEYAN H. D. Rich, pastor Our Sunday school attendance is holding up well after rally day. Our prayer meetings are growing in interest and inspiration The church is pi.ying much for a revival that will be like a spiritual (penicilant shot to the total church and the area which we are serving This Sunday is parsonage fund Sunday at which time we put our Sunday school offering into a fund to pay off the parsonage debt, which we hope to do this year. It will be of interest to those who have a money investment in our international headquarters build-ing-now coming to completion at Marion, Indiana, that the National Holiness Assn, has rented a part of this for their general headquarters office. The Publishing dept, of our church has moved in and in a short time this long needed building will be a bee hive of activity. Most of the money for this project has already been raised J by our loyal people. Lets go a Jit-' tie farther, work a little harder and get as much accomplished as we can before the Master comeg i back for an accounting. Don’t fqr- | get our revival (Nov. 18-29). Watch for further announcements. We appreciated our visitors last Sunday and say again that our welcome mat is always out front —use it. U. B. RIVARRE CIRCUIT Huber Bakner, pastor Mt.

872 algj| B|a ira» »r» 14‘Jitiiiiiiijl Rible Material: Acta 5:17-42. Devotional Reading: Psalm 37,30-40. God First , Lesson for November 8, 1959 “W E MUB 'i' OBEY God rather » ’ than men.” So said the Apostles long ago. It is one of the famed quotations from the Bible. Is this just something from "Bible times” or does it mean something today ? •‘ln God We Trust” is a motto everybody has seen on his money.

But how many people do trust in God more than in money? They say that the difference between North and South America is that the Europeans who came to settle South

America came to D f * Toreman find gold, but those who came to North America came to find God. Is this true ? And if it is, could you guess it from what, North Americans spend their time running after?

What Kind of God? ‘‘Everybody talkin’ about heaven ain’t goin’ there,” an old “spiritual" sings. You might add, “Everybody talkin’ about God ain’t his real friend.” With better grammar we might say that there is a lot of talk about God, in magazines and clubs and newspapers and even in the church, that is no .more than talk. It does not go deep and it means very little. But even when it does go deep and mean something. does it mean the right thing ? We don’t-want to be pessimistic about this. We don’t mean to ac* cuse the whole population of being hypocrites. Nevertheless there is an appalling lot of loose talk (set to music sometimes) about God. “GOD FIRST" is a noble motto. A God who is not first is no God. But “God first” is noble only if it means the right kind of God —or in other words the true God, for the true God is the only right kind of God there is. Therefore all wrong kinds of God are actually no gods at aiL only make-believe images caryed out in the minds of mistaken people. For instance, if people sing about “the Man upstairs," they may think they are singing about God, but they are not. God is not a man, not even an enormous, skyfilling man. Rival B«d* It is not far wrong to say that whatever a person with all his heart puts first, that is God for him. Religious people sing, “Praise God from whom all blessings flow." But if we may judge people’s true opinions by their actions, we may have to conclude that some people, if they were absolutely frank about it, would prefer another doxology. They would have a revised version. It would be “Praise Wealth from which all blessings flow.” Not only wealth, but public opinion, security, power, success (measured by height of tailfins and horsepower in the motor) may likewise be as God to those who expect all bless-' ing from such things. Now a doll is perfectly harmless, indeed it may be a pretty toy, so long as it is only a doll. But if some one gets hold of a doll and sets it up as a god and prays to it, that is idolatry and it is bad. So wealth and success and security are good things; it is when they are set up as rivals to the true God that they become symbols of sin. Leyalty Oath We hear a good deal about loyalty oaths. The fact is, every one who is a professed Christian has made a public vow of loyalty to God, when he has taken his stand as a member of the church of God. Now what? If that is the end of it, if he is seldom if ever seen in the church again, if he can never be counted on to share in any good work, if he cannot spare even a tenth of his income for the Kingdom of God, then what did his loyalty oath amount to? This is Temperance Sunday, and the essence of temperance, of the Christian sort, is living with consideration for others, not selfishly for your own comforts. A church “member" who habitually spends on luxuries (whether liquor or whatever) for himself, what he might be sharing for the help of the needy (in mind, body and spirit) through all the world, is a member in name only. If we really mean “God First," we mean we intend to obey God first To live for oneself alone shows that God is, attar aIL a stranger.
