dren's choir singing and Rev. Walker bringing his closing message. The public is invited to these services. Holiness Association Will Meet Sundav The monthly meeting of the Adams county holiness association will be held at the Pleasant Mills Wesleyan Methodist church, two miles east and one mile south of Monroe, Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. The Rev. Frank Voss, pastor of the Mt. Hape Nazarene church, will be the speaker, and music and singing will be in charge of the host church, of which the Rev. Roger Budde is the pastor. I Rev. Walter King Speaks At Service The Rev. Walter King, evangelist at the Union Chapel EUB church, used as his theme Thursday night, “Stand Up and Be Counted,” based on the Gospel of John, 12:43-43, and Romans, 10:9-10. “In this day some speak of ‘silent disciples of Christ.’ How can they keep the good news they claim? As a woman declares a new found bargain, a man or boy is thrilled about a ball game, so Christ’s followers, the church, ought to be thrilled about its head, the ‘Savior of the world.’ Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.’ All too often we are ashamed of Him. Why? It is not because we have reason to be. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves and proud of One who would even dare to die for us. If we are ashamed of Him now, He will be ashamed of us then. The Communists are loyal and proud of their philosophy, what is the matter with the professed Christian? We have something and someone to really witness about.”

(the _'llipawsJ h,l*nul,«n»l UnHorrn WW/Ki Sundi; Schtri lw Bible Material: Luka UM*. S7-SO; 9:1-20; Mark 8:14-». Devetteaal RtaSlaf: laalah 40:1-11. Herald of Hope Leeson for September 30, IH2 UE WAS a strange man, John 11 the Baptixer. Strange in many ways. His birth was a miracle, and yet in all his life he never performed one single miracle and never I tried to. He came mi into this world by I ™ a miracle > and Wf-fl y et when he died ' head ( ' chopped off, no : miracle was there t 0 save him ’ He ■ fl knew more about ■O. fli Jesus than Jesus’ Dr. Foreman own brothers did; and yet he doubted Jesus in a public sort of way such as his brothers never showed. Jesus called him the greatest of men up to his time; yet the world, even the Christian world, pays more honor to many another ancient figure than to John. In the Desert People who dress in camel’shair clothes and eat locusts and wild honey as a regular diet are not common nowadays and they were not in John’s day either. A man eccentric as he would not get many to listen to him nowadays; but John had a tremendous audience. The road from Jerusalem to Jericho was—and still is —a steep winding highway, infested with bandits; yet crowds would walk the fifteen miles or so from the city to where they could hear John preach and be baptized by him. No evangelist in America would set up his tent 15 miles from the nearest sizable town; but John ' did, and the people came. His sermons all could be boiled down to two sentences: Repent! He is coming! Considering everything, especially considering the fact that some people thought he must be Christ himself, John must have been a very remarkable character. He did not fit any pattern, then or now. His long stay in the wilderness, beginning when he was a boy (for no doubt his aged parents did not live till he grew up), made its mark on him. This was good and had its drawbacks

too. A desert child, John would not be tied to the conventional, the customary. He had few if any human ties. He could look at the world, so to speak, from the sidelines, he had a fully detached view of life. On the other hand, because he lived all alone, he did not have the “common touch” that Jesus had. Unlike Jesus, John had nothing to say to the sorrowing and suffering of the world. Where Jesus saw the multitudes as sheep without a shepherd, John spoke of them as a “brood of vipers”— snakes’ babies, to put it in plain English. In Hope Yet the people, no matter what John might call them, however fierce his denunciation of them as sinners,—the people swarmed to hear him. The reader can think of reasons . . . and by the way, any one who is interested in John’s story should read all the Bible material, not the few printed verses. One of the reasons, surely, why John was so popular in spite (you might say) of all his efforts not to be, was that he preached just what the people wanted to hear about the future. The people who came to hear him and stayed to be baptized were poor, they were under the crushing heel of a long-staying occupation army. In Confusion Jesus indeed came, though as we saw, at first only John knew who he truly was. But he was not the kind of “Messiah” or God’sMan John had expected. We know that a year or two later, when John was near his death in a dungeon, he, the preacher of hope, began to have doubts. He even sent to Jesus to ask if he, John, could be mistaken. We do not know whether what Jesus said to him by his messengers comforted . but we uray beEove it did, tor Jesus always knew the right thing to say. So we may feel sure that hope returned to him in the end. (Read about it in Luke ehap. 7.) John is not the first or the last herald of hope who has been right about the hope, but wrong about how the hope comes true. John had thought the Messiah would be an Avenger, a Destroyer; Jesus came a man of peace. John looked for something spectacular; Jesus showed him miracles, but the kind he looked for. God has Ms own ways in Ms world, and wo cannot dictate how he shall manage it But we may bo sure, as .John learned, that “Jesus doeth all things well.’’

SATURDAY Special hours of meditation and prayer at the church .. 4:00 to 6:00 P.M. Bring your Bibles. Come and go as the Lord leads you. May this be a great experence for you. This Sunday is promotion Sunday in the Sunday School. Congratulations, boys and girls. Also, a hearty thank you, to the teachers for a job well done. DO WE TAKE JESUS SERIOUSLY Rev James R. Meadows Jesus taught we should love our enemies and do good to them that hate us. Do we actually receive that teaching and practice it? Or do we just sentimentally adopt it, view it as a beautiful ideal, and proceed to ignore it? What is our real attitude towards those who dislike us, who hate us, who do mean things against us? Doubtless we find it desperately hard to deal with such persons as Jesus say we should deal with them. Our constitutional tendency is to strike when we are struck, to return evil for evil. Observe that we are not asked to love the mean, contemptible, inNAMMONB FRUIT MKTS m INC.

jurious things that men may do against ua. We are fully justified in displsing crookedness, slander, and aU that is bad. But we need to draw a distinction between evil things that are done and the people that do them. We may hate the lie that some one may tell concerning us, but we must not hate him who tells it. Jesus requires that we deal with the liar on the prnciple of love. It must be admitted that it is not easy to make the distinction between the evil that is done and the doer of it. But we can learn to do so If we take Jesus seriously. Jesus said, "Follow Me.” Do we take Him seriously? Many of us follow Him as far as it is convient to do so. We follow Him to the extent that it will not cast us very much. We follow Him until sacrifice is demanded, until the cross looms up ahead. We follow Him so long as the way is smooth, and things are lovely. But how many of us prove that we have real hero blood in our veins? How many of us have to pay a price like loss of position or loss of friends? How many of us follow Him in genuine self-denial, sacrificial service for the sake of others? Do we take Jesus seriously? THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.’’—Luke 9:23.
