The Church Invites Yon It is knowing God and loving God that can change us and ™Part to us power to fulfill His will, to walk in His ways. We can liken God to sunshine. We need only to get out from under the trees into the light in order to receive the sunlight. Sunlight is a gift. We do nothing to earn it or deserve it. We only receive it, expose ourselves to it. So it is wuth God. Through the Scriptures, expressive hymns, sermons, our attention becomes exposed to God and receives God. Through prayer, we are sensitized and made more able to discern God in cir- . cumstances. The church is Gods ( house where our attention is fixed i on Him to renew our soul life. , WHY NOT ACCEPT THE INVI- < TATION AND COME TO CHURCH > NEXT SUNDAY? 1 A HAPPY HOME Parents should remember that ( youth prefers to learn the hard , way. They may listen to counsel | but they must learn by experienc- ( ing. Young people are going to , carry on what parents hove start- ( ed. They are going to sit where ( adults are sitting today and attend ( to those things which seem important. Adults may adopt all the policies in the world but how they j will be carried out depends on the next generation. Young people of today will assume control of our cities, states and nations. Young people will tafice over the corporations, churches, schools, universities of the nation. Books will be judged, praised or condemned by the young people of today. In other words, the fate of humanity will be in the hands of the young people of today and it behooves ■ parents to give their children as much of their time, as much of their love and understanding, as much of their counsel as possible, if they are to be ready to accept the great responsibilities with which they will be faced in future years. CHURCH FORUM WHAT DOES IT HEALLY MEAN TO BE DECENT? If one is decent merely because the neighbors expect it and demand it, then one’s so-called decency is meaningless. However, when one is honest, not because business demands it, but because one can’t do otherwise, when one is generous not because it is expected of one, but because one’s heart insists on it, when one is forthright because one cannot live with one’s self and be otherwise, then one is truly decent. By being truly decent, by being truly honest, by being truly generous, one not only has a clear conscience but merits the respect of his friends, the community, his church, because he has found the secret of responsibility in the management of his life as well as his affairs. CLERICUS SAYS CLERICUS SAYS: Eternal life begins as soon as we have accepted Christ, submitted to His will and welcomed Him into our hearts and minds. The continuance of this quality of life constitutes an extension of something begun here and bow. Eternal life deals both with the quality of life and J with its duration. Christ does not just improve a man’s life; he transforms it so that we become new creatures. Life beyond the grave is the eternal fulfillment of our acceptance of Christ as our Lord and Savior. THE BETTER WAY SEVEN THINGS YOU NEVER REGRET: 1. Feeling reverence for your Maker 2. Showing kindness to an aged person 3. Destroying a letter written in anger 4. Offering the apology that saves a friendship 5. Stopping a scandal that would jyreck a reputation * 6. Taking time to show loved

ones consideration 7. Accepting the judgment of God on any question. Seven modem sins have been identified as politics without principles, pleasure without conscience, wealth without work, knowledge without character, industry without morality, science without humanity, and worship without sacrifice. Lesson Prayer LESSON PRAYER: Dear Father, we thank Thee that Thou are so merciful as to fill our lives with Thy gracious gifts each day, but most of all, we are grateful that Thou didst send Thy supreme gift into the world—Thy Son, Jesus Christ.
