church, in the presence of parents and friends, at which time they reviewed some ot the things studied during their course of instruction. In the service Sunday morning; the young people will publicly profess their faith in Christ as their Lord and Savior, and will be received into full membership of the church. The rite of confirmation consists of three main acts, the vows of God, the laying of the hand of the pastor on the head in blessing, and the giving of the right hand of fellowship by the pastor. Members of the class have chosen, “Living for Jesus,” as their class hymn, and they will sing it during the service. The service will begin with the prelude by Mrs. J. Fred Fruchte, organist, and will be followed by the processional of the choir and the class. The senior choir, under the direction of Miss Gretchen Gallagher, will sing, “The Palms” by Faure. All members of the church are urged to be present and an invitation is extended to friends of the church and of the class members to worship in this service. Mount Pleasant Church Completes Remodeling The Mount Pleasant Methodist church has completed its remodeling program and will resume services in the sanctuary Sunday. The ceiling has been lowered, wooden cross-beams and new lighting installed, and walls redecorated. Trustees who have directed the work are Robert Fuhrman, Robert Teeple, Everett Singleton, David Cook and William Fifer. Sunday school is held at 9:15 a.m. and worship services at 10:15. The Rev. Donald Orr, minister, invites visitors and friends to attend. Stove Overheated, No Damage Caused An overheated stove in a Winchester street home resulted in a call to the Decatur fire department Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Virginia Hill was in her home at 930 Winchester St. when the stove became overheated. She called the fire department at 4:10 p.m., and the small blaze was extinguished before any damage was done. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

bttemaiMxul UnJcrm Sunday School Lemons The Torn Veil Lesson for April 7, IMS Blbl* Malarial: Mark 14:10 throu.h 16:41. DaveUeaal BaaSlaf: II Timothy 1:1B, 14-18. ONCE upon a time Gethsemane and Calvary were only names. People in Jerusalem knew where they were. Gethsemane was in one kind of suburb; it was an orchard, much like a park, a good place to go for quiet and rest

in the fresh air. Calvary was altogether a different place. The air was not fresh, it smelled of death. For that place (Skull Place they called it) was the Roman army’s place of execution. The place reeked with

Dr. Foreman

blood and the flies were everywhere. Nowadays these names have a different sound. They are beloved names, poems have been written and hymns sung about them. TH Tarn Veil What sort of place would be best suited for the God of heaven and earth? In contrast to the jeweled shrines which enclosed the images of the pagan gods, the God of the Jews lived in a dark chamber into which even His priests were forbidden to enter. Os course those who thought much about such matters knew that God was not in there. Yet if you asked them, “Where is the house of God?” they would have pointed to the Temple. It was resplendent in marble and gold, to be sure; but in that Temple, as in its model the little tabernacle or tent in the wilderness 12 centuries before, God Himself did not sit among the lights; His own chamber was dark, silent and bare, empty of all but Himself, invisible and terrible. Between that chamber and the rest of the Temple hung an immense veil. It was a symbol of the mystery and the barrier between man and his God. Now on the afternoon in April when Jesus died, a strange thing happened. That great veil was found to be n in two._ ,i „i ii i. , What does Gethsemane meaaf We may be bold to say that the torn veil let in light upon what otherwise would have remained dark forever. The tearing of the veil may symbolize the light shed by God’s Spirit, as Christians believe, on the dark events we call Gethsemane and Calvary. What would Gethsemane have meant to you if you had been there? In the shadows of the great spreading trees hiding the full moon, you might have seen four men, three of them asleep but one of them praying. You could not have heard all that he said, but you might have been close enough to have heard the words wrung from him, “Let this cup pass from me . . . Nevertheless, not as I will but as Thou wilt.” You could see that he dreaded something. Yet you could not see what it was he dreaded. Certainly not death, nor failure; for he had faced death and failure before this, and he knew how to take them. What was this “something” worse than death? One of the men sleeping here would one day write: “Christ suffered for you ... He committed no sin . .. He bore our sins ...” (I Peter 2.) By the light • the Spirit pours through the opened veil, we can see what Gethsemane means: that Christ took on His own heart the sins of mankind. What does Calvary meaaf Through that same rending of the mystic veil, a light is shed also on Calvary. If at Gethsemane Christ felt the shame of our sins, on Calvary He felt the dire result of our sins. For the nature and the result of sin is to separate the sinner from God. Again without the light that the Spirit shed (in various ways through the New Testament) we could make very little of Calvary. What could yon have seen? Three men being tortured to death, Roman style, by being nailed to crosses. You might not have known—for certainly his executioners did not know-—that the few words spoken by the man on the middle cross, in all the hours He hung there, would be immortal. Even if you had known, you could hardly have understood. Yet in the light that pours through the torn veil we can see even a. meaning in the darkest of Calvary’s sayings: Why hast Thou forsaken me? The meaning, part of the meaning, of Calvary is that Christ underwent, for our sake and taking our place,—being shut out of the presence of God. Our shame, our sentence, He took on Himself!

IN TIME OF TROUBLE Rev. James R. Meadows The worst breeder of trouble in the world is sin. It may be a big sin or a little sin — if one should make distinctions on a matter like this. But it is Sin with a capital “S” that has caused all the trouble in this world since the day that Adam elected to go his own way in independence of God. Always sin brings trouble. When our Lord spoke the words “Let not your heart be troubled,” He stood in the shadow of the Cross. Peter had just uttered his vainglorious boast regarding his loyalty and our Lord had warned His disciple of his coming denial of Him. With that the chapter ends. How would we have felt had we known with the certainty with which our Lord knew, the future that lay before us? The shadow of the cross lay over His path; His friends would

desert Him, and the suffering that was before Him in order to shed His blood to cover our sins. It is just there, however, that our Lord speaks the words, “Let not your heart be troubled.” Down through the ages His words come to us, and lie like the balm of Gilead on the sore and aching hearts in the world today. It is to His own that the Lord addresses Himself. Why are we not to be troubled? It is useless to tell men and women not to worry or to be troubled, not to be anxious or distressed, unless we can give them a reason why. Our minds cannot reason ourselves out of our troubles. Logic cannot bid them fly away or sophistry still the ache that eats like a canker at the human heart. If we are not to be troubled we must have something outside ourselves that can overcome them, and that is just what the Lord Jesus Christ offers to us. He is greater than our troubles. "Believe in God, believe also in Me.” Everything in this world is relative. Your trouble seems great, but it is little in comparison with the burdens some others have had to bear. Listen, my friend. The God who made yonde r hundred million spheres is greater than all and He is our Father. That is why you are not to be troubled. He made all things by Jesus Christ, Who is our Saviour, our Redeemer and our Friend. He is greater than our circumstances, so the remedy for our troubles are to “believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
