The Churches
Three Things tn Think About Life,
Death and Htenilty
Text Lu. 16 : SI. If they hear
not Moses and the prophets, neither
will they be persuaded, If one rlae
from the dead.
Christ was speaking to Jews hence
they were to hear Moses and the
prophets. If he were apeaklng today
It would be for ua to hear Chrlat and
the Apostles. It Is not what I say or
what you say but what salth the
Lord. A certain man was urged to
become a Christian. He said. "I be
lieve that Jesus Is the greatest
teacher that theworld haa ever seen."
He was asked, "Would you mind
coming to prayer meeting and say
ing that?" He replied, "Do you
think I am a hypocrite?" Snld the
other, "No! But If you believe what
you say, you would 'not hesitate to
tell othera." He came nnd said,
"I believe that Jesus Is the greatest
teacher that the world has ever seen
and I accept Him as my personal
Saviour."
What Is Life? It Ms the sum and
substance of present existence
It is likened unto a Journey. Eneli
step nearer the end should find us
more hopeful, helpful and spiritual.
Life la for the most part, what we
make it.
We are now engaged In life's stern
realities. The challenge that comes
to every man Is for whole-hearted
service and do your best. The call
is for the heroic and the Bacriflcial.
This is not time for play In the home,
the state or in the church. The
world's most terrible war Is upon us.
These are critical moments. Relig
ion and patriotism must be Incul
cated in the minds of the children.
We must all do our bit, which Is our
best. Co-operation Is the word of the
hour. In the conflict much depends
upon the church as well as the home.
After the war Is over may every home
be a happy home; may the demo
cracy of the nations be assured and
may we be living under the blessings
of the united church.
What is the most worth-while life?
The spirit-filled life, tho life that Is
hid with Christ In God. Such a life
not only emphasizes morality, but
also religion. This has been a time
of great Indifference to religion, but
now men are getting their bearings.
The cry is "Back to Christ" and his
ideals. The emphasis Is placed on
the Christ and not Creeds. It Is
"Hear ye Him." This' makes us com
rades in service.
We must not forget that this life
Is followed by death and eternity.
Are you ready to meet your God?
Where would you prefer to be when
you are called? Live close to Christ
and all will be well. Let us say with
the Apostle Paul, "I am now ready."
Live as If each day were your last
Can we not prepare after death? We
have Jesus and the Apostles and
neither will they be persuaded, If one
rise from the dead.
