Bryant, Pastor “THE FRIENDLY CHURCH" The beautiful sunshine brought out.| a large crowd to St- Johns last Sun day. The attendance was above the average in all services. Rev- Bryant preached from $L Luke . the 4th chapter and 21st verse. He took for his subject, “The Folks Back Home." Some thoughts that should be re membered are as follows: “The folks do not always see the J good merits in those who have been raised about their home, because they have "watched them grow up They should not be too quick to criti cise those about them, but try to see good in them whether it is from those of educational standing or not. without so much of fine it would, less from whom it may come. Seek an opportunity to do good for your Church, and the cause of Christ Let your service be voluntary, and without so much hof fine it would be, it all would have a real reverence for God as they enter his house”.

Hell Caldwell St All of the Units are busy doing something to aid in the church pro I gram __ I THE WEEKLY SHORT SERMON 1 AM’S OF JESUS By Dr. A- G- Bearer (For The Literary Service Bureau) I am in the father a ad the father in me—John 14:10 In the “Articles of Religion” sub scribed to by Methodists and other churchmen, it is affirmed, “The Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and teernal God. of one sub stance with the Father, took man’s nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin, so that twro whole and per fect natures, that is to say, Godhead and manhood, were joined together in one person, never to be divided, whereof is one Christ very God and very man-” And this is the myster ious truth Jesus proclaimed in this text. a We cannot understand the unity of the Godhead. Co-equality is beyond us- We cannot comprehend a “trinity in unity,” and we will never under stand how the Father can be in the Son and the Son in the Father- But Jesus said it and we believe it The benefit coming to us is that in this way Jesus Christ revealed God to us; that since He is in the Father, if we are in Him and abide in Him. it means that thru Him, we too, are! in the Father, having the indwelling of the entire Trinity- No, we can not understand; but we believe. Be lieving, we have the consciousness of God in us—and this is life eternal. And we rejoice that it is our privi-; lege to have this intimate place in j the bosom and in the heart of the j Father through the Son who makes it possible. All this Jesus means he af-! firms, “I am in the father and the j father in me.” — SEEING WHITE (Continued) By A. B. Mann (For The Literary Service Bureau) It is inevitable that this seeing w-hite, seeing as the white man sees, as the American white man sees, in interest of his dominance and the per petuation of his control, should result in civic injustice toward the sub merged and trampled element. The j Declaration of Independence emphat ically insists that all men are “created equal,” and that they are “endowed by their creator with certain inalien able rights,” and that among these are “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness-” To Thomas Jefferson is given the credit for the writing of this immortal document; yet, there are thousands of white men who claim to be followers of Jefferson who ex clude the black man from these rights and privileges- The XIV and XV Amendments to the Constitution pro vide that all citizens shall have equal rights, including the right of fran chise. But white Americans deny all these to colored Americans. (To be continued) LOOKING BACK By Videtta Ish (For The Literary Service Bureau) A y lung woman of our set has just gone away from the home of her parents to be married- The excuse is that the man could not get off from j his work to come to the home of her j parents. My own daughter, “sweet j sixteen,” thinks it was a wonderful 1 thing to do; that it is romance raised : to its highest power. Looking back, I remember when a girl who would do such a thing would be most soundly condemned and par-; ents who would permit it would have; to answer to the entire community-; In those days it was said, “If a girl is-worth having she is worth going j after.” My own parents used to say! if a girl should go away from home , to marry a man he would be apt to “throw it up to her,” that she wanton j him more than he wanted her, be- j cause she went to him instead of wait ing tor him to come to her. I am wondering if. my parents and other old timers were wrong and these mod erns are right- But still I am inclined to believe that the old way was the best. THE LAZY MAN DIES FIRST By R. A- Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) This sayihg merits much consider ation. And worthy is of strongest approba tion: I Few persons ever die from over-1 working, But millions die because of shameful shirking. I Another way there is this truth ex pressing, (Tho men may not be often heard confessing.) “The lazy man dies first.” And comes j temptation To say “So mote it be,” thru all creation. We’d say “So mote it be,” indeed, believing The right to live depends upon achieving, And this unto the indolent applying, The world would profit by this creature’s dying. THE OUTLAWS MOTHER By R. A- Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) While we should condemn crime and punish criminals, we should and do extend sympathy to the innocent sufferers- Of these, perhaps most de serving of sympathy, are the mothers of these sinners against society. A case in point is that of the terror, Underhill. He was an outlaw. He was a ban dit, a burglar, a murderer; and he was considered a “public enemy”. He was desperately wounded by officers who arrested him, and it was said he would die. His old mother dropped everything and rushed to his bedside-.. Whatever the world thought of him or said concerning him, he was her child- Sitting by his dying bed, the mother soliloquized, “He was a good boy; he could not have done all they say he did.” The outlaw died and his mother took his remains home, had funeral services in a Christian Church, and had him buried on the family lot- If any one should be inclined to blame this old woman or to criticise her actions, and her devotion, then just remember that she was his mother, and in mothers, love is the dominat ing thing. Maxie Miller Write s (For The Literary Service Bureau) MARRIED MAN NEGLECTED HIS WIFE—WIFE BORED BY LONE LINESS “STEPPED OUT” ON HIM—'WIFEY CONFESSES AND PROMISES TO GO STRAIGHT HUBBY UNDECIDED ABOUT KEEPING HER—YES, KEEP HER AND THANK GOD FOR AN (For advice, write to Maxie Miller, care of The Literary Service Bureau, j 516 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas- For personal reply, send postage.) Maxie Miller: I am a married man and my home is about wrecked. How ever, I think I can save it if I have the “guts” to do it. I’m a profes sional man- I neglected my wife like j the husband in “Madam X”. She. warned me that this neglect might! prove disastrous, but I gave no heed, because I considered my wife proof i against all outside influences. In a weak moment this wife of mine turned aside. She is sorry; she has confessed; she hates the man who led her into this; and she promises to go straight. I still love my wife, but I hate like hell to know that she has been with another man. I believe she will be true, if I can make up my mind to keep her. What do you ad vise ?—Unhappy Mike Unhappy Mike: You are a pretty good sport to acknowledge your fault and take your share of the blame You were a foolish cuss to disregard your wife’s warning, and she is a m ble soul, far beyond the average to eoafess and risk losing you when she could easily have deceived you as thousands do. Then I wonder if you’ve always been straight! “Keep her?” Why of course, keep her! What else is there for you to do? She is sorry; she loves you; she^ confessed and promised to go • straight. You’d be a dastard and a fool to throw away this honest woman to pick up another who would gloss over and deceive you. Keep her? Yes, and here’s the best of luck to you—Maxie Miller I'VE SEEN LYNCHINGS (To Robert S. Abbott) I’ve heard the blood hounds on their hellish trail, I’ve seen the victims as they were led | to jail. I’ve seen ragged clothes painted red, with human blood. Representing a story I once read of an ancient flood. They kicked them and they beat them, until it was a shame When it was all over—no one knew a single name. The prisoners prayed aloud as they fervently prayed to God. Saying, “Father, please protect us by Thy staff and i*od ” That picture lingers with me and haunts my sober mind. Tell me, wrhat keeps me—always just and kind? I’ve seen the ropes placed o’er their staggering heads, The poor souls looked as though they were already dead. Their hands tied behind them, their eyes toward the ground, Their feet moving slowly as they left the hateful town The lynchers said, “March on, -we’re looking for a tree.” To a band they cried, “Play ‘My Country ‘Tis of Thee’.” The limbs were found—the ropes were tied, Just a few minutes passed—these Americans died Their bodies were left dangling high into the sky, But before they died they said, “Good night, good-by.” ANSELM JOSEPH FINCH | “THE VICTIM OF THE MOB” I see the gathering crowd Boisterous and loud, As they go their way Another’s life to take away, The laws they do not respect For those who have sworn to protect Their duties now saddly neglect 1 Men and women rejoice To hear the dying victims voice, As he pleads for mercy Where none was ever known to be. A finger or two, perhaps an ear for a souvenir An awful reminder in the days to come Of a brutal crime well done. 2 ■His groans are-music sweet As they continue to cruelly beat, Until the last spark of life has fled And he at last-thank God is dead Free from the tortures of a mad crazed mob. Some day they shall answer—to God For the life of this- victim—they rob bed. MYRTLE M. GOODLOW. IM PROVTD^^~r* ! UNIFORM INTERNATIONA! SUNDAY 3 chool Lessor (By REV. P.

He Can Forgive Sin. INTERMEDIATE. AND SENIOR TOP IC—How Jesus Meets Our Needs YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Jesus Meeting Human . Needs. In chapters 8 and 9 of Matthew are grouped a number of miracles whir l, exhibit the power of Jesus Christ over the chief foes of men—sickness. Sin, satanic power, death, and storms It is fitting that they should be grouped here following the laws of the king dom, for they show the king’s powei to administer the affairs of the king dom and produce within his subject* the graces of character demanded bj these laws. It would make tin; lessee too long to attempt to consider all the«* miracles. Therefore certain of tlac most outstanding should be selected. *■ Jesus Heals a Leper (8:1-4). 1. The dreadful disease (v. 2). I.ep : rosy was the most loathsome and hopeless disease known. In the Jewish ritual It was regarded as a symbol of sin. Just as leprosy was Incurable by man, so only the Divine Physician ©an cure sin. xue repers rattn (v. _■). ills cry was most pitiable, but his faith whs strong. He fully believed that Jesus | waa able, but was uncertain is to htsi willingness, to heal him. S. Jesus’ power (v. S). Ha put forth his hand and touched tile leper, bidding the disease to depart, and in ■tantly the man was cleansed. II. Jssua Heals the Centurion's Ser vant (8.-.V13). 1. The disease (v. 8.). It was paralysis, la paralysis the victim is helpless. 2. The centurion’s humility (v. 8).! (Hb first sent the Jewish elder* and[ then his friends (Luk^ 7:3, 6) because ha felt his own unworthlnes*. The condition of this servant was so grave that his master brushed aside timidity and personally appealed to Jesus 8. The centurion's faith (vv. 8. 9). «a believed that If Jesus would but apeak the word his servant wonlil he henled. His faith was so remark utile, that Jesus marveled because it wn.-t’ not like anything he had discerned among the chosen p<>ople. 4. The wonderful power of Jesus' (v. 13). He did not even need to see the helpless man and touch him, buti needed only to speak the word and it was done. III. Jesus Heals Peter's Mother in Law (8:14. 15). This woman was sick of a fever. Jesus was invited into Peter’s home to heal heT, and upon his touching the' hand of the palieut the fever left her. IV. Jesus Casts Out Demons (8 ;28-34). After stilling the tempest, Jesus crossed to the other side of the sea' into heathen territory. 1. Mot by two men possessed by demons (v. 28). These men were in a desperate condition (Mark 5; 1-17, and Luke 8:27). So tierce were they that no one could safely pass that way. Many today are demon possessed and their number is increasing (I Tim 4:1). 2. What they knew about Christ <v. 20). They knew that lie was the Son of God and that lie had come to destroy the devil and his work. Among demons there is no doubt as to the deity of Jesus Christ and the judg ment to come. 3. Limitation of the devil’s power, (v. 31). Although the devil is mightyJ in power, he cannot even enter a hog! without God’s permission. 4. Christ’s power to deliver from the devil (vv. 30-32). The demons quailed before him, nor daring to dispute his power, hut. begged permission to enter the swine. V. Jesus Opening the Eyes of Two Blind Men (9:27-31). 1. The intelligence of faith (v. 27). They cried unto him as the Son of David which showed they recognized him os the promised Messiah. The prophet had foretold such to be the. works of the Messiah (Isa. 29:18, S5:5, 41:7). 2. The persistence of faith (v. 28). These poor men had heard of the won derful works of Jesus. This wrought \ In them a desire to be healed. They, therefore, followed him along the way crying out for help. 3. The challenge of faith (v. 28). In reply to his challenge they gave him a definite answer. 4. The triumph of faith (w. 29,1 30). Their faith brought them into) touch with the Lord of life, who opened their eyes. jTHE* J. YYELUNTON *.
