Rev. L- P. 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.

less from whom it may come. Seek

God as they enter his house”. A
question to all of us “Is the Gospel
Fulfilled In Your Heart Today?”

“You must be bom again.” These

of Rev. Williams’ Sunday morning

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: 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.

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.
