JESUS AND THE SABBATH
LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:3; Mark
2 2- 2 S Matthew 12:9-13.
MEMORY SELECTION—This is the
da1 which the l ord hath made: we will
rejoice and be glad in it.—Psalm 118:24.
“The Sabbath was made for
man,” and was ordained of God for
the good of man's body and soul. It
was intended to be a day of glad
fellowship w th the Lord.
Since the Sabbath — the seventh
day — was essentially one of rest
and worship, the principles which
surrounded it and directed its life
may be applied to our day of rest,
which is the first day of the week
the Lord’s day.
That word “rest” sounds a little
strange in this busy world of ours,
and yet it is an important one. It
means ouiet for the struggling one,
calm for the troubled, repose for
the weary, cessation of labor for
the worn-out one.
God in his infinite wisdom saw
that without rest man would soon
destroy himself, and he made pro
vision for one day in seven when
labor should cease and man should
be free for that recreation of soul
and body which should fit him for
the labor of the foeek.
1. A Day of Holiness (Exod. 20:8).
God gave his people a holy
day to balance up their days of la
bor and to bring blessing to their
souls. On that day he decreed that
they should come apart from their
labors, turn from secular interests
and turn their hearts and minds
to the unseen and the eternal. Man
would become so engrossed in the
things of this world that ha would
soon forget; therefore, God com
mands him to stop and worship.
That should be sufficient to cause his
people to “remember” the day “to
keep it holy.”
Notice that the day of rest was
to be not only for the family, but
also for servants and for visitors.
The employer who unnecessarily
operates his factory or office on Sun
day violates this commandment.
Note also that the man who is to
rest on the seventh day is suppposed
to work on the six days. Some
neglect to do both.
This matter of keeping the Lord’s
day holy is one which has tremen
dous imputations in the Uves of our
i 'dren. Many men and women
who have had built into their own
characters the stalwart virtues nur
tured by family attendance at di
vine worship have not only forgotten
their own continuing need, but are
destroying the interest of their chil
dren in church attendance.
It is serious enough to go astray
in one’s own life, but to lead one’s
children astray is an appalling re
sponsibility. Let’s keep the Lord's
day as a holy day.
II. A Day of Helpfulness (Mark
2:23-28).
The formalists of Christ’s day, the
Pharisees, had overlooked the heart
o' God’s law and the holy living
which it was intended to produce,
and had bound up even the observ
ance of the sabbath (which was in
tended to be a day of rest and glad
ness) in such a mass of technical
“thou r’lalt not’s” that it was a day
. of fear
The ccusations against the disci
ples jecause they had taken and
eat^.1 grain was not on the ground
that they had stolen, for the law
(Deut. 23:25) guaranteed that right
to the one who passed through his
neighbor’s field. The Pharisees con
tended. however, that the disciples
had worked on the Sabbath in pick
ing and hulling the grain.
God’s laws are helpful laws, and
it is only when men pervert them,
or add to them their own traditions
and interpretations, that they be
come burdensome to anyone who is
God-fearing and obedient.
HI. A Day of Healing (Matt. 12:
9-13).
Jesus made it clear that healing
of the body (yes, and of the soul)
was most appropriate on the Sab
bath day; in fact, that is the very
day for it.
The healing of the man with the
withered arm revealed that back of
the Pharisees’ professed concern
for the Sabbath was a real hatred
for Christ. It is an appalling thing
that in the house of worship on the
very Sabbath day, these men,
outwardly so religious, were plot
ting against our Lord.
Jesus cuts across human hypoc
risy and hatred to declare that the
true keeping of the Sabbath is to do
the work of God. No work of neces
sity (like plucking the grain) or of
mercy (like healing the withered
arm) is ever out of place on the day
of rest.
A word of caution is needed, for
some have sought to interpret this
Scripture as providing biblical
ground for doing all sorts af things
on their day of rest. That day is
for man’s good, not for his destruc
tion. His greatest good is served
by rest, worship, spiritual develop
ment, Christian fellowship, and the
doing of deeds of necessity and
mercy.
The desecration of the Lord’s day
in our time is a serious matter.
Let us not contribute to it.

Reverend E. B. Chilldress
Mason Devereaux Jr., reporter
Guest speaker for the 11 o’clock
services Sunday was our own na
tive son of Omaha Rev. Jessie
Glover. His inspirational message
hi' Jeremiah 10:31, choosing as
his timely subject “Loyalty to
JGod’s House”. Several thoughts
he left for us to ponder over were
as follows: The cause shall not
suffer at my hand; we should for
give and forget as Jesus Christ
does and not as mortal man; «and
finally, the church of Jesus Christ
must and will move on in its Christ
ian work to the glory of the Fa
ther.
1 Rev. Glover was accompanied
by his family and several friends
on his way back to his church in
Los Angeles. The following were
in his party; his wife Mrs. Jessie
Glover, their children and their
playmate Selma Glover, Huberteen
Glover and Francis Dickerson.
Mrs. George Payne of Piladelphia.
Visitors: Mrs. Emma Campbell
sister of Mrs. Carrie Howell of
New York City; Mrs. Mable Gal

Presiding Elder and Pastor ex
tends to the members of St. Johns
their cordial thanks for a very
fine closing quarterly conference.
All reports were splendid and in
keeping with the Christian spirit
of the St. Johns church. It is high
ly significant to observe that our
church has passed stronger organ
ization. Standing more solid, fir
mer and more immovable against
all that may prevail against her
for the honor and glory of the
Father and the Son Jesus Christ.
For all the officers, pastor and
members in this day of many
challenging problems realize that
in strength there is unity and have
so banned together to build for
our children, our community, and
city, a church that shall stand as
solid as the Rock of Gibralter.
The officers and pastor urge the
members of St. Johns to attend
the Henry Markham concert at
Zion Baptist church of which Rev.
F. C. Williams is pastor Friday
evening August 2 at 8 pm. This
very fine program is being pre
sented by the Rubernette Club of
Zion.
If you didn’t attend that excel
lent breakfast given by the Will
ing Workers Club Sunday July
28, we can only say that you sure
missed a rare treat. That delicious
ham and eggs, fried potatoes, hot
buscuits, and hot coffe hit the spot.
Ladies we salute you and your
very fine president Mrs. Lillian
Vincent for a very good breakfast.
Let us plan to take our children
to the annual Sunday School out
ing at Elmwool Park Thursday,
August 8th. Pack a large lunch
and come and stay all day.
A generous audience in attend
ance and contribution witnessed
the monthly All Request program
presented by our choir and its
directress Mrs. Pearl Gibson Sun
day evening July 28th. Honored
guests Rev. and Mrs. J. Glover
and daughters and guests.
As always the choir gave an ex
cellent program filled with spirt

rw
Saint Louis, Missouri, August 4 (Special) An appeal for
faith in Christ, who was “offered once for all,” was issued
today by the Reverend George W. Wittmer, pastor of Mes
siah Lutheran Church and summer guest speaker on the
International Lutheran. Hour, peaking over the Mutual
Broadcasting System and affiliated stations, Pastor Witt
mer declared: “A few weeks ago the people of America and
of all the countries of the world were fascinated by the re
ports of the preparations and the results of the test of a
tomic power made at Bikini. I would tell you of a power
given by God Himself, far more forceful, endlessly more
energetic, immensely more mighty, tremendously more
dynamic than atomic energy or any force or combination
of forces discovered by men. I would bring to your atten
tion the central fact of all history, the focal point of all
prophecy, the treasure of all treasures, the fountain from
which the streams of true liberty, hope and joy have flow
ed, the fact of your salvation accomplished and perfected
in and through Christ Jesus, God’s eternal Son, the fact
that Christ was offered once for all.”
Pastor Wittmer continued: “There is one necessary
preparation for us; namely, to know and to be certain that
Jesus ‘Christ was once offered to bear the sms of many.’
What immeasurable mercy has our God manifested toward
us! From eternity He decided upon a plan for our salva
tion. Knowing that man would sin against His command
ments, knowing that man could not rescue himself from
the guilt or punishment of his iniquity, God decided that
His own Son, Jesus Christ, should leave the glory and ma
jesty of heaven to come down to this earth to take upon
Himself the guilt and the punishment of man's sin, the
whole hideous and repulsive burden of man s transgres
sions, from the time of Adam unto the time of the last per
son that shall be born upon this earth. He tells us that
Christ came to assume the punishment of the many, the
vast multitude of men who lived, live now, and shall yet
live upon this earth. He is ‘the Lamb of God that taketh
away the sins of the world.’ The prophet Isaiah says: ‘God
hath laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.’ ”
Jesus Care.’ Keep up the good
work choir for it is difficult to
express in words the appreciation
and pride of St. Johns in you.
Thank you a thousand times.
The Sunshine Charity Club was
reorganized on last Thursday July
25. Mrs. Hattie Adams is the new
president and Mrs. Lula Washing

ges its whole-hearted support to
this organization. May God bless
you in your efforts in behalf of

Rev. E. F. Ridley, Pastor
Sunday July 28th was an enjoy
able day at the Independent Com
munity church. The pastor’s text
was (But Daniel Purposed in his
heart that he would not defile him
self with the portion of the King's
meat—Dan. 1:8), subject “A Bold
Stand”.
The sermon was well received by
the full congregation. The pre
sence of the Holy Spirit was quite
evident. Seven persons united with
the church. We were very happy
to have so many visitors in our
midst. We wish it to be distinctly
understood that visitors are always
welcome. We extend a cordial in
vitation to everyone to come and
worship with us.
The pastor and members have
and enjoy, a pronounced pleasure
in that we are free in every way
from any dictation from, or resp
onsibility to any person or persons
outside of the local church itself.
The Independent Community
church is sovereign in itself as
regards the affairs of the church.

ment, finance, business and policy
are governed by the local church
body.

the name of the church, shall be
owned by the church and congre
gation as an incorporate body.
We are interdenominational or

Sunday was a great day at the
Christ Temple. In the absence of
the pastor who is attending the
Western Diocese convention in Los
Angeles Rev. J. W. Goodwin the
assistant pastor brought us a stir
ring message at 11 am., which en
riched our spiritual lives. Mr. Por
ter and wife were visitors accom
panied by his brother from Ohio
who paid tribute to Rev. Goodwin’s
message. The choir had charge of
the evening service but between
the different songs, Rev. Goodwin
invited any one present to say a
word if they felt so disposed. Rev.
Jessie Manley took advantage of
the opportunity offered and gave
a 10 minute talk following the
song “Does He Care”, and his ex
pressions made on the subject de
picted the loving care of Christ to
humanity which extended beyond
the comprehension of infinite crea
tures. Mothel Colquit also expres
sed to the members of the church
how she appreciated their care of
her afflicted condition. She said
Sister Ollie Jones and the Hogans
were ready to bring her to and
fro during church services. Mr.
and Mrs. Benson were visitors,
also others who seemed to really
enjoy the choir service, ou are al
ways welcome at Christ Temple.

H. H. Schauland, Pastor
A little boy in Sunday School
told his pastor, "Mrs. Jones has a
colored Bible”. The pastor was
wondering what kind of Bible this
might be. The next time he was
at Mrs. Jones’ home, he said to
her: “I heard you have a colored
Bible. Is that right ? May I see it ?
She brought out her Bible and
said, ‘‘This is the only Bible I have'
It was full of pencil marks. Where
the Bible talked about sin, she
had marked those verses black,
because ‘sin is black' she said. The
verses on forgiveness were mark
ed red, because 'our sins are for
given through the blood of Jesus'.
And so she had many other colors
and every color meant something.
The pastor said, “I like your col
ored Bible; I wish all our people
would read and mark their Bibles
as you do”.
The Bible is the text book for
all preaching and instruction ire
the Lutheran Churqh. All sermons
preached in Hope Lutheran are
based squarely on the Bible. They
are Christ-centered and applied to
the needs of all people. Since all
people are in need of a Savior,
Hope Lutheran cordially invites
the people of Omaha to its servi
ces beginning every Sunday at
11 am. The text for August 4th
is Mark 4, 26-29. The topic: "The
Hidden Growth of the Believer”.

We have the facilities and staff
to accomodate at least 100 more
children. We plead with you to

"Feed my lambs!”

theran Hour sermons. Tune in at
