RELIGIOUS NEWS ST JOHN AME CHURCH 22ND AND WILLIS AVE. REV. E B. CHILDRESS, Pastor MASON DEAVEREAUX, Reptr. A capacity congregation heard our minister Rev. Childress Sunday morning, March 23, 1947 deliver a inspiring sermon from Luke 9th chapter 59th verse. He chose as the subect of his rich Christian message filled with the Holy spirit of God the Father “Follow Me”. 'If a man’s going to walk with God he must lay aside his false excus es. A man or woman can’t walk with Jesus Christ today following in the traditions, customs, mores, and folksays of yesterday, and if a man or woman doesn't execute the program God has sustained for him or her, God will call that per son for he or she is just in the way of the building of a kingdom of Heaven here on earth, several thoughts from our minister’s morn ing message. Visitors: David Colston of Oma ha, Miss Sadie George of Omaha, Mrs. Woodson, Mrs- Durant from Louisville, Ky., Mrs. Logan from Kansas niece of Rev. Metcalf. *** OFFICIAL If is with the greatest of pleas ure and pride we announce to our many friends and entire member ship of our church, over the length % , and breath of these United States,, as well as Omaha, that on Sunday, April 13, 1947, St. John AME | Church of Omaha, Nebraska, will I hold its Pre-Dedication of its main auditorium of worship.

SCHAULAND, Pastor Sunday, March 30, is Palm Sun day, the beginning of Holy Week. During this week the Christian Chuich throughout the world in a special maner commemorates the suffering and death of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Some of the most important events in the life of Cnrist took place during that week There is Maundy Thursday when Jesus instituted the Feast of Love, the Lord’s Supper, there were the trials before Caiaphas, Herod, Pi late and most important of all the crucifixion, death and burial of Jesus. Christians know the mean ing of these events and therefore only they can properly observe them in a fitting way- It is true, the observance of these days has had its eiiect upon non-Christians, at least outwardly, but only believ ers in Christ can correctly observe these Christian holidays. And since Christians know the significance of Holy Week, they ought to show their gratitude to God for what He has done for them thru Jesus. The Passion Story of Jesus should arouse in ev -eryone of us a deep sense of sor row over our sins because we know that also our sins helped to cruc ify the Lord of Glory. It should furthermore move us to cling to Jesus in true faith knowing that by His sacrifice our sins are washed away. Any one who thus observ es Holy Week wil also consecrate himself anew to the service cf Christ and His holy Church. Such consecration will show itself in godly living and diligent hearing and study of God’s word. Services will be conducted at the Hope Lutheran on Palm Sunday at 11 a. m. Good Friday Service at 8 p. m. The public is also invited to attend the Noon-day services at the State Theatre on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday 12 to 12:25. The Rev. V. Gloe of Kan sas City, Mo., will be the speaker on both days. CHURCH OF GOD ELDER S. S. SPAGHT Pastor MRS. MINNIE LONG, Reporter We the saints of the Church of God welcome you to come worship with us and hear the wonderful truths being brought forth by our spirit-filled pastor. Elder S. S. Spaghts. We were blessed in our morning services with the wonder ful presented message "He shall not come into the city saith the Lord” H King-20-33 The message aeqainted us more thoroughly with the tactics of satan his objects and desires which are to destroy the souls of men, make man to forget God and many other deterimental things. Our souls were greatly fed. The message helped us as Christians to be more alert as sa tan is seeking to devour. Our leader in Christian Educat ion throughout the Interstate dis I trict of Nebraska, Kansas, and I Missouri, Elder Robert L. Moody, was with us Friday instructing us in ‘Opening the Bible to Children and Teaching Children in the Small Church”. Our sessions last ed one day.

FIRST MISSION OF GOD-SENT light PROPHET HESS, Pastor ORA ROBINSON, Reporter Sunday was another day of re joicing in the Lord and of giving thanks to God for His tender mer cy and goodness to the children of men. Our pastor preached a won derful sermon Sunday. Our hearts were made glad as we feasted on the word. Text was taken from 31 psalm 1st and -10th verses, sub. “In Thee O’Lord do I put my trust. Every child of God must put his or her trust in the Lord, because He is our all in all. Without Him we are nothing. He is life, in our blood, action of our limbs and in finite and a perfect spirit. You are always welcome to worship with us. Services Tues., Thurs., and Sundays 8 p. m. also every Sunday at 12 noon at 2428 Decat ur Streets. Reverend F. C. Williams Closes Successful Union Services for 1947 Reverend F. C Williams of the Zion Baptist Church was the clos ing speaker of another successful Union Services of the 1947 season on Sunday evening, March 23, 1947 His spiritual-filled congregation heard him and his choir in a ser vice filled with good fellowship, and brotherhood raised the King dom of God here on earth to great er heights. Rev. Williams chose his sermon from Proverbs 4th chap ter and 12th verse and numbers 13 chapter 27th verse, subject being “Faith in God”. This year they were short in number of churches participating in the Union Services, but they were as inspiring or more so, as in past years. The determination to go on in the name of Almighty God, despite the smallest in num bers these faithful ministers such as Rev. Williams, Rev. Raines, Rev. Childress and their support from Rev. F. S. Goodlett and Rev. Smith, feel that their decision to carry on. has more than been am ply rewarded. The achievement of this successful season has been through the cooperation, unific ation and the confidence of the membership and friends of these churches. It is hoped this warm fellowship that was so manifested throughout these Union meetings, shall be everlasting. Total attendance at the Union meetings with five church in 1946 was 3600 and total attendance of the Union meetings in 1947 with three churches was 3373, which is definite indication that if one trusts and holds on to God the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ, the future holds no fear for that j person or persons. It is hoped by these fellow min isters that the fellow churches who were unable to be with them this is an Easter seal It’s only a small piece of crinkly edged paper with a back that's mighty sticky when it gets wet. . . Maybe it doesn’t look like much, but I know a lot of kids who see plenty in this little Easter seal . ..

Lots of them see camp . . . camp in the summer, good hot sunshine, real trees, acres of sweet-smelling green grass, and swimming, playing . . , like other kids . .. But don’t get me wrong, mister— they don’t really see all this. These kids just dream it, because that’s what they can have with the dollars you spend for Easter seals . . .

GoodwiI Sprung Musicl Chorus To Have a Very Important Rehearsal The time growing near, makes the rehearsals very important for the 13th Annual Goodwill Spring Musical Festival. The program will be made up of new numbers and will take more time to get them perfected. Some Choir members are putting other things first and, shall we say, expect to come in on the last rehearsals. Be careful and not let the deadline cut you out, be cause we would like to have all Choir members take a part, but it cannot be done without making the rehearsals. We have an outlook for more out of town people than any past year, to say nothing of the people of our city, who say they have nev er come to our Services before, but are coming this year. We are told of a large group in Sioux City, Iowa, who will make a special trip down for the Concert, and a special party from Lincoln1^ Nebraska. We hear Mr. Bell's mother and perhaps others who will come from St. Louis, Mo. Another reason why all should make the rehearsals is that some of the numbers now being re hearsed, will be used at the Creigh ton Stadium on June 12, 1947, when there will likely be one thou sand people on the program. The rehearsals are being held at • Bethel AME. Church every Sun day at 4 pm. and Tuesday nights at 8 pm. and will be except on the Easter Sunday until time for the program.

Released by Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR MARCH 30 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. JESUS LAYS DOWN HIS LIFE . LESSON TEXT—John 18:37. 38; 19:19 16. 25b-30. MEMORY SELECTION—For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son. that whosoever believetn in him should not perish but have ever lasting life_John 3:16. The cross of Calvary, from man's viewpoint, was "a paradox. There is something startling and seeming ly incredible about the idea of a crucified king, particularly if those who do the crucifying are the king’s own subjects. Kingship implies rulership over others, and not suf fering and death at their hands. Pilate told the simple truth when he exclaimed, ‘Behold your King,! and when he flung out the sarcastic question, ‘Shall I crucify your King?’ he was speaking more truly than he knew. ITiey were, verily, doing the incredible thing of de manding the death of their King, their Messiah, yea, of the very Son. of God” (B. L. Olmstead). I. Jesus Said, “I Am a King” (18:37. 38). Jesus was before Pilate. The Jews had accused him of declaring him self to be king (see Luke 23:2). Pilate demanded, "Art thou King of the Jews?” (v. 33). Jesus did not answer directly at first, but declared his kingdom to be "not of this world” (v. 36), in dicating to Pilate that he was deal ing with One who was more than an earthly king. When Pilate persisted, Jesus openly declared, "I am a king.” The expression "Thou sayest” (v. 37) carries the thought, “You say that I am a king and you are right. I am a king.” It was in no sense a disavowal of his royalty, but a declaration of it. Pilate, troubled, convinced of Christ's innoceney but too cow ardly to declare it, hid behind man’s proverbial inability to know the truth (v. 38), and wrote himself into history as a hypocritical cow ard. What have we to say—what have you to say, dear reader, to Christ’s claim to Kingship over your life? Should we not say, “He is not only king of the Jews, he is the King at my life”? II. The "nests Said, "We Have No King” (19:19-16). Pilate, in fleshly pride, taunted Jesus with his power to determine his fate. He did have much power as the representative of Rome, but power over Jesus he did not have. Majestic indeed was the reply ol the King. In a brief sentence Jesus put Pilate on trial before the judg ment throne of God. Only because the time Ivd come for the Son oi God to die was Pilate permitted to exercise his governmental power (see Rom. 13:1), and he would an swer for his decision one day in the presence of God. Of especial interest to us just now is the statement of Jesus: “He that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.” It was the high priest Caiaphas who had that guilt. Yes, and it was the high priests who declared, "We have no king but Caesar,” after Pilate, driven by their cunning threat (v. 12), had sarcastically asked them, "Shall I crucify your king?” (v. 15). The awful declaration which they made then was on behalf of the en tire nation, and declared themselves against Jesus and loyal to Lie pagan Caesar. No King? Countless are the men and women today who by their re jection of Christ have declared that they would not have him rule over them. And sad but true is the fact that those who neglect to receive | his great salvation have rejected him! III. Jesus Said, “It Is Finished" , (19:25-30). In his time of greatest anguish Jesus, in an act of tender thought | fulness, provided for his mother, and gave the beloved disciple John u high place of privilege and re sponsibility, He thus, as he made his last request, brought together the two who in all his human rela tionships had been closest to hia heart. Ready for the final word before ! he died, Jesus received the refresh ment which quenched his awful i thirst. Then crying out with a loud voice, “It is finished” (Matt. 27:50), he commended his soul into the hands of the Father (Luke 23:46). What was finished? The great re demptive work, the work of recon ciliation and atonement. The Lamb erf God had made his great sacrifice Tor the world—it is this that was completed. Our great Substitute had paid the great ransom price, paid it to the uttermost farthir.® “It is*finished indeed. Others will yet preach and teach, and Jesus will work through them; as the King on David’s throne his regal work will continue forever; but the re demptive shedding of his blood once for all is finished, and stands as finished forever (Heb. 7:27; 9:12, 26; Rom. 6:10)” (R. C. H. Lenski)! Hallelujah, what a Saviourl Is be your Saviour? If not, turn to him by faith just now.
