Raines, Minister Mrs. Jeanie Englisb, Reporter The Choir sang “I’ll Let No thing Seperatg Me From His Love’ Before the pastor delivered his sermon he asked the congrega tion to sing “Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross”. His sermon was from Isaiah 6:8, “Alsol heard the voice of the lord, saying whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I Here am I send me’’. Even though our friends may turn their backs on us, we must stand up for Jesus Christ. Life in this world is uncertain, but death is sure.

Schauland, Pastor Tuesday, Sept. 2, marks the be-1 ginning of another school term for most of the children our city. Great expense is involved in get ting the schools in readiness so that children may learn the facts of good citizenship, the 3 R’s and so forth under the best possible conditions. All this is pleasing in God’s sight. However, more im portant than all secular know ledge is the Word of God which makes children "wise unto sal vation”. The benefits of earthly education fade away with the passing years, while the blessings of Christian knowledge and faith abide forever. Realizing this important truth, Hope Lutheran is conducting a Christian Day School. The public schools cannot teach religion. It is an agency of the State, and the State is not allowed to teach re ligion. The Constitution of our country forbids that. The teach 1 matter in which every Christian congregation should be vitally concerned. The Christian Day School solves the vexing problem of adequate religious training for the children of the Church. The Sunday School oannot properly meet the need of religious in struction. The time is too short * to do much. The Christian Day School is the only solution. Hope Lutheran School, grades 1 to 8 and including kindergarten. : is being conducted in the church basement. The best lighting, ven tilation, desks and other school supplies are furnished to make it possible for our children to study under the most suitable con ditions. The school open Sept. 2 at 9 a. m. No tuition or book rental charges will be made. All the secular branches of study are taught as thoroughly as anywhere else, but in addition there are daily courses in religion, and the whole curriculum is dominated by a religious spirit. Only 25 child, ren will be accepted, irst come, first served. \Bring Christ to the Nations ST. LOUIS, MO. — An appeal for faith in Christ was issused today by the #Rev. Henry Hart ner, Pastor of Emmaus Lutheran Church* Deliver*, Colorado, and summer guest speaker on Bring ing Christ to the Nations, the ! International Lutheran Hour. Speaking over be Mutual Broadcasting System and affili ated stations, Pastor Hartner de clared: “Jesus says to every fol j lower, ‘As My Father hath sent Me, even so I send you.’ We do not realize the way we should, that one of the great words in the vocabulary of Jesus is the word, ‘Go’’. There is another word we like much better, ‘Come’. We love to hear Him say, ‘Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' Let’s pause to realize that all who come to the Lord Jesus are also told to go. He called the twelve to Him, filled with His truth and then told them to go and testify to His name among men. He called the seven, ty to Him and gave them a mes sage for the saving of men and said, ‘Now go, and tell it abroad.’ And to more than 500 gathered to hear His last charge He spoke that word once more, ‘Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, heaven and earth can pass away but never the Word of our Lord’s will for his life, he will hear again the same charge, ‘Go and seek the lost in order to save them.” Pastor Hartner continued: now at>out me cnurcn or your day and mine? Is she fulfilling the command of Christ ? Is she earnestly seeking the lost to savc them? And I suspect you know the answer before I tell you. Last year some sixty religious denom inations in our land, and that in- 1 eludes all important churches, made an annual increase in membership of less than two per cent. Just looking at that fact from the standpoint of the bill I ions of dollars which are invest. ' ed in church property and mill-1 ions of professing Christians who j ought to be witnessing for their I dear Lord, such a low rate of' annual increase is nothing short | of terrible; but as a matter of fact, that isn’t half of it. Statis ticians tell us that only about thirty percent of all church mem. bers attend church with any de gree of regularity, twenty per cent attend irregularly, and fifty percent just go to church once or twice a year or not at all. What is the matter?” The radio speaker concluded: “The plain fact of the matter then is that every follower of the Lord Jesus has a divine ob ligation to witness unto others the glory of the love of Jesus which he himsejf has received, to tell them ‘the sweetest story ever told.’ It is very true that Jesus has prepared the feast of everlasting salvation; but it is also true that you and I are to fill that banquet hall.
