Al st. StcpI,en's-A Bad Woman saved.


A good sized congregation of mostly
young people attended The Sunday fore.
noon services conducted by Pastor Fred
eric Doerr at st. Stephens English Luth-
cran Church.
"secst thou this woman" Luke Z: A: Q,
was his text.
In his Introductory he digested the sub.
Jects of curiosity itching ears, scandal and
human nature In its social pLi.ctice.
The woman the Savior usked them to
look at we may all behold with ediflcation
especially the Pharisees of our day as we'll
as those who expressed adherence Of his
recognition of her.
She was known to them as q woman Of
the town and u great sinner. But Jesus
knew her as u penitent. She fell weeping
Mt His feet and bathed them with her
tears wiped them with her hair and an
nolnted them with precious ointment.
Jesus rccited a parable Of two debtors and
taught the Pharisees that the woman
loved much because her sins which were
many had been forgiven,
When God forglves our sin He forgives
all. 1t is not necessary to do penitonce for
each and every sin. by faith in tho Son
OF God and his forgiveness the woman was
lifted for the society of heaven.
Moral degradation and sowing wild
oats are not things worthy OF boasting.
The many do not escape the lrreparable
consequences. Loss of life and loss Of soul
arc most serious results.
Tho woman was q repentant and be-
llcving sinner saved by faith in the Son of
God.
The preacher advised all to accept the
same salvation on the same conditions.
