LIKENS RELIGION
TO HARVESTING
Those Who Would Reap Rewards i'm
Heaven Must Now Sow Seeds
of Righteousness.

a Harvest Meditation was the
theme of the sermon at Hope Presby-
terrain chapel Sunday evening by the
minister Rev. George William Ali
SON In presenting this seasonable
reflective meditation he used the text,
THE harvest is past, the summer is
ended, and we are not saved"-Jer.
SEQ. He said in part:
If we observe what is going on in
the world about us everywhere we are
struck with the fact OF the harvest.
Fields have been cleared of their
grain by the farmers. Trees are she'd
ding their leaves in preparation for
the winter The weeds are scenes of
busy industry. Squirrels are filling
their retreats with nuts for the future
cold OF the winter season. Birds are
retreating for the south from the
cold. Field mice are filling their bur
rows under corn shocks with kernels
Of grain. The harvest is past, the
summer ia ended and these have made
provision for the future and are saved.
What II the farmer neglected TO
SOW and reap when seasons were ripe?
he could but join in the vail OF the
prophet for his people. and say. The
harvest is past. the summer is ended,
and we are not saved
In the eyes OF the ancient prophet
the failure of his people TO be pro-
vided was not due 10 a failure of
crops, ii was due 10 the perverseness
Of a people who refused 10 plant that
they might reap. And that too, in
the fields Of religion.
The lesson here is very simple and
practical. There comes TO every in
dividual the time Of planting and the
time OF reaping. III he has not plant

portunity They might have had God
in their lives. but sadly they did noJ

crisis in their lives and they may cry

PASTOR DEFINES
LORD s PRAYER
Rev. Parsons AnalyzeS Petition
"Thy Kingdom Come" ard
Points Significance.

Rev. T. J. Parsons. pastor Of the
Quincy st. Baptist church, preached
on The Coming Kingdom" in his
series OF sermons on The Model
pro-. :" at the morning services sun
day. He SAID in part:
TT is is the second petition i'm the
so. c. ed Lords prayer. 1 wonder
how many people really stop TO think
what they are praying for when they
say Thy kingdom come This prayer
is taught TO children because OF it's
supposed simplicity, Us eminently suit
ed TO baby lips: people who are not
much in the habit Of praying usually
repeat the Lords prayer. if called on
IL pray; and semi-religious public as
semblies are in the habit Of Cabling
over this prayer as If in a hurry 20 be
done with a mere formality and get
10 the real business Of the occasion.
No more beautiful and comprehensive
prayer is ever uttered when spoken
reverently. intelligently and sincerely
by a devoted disciple Of Jesus Christ
Thy kingdom come 1t is Gods
kingdom. II is not a monarchy, nor
a democracy, nor plutOcracy. but a
theOcracy, or reign of God. The
prayer is an admission that there is a
sense in which God does not rule
among men. The truth of this is
painfully evident even today. Is God
King in America? We insCriDe on
our money, In God we trust, and then
exile Gods own Bible from the cur
rlculum Of our public schools, and
curse and prOfane God holy name
on the street and in places of bust
in Il fr1 naf he oc
is not even known among the heath
en- Do we really want God TO reign
over us?
The place for the kingdom is Of
next Importance. Some good people
have been 30 heavenly minded that
they can hardly bear To live on this
earth, and have given a quit claill
deed Of il To the devil and his heirs
forever. But God has not done so.
Earth shall yet be restored to her
primal allegiance. shall yet chant
again with morning stars the glory Of
her God. The next petition in the
Lords prayer implies this. Thy will
be done on earth Gods kingdom
viii be on earth. where the Babylon
ian, Persian, clan and Roman
kingdoms have sway. III was on
this earth that the serpent lef his
Shiny trail; on this earth paradise was
lost; on this earth the race Of man
was cursed. and by the decree of Al
mighty God this earth is 10 be the
scene OF the redemption of the race,
the restoration OF nature, and the es-
adjustment Of the kingdom of God.
The time of the kingdom is indi-
Gated in the prayer as being in the
future. Thy kingdom come means
may thy kingdom come 1t had not
come in ChTist's day, or He would not
have set his followers the task of
praying for it, The apostles also
spoke OF It as still future We are
ver'- sure il is not here now. for we
are praying this prayer with an in
sistency and earnestness born of the
convection that there is only one hope
for humanity in this unparalleled
time of stress and that is the speedy
answer To this petition

TRUE CHRISTIANITY
HELD TO BE CREEDLESS
Rev. Decker Declares Truth of Christ
Cannot he Confined To Crecds
Adopted by Churches

That true Christianity is essentially
CreedlesS. was the statement of Rev.
g. A. Decker, pastor of the First
Baptist church. in his sermon Sunday
morning. He said that opposition to
he CreedS OF the churches existed
because there is tendency to sub
sritute them for the scriptures. The
subject Of his sermon was What Is
the Need of a Creed?" He said In
part:
True Christianity is essentially
CrCedless and by this is meant that
the truth Of Christ and His religion
cannot be confined TO the creeds that
have been adopted from time TO time
hv the councils of the churches.
we are opposed TO the creeds Of
the churches because there is ten
dency TO substitute them for the scrip
tires. In nearly every heresy trial
he question is whether the accused
s out of harmony with the creeds.
not whether his teaching is unscrip-
tural
The creeds are a check upon in
tellectual and spiritual growth, that
=. il any attention is paid 20 them.
and If no attention is given them
they are an incumbrance IL is ab-
surd 10 expect men OF one generation
&C. think in the same term that the
men Of a previous generation have
thought Intellectual progress Is be-
ing made in every other field of in
'cstigation. Why should we not eX-
ucCt progress in the realm OF relis-
lono
The creeds do not conserve oTtho-
doXy. There is as great a divergence
of opinion ON theological matters in
the churches which require their peo-
pie 10 subscribe 10 creed as there
IS i'm those churches which have no
creed Our objection TO the creed Is
D OF because we want 10 believe less,
but more And. because we want be-
lief In the great truths OF the scrip
lures 10 be unhampereG by the pc
suliarities OF men. The councils OF
the church have adopted creeds that
have needed revision as time went on.
This indicates that such statements
have not been final. Creeds change
because human thought about God
and the eternal veTities changes.
Therefore. il is wrong 20 endeavor to
bind the statement OF the thought OF
one age on the people OF another age.
What is needed is not that we
shall attempt TO bind our theories up
on others and require them 10 believe
exactly as we do on all the multitude
Of religious questions, but that there
shall be a living faith in the living
God and Jesus Christ whom He has
sent. Life does not need n straight
.acket-it needs room 20 grow"
