SUNDAYS
 SERMONS
COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN CHURCH

"Meeting the Challenge" was the subject of the sermon last night, tine text being the words of Paul: Where fore. l was not diSobcdient unto the heavenly vision" The operation of the military draft law has tested the pa triotism of many citizens. It has call ed for a concrete response which de termined whether a man is at heart loyal, willing and ready to respond with sacrifice for a great cause or whether he is as heart a stacker. The kingdom of God has also its loyal citi- zens and it's slackers. The rich young ruler, Judas, Delmas, morally up right as they appeared, showed them selves at heart slackerS, when the real challenge came. Paul responding to the heavenly vision, Moses to the the burning bush, each forsaking ease, popularity and temporary prestige to identify himself with lowly and des- pissed people for their redemption, met life's supreme challenge as only great souls can. They fellowshipped with Chhrist in bearing a full heart bur den of human failure and spiritual
 poverty. Every unwholesome moral condition; every weak and failing fel- bowman, every willful sinner presents a standing challenge to the citizen of the kingdom of God. Jesus calls us to burden our hearts with the spirit ual needs Of our friends, of our brotherhood. Do we respond with sac rifcial effort or are we slackers? "As the Father sends me, so I send yoW"

TRIED TO ENLIST AT
JOHNSON'S SUGGESTION

One day last week Charles
Harter was arrested on a charge
of drunkenness and was taken
before Justice of the Peace
Johnson on the following day.
The Justice suggested that Har-
ter enlist for service in France
and let him off.
1t afterwards developed that
Harter endeavored TO enlist on
Saturday. and came very near
making the grade, but was
finally turned down at the local
recruiting office. His intention
was right, anyhow.
