Rev. A. B. Taylor Comments His
 Stand on Sunday Bill

\. F. Taylor. pastor of the Peoples Church of Christ. preached or How Jesus Is RcCcived' Sunday night lie said in part:
 Some receive Him into tho h0rnn but not into the heart. Luke ::5ti-:H gives us picture of man inviting Jesus to take meal with him. but there Is no record Of him becoming .t follower of Him. Jesus says. tn Matt. lU:IO to his disciples. They that re ccivc yOu receive me There are those today who will not accept Jesus into their lives, hut they will feel offended if we do not visit them. 1 had thls experience one day when an unsavcd man came tu mo and aafl 'you visit other people but you have not been To visit me.
 There are others that receive Jesus tpto the heart but not into the home John z - gives us D picture of a man who came 10 Jesus by night. Then in John 19:39. it tells Us that this same man minlstered unto Jesus. which gives Us every evidence that he was a follow CT of Jesus. but there K no record of him taking Jesus with him into his public life. There are many like him today. They want to be called Christians tut if you 20 into their homes you will 1nd no trace of Christ there. This Is not according 10 the plan Of Jesus. Mark 5:fo tells us that Jesus said To the man that was saved: Go home to thy friends and tell them what great things the Lord has done for thee.
 Then there are others that receive Him into the heart and home. In John 12 :1-3. we find picture of n fam iIy that had accepted Jesus into their lives and now He was in their home to be Il blessing. These are the kind of homes that will make America the kind of a nation she ought to be. No com munity will raise any higher than the home life. We cannot blame the young men and women who are only concerned about running the streets and having what they call Il good time. We must put the blame where it belongs, ana that K on the parents. There are parents in every city in the United states who have seen their sons and daughters make a shipwreck out of life because they did not make their homes what they ought To have been.
 Then there are still others that do not receive Him into the heart nor into the home. Mark 5:14-17 gives us a picture of the swine that were drowned und when the owners of the swine came and saw Jesus. the bible tells us that they began to pray Him 10 leave their borders. They thought more of their hogs than they did of Jesus. This is another picture of Paul disturbing their peace by bringing the gospel. People are the same today. they don't want 70 be disturbed so they stay away from church. The devil will see 10 il that they are entertained rather than hear the gospel and be saved.
 We have another picture of it in Tho Sunday Bilt that is being dis cussed today. America needs more men like Governor Lake who will stand for that which. has made America what it is today. What would you think of a man if he came to you and asked you for some money? On examination you find that you have seven dollars. You give him six of them and he goes around the corner and meets you on another street. and demands the other at the point Of n gun. You would say that he wns a low down skunk. But that is just what the people of Connecticut are do- ing. God has given them six days but they are not satisfied with that and don't appreciate what God has done for thcm, so now they have decided to st cal. the seventh. When thc people re fuse to obey the laws of God, then hat people begin to .desccud m the scales of morality.
