Sunday School Lesson for May 20
Subject: Making the Neighborhood
Christian.
Two weeks ago our subject was The
Church; last week, The Home, and
this, The Neighborhood.
The P. R. r. Co. outgrew their
quarters in certain city in the East
They went Is miles outside the city,
built shops, yards, etc.; their en-
ployes built quite bit of a town
most of them were Christian and they
wanted a place of worship. One man
knew minister with the United
Brethren people, two miles away. He
said to his fellow employees, let US
make up a purse large enough to
build good sized meeting house
They did. Then out of respect they
let him get the man for the pulpit
We'll he went to the United Brethren
people. And why not? And now it
was called United Brethren church,
and why not? But the membership
was made up of all evangelistic de-
nominations. A good live congrega
ton. | held the first meeting there
blessed time, blessed fruit; some of
it there yet; some have slipped away
to be with Jesus. Money always in
the treasury, no begging, no church
suppers, no divisions. Well, the city
was Christian. Men came there to
open saloons, but no go during the
three years this program was on and
you see the devil didn't like that. So
he sent a Presbyterian man there to
drag the Presbyterians out; later q
BAPTIST man; later a Methodist man,
and later a Christian man, and by
this time they had the little town
churched to death. Yes! | have for
gotten to mention the Lutherans. The
whole thing was pity in the sight of
heaven-no more people saved, could
not command the respect of any man
and it became anything but Christian,
/ Strange indeed that sensible people
in so many ways will be such fools III
what they call our religion, to let men
make them believe they are serving
| God. How we'll the devil does know
/ that every time he can make a divis-
ion in the church he weakens the saw
ing power of the whole thing. Man
was not nor is not the author of sin,
Only the channel through which il
comes and goes, and we can thank
God that we did not originate it and
by the saving and keeping power of
God through our Lord Jesus Christ
we don't need to let the devil make us
channel for his dirt.
There is absolutely no way to es-
innate the value of Holy Spirit-flled
minister in a community. He feels
the Holy dignity of his place. He
stands unafraid; he is to speak to
men about the most important mat
ters of two worlds, he is to warn, re.
huke, entreat and promise; the Holy
Spirit of God is upon him. People

the faithful and efficient director
Through tears OF love Mrs. McGeoch
responded with words of appreciation
for the friendship and loyalty shown
