tian" series will be continued and the
theme is "How do | know that l am
Christian2" Last Sunday evening the
question was: "What is a Christian
from the text "The disciples were called
Christians first at Antioch" What is
Chr;stian2 What would your answer be2
1t is not enough to say that Christian is
one who is a church member, or church
officer, or even minister OF church. for
of many of such the Master will be re-
quired to say, 81 never knew you" Nor
does the acceptance of a creed or state
ment of belief qualify one to be called a
Christian. What is Christian3 The
disciples were called Christians hrst at
Antioch They thought to heap insults

calling them Christians. They were given
this name because these disciples by their
daily lives, their spirit, practice and
speech, reminded folks of Christ. How
simple. A Christi n is one who by his
daily life, his spirit, his testimony, re-
minds you of Christ. Our folks then at
home, our associates in usiness, our
friends and neighbors ought to be able to
see something of the beauty and blessed
ness of Christ In US if we claim to be
Christians.

The world moves forward slowly be-
cause it lacks right leadership. Men are
what their leaders make them. Great |
examples are worth more to any people
than all their laws. Spirit governs, be it
good or bad. The dominant desire of
mans heart is the power that moulds
him; hence the practical value of the
prayer. LET the meditations of my
heart be always acceptable in thy sight"
Here 10 indicated the constant source of
such living and such leading as the world |
needs now. A mans life equals his be- |
lief. This source of excellent power, |
then, ID accessible to everyone. The |
world is crying today for this kind of
leadership; all about u are men and
women looking for examples of such
lives. A mans belief II what he is
What he most believes that he most
practices. The texture OF q piece OF
goods is not changed by Changing its

not only smell az sweet, but would re-
