impressive response, following a
strong message on THE Value of
Human soul"
DR.. Zimmerman pointed out
how God under many circum-
stances stressed individuality and
personality as opposed to the
present tendency to deal with to-
tails and masses, resulting in the
loss of individual personality and
consideration. He took his subject
from the 18th chapter Of Luke
where the Publicans and sinners
were pictured as drawing near
unto Jesus to hear Him, when
both the Pharisees and the scribes
murmured, saying "this man re-
ceiveth sinners, and eateth with
them," whereupon Christ spake
of the parallels of the lost sheep
and the lost piece of silver and
the prodigal son, upon which his
message last night was hinged.
"This is a day Of big business,
corporations, mass action and big
numbers and totals and the
stamping out and crushing of in
dividuality," declared DR.. Tim.
norman. "Sciense concerns itself
with the material, the physical
elements that compose the human
body. We don't take time to
list the individual and weigh the
value of the soul of man, the
worth of a personality"
"This mass thought and method
of doing things is dangerous to
the church and the development
of the individual soul. :. God
from the beginning of the human
race was concerned with the in
dividual and walked with him in
the garden on the cool Of the
evening. When mass action
began to develop with the rapid
increase of human souls he sent
Judges to deal with the people in
dividually and the prophets got in
their work. Gods last bold
stroke was when he climaXed all
his actions by sending his only
son to mix and mingle with peo-
pie and to deal with individual
life and stress the value of a soul
as Christ did in the parable of the
man leaving 80 sheep to 90 out
and look for one lost one; the
woman in the household he was
greatly worked up in the search
of the lost coin, and the broken
hearted father who made much
of the son who left his home,
family and friends to wander far
afield. Christ's message was
to the human heart, stressing the
worth of individuals. The
heart throbs of God have gone
out in the interest of individuals
regardless of physical environ
ment or social standing of the
race and it's living conditions. :.
Nicodemus was interested in mat
tiers of the soul and Christ saw
him alone. He saw the be-
draggled outcast of society in the
person of a woman alone at the
we'll. He talked with Peter
about feeding His sheep. He
gave Thomas, with his doubts, in
dividual attention and walked
along with the two men on the
way to EmmauS when their hearts
were heavy over the crucifixion"

lost for years in scrap heap.
Many of Gods precious children
Many Of Gods precious chill
dren are on the scrapheap of life.
God sent his son to rescue, re-
claim and restore them. Every
one weighs something on Gods
scales. / challenge you to do
something about individuals whom
you know to be bankrupt, broken
down and doomed, and became ex-
-ercised over their worth and help
restore them to something of the
pristine glory in which they were
created. We are responsible
when the lost are all about us
. Do your part and go in Gods
strength to the task of helping
reclaim the lost"
