Those. Churchless.
|Neighbors

1t is a tragic fact that there
are great numbers of vacant pews
In churches of the land each Sun
cay while there are thousands
around who seldom or never dar-
ken the door of a place of worship.
The mere announcement that SER
vices are being held in the church-
es each Sunday does not bring the
people to''the House of God.
Distressed by this condition a
city church entered. into a cam
paign with other congregations
recently in district canvass to
discover what was wrong and also
what could be accomplished. Reg
u,ar attendants of the various
communions were left off the call
ing list; only those whose church
connection was tirilnown-if they
Had any-were to be Visited. The
callers were friendly brethren who
sought by persuasion and by man.
ner to secure q larger church at
tendance. s.,..,s 49,.
Some curious situations were
discovered. For instance, one IA
mily that claimed to be Baptist
had not been in Baptist church
for several years.. because in a
period of sorrow, they, claimed the
church had neglected them. Whe-
TIER that was a fact or not could
not be established for those who
would know the truth of the mat
ter. were; not available but this
r1uch was revealed-for all those
years the family had cherished a
deep grudge against the denomin-
alton and the churches, a state
that could produce nothing but
unhappiness and spiritual dwarf
ing. The visitors were cordially
received, however, and they left
with a hope that the home would
be restored to the church again.
Perhaps in that far; distant day
ell were to blame. Perhaps the
membership of the church was
none too sympathetic in the day
of sorrow but equally true it is
that the family did not act in the
finest way. But; that is human
nature, unfortunately.
It is too early yet to know what
has been accomplished by the
house to house campaign but this
much is certain-there have been
strangers at all services since the
brethren went looking for church

! First T want 10 call your atten-
b tion to Heb. 6:1-2. Paul saw that
there would be no resurrection of
the dead as we've been taught, be
sure your read every scripture. I
give you prayerfully- asking God
for an understanding, and will
declare he will make, you under
stand. Let us notice list Cor. IS:
35-36-37- 49, Paul knew that some
one would ask this question, If you
say the dead will not rise, then
how are the dead raised up, and
with what body do they come?
We will notice the answer. Thou
fool, that which thou soweth is
not quickened except it die, no.
| tice the 81 verse, when we plant
a grain, I will say grain of corn
instead of wheat, because most of
US know more about corn than we
do other grains, when we plant
q grain Of corn we never see that
grain any more, it g. rots, bursts
topen and there is a little heart in
that'grain of corn, that takes root,
and puts on "a. new body, Read
the 38 verse, and when we see it
it's green and beautiful.
Let us notice Fec. 1877. When a
person dies the body returns to the
dust, but the spirit goes back to
God, therefore, he San put it in
any body he ehoose TO, God giveth
it another bedy, notioe the lang
uage. now, :he asaid,5he would give
the spirit another, body, which
means a different body and not
the same one 1t once lived in be-
cause that. one went. back to the
dust. Notice Heb. IL: 1928. I
quote, the latter part of verse %,
and to the spirits of just men
made perfect, all the good men and
women off FORMER days were not
perfect, but they were just, so
God is putting these just spirits in
US to4be made perfect because just
men and women die, but perfect
men and women will not die, see
Matt 5:48. God says for us to be
perfect just as he is perfect. No
'tice Heb. 11:13. These all died
in faith not having received the
promise that of itself tells us that
here was. something he has been
promised but they did not get
it. Notice Heb. 11:40. God hav-
ing provided some better things
forsus, that they without us should
not be made perfect, which means
that the good men and women of
former days could not be made
perfect without US.
p Job wanted to live, but he was
a just. man therefore he died but
his spirit has. come in some mans
body to be made perfect, this is
what Job meant when he said in

Wartime Editorial By
Benjamin Franklin

IT'LL of la.e, I could scarce be-
lieve the story of him, who re-
fuses to pump in a sinking ship,
because one on board, whom he
hated; would be saved by it as we'll
as himself. But such, it seems, Is
the 'unhappIness of human nature
that our passions, when violent,
often are too hard for the united
force to reason, duty and religion.
- From Franklin's pamphlet,
''Plain Truth"

Job 1926, and though. after my
skin worms destroy this body, yet
in my flesh shall I. see God, now
we know that according to- Gen.
1877. Man is q spirit because God
created Man in his own, image,
and what Is God Z, God is a spirit
according to ST.. John 4;24, let us
notice Gen. ct. God formed man
(the flesh) out of the dust of the
ground, see LIST Cor. 15:44-45, there
is a natural body and there is a
spiritual body. Let us go back to
Job, I told you that Job did not
want to die, let us see Job 2:9.
Job was having so much trouble
and affliction that his wife told
him to curse God and die, of course
Job told her she spoke like a fool.
but after she left or went away
from where Job was, he began to
think, therefore he said in Job
14:14, if a man die shall he live
again Pie seemed to think or say
in his heart, I wouldn't mind die
ing if I knew I would come back,
the spirit spoke to him in Job Z:
9-10, on this wise Job as the clouds
are consumed and vanish away,
so he that go down to the grave
shall come up no more, therefore
Job decided that if he would not
come back If he died, he finished
his statement in Job IA: II. will
wait until my change come. Let
us notice End Cor. 81. Paul said,
for we know that if our Earthly
house (body) of this tabernacle
were dissolved, we have a build
ing of God, an house not made
with hands Eternal in the Heav-
enc. Let us notice the language of
the word Eternal in the Heavens,
not Heaven but Heavens, plural
which means more than one. Let
us name some of the Heavens of
which Paul spoke. The gentiles
Heaven, the Jews Heaven, and the
black Mans Heaven when he finish
building it, let us also notice that
Paul said If his Earthly house were
dissolved, he had another building
not made with hands.
. Paul spoke of the body in which
God would put his spirit, because
he said this house was not made
with hands, and we know that
human bodies were not made with
hands and we know also that our
body is Gods house according to
LIST Cor. GLE. Now in my con-
clusion, please read the entire
chapter of Isaiah 3d.; also read
Isaiah $500, through the 25th
verse. May God bless and open
up your understanding. let Christ
explore your mind.
Where there is light there is
sight, where there is no light there
is no sight, no one can see any
thing in q dark room, its light
that gives you sight. Let me say
to the ministers, give light and
the people will find their own way.
