THE difhculty in the world today
is that we have neglected the love
of God" Bishop Bennett said yes
terday at noon services at Epiphany.
TO live a peaceful and happy
life," he said, I'VE cannot reject
the love He bestows uron US. and
we must ever look upward to Him"
Called Revolutionary Doctrine.
Speaking last evening at the
Church of st. Stephen and the In
carnation the Rev. Peyton Randolph
Williams, rector of Christ Church,
Georgetown, said In a world where
there are those who seek to gain
the dominance of one nation or Of
one race over another it is the task
of the Christian church to pro-
claim the brotherhood of man under
the eyes Of God.
Jesus doctrine was revolution
ary for His day, breaking down the
barriers between men and rising
above the differences which caused
them to contend against one an
other. 1t Is revolutionary for our
day also, upsetting our ideas of ma
tional or racial dominance and pro-
claiming that superiority of talent
should be used only to bring us into
closer communion with one an
other"
Christ is being crushed out of
Americas life through selfshness
and aggrandizement," the Rev.
George H. Bennett, pastor of Lin
coin Road Methodist Church. said
yesterday speaking at the Penn
Theater
I'VE in America do not know
Christ when we spend five and six
times as much for non essentials
as we do for vital things OF life. We
do not know Christ when our life
is filled up in a spirit of aggran-
dizement in satisfying selfish de-
sires." he said.
"Christianiay is more than a creed
or code: it is an attractive draw
ing force with Jesus as the center
Of it."
God Is Patient.
Using as his subject The Pa
tience of God" the Rev. DR.. Gerhard
E Lenski, pastor of Grace Lutheran
Church, said at yesterdays serv-
ices: Calvary is another word fol-
patience-the cross says our God is
patient God God could have
wiped out a wicked world with
lightning or flood: instead He
sent Christ to die for us. Only 9
patient God would have ever triec
such a method as that.
Our world desperately needs the
patience of God. The present in.
ternational situation is one which
only forgiveness can cure and
patience heal. Who shall first show
such patience-the Japs or Hitler:
Shall we not expect it first and
most from those who have received
patience and who have seen Christ
die?
I'VE need patience toward our
selves, We must not give up trying
to be Christians. We must not get
tired Of working and praying for
peace. This is the message of the
cross: Our God-how patient He
is"
