Five Sermon Thoughts

If we are going to do any
thing fine and worthy in this
world today is the best time.
Rom. 1912: The night is
far spent, and the day is at
hand.
This does not prevent us
from building a house here
to last our earthly day, but
even tho we fail hope sings
in our hearts. Ill Cor. 81:
We have a building Of God,
an house not made with
lands.
After Billions of years our
earth will be a cinder, but
truth is eternal.-Matt. 24:35:
aeaven, and earth shall pass
away but my words shall not
pass away.
Our interest and affection
should include all our breth-
rem everywhere.-Matt. 23-S:
All ye are brethren.
But we can erase our
names if we like. Phil.
4:S: Whose names are in the
book of life.

years to complete.
In t he present world food
crisis, Dr.. Mark A. Dawber, of
the Home Missions Council of
North America, and DR.. Samuel
NJ. Cavert, of the Federal Coun-
Gil of the Churches of Christ,
are urging farmers to make an
economic sacrifice for the sake
of immediate feeding of the hun
CRY; to reduce the use of gram
in animal feeding, and make
available essential cereals to
feed starving men. women, and
children abroad" =" This proposal,
they say, may not be good
business practice, but is moral
response to human need" They
also urge church people every
where to support the food-saving
program, and they urge pastors
IN rural areas to consider with
their people ways and means
to meet their Christian obi
cations.
Contemporary Chri stians
have been catapulted into an era
of change, says Bishop G.
Bromley Oman Of New York
City: "The issue IS no longer one
of change or of continuity, but
rather the nature of the change.
Is it to be the change of con-
sent, or the change of coercion?
The former involves democracy,
the latter dictatorship. In one,
reason rules and change is
peaceful. In the other, emotion
is dominant and the violence
that flows from greed and hate
is present. If change is to be
the change of consent, there
must be agreement in the realm
OF ends, and sufficient agree
ment for cooper alton in the mat
ter OF means. 1t is not enough
to proclaim the ideal. The ideal
must come alive and be trans
lated into the realities Of world
law and oder, economic Justice.
