Hew We Worship God

p FAD John 4:5-26 and see how
~ Jesus led the woman Of Sychar
to understand true worship. Strange
ly enough, she knew a good deal
about Jewish rites and ceremonies,
but she had never known the basic
truth that God is q Spirit; and they
that worship him must worship Him
in spirit and in truth"
Included In the record Of how
Jesus taught the woman to wor-
ship was the necessity of confess
ing her sin, having five husbands,
and living at the moment with
still another man. We cannot w0r-
ship God if there is unc0nfessed
sin in our hearts.
We often miss the Joy of true
worship because we fail to confess
our sins. God looketh upon the
heart. II there is sin in our hearts,
it must be forgiven.
Our Need Of God
0TF We live after the flesh, ye
shall die" Romans 8:13. Here
10 q solemn truth that many seem
to forget - apart from God we are
dead. The young person who UNDER
takes to live with eating food win
soon discover that his body is vast
Ing away and his mind is broken
and dissipated. Just so with the
spirit Of man. We are spiritual crea-
lures, made in the image of God.
II we live by the flesh, we die spirit
ually.
In the preceding chapters in Ro-
mans. Paul has shown how sin
worketh death. He sets forth the
penalties that result from carnal
thinking and behavior. But in the
18th verse he comes on to say:

StT0Hs " tue LoIu
OUR age has made much of
~ might = might that expresses
itself in speed. We think in terms
of atomic power. This lesson would
help us to understand that we may
be strong in the Lord. All power is
with him. "All power hath been
given me in heaven and on EARTH"
said Jesus.
And this leads US to the climax
of Sundays lesson, when Paul de-
clareS:
"For am persuaded, that
neither death. o life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor powers,
0 things present, nor things to
come, nor height, nor depth, nor
any other creature, shall be able
to separate rs from the leve Of
God, which Is In Christ Jesus our
Lord" Romans S:3S, 80.
Satan had the woman Of Sychar
completely in his power until the
grace Of God lifted her feet upon
the Rock Of Ages. She could then
stand in the midst Of the people Of
Sychar and declare that she had
met One who had released her from
the bondage of sin. That is what
will happen in every heart that
comes to God through Jesus Christ.

Scheduled to speak to the citizens
of Hagerstown at a lecture last FRI
day evening, DR. Gordon S. Sea-
graves, author of Burma Surgeon"
and Burma Surgeon Returns,
broadcast from the stage of HIS.
Friday afternoon, in a panel dis
cussion of the conditions in Burma
before, during, and after the war.
Also participating in the discus
sion were: Mr.. Harry Poole, presi-
dent of the Washington County
Teachers Association; Miss Cath
crime Beachley, director of guidance
at HIS; and Mrs. Frederick Bahli,
a Burmese who is studying radio en-
gineering at Lehigh.
In 1922 Gordon Seagraves, young
medical missionary, arrived in
Namkhan in the Shan country of
northern Burma, where he found
disease and famine He set about
training native girls to be nurses and
afterward set up a hospital in that
territory.
When the Japenese invaded Bur
ma, DR.. Seagraves offered his ser
vices to the United States Army and
was commissioned a Colonel in the
Medical Corps and assigned to Gen
eral Stilwelps Army Accompanied
by SO Burmese nurses, he formed q
mobile medical unit and organized
an emergency ambulance and hos
pital service
After the war he returned to his
hospital to find it almost ruined, but
he carried on from where he hao
left-off years before.
Returning to Burma, he saw that
the people would receive their indie
pendence from Britain, so the Sea-
graves hospital is now an indepen-
dent institution instead of mission
airy hospital.
Following his lecture tour of the
United States, Dr. Seagraves intends
to return to his hospital in Burma.

WASHINGTON.
= = A1]VEE4'.K
By FRANK NJ. LEONARD

WASHINGTON, D. c. ~ Over /
three and a half years ago a little |
man of modest mien stood before
Congress and humbly asked its
help "in completing one of the !
gravest tasks ever assigned to a
public servant" Turning to the
people, he wistfully asked them to
pray for him.
After 1215 years of suave assur-
ances that the situation was well IN
hand-here was a new approach!
The Republican Congress fell for il
like a ton of bricks and set to with
gusto to give this little guy every
boost in the book. John @. rubbed
his eyes in amaZement and squinted
down Washington way.
1t was entirely beautiful-brO-
I therhOOd blOssOmed like roses in
June. America sat cOntentedly back.
But before John @. could get his
stocking feet up on the ottoman
that little fellow had run the COun-
try through a gauntlet of trumped-
up crises and dragged it to the very
brink of war.
Palestine - China - Syria -
Russia-the secrets of POtsdam,
Cairo, Teheran, Yalta. And to top
the Communists in the govern
ment.
Suddenly the little man who was
more to be pitied than censored
whose inconsistencies on the do
nestle issues of taX-reduCtiOn, OPA,
housing, imitation, civil rights, ct al,
were already chOpping away the
props of his political air castles
had messed up the international
situation to such a degree that it
now threatened to turn with the
troce. of a Wallace boomerang and
destroy the very props of American
existence.
NoW-squinting Washington way,
John @. finds-again to his amaze
. ment-that the little man is no
= longer humble, no longer worried
no longer Wistful. In fact, he
seems to be enjoying himself i'm
mensely-and what's more, he's

And finally-tO the tune o
