Gods Word sets forth not
only the value of a true re-
pentance but also the awful
end which comes to those
whose repentance is false.
King Saul admitted he had
"played the fool" yet was un-
willing to yield himself fully
to God and came to a lament
able end. Judas Iscariot adj
mitted he had "betrayed in
nocent BLOOD" but in utter re-
morse went and hanged him
self. David's genuine repent

GUS sin, when the prophet Ma
than came to him and said,
"Thou art the man." is record
ed in Holy Writ.

SEEN IN THE FRUIT OF
RESTITUTION AND FULL
OBEDIENCE TO GOD
Lev. 6:1-5; Psalm 32:1-5;
Prov. $3.50, 81; Eek. 80:
Ills; Luke 19:1-1O; Cor.
6:9-11.
The fruit of true repentance
is seen when true amends are
made for wrongdoing. God de-
mands that one who has rob-
bed or deceived others shall
confess and shall also give
again that which he has stol-
en-. The story of Zaccheus the
publican is stated in the Cos
pei narrative to prove that
blessing comes to one who is
ready to restore. Zaccheus
SAID, IL L nave taken any,
thing from any man by false
accusation, l restore him four
fold.' Jesus then could freely
say to him, "This day is saliva
ton come to thine house," His
repentance was real because
he made full amends.

THE BLESSING OF SINCERE REPENTANCE
Memory Verse John 10
N Darn1s, OUerseer in the Christian Catholic Church
Headquarters Zion. Illinois 1876

The Word of God teaches
man the exceeding sinfulness
of sin and declares "The wages
of sin is DEATH" Sin brings sor-
row, suffering, disappointment,
and disaster to all who violate
Gods commands. While it is
true that man has inherited
from his first parents the tend
ency to sin, yet no one can
excuse himself on those
grounds. Each one is respons-
ible before God for his own
sin; the reason for this being
that God has made possible de-
liverance from sin, by offer
ing to the sinner the blessing
of Divine Redemption.
God has set forth in His In
spired Word His readiness to
forgive the penitent of all tres
passes; and, by the believer
receiving Christ Jesus into his
heart and life, God enables
him to resist and overcome
temptation. This Lesson reveals
the nature of true repentance,
showing the blessed results
that come to the penitent
through the forsaking of sin.
I TRUE REPENTANCE is
THE FRUIT OF ODDLY
SORROW FOR SIN : Verse
9; Isaiah 1:16-20; Eek.
18:27-31; Joel PIP, 10;
Luke 3:1-5; 15:11-25 ;22:
1852; I John 2:15-17.
When one comes to the
realization of his having sim
ned, the first step he should
take is to acknowledge his
wrong-doing to God and con-
fess his sin. King David not
only said, ''I have sinned," but
also said, 81 will be sorry for
my sim" Because of cowardly
fear, Peter denied his Lord
three times; but when the
piercing, sorrowful eyes of Je-
sus were turned upon him,
Peter remembered the Lords
words spoken to him but a few
hours before and "went out
and wept bitterly"
Paul taught the Church at
Corinth that "godly sorrow"
leads to a careful examination
of the life, with indignation
against sin and a vehement de-
sire to be delivered from it's
thraldom. Paul was outspoken
in condemnation of one in the

Church at Corinth who had
committed fornication, but re-
joiced when the transgressor
was brought to confess his sin
and turned to God. Every sin
stands condemned before God.
God does not overlook, excuse,
nor condone sin. The only way
for one who has sinned to get
rid of sinful desires is for him
to loathe sin in his life. Every
sinner must be convicted of the
folly of his sin as was David,
who said, 81 have done very
foolishly."

Sin separates from God. Sin
brings a sense of guilt and con-
demnation into the heart. The
Word says, ''Be sure your sin
will find you out" 'The wages
of sin is DEATH" however, the
penitent need not despair: for
all that God demands is that
he shall make a full confess
sion of his sinfulness to God.
Unconfessed sin is a positive
hindrance to prayer being an
swered. The Word of God
teaches that one must be will
ing to confess to those whom
he has wronged and ask
their forgiveness. James teach
es that you are to confess your
faults one to another, if you
are to expect healing from God.
Jesus taught His disciples
that they should forgive not
only seven times in a day, but
"seventy times SEVEN" When
the penitent accepts Jesus as
personal Savior, he receives
pardon of God, Who is not will
ing that "any should perish,
but that all should come to re-
pentance." The people of
Ninevah were spared the judg-
ments of God when they heed
ed the preaching of Jonah and
repented. Ezekiel, the pro-
phet, called upon Israel to re-
pent of their idolatry and wick
edness and turn from their

Frank Alexander
Speaks to Crowd Of
$50 at East1ake Park
ARIZONA SUN
BY Morris Graham

$50 Negro and white men braVed
the hot Arizona Sun Sunday after
noon, May 22nd, to hear Frank
Alexander, one of the original Los
Angeles 10 and a former Phoenix
resident. The meeting, under the
auspices of the Communist Party
of Arizona, was held at Eastlake
Park.
Alexander, the principal speaker,
outlined the great strides being
made in L. A. in the fight against
Jimcrow. He told how the Jimcrow
policy of the Bank Of America,
which for Is years had not hired a
single Negro, was smashed and Ne
groes are now hired as result of
the pressure if hundreds of pro-
gressiveS. Alexander who had been
leader in this struggle, cited this
and other instances as one of the
major reasons he and the other
Communists and progressives were
arrested and bounded.
Alexander tied up the entire pro-
gram of reactionary Big Business
with the t ac k against labor,
ag ainst progressives, minorities,
and especially and prim arily
against the Communists. He said
the trials of the N. Y. II, aimed
first to outlaw the Communist
Party and then take away all
rights from all the people. He COM
pared this to what had happened
in Nazi Germany. He said the at
tacks against the Communists in
L. A. were part of the same politi-
cal plot to deprive the people of
leadership so Big Business could go
ahead with its war program and it's
attempt to destroy the Bill of
Rights. He further stated that the
monopolists were looking to divert
the peoples attention in the face of
rising unemployment, with 10000
900 already jobless, so that the
working people would not struggle
against Big Business and it's Ad-
ministration for better conditions,
higher pay, public works, etc.
Alexander ended his talk on an
optimistic note, stating that the
possibilities were ripe in Phoenix
for a large progressive movement
which could militantly struggle for
"a better life.
Nine resolutions were unani-
mously passe These included
greetings to Paul Robson support
ing his statements at the Paris
Peace Conference and a pledge that

June is Learn-to-Swim L
Month in MaricOpa

The month of June has been
selected as the month in which
every young Arizonan in Maricopa
county between the ages of 8 and
ii may take free swimming lessons.
The Arizona Republic, the YMCA,
American Red Cross and city and
county pools, along with county
newspapers in various localities are
conducting the 22nd annual Learn
to-Swim campaign in the county.
If the 10000 odd youngsters who
have learned to swim through this
program over the past 81 years
were to be beginners this year, it
would take twenty-five swimming
pools the size of the University
Park plunge in Phoenix to accomo-
date them.
This year the Learn-to-Swim
campaign will be carried on in %
pools of Phoenix and other Salt
River Valley communities.
Fifteen hundred persons took the
training last year.
Lessons are free to youngsters
who are eight to fourteen years
old, who may clip coupons from the
Arizona Republic, their local news
paper, or they may register at the
nearest pool.

life for all the common people"
Other resolutions went on record
against the North Atlantic Pact,
the indictment of the N. Y. IL, the
L. A. 20, the Mundt-FerguSon Bill,
and against the plan to deport 250,-
900 observation-disclosures. There were
resolutions urging the freeing of
the Ingram family and the Trenton
Six. Another resolution addressed
to Mayor Udall and the Phoenix
City Council called for the i'm
mediate repeal of the Phoenix
Vagrancy Law.
At the close of the meeting, there
was a feeling of warmth for the
former son of Phoenir, Frank
Alexander, who found scores of
personal friends in the audience,
and a spirit of confidence that
Phoenix, through the united strug-
gle of it's common people, could
become better place to live in.

Who Wants Milk On A Doorstep. Anyway?

Milkman, stay way from my door.
 That's the theme of Palmer household heads, Everett Yohn of the Valley Grocery discov- cred last week. MT. Yohn had announced tentative plans for morning milk route in the downtown area, if enough in- terest were shown by potential subscribers.
 The grocer worked out ques- tionnaire, printed in a recent edition of the Frontiersman, which he asked interested folks to fill out and return. Last weekend, MT. Yohn rolled up his sleeves and prepared for a lengthy count-bout with the questionnaires.
 At the end of considerably less time than it takes to write it, the would-be milkman found that there were only 38 homes in Palmer which had expressed interest in doorstep delivery. Since MT. Yohn's plan requires at least 100 subscribers before it's launched, the whole ideas been filed away for future ref erence-the more future the better, is the way MT. Yohn felt about it at press time.

Bands On Wild Fowl
 To Be Returned to FWS

If Alaskan hunters will cooper ate with the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice in returning bands from any of the 2,629 ducks and geese banded this summer and shot down in hunting seasons, the FWS expects to be able to make important an- nouncements about the migratory habits of the waterfowl.
 Clarence J. Rhode, regional dir ector of the FWS, said work done on pintail ducks in the Innoko-1dit- arod nesting areas this summer should provide enough information to tell where the birds go following the nesting season, if bands are re- turned.
 Too many of us in Alaska for get that most ducks and geese spend only four or five months here, and the rest of the year in Canada, the States and Mexico" MT. Rhode said.
