for a more eminent Greater Shi-
loh. He realized that a united
church can expect great things
from God and can accomplish
great things for Him.
We, too, caught the vision, were
organized and went to work. You
can see some of the things that
have been accomplished in the
past six years. Comfortable pews
have replaced the old benches,
complete pulpit set has been in
stalled with flower stands; Flou-
resent lights have replaced the
old lighting system; a new foun-
tain, complete heating system,
bulletin board, a neon sign, and a
telephone have been installed.
Also a new bible, dozens of COM
munion glasses have been added,
a new baptizing pool installed, and
a new choir stand has been built
Added to these, two new pianos
have been purchased, a solovox,
and new chairs for the choir stand.
A complete musical department
was added to the church, which
consists of a senior choir, a young
ADULT choir, and a gospel chorus
Our pastor is active in district
associations, state and national
conventions. Each department Of
our church is represented in these
meetings. He is frequently called
on to preach annual semons at
both district and state meetings.
Rev Mays was elected president
Of the nter-denominational Minis
terlal Alliance, Which was organiZ-
ed three years ago. and has been
president for two yeas. He is also
a candidate for the d. D. degree.
The most eternal blessing which
the pastor has added to the
church are the l12 members taken
in, during the six years of his
pastorate, by restoration. Christian
experience and baptism.
Our pastor is due great honor
for the seviee he has rendered
here in the past six years, and
speaks greater than any words. He
has proven to the church that he
is qualified for the position which
he now holds.

Repentance As The
Bible Sees II

THE BIBLE MEANING Of re.
1 pentanee is something radical
something life-ehanging AS the
prophets and our Lord set II be-
fore US. II means total change
OF inner attitude and viewpoint II
does not mean so much stopping
something you enjoy, as II means
enjoying something altogether df-
ferent from what you used 70 en-
jov
For example. you never truly
repent Of pride until you are really
humble on the inside. You never
have fully fepeuted Of selfishness
so long as your biggest kick
comes from kicking other people
around Repentance means re.
direction Of life II means loving
whatever good you hated and
hating whatever evil you loved.
The question Is: Are you con-
tent 10 be what you are, as you
are, or do you sincerely want
to be a better. indeed a differ
ent person? For that, the grace
Of God Is necessary. For re-
pentance means nothing short
Of being made over.
Are you aware that by yourself
you nre doomed % be yourself.
your worst self VIVA, is needed Is
no, that you shan make yourself
over. what is needed Is that you
shall pray God 90 make you over.
His grace Is not forced on the I'M
willing The change may not come
oil nj once. not overnight Yet sure
~. and Il may be swiftly
There have been persons whose
lives have changed IN a single night
IN a single moment There are
others whose NE transformation
has come slowly But wherever
real repentance IFS. there the Spirit
Of God has been az work.
Why Repentance Is Needed
s7EPHANiAH POINTS UP the
- same two reasons for repent.
ance that we find all through the
Bible. One reason Is the judgment
of God; the other Is the promise OF
God. These are two sides Of the
same thing.
Man does not live In his own uni
verse. He lives In a universe which
he could not have created-in a
sense he Is guest OF II. II is a
universe God created In love, and
rules In love. Work and live
"against the grain" Of Gods law
Of love. and you are headed for de.
struction.
TO repent means that you
come out new. In the Image Of
God. Not 10 repent means that
you are o breaker 81 Ged's
laws because yen do not like
his laws. To repent means Mat
I'm the language Of the ancient
PsalmIsp you love the law Of
God.
To the unrepentant the laws Of
God are like the bars Of a cruel
cage. To the repentsnt. the lerS OF
God are like rails 10 o locSostive
