Announces
Sermon Theme

In observance of National
Family Week, May to 9, the Rev.
Manuel Figueroa, pastor of Ell Sal
vador Methodist Church, has an
nounced as his Sunday morning to-
pic "a House Called Home" based
on material taken from Isaiah 80.
Isaiah, the great prophet of God,
presents a description of what may
be the real condition of our time
and our so-called Christian civili-
cation.
"Woe to the rebellious children,
saith the Lord, that take council
but not of me; and that cover with
a covering but not Of my Spirit,
that they may add sin to sin.
"That this is a rebellious people,
lying children, children that will
not hear the law of the Lord"
The prophet made this declara-
ton to his generation which had
deserted God and forgotten his law
and because of this condition, the
house was destroyed.
Verse IA says, Sand he shall
break it as the breaking Of the pot
ter's vessel that is broken in piec-
es; he shall not spare; so that there
shall not be found in the bursting
of il a shard to take fire from the
home (hearth) or to take water
withal out of the pit"
This is a solemn warning against
disintegrating and crumbling hon.
es. Houses made Of grass and clay
and built on sinking sands will
crumble.
The Rev. Figueroa warns that
many of our so-called Christian
homes today are in the condition
described here. Isiah lists very
well the conditions that produced
this destruction.
Rev. Figueroa says, "Notice that
pegasus, the symbol for speed ap-
pears here. Speed, yes, we want
to move faster and faster. This is
the age of speed. We want to catch
UP with time and move yonder.
Where are we going?
"We want to keep our cars in
good running condition to go
where? What about our poor souls?
We do not care much if they rust
and decay"
AS Isaiah said, ''for we will flee
upon horses; therefore shall We
flee: and we will ride upon tie
swift; therefor shall they that p,lr-
sue you be swift. For thus saith
the Lord God, the Holy One of Is.
rael; In returning and rest shall
We be saved; in quietness and in
confidence shall be your strength;
and We would not"
Rev. Figueroa says, "Some peo'
pie object and say, but we have
good homes well-equipped with te
Lewiston sets, radios, washing ma
chimes and refrigerators, and what
not. But where is their family al
! tar, where is the love and respect
and obedience to parents. Where
| is God in our lives? Let us fine
out and be sure"

ton Of the budget the group will
set about the task of under-writ-
ing it by making individual Pied
ges on a weekly basis.

Federation is organizing a cat
census.
Why the game federation? Be-

that too many cats mean too few

lief the federation has produced
statistics showing that there are
two cats in Finland to only one
dog and that every house in Fin
land has .3.4 cats. This may be
awkward for the cats but the
federation claims that its sta
tistics are correct.
Anti-cat enthusiasts aren't,
however. getting things all their
