THE cavtiovs covnsslor's
At the Sunday morning worship
service at eleven o'clock the Rev.
Mr.. Rogers will preach. He has
chosen for his topic, 'The Cautious
Counselor"
Most people make q few mis-
takes in their life. It seems that
such was the case of some in Je-
sus' day. While they might believe
in the Gospel as preached by Je-
sus, there were some who hesitat-
ed to profess their faith until late
in the day.
Joseph of Arimathea was one
such character. He was a secret
disciple but such a distinguished
person could have contributed far
more to the cause had he openly
witnessed for his Lord.
Cultivate Spiritual Values
One generally gives special at
tention, investment of time and
money, in matters of vital concern
such as life work, family, recrea-
ton. While these deserve serious
consideration they are only tenn
porary.
The mistake too many make in
life is that they do not give con-
sideration TO matters of eternal
value, the things that effect the
sould. Experience has shown that
the cultivation of things spiritual
accentuates and increases the
value and important of temporal
things.
Even Jospeh, the wealthy and in
fluential member of the Sanhedrin,
would have benefited more and
helped others to appreciate the
real and eternal values of life had
ne openly witnessed for Jesus.
At ten o'clock, just preceding the
eleven o'clock worship service, the
Sunday School viii hold their re-
gular session under direction of the
superintendent, Mr.. Ralph Noble.
Visitors are cordially welcome.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

that 1t should be q privilege to
pay our taxes just as we should
pay our church dues to decently
maintain our church.
The Good Society
It Is suggested that we owe no
one anything, except to love one
another. Naturally we cooperate
with our government by keeping
out of jail, but we are to 20
further and help keep our neigh
Dor out of Jail. We should obey
the laws of the land, but also
should obey Gods laws. We
should respect those in authority
but also should love our neighbor
as ourself. We should not Dor
row anything from our neighbor
which we cannot repay-not even
a book, If it is our neighbours. A
Christian viii do nothing, or say
nothing which in any way would
injure or harm his neighbor. II
is the law of love. What wond-
erful city this would be if we
would so express our Christian
citizenship.
Cooperation With God
There seemed to be a little diff
ficulty at Corinth about leader
ship. Apollos was an Alexandrian
Jew and an eloquent orator. He
had swayed the masses and people
flocked to his services and swore
by him. Apparently this great
preacher had neglected to tell his
people about the Holy Spirit which
would sustain and guide them
when he was gone. Paul taught
that they must have the baptism
of the Holy Spirit and so there
was 4 division in the church.
Some claimed to- be followers of
Apollos and others of Paul. They
were set right when Paul told
them, 1--WE are fellow workmen
with God"
One thing We too often forget
and that is that we are all minis.
tiers, servants of God. It is ride
ulous and foolish TO allow per-
sonalities to divide a church and
Paul seems very angry that
Christians would allow such a
trivial thing to disrupt such a fine
group Of people. He credits
Apollos with being a minister and
claims that he planted while
Apollos watered. Neither is any
thing-but God who gives the in
crease. Let us not forget that It
Is not the servant but God who
makes the church grow. None is
to be credited with anything other
than that of being a servant.
Churches have been split hv
ambitious men or women who
claim 10 know what a church
should do and they want power
In the church. They do find a
following, even Satan has manv
dupes, and so his followers sab.
otage the Kingdom of God. They
are responsible for the spectacle
OF q disrupted church making it
weak and ineffective. The United
Council of the Churches of Christ
In the U. S. A. is seeking to bring
all Christians into a consecrated
and unified effort, pulling together
IN cooperation with God to estab-
ilsh his Kingdom here on, earth,
That's what Paul advocated.
