knocked Down
Religion Is
Rogers Topic

"Knocked down Religion" will be
the sermon topic Sunday morning
at the 8:45 early worship service
at the Islander DRIVEN Theatre on
Stock Island.
The 'hot-rodder' likes to strip his
car to the bare necessities for show
and speed. He then becomes too
often nuisance and menace to
society. The modern automobile is
built for comfort, convenience and
utility. It gets you there and gets
you back = generally. But the
stripped automobile, like knocked
down religion is more for noise
and show. This was so evident that
one of the minor prophets was
moved to ask, ''Will a man rob
God?"
During this service families may
attend and enjoy the service in
the comfort of their own car. With
the children of the family, they
can participate in the service with
out the trouble of finding a baby
sitter or worrying abut the chill
dren bothering other. worshippers.
The Church of the Rock invites
you to worship with them.
Service at Chanel
The eleven o'clock service will
be held at the Chapel, SIS Francis
Street. The sermon topic at this
service will be, "The High Cost OF
Christianity"
In this day of bargain hunting
the tendency is to get all we can
for as little as possible. Naturally
we generally get what we pay for.
That is especially true with reli.
gion and there can be no bargain.

Bible eoros
for Tooap


LUKE 5:24 - but that you may know that the
Son of man has authority on earth forgive sins'-
ne said to the man who was paralyzed-'T say to
you, rise, take up your bed and 90 home." (RSW
From the Christian point of view, such things as
disease, poverty. ignorance, superstition war are
symptoms of deeper malady which the Bible calls
sin. To say, however, thar these things symptoms
is not imply that they can be ignored 1t is only to
say that they be dealt with on two levels They
are like the surface sores which need alleviatne
care but also require that the bloodstream be made
pure. Jesus showed the way. He brought into the

Human Problem, Illustration,
Is Theme OF Coulter's Talk

How to deal with the human
problem of Illustration will lie dealt
with in the sermon at the First
Presbyterian Church tomorrow
morning.
The text viii be taken from the
First Book Of Kings, which re-
counts the experience Of Elijah the
Prophet after his great victory
over the priests Of Baal on Mount
Carmel :"
Elijah had everything for which
to be thankful, but his great victory
was overshadowed by his own re-
action. That feeling of Illustration
came when he realized that the
victory had not been all to his own
advantage. 80,
There is a lesson in the expert
ences of the ancient prophet that
has a strange and moving parallel
in the lives Of many today. We see
our victories turned in to seeming
defeat by actions of others and by
our own weakness.
Review Continues

continuing review of "The Pill
grim's Progress" will be given. To-

tinuing his journey to Mt. Zion.

Journey. Lucre is another name
for money - the Pride of Life

overcome this latest temptation?
Come and hear. 9r
Many people have noted that al
though this. book was written
three centuries ago it has the sus-
pense and action of the latest best
seller and Hollywood thriller.

his goal? The answer will come in
the final chapter to be given one

Prayer::Will
Distressed
ByTouchton

Pastor of the First Methodist
Church J. Paul Touchton, has an
nounced that he will continue on
Sunday morning his series of SER
mons on Victorious Living. Mr..
Touchton's topic will be 'sVictor-
ious Living Through Prayer"
Prayer is rather a common ex-
perience of life. For sooner or la
ter all people feel the need of cry
ing out to some personality bigger
than they are. One of the chief
difficulties that we face is that too
much of our praying, like too
much of the rest of life, is done
from selfish desires.
We can afford to look long and
carefully at the teachings of Jesus
on the matter of prayer. The pray
er commonly called the Lords
Prayer has been used so often that
we too easily forget its full mean
ing and Importance.
Evening Service
At the evening service, the pas
tor will speak on the topic esprit
tual Versus Physical. Too often
we have thought that there was
real conflict between these two
phases of life. Both are good and
both are of God. Everyone has
more or less control over a portion
of the physical world. When that
control is resurrendered to God,
peace and happiness come within.
At the morning service, the Choir
will sing "The King of Love My
Shepherd Is" by Shelley. "I Was
Glad" by Waghorne will be the
evening anthem. Mr.. Willis Walker
is director of the choir. Mrs. Rule
Roberts is organist.

You slow down as you pass it

"Sugita-san," you say to your old

I shall prove just how good it is.

his words swell to hearing again.
He'd said They'll be happy to see
you He expected you back to stay
His voice had held no question, no
uncertainty. He knew you'd be back.
You look after him and wonder
This was Last Visit wasn't it? Or
