going to church and finding hypo-
critics there, | guess this is true
statement for all of the people in
church, in one sense of the word,
for all of us have fallen short of
the perfection of Jesus Christ; but
to say a man is hypocritc because
he sins. then goes into the church
10 confess his sins, and to seek out
strength that he may not sin again
is pretty preposterous! would be
the first to admit that all people
who go to church do not always
live up very well to the command
ments of the Lord. In fact there are
many who. though they go TO
church every week seem TO get
very little in the way of changed
lives from it. But | would certainly
not place the blame on our Saviour,
who is the Rock upon which the
church is built. The blame could
in most cases be placed either on
the ineffectiveness of a pastor, who
does not preach the Word of God,
or in most cases, on the deaf ear Of

One Man Looks
At God
tBy Charles w. Carlson, Pastor,
St. Marks Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Oakland Maryland)


The old statement, you don't
have to go to church to be a Chris
tian," has been heard over and over
again. A lot Of people operate under
this extremely mistaken opinion.
Closely connected to this state
ment is another, that usually goes
something like this: "Humph! Why
should | 90 TO church and sit there
with a bunch of hypocriteS?"
Both of these statements miss by
wide margin the very nature of
the church. In the first place, too
many people think that the church
is just bunch of "do-gooders." and
they believe that as long as they
don't get caught breaking a law,
that makes them a good Christian.
A good Christian is not just a man
who breaks no law. he is a child of
God who more than anything else
is concerned about the salvation of
mans soul, and he knows that be-
cause of the fact that every last hui
man being who ever lived has
broken some law or another of
Gods Word, he must rely on the
forgiveness and love of God for his
salvation. The church is a society
Of souls who believe in the redemp-
tive plan of God revealed in the
Person of His Son, Jesus Christ,
and who look to the church as first
Of all a place where they are fed
with the bread Of life" the Word
of God, and are thereby strength
ened to go forth into the world to
I bring this same redemption to all
men.
AS such the church is a society
that should bring peace TO the
world, stability TO marriage, solid
spiritual security to troubled souls,
ways Of growing up for the young
people, and a way of living to all
men that does not depend on dog
eat dog concept for conducting
mems lives. It should and does give
way for men to live that is above
every other way, a way in which a
man comes to the knowledge that
he has not been created just to live
on the bread that he either earns
, or steals, but on every word which
proceeds out of the mouth of His
Father in heaven" Who has created
him in His image, to be His child,
both here and unto eternity.
When 4 man says that he does
not have to go to church TO be a
Christian, that is the same as say
| ing that he did not have 10 have
parents to be born By saying this
he shows the ignorance that he has
as to the very nature of Christiani-
ty, for the church is the very life
and soul of the Christian faith.
AS to the related statement about
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1958-02-13

the listener, for though the church
would live up perfectly to its OBJ
legations TO preach the pure Word
of God there is no way that it can
be forced into tlNa lives of the men
and women who hear it. The old
adage about leading horse to
water. but not being able to make
him drink it certainly applies here.
SO the next time you hear man
say that he does not have to go TO
church to be Christian, talk back
to him, and point out the fact that
he doesn't know what he is talking
about

attitude or downright bias or
bigotry which may exist upon
the part of some groups which
are perfectly willing, apparent
ly, to let boys and girls suffer
because of the face they may
be born into families who de-
sire to send them to private
schools"
The Senator criticized
prejudice which has prevailed
in America for too long, not
based upon a sound premise, but
upon the argument that if we do
something for a boy or girl at
tending a private school, we are
in some way violating the great
historic doctrine of separation Of
church and state"
The doctrine has nothing
whatsoever to do with benefit
to a boy or girl attending a pri-
vate school," he said. THAT has
been pretty we'll sustained in
the great leading educational
cases. some of which have gone
all the way to the United States
Supreme Court"
The Senator said that in his
state I'VE are not limited by
prejudice with regard to trans
portation and textbook facili-
ties being supplied by boys
and girls in private schools
Referring to 1.-The public serv-
ice rendered by our private
schools" Sen. Morse added:
Il make that point from time
to time when ! receive irate let
tiers from some constituent TAX
ing me TO task because | will not
support some proposal, for ex-
ample, which seems to deny to
boys and girls who 60 TO private
schools the use of public bus
service to school: or taking me
to task because | continue to
support, for example, the text
book system we have in my
state 49,"
Sen. Morse called attention
to the funds saved taxpayers
by the self-supported private
schools.
Let us assume that we could
press a button and close all the
private schools of America. AS
sumo that this is the beginning
of a new school year, and that all
boys and girls would have to
appear at public school doors to-
morrow morning. Then the tax
payers of the country, | believe,
