ST. PAUL LUTHERAN

In the absence of Rev. Carl c.
Sunwall. pastor of st. Paul Luth-
eran Church on Marshall and
Chatsworth, Rev. Richard Hill
strom. Chaplain of the Lutheran
Bethesda Hospital and Invalid
Home conducted the morning wor-
ship service. He gave no topic for
his sermon but he brough an in
teresting message.
He said il is true that we are
often ignorant of the things we
have. In the realm of religion this
is often true also. 1t is only
through the Spirit that God comes
to us and gives us His redemption
The disciples were in ignorance
as to what they had in the Holy
Spirit. They had the Spirit with
them but not in them. God has
sent His Spirit into the world but
many have set their hearts
against Him He then becomes q
trouble maker rather than a COM
soler.
It was on the day of Pentecost
that the disciples passed from p
with" stage to a within" stage
A transformation came over them
They fled because Of fear on Good
Friday but when they received the
Spirit they were convinced and
they became bold.
They feared no longer because
they knew Christ lives. As we let
this truth sink into our minds and
hearts It viii change our concep.
/ ton OF the christian religion. Jesus
withdrew from them and returned
to heaven so that He could bt
closer to them, in the Spirit, thar
He had ever been before.
We may know that even the
/ night be dark God stands near q
I protect and defend us. Such ar,
the blessings OF a spirit FilleC

Dixie Presbyterions
Strike At Jim
Crow 288-124

Charlotte, N. c. (ANP)-By a
vote of 28S-124, delegates attend
ing the 9Sth annual general as
sembly Of the Presbyterian Church
in the us. (Southern), accepted
a majority report of its committee
on Christian relations condemning
racial segregation along a broad
front.
The action came at the final
sessions of the six-day meet and
was preceded by an emotional
closing debate which saw tempers
flare and brought an implied warn
ing that some Deep South churches
might pull out of the assembly.
Actually, the vote rejected a
minority report, strongly support
ed by some Alabama and Mississ-
ippi delegates. This report would
have reversed the church's 1854
endorsement Of the Supreme Court
ruling against public school segre-
CATION. In addition, it would have
recommended either the disband-
ing or transferring of the Christ
ian relations body to another de-
partment of the church, as we'll
as giving its members a public re-
bule for "pressuring the church
to accept Indignation Of the rae
es."
The majority report covered
these major points:
~ Opposition of racial segre-
cation on a broad scale and sup
port of the US, Supreme Court
decision as the law Of the land.
p Refusal to muzzle or abolish
the Christian relations body,
- Refusal to permit use OF
churches for private schools, if a
state should close public schools
in the face Of indignation.
on the latter point, the MAORI
ty report held that the church has
additionally recognized the sep,
aration of church and state as well
as the responsibility OF the con,
gregatonal governing body to de-
termine the use Of local church
facilities. 1t emphasized, however
that use of church facilities e
evade the court decision was mo
proper"
An opposing view was aired n
the minority report. 1t held the US,
