For Cows. Prayer
Breakfast Feb. 2

Ah0 TAhAekACoAA pcuplo can sense
the international political tension
and recognize that the officers we
have elected to national and local
leadership do not face just the
ordinary problems Of state. they
are confronted with challenges and
decisions which win can for Divine
wisdom to guide the ship Of
STATE" declared II. L. Wright, Dis
trict Manager Of J. C. Penny Co,
and chairman Of the committee on
finance for the Governors Prayer
Breakfast for the state Of Mime
sotas after their executive meeting
in the Calhoun Beach Hotel.
TT Is important that the peoples
Of the nation Join In this National
United Action under God for re-
lig1ous leadership, Thursday morn
ing, February Q. 1851. when the
President Of the United States
and every governor Of the nation
win Join In a Prayer Breakfast
simultaneously In every capital OF
the country. I feel It Il needful to
dramatize the moral responsibility
Of leadership to those In whose
hands we have placed our faith"
The Governors Prayer Breakfast
has been expanded to- include an
faiths In Minnesota under the lead
ership Of Bishop A. A. Leisl1o Of
the Seventh-day Adventist Church
and moderator Of an inter-religious
conference, sponsoring the nation
al American Religious Town Hail
televiSion show.
Bishop A. A. Leisl1e as chairman
Of the Minnesota Governors Pray
er Breakfast, met with the Ma
tonal I. c. l. officers In Washing
ton, d. C., and proposed that we
include the entire religious con-
stituency In the Governors Prayer
Breakfast, which Uncle Sam repre-
sents.
The Bishop said, TT Is the basic
purpose Of the International Coum-
ell for Christian Leadership to
bring Uncle Sam on his knees be-
fore God, not beaten there by the
hammer and sickle, but rather by
free choice, intelligently and rever-
emily recognizing God as the su-
preme being Of nations.
Uncle Sam, however, represents
not only the Christian people, but
all religious faiths. Therefore, we
win never have him fully surrend-
cred to God until we include all
the peoples In America, regardless
Of race or creed. If I have to leave
some people out Of my worship in
order to fully display my Christian
ity, then / fall short from the basic
purpose OF the Love Of God He
included the whole world, and
Uncle Sans activities Of the
Christian religion should not be
satisfied with less" concluded the
Bishop.
The committees that have been
appointed to sponsor this special
religious gathering for the Cover
nor Of the state are receiving the
cooperation today Of all faiths.

ST. PETERS AAEE

In spite Of drop In tempera-
ture, a goodly number was In at
tendance at the 10:45 am. worship
service Sunday, January 8. Rev.
Lowell johnson was filled with the
holy spirit as he delivered a dy-
manic message, using for his sub
ject Count Your Blessings and
for scriptural background Ezeliel
34:26.
Rev. johnson stated that bless
ing is that which Is good for you,
but often we put ourselves between
our blessing and God. The speaker
stated further that one would re-
ceive greater, blessings If one
would submit to stumbling blocks
instead of fighting for blessings.
''If you set your sail in the wrong
direction you viii receive a curse"
he stated.
The speaker also asked, Are
you willing to trust God when 1t
seems like there is no other way?
Some times we have to wrestle
with God as Jacob did, If we are
going to count our blessings to re-
ceive blessing, we must have the
mind of Christ. We must learn to
delight in walking in the law Of the
Lord"
Rev. johnson emphasized that 1t
Is a blessing to live in a so-called
free country, and a blessing to be
at liberty to go to the house Of
God and worship in spirit and
truth. In conclusion the pastor de-
clared his message rough, but good
medicine and to clinch the spirit OF
the inspiring message, he requested
a special number, Let God Abide, !"
be rendered. Miss Barbara Green
was soloist assisted by the Can
tinos.
We thank God for the four new
members added to the church roll.
They are Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd Smith
Of st. Paul, little Beverly Elliot,

my Peralta. Rev. johnson also re-
ceived Mr.. Leonard L,everett into
