When we pinned our faith to
Jesus Christ;
Of those hot depths that shall
receive
The goats who would not be.
Preach about tomorrow, prea-
cher
Not about today.
Preach about the old sins, prea-
cherI
And the old virtues, too;
You must not steal or take mans
life,
You must not covet your neigh
boris wife,
And woman must cling at every
cost
To her virtue, or she is lost
Preach about the old sins,
preacher,
Not about the new.
Preach about the other man,
preacher
The man we all can see,
The man of oaths, the man of
strife,
The man who drinks and beats
his wife
Who helps his mates to fret and
shirk
When all they need is to keep at
work
Preach about the other man,
preacher,
Not about me-"
Nnl1 iyTp eli mt
direction of thought as a Luther
an pastor, l find myself thinking
that this coming Tuesday, October
81, it will be four hundred and
forty-four years since Martin Lu-
ther made his bold confession of
faith before the highest dignitar-
les of church and state assembled
at the German city of Worms. 1t
was the hour of supreme decision
for him. If he would say smooth
things, if he would surrender his
convictions, rapid ecclesiastical
preferment would follow. If he
refused, calumny and persecution
would be his lot. The choice was
not easy. Many urged him to COM
promise his position, but he would
not-he would not play by ear"
Lister to the bold affirmation of
his faith, MY conscience is bound
by the Word of God l can or will
recant nothing since it is neither
safe nor advisable to do aught
against conscience. Here I stand;
I cannot do otherwise; God help
me-" In that confession the Pro-
testant church was born, Church
es everywhere will commemorate
ton Day services this Sunday.
Community services of this kind
will be held this Sunday evening
at the Calvary Methodist Church.

man whom God chose to lead His
church back to those truths which
Jesus Christ and His Apostles once
taught.
Let us make every effort to
come to church Sunday evening.
The youth today is tomorrow
church.
Is it Gods or Ours? God Gre
ated this world and everything is
Gods. We. are the creation of
Gods realm-Christ stamped His
image on all of us. Have you ever
thought about the time that God
gives us? Each of us has twenty
four hours. Out of these twenty
four hours, how much time do you
give God? A good Christian gives
much of his time to God. Rev.
Reppert says, Talk to God, lis
ten to God-God speaks today just
as He did years ago." You hear
people say that they don't have
time to read the Bible or do other
Christian things. We need to
spend time every day to grow spir-
itually
You wouldn't think of working
at your job or profession only two
hours a week, would you? Let's
all give God more of our time
than just one hour for Sunday
School and one hour of worship.
Read the Bible each day, pray Of
ten and work as if we are going
to live forever and pray as if we
are going tO die tomorrow Y0y'11
find that the rewards are great
when you spend more time with
God.

"PLAYING BY EARc
at is folly to set ones sails by
other peoples Winds"

Casually turning the knobs of
my television dials | chanced to
tune in to the harangue of a poll
tician avidly seeking office in a
neighboring Pennsylvania city. 1t
abounded in sweet-sounding plati-
tudes that aimed to win favor for
himself and his party. The speak
er's words, however, lacked con-
viction; they seemed to be tuned
alone to the thought Of winning
the votes of the people to whom
he was speaking. AS 1 listened
and silently appraised what he was
saying, there was nudged from my
memory the caustic comment of a
Connecticut Yankee when asked
for his opinion of the preaching of
a new minister that had recently
come to his village. Hesitating
only moment for his reply he
said in the best Coolidge manner,
II think he plays by ear"
In further consideration of this
thought turn with me to the thir-
teenth chapter of the book of Isa-
iah. He relates how at one time
him with this request: Speak
unto us smooth things" The re-
quest went unheeded-"smooth
things" were not spoken In their
stead, without the slightest equiv
ocation of any kind Isaiah called
down upon them the anger of God
because of their unbelief and their
sins.
Here it is well to remember that
people have not changed very
much with the passing of the
years. They still ask for smooth
things messages from their pull
pits that will not disturb them un-
duly in the lives they lead. Yield
ing to such demands-well, that
is playing by ear"
Charlotte Gilman sketches such
attitudes toward preaching tell
ingIy in this bit of verse:
Preach about yesterday, preach
cher,
The time so far away,
When the hand of Deity smote
and slew
And the heather plagued the stiff
necked Jew;
Or when the Man of Sorrows
came
And blessed the people who ours
ed His name
Preach about yesterday, prea-
cher,
Not about today.
Preach about tomorrow, preach
err
Beyond the worlds decay:
Of the sheepfold paradise we
priced

When we think of the East

among those who believe the Bi-
BILE. Christ said, when you see
these things come to pass lift up
your head for your complete re-

World Government and a World

are certainly in view "a form of
godliness but denying the power
thereof is certainly on the in
crease, as well ''lovers of plea
sure more than lovers of God"
In the Book of Revelation,
Christ's letter to the church of the

ture of the church or rather Chris
tiandom, He tells of a time when
it will be neither hot nor cold but
