ZION BAPTIST

Born to be King" was the
sermon Rev. ]. r. Holloway, pas
tor of Zion Bpatist Church, de-
livered Sunday, March 25, taken
from John 18: 28-40.
The minister stated that in
order to be a king, physical fit
ness, love and understanding is
necessary for leadership. Jesus
met the requirements to be king
challenged by Pilates accusia-
ton and the temptation of Satin.
To confirm this accusation, Jesus
claimed his birthright, Born to Be
King. Jesus never let anything
come between Him and His birth
right and His obligation to carry
out the will of God.
Rev. Holloway went on to say,
when we accept Jesus as our King,
Redeemer and Spiritual Leader,
then we become his servants and
must live up to His standards and
carry out the will of Jesus by
using the brain that God has
given us. AS christians we must
stay on our toes to keep anything
from throwing us off our work to
be of service to King Jesus.
The pastor continued stressing
the point that we are born into
Jesus's kingdom and as his ser
wants we have responsibilities to
live up to. Sometimes temptation
can be overcome but when we
face danger and the best doesn't
seem good enough this is when
most of us fail. We should keep
in our heart and mind, "the Lord
is the strength of my life, whom
shall I be afraid Off? Then the
Lord will take your cup and put
your feet on solid ground.
Next Sunday, April 1, Mr.,
Charles H. Stevenson, public in
formation officer of the Hennepin
County Civil Defense Office, will
give commentive remarks on our
pastors lecture about the Fall
out Shelter" from the Christian
view point. Theme, "As in the
days of Noah, so it is Now!

fact that according to the Bible,
Satan the Devil is the unseen ruler
of the present world. This rule
will soon end. Then Christ Jesus,
the long promised and awaited
King will extend his Kingdom rule
from heaven to the earth with
resulting blessings to all obedient
mankind"
The assembly was a course of
intensified Bible instruction con-
sisting of talks and demonstra-
tions as well as practical appHca-
ton in the field during the three
days.
In the opening talk Mr.. Wiss-
man commented on the increasing
demands made upon our time. He
said, 1T is urgent for man to buy
out the time to praise God as
never before. People are living at
a fast pace and their only in
terests are in worldly and mater
ial pursuits. The emphasis today
is on doing what one likes .
on being good to ones self. 1t is be-
cause of this that it Is so neces-
sary not to do just the things we
would like to do but to do the
things we must do. What we must
do is serve God. This assembly is
designed to aid us to faithfully
increase our praise to Jehovah
God"
1t was announced that by the
end of 1862 one million dedicated
witnesses will be actively engaged
in the ministerial activity in 1876
lands and islands Of the sea. At
the assembly Saturday afternoon
35 new ministers were baptized.
Sundays public lecture was broad
cast on Radio KRSI. 1t was also
learned that 10 million copies Of
the two very popular Bible study
journals, Watchtower and Awake,
have been printed in "a languages
for international distribution this
month.
There were representatives from
10 congregations of Jehovah's
Witnesses in the Central Mime
sofa region in attendance during
the three days and Mr.. Wissman
termed the program a success.

children are the innocent victims,

social security for his children,
then all children without fathers
would be assured of economic sup
port.

Text Acts 26:13. Subject of Rev.
Harris sermon was Religion AS
An Experience"
Paul, being permitted to speak
in defense of himself before King
Agrippa and others, relating his
experience with God on the DAM
ascus road" He said, HE was
blocked yet he saw no man, fell
from his horse as a blind man, and
heard a strange voice, mysteri-
GUS voice, a Divine voice speaking
with authoritative and power.
Where did it come from I asked
myself, it came from nowhere,
as that voice entered the ears of
my soul, the rays of that eternal
light pierced my heart and set
it on fire"
Right then something hap
pened to me, it was strange, yet
1 know it happened, it was mys-
terious and I cannot explain, all
I know is, that it happened. (Re-
ligion as an experience) Religious
experience causes a change. You

the same old low down cuss that
you was, you can't get Christian
Religion and tell the same old lies,
