THE CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES CHURCH PAGE Jesus and His Children "There were brought unto him little children that He should put His hud* on them aad pray . . Matt. 19: 1J-15. There are many beautiful acenes in the Bible. Not one in all the number more beautiful than the one now before us. It reveals the mind and heart of Jesus for children. In looking at it and in trying to understand it, we shall consider five things: I. Jesus is attractive to children. There are some men and women for whom children tfo not care. There are others for whom children are never shy nor afraid. They go to them im mediately and cheerfully feel at home with them at once, and al ways glad to see them. Jesus is like this. Jesus, when upon earth, was attractive to children, and what He was, He is still. You can not see Him with your bodily eyes, as the children did who are spoken of in the text. But you can think of Him, speak of Him, and trust Him for salvation. II. Jesus is deeply interested in children. When we see how He welcomed the children brought unto Him, we feel that He was as much, yea, more interested in them than their own fathers and mothers. He is interested in you as He was in those children. (1) You are indebted to Jesus for such wonderful bod ies and still more wonderful minds. (2) For food, raiment, homes, etc. (3) Through Jesus you can be saved. He gave Himself for the children. III. Jesus prays for children. Jesus put his hands on the children and prayed for them. His prayer we cannot read, be cause, like many other things which He said, it was never written. These children were highly favored, inasmuch as they had Jesus to prayfor them. He prays for you as well, because the Bible says that "He ever liveth to make intercession for us." When Jesus prays for you, He knows exactly what you need better than your parents and teachers, better than yourselves. But, remem ber, though Jesus prays for you, you must pray for yourself. IV. Jesus wishes children to be happy. There are many who wish the poor to be fed, clothed, and sheltered from the cold, but they will not give anything to feed, clothe, and shelter them. This is not the way in which Jesus acts towards you. He has pre pared all the things which you require to make you happy. In an wer to prayer you will receive the forgiveness of all your sins, without which you cannot be happy. You cannot be happy unless you have the hope that when you die you will go to heaven, but you can have this hope by faith in Jesus Christ. You will not all become learned or weal thy, but you can all be happy. V. Many children are with Jesus in heaven. Could we look into heaven we would see a multitude which no man could num ber. The patriarchs, the prophets, the apostles, the martyrs, etc. We would also see a large number of children . . . "of such is the kingdom of heaven." O. R. Ellis, Pastor Piney Grove Methodist Church Not Charity, But Willingness To Share Was Their Practice STUDY FOR JANUARY 15, 1950 By Wm. Southern, Jr. Not many aristocrats or well to do people became members of the first group of Christians, following the day of Pentecost when the great revival which the coming Of God's spirit and power brought the small number to three thousand. In the story of the struggles o{ this small group, surrounded on all sides by enemies and consider ed to be wild followers of a wild theory, it is stated several times that they met together and prayed together and were sustained by that God given power. In several places it is repeated that they "Held all things in common." This always puzzled me a bit, but I think I have the answers. They had in common the belief in Jesus as the Messiah, the knowledge of His crucifixion and of His resur rection and the wonderful fellow ship which that common belief and faith brought to them. They were poor people, none had great possessions and one of the earliest tenets of Christian ity was exercised, the sharing of what they had with one another. The text said that as long as there was bread to eat those among the believers who had bread shared with those who had not. That is (till a tenet and a belief, although hot practised universally, of the Christian people today and has always been. My father used to lay to me "I have never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread," and he was firm in that faith and he was right and that is what I think was meant in the record when it says "They had all things in common.'' This condition did not last long ind for the very reason that hu man nature is what it is. Then as now things we get free, for noth ing, are worth just what they cost, paving all things in common was voluntary. The Christians loved one another and supported one an other and shared with one anoth er. But they did it, not by law, such as we call the "Social Secur ity" law today. I think the story of Ananias and Sapphira tells just what happened. As the group swelled in number and as it was noised around that there was al ways something to eat among t?em and that the member* shared rnryifttng, chiselers began to dip in and join. It was too good a thing for the lazy and shiftless to miss. That outraged Peter when Ananias and Sapphira tried to chisel in and lied about it, and it cost them their lives. This com munism did not last very long for we do not find it emphasized in the further records. Communism never did last and never will last. In a recent ?very member can vas in our church there was a business man on our board. When the proposal lor the annual budget came up he began to figure. There were six hundred memhers and he took the sum of the total budget and divided it by the number of members and told us it was that simple. If each member paid a dollar a week that would do the trick. Some of the older and more experienced told him that one hundred out of six hundred mem bers carried nine-tenths of the bud get, and many gave sporadically or not at all. If a church was like a lodge or Chamber of Commerce and a specified amount of dues as assigned to each member, the bud get would be easy. But it is not so. The church is a voluntary af fair- and what one gives is up to his own conscience. I never was very strong on the tithing idea. Jacob tried to make that kind of a deal with God and said he would give back a tenth if God would make him rich. Some, if the tithe were given, would be contribut ing entirely too much, but more if they tithed would be giving too little. One woman became very in dignant in our church one cam naign and said "They tell me I should give one-tenth of my in come. I make no pledge but 1 am sure that I give at least a twen tieth." Whenever we attempt to make people good by passing a law we fail. We can no more make the measure of our gifts and support of the Christian religion a matter of law. What you give is the depth of your own heart. 1 never did like a method of raising mon ey for a church which 1 have seen * used. The promoter, usually work ing on a percentage, calls "Out "Who will give a thousand dol lars." Some one holds up the hand and then somebody else figures "I can give as much as he did." I have seen in church meetings tin containers used for collection boxes. A big silver dollar would , make a big noise and a little dime a little tinkle. I quote often a remark Jesus made when one day he was stand ing in the temple watching two contributors cast gifts into the box. A rich man ostentaciously threw in a great sum and swag gered away. Others contributed and presently a poor widow in a worn shawl came and dropped in a few pennies. Jesus was touched and remarked that she had con tributed more than the rich man j because she had given all she had and would probably go hungry that night for dinner.

(42) And they continued stead- ! fastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of ; bread, and in prayers. (43) And \ fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. (44) And all j that believed were together, and ! had all things common; (45) And I sold their possessions and goods, J and parted them to all men, as every man had need. (46) And they, continuing daily with one i accord in the temple, and breaking | bread from house to house, did cat j their meat with gladness and sin gleness of heart. (47) Praising j God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the I church daily such as should be ' saved. (31) And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled to gether; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the wo(d of God with bold ness. (32) And the multitude of them that believed were of one i heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things com mon. (38) And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. (34) Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold. (35) And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribu tion was made unto every man ac cording as he had need. UNCLE JED SAYS . . . Some (oiks waste a lot of time itching (or the things they ought to be scratching (or. Now, as you know, you can itch (or good things and bad things. You should never itch (or bad things. But i( you're itching (or something worthwhile, then get down and start scratching and you'll dig something up. There are too many people who want a good juicy living without scratching (or it. Gangsters, boot leggers and other types o( people try it. But many so-called good people try it, too. But we shouldn't get our living o(( someody else, i( we are able to work. Let's start scratching right at the beginning o( this new year, and maybe we will not only scratch out a good living, but I'm sure we'll scratch out something good (or many others.
