ing to an article released in

I am sure that all of uf
want , to sponsor any move

and girls of our city and
county.
The , article said that "Su
perintendent Mayo said prior
to his policy, change several
months ago, the local , troop

used by the troop, and tnbney

In our study of Christian
discipleship we examine to
day one of the sins against
which Jesus urged an unend
ing war the sin of hypo
crisy. f It is a sin to which all of
us are prone, and it is all
the more insidious because
despising it we are loath to
admit that we are often
guilty of it.
Our Scriptural verses for
to d a y : pinpoint instances
where the outward trappings
of faith became a cloak for
inward, spiritual deceit. So
Intent were the Pharisees in
preserving the rituals of
their faith, that they became
insensitive to the true mean
ing of what that faith meanti
In studying these chapters
in Luke, we cannot help but
b(! impressed with the ab
horrence in which Jesus, Son
of. God, held such hypocrisy,
and in the light of His
words, we should be moved to
examine our inner thoughts
and feelings in this regard.
Are we as self-professed
and publicly-declared Chris
tians as guilty as the Phari
sees? Do we claiming to
aspire to all the attributes
of Christianity feel the lov
ing concern for our fellow
men that Christ demanded of
His followers and still com
mands today? Do we count
our blessings, and give heart
felt thanks for them,, and
share them with the less for
tunate among us? Do we
suffer in. silence when some
one wrongs us, or does us an
injustice, and forgive them
for the errors of their ways?
iDo we continue' in our for
bearance still, and turn a
loving countenance 'toward
them, as Jesus himself did,
or do we turn on them in
fury, waxing loud in our de
nunciation, and act spitefully
toward them? Are we mere
ly giving lip service to our
professed faith? -
Does our church (and what
it stands for) have a place in
our life one day a week or
does it have a place in our
lives seven days a week?
And before we answer:
"Of course I am concerned
for my . neighbor;' of course I
am mindful of my blessings;
of course I forgive my ene
miesI am a Christian" we
will do well to remember
that God sees what is in our
hearts, and judges us accord
ingly. . . .. - -
For Jesus, in rebuking the
Pharisee for the importance
he placed on outward ob
servances of his creed, was
drawing attention to the mis
taken idea held by that re
ligious group, that if their
bodies were clean and unde
f iled during their devotions,
then they themselves were
acceptable to God. A clean
heart greatly desired by
the Lord was not so easily
attained. Nor could it 1 be
h attained by (he formality of
I the washing of hands.
. Again, the Pharisees were
meticulous in tithing, for
such was the law. They
completely overlooked the
fact that, tithing was not a
legal matter, to a true
Christian. They also failed
to recognize the important
aspect of such things i as
all of which were ' also
judgment, mercy and faith,
enumerated in their laws.
Today we face the same
traps as those that beset the
Pharisees. Too often, With
out our being conscious of it,
we become overly engrossed
with material riches, and
neglect the riches of the
spirit. We fail to recognize
that material riches con
crete possessions are the
most illusionary ' riches of
all. The intangible riches of
the spirit a. happy and lov
ing heart, a generous and
out-going spirit; a sense of
responsibility and a willing
ness to serve whenever and
wherever an opportunity c
curs these are the only
riches worth possessing, and
these are the only offerings
we can make to God. with
K a certainty of their inecent.

rich we arel ''

THE CHURCH FOR ALU
At-u for The church
The Church is the greatest factor
an earth for the buildin of charac
ter and aod citizenship. It is a store
house of spiritual values! Without a
atron( Church, neither democracy
nor civilization can survive. There
are four sound reasons why every .
person should attend services regu
larly and support the Church. Thiy
are: (1) For his own sake. (21 For
his children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and material
support. Pan to so to church nsjr
larly and read your BibU daily.
What is as thrilling to a child as winter and a
nice fresh snow? But for an adult, shopping-.or work
ing in winter weather, nothing is. more miserable
This goes for so many things. What looks goo4 to
one person looks terrible to another. What one perbon r.
enjoys doing, another dislikes. What agrees with one
disagrees with another. , i i V Jj
There is nothing wrong with this. We have a sight
to our individual likes and, dislikes, to our individual
opinions. We also have the right to know the basic
things in life, the truths that apply to everyone. These
are the foundation blocks upon which all else is built.
This is the kind of knowledge given to us byflthe
Church. .:'''':.- v . '; ;":.;
If you, have been thinking that church-goers-are
conformists people who believe what they are told
and let it go at that then you've heen making a
mistake. Because a group ef houses are built uptm
the same firm ground does not "mean that each house
cannot be separate unto itself. Because a man goes
to church does not mean that he is one of a mold
