For Your Information Dear friends, i William Penn (Pennsylvania) re ceived his land charter from the King of England in 1681. Penn built ' no forts, established no garrisons, and used no violence to maintain his r claim. He treated the native Ameri cans as ihe legal owners and pur chased the land from them at a fair market value. Penn treated the Indian not as a heathen, but as a 1 brother who worshipped the same Great Spirit he did. This 'holy exper f iment' still beckons as a model of peace and racial accord. t Respectfully, SWINDELL ' FUNERAL HOME GL-.? ? = HltlfOtO.

In this lesson he reminded the Thessalonian believers that those who cherish the blessed hope of the coming again of Christ should live in strict obedience to their Lord, and while they are looking for His return they should find great comfort in the assurance that they are going to be reunited with their Christian loved ones and friends who have departed from this earthly life. The Christians of the first century considered the second coming of Christ very important, and so should we. After commending and honoring the Thessalonian Christians for their remarkable achievements in the realm of brotherly love, Paul exhorted them to increase more and more in this important virtue and great duty. He also urged them to strive diligently for a more perfect exemplification of the love which God had revealed in and through His Son. This should be the goal of every Christian. Paul exhorted the Thessalonians to make it their am bition to be quiet, thereby improving their record great ly. He did not want them to be like those who delight in a row to such an extent that they gladly create one in order to have one in progress. He also urged all Chris tians to avoid inquisitiveness and to be diligent in atten ding strictly to their own business. Paul knew that such a procedure would protect them from meddlesomeness and idleness, either of which is a curse to any partici pant. Every Christian is obligated to engage in the service of the Lord. Those who strive to do the Lord's will are not dependent upon others for the necessities of life. Not only do they earn an honest living, but they also enjoy the respect of those who have never made any profes sion of faith in Christ. All whom the Lord has saved should display genuine Christian love and set a worthy example in usefulness. Some of the Thessalonian Christians, who were waiting, watching and expecting Christ to return during their lifetime, were disturbed and distressed by the fact that their loved ones who had passed away would have to occupy a position secondary to those who would be living when Christ returned. Paul taught these confused and perplexed Christians not to worry about their saved, departed relatives and friends not sharing in the glory of Christ's kingdom. When Christ comes again, the first thing that will take place, Paul says, will be the resurrection of the bodies of the saved. Whereas unbelievers do not have any hope beyond the grave, believers in Christ have a genuine hope, and their hope is based upon the resurrection of Christ. As certainly as Christ arose from the tomb, Christians will be raised by the power of God also. When Christ returns, He will descend in person in the atmospheric heaven with a shout. It will be a shout of command, somewhat like that of a military officer, but far more wonderful. As His commanding voice reached Lazarus in his grave and he arose from the dead and walked out of his tomb, so those who have died in the Lord will respond en masse to Christ's authoritative voice when He returns for His own. The archangel will rejoice and exult in the tremendous victory which will be occasioned by the resurrection of the saved from the dead, when the blast of the trumpet calls them to their heavenly glory. The living Christians will then be changed from mortals to immortals and called up to meet their Lord. It will be wonderful to be reunited with our Christian loved ones and friends whom we have, "loved long since and lost awhile." Thank God, we shall recognize and know them, and remain with them forever. What a joy that will be!
