True Chi istians have been saved from the penalty of sin for one reason alone: W'cause of “the low of God, which Is (re vealed) in Christ Jesus our Lord.” St, John wrote by divine inspi r'd ion; “Herein >: lovi“, not that wo loved God, ’out that He loved us, and sent His Son to lx> the sa tisfaction for our sins.” “We love Him lx?cause He first loved us” (I John 4:10, 13). It is not our love to Him, then, but His love to us, that saves us-and it is His love to us that keeps iis saved. This Is swhere we must begin the Chri Charch Chuckles by CAHTWRIGHT M 1 C 3 CZ3 L —~3 X/ O CD ego CO ®gH»s.c«tfi’ww?cr>n "l gav» at tha offica." sound this note tonight conscious of the fact that in addition to the fine emotional syllables con tained in the topic, we need to add practical, realistic content to our abstract slogan. You cannot pursue together ness by trving t’o get separated from everybody else. Some of the loudest calls for ‘‘getting together' ’ come from people who want to lx? exclusive. They say that we’ll get together without white people, or poor people, or educated people, or the men, or the wonfen, or anybody over thirty, or anylwdv under twenty. Sometimes, these apostles of exclusiveness want to make it together without government, or political process, or legisla tures, or courts, or policemen. Others want to get it all together without business, or corpora tions, or organized labor, or banks. In fact, if you listen to this line of talk long enough, you will realize tl at what is being said is, “I don’t actually want to get together with anyone but myself, because nobody else is old enough, or young enough, or white enough, or black enough for me--exeept me.*' From the beginning, the NAACP has been convinced that the problem is big enough and tough enough to require many hands, many minds, many quali ties, many allies, many strate gies--and all ol them together— if the goals are to be achieved. Opinions vary, convictions differ, judgements will be op nosed. Getting together will not work on the basis of self-right eousness or dogmatism. So to getherness in the real sense has to carry with it an acceptance of differences. Some want to blackball you if you use the word “Negro*' or the word “Col ored.” Others reject you when you (iso the word “black” as a f * tian life. A wayward husband returned to his grieving wife one day, af ter many months of living in sin.

Asked why, then, he tud not returned sonner, he explain ed that he was ashamed; to which his wife replied; “John. I want you to know something and nev er forget it; I love you.” And John sobbed in response; “M ho wouldn’t want to live for a wo man like this!” Just so it Is the knowledge that Christ love us no matter what; that nothing shall ever separate us from His love; it is this that make the sincere believer determine, by God’s grace, to be always true to Him. noun or “black” as an adiectLe. We shall not achieve together ness if some of us won’t have anything to do with others just because they choose to use Ne gro instead of black or Afro- American, instead of colored. Senator Humphrey sounded as if he hau made up his mind and was on the campaign trail. He praised the NAACP and said that it was the one organization that had dedicated itself to the prin ciples upon which this country was founded. He called upon It to join the other forces that have come to the realization that freedom and democracy were not only rights that should be talked about, but were ideals that had to lx? real if this coun try is to attain the greatness that it lias preached and failed to practice where all of its cit izens wore concerned. MEDITATION A SERMONETTE BY COLIN DOUGLAS “I therefore...beseech you to walk worthily of the calling... forbearing one another in love; giving diligence to keep the u nity of the Spirit and the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4;1,2,3. One of the surest ways to pro mote your own happiness is to woi k with the thought of making others happy, to practice be holding them as children of God. You can help create harmony at home, in an organization, or in a place of business by seeing only the good in others and work ing always w ith good will. Another person may seem to all appearances to be harsh or thoughtless or unjust, but In reality he is as you are, a di vine child of the Divine Father, If you will see through the seem ing faults to the perfection with in him, you will help bring him to a realization his divine na ture. The love you hold for others will bring untold bless ings to you. If you are Inclined to feel bitter toward anyone, reverse your attitude. Do not wait for the other person to change, but change your own thoughts. Yor will bring good to both, for that is the Law of God. You cannot bless another person without being blessed yourself. Giving of our love and friend ship to those alxaiit us is a de termining factor in experiencing deep satisfaction, happiness and joy. Giving of our love and un derstanding to others widens the circle of our friends, which in return brightens our life and adds spiritual grace and beauty to it. “A new commandment 1 give unto vou, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one an other. By this shall all men know that ve are my disciples,*' John 13:34,35, MekorryTo Set Up African Training Center NASHVILLE., Tenn. - Dr. Ralph H.

There are those who despair of ever getting out of their situation and so despondency sets in and a :ji|i lack of desire to strive for worthly goals enters the spirit. A loving God would have us aware of these whose lives, self-respect and character could be saved if we were interested enough. gx God often impresses the needs of His children upon those who attend His church. ijijij: It is His will that we should show forth the love of God for mankind by helping all •:$ # vly who are suffering.
