GOODBYE, DEATH!
1 Take your Bible, please,
and open it to Genesis
| Chapter 5. Here we see
that all of them had one
thing in common. They
all died. Some of them
could have been rich and
some could have been poor,
some good people, seme
bad, but they all died.
Notice that none of them
lived 1,000 years because
1,000 years is as one day
with the Lord. We see
that death is our enemy
and sin, when it is finish
ed, brings forth death.
When Jesus died for our
sins, you and me, He paid
the price and now we can
say goodbye, death. In the
resurrection Jesus over
came death and He lives.
The saints that die today
wil 1 soon be with their
Savior. I’d like to ask
you, “Are you ready to
meet your Maker? Will
it be Heaven or Hell? If
. you aren’t saved on this
side while you are alive,
there are no chances on
the other side. Christ is
the answer. Won’t you
take Him now before it is
too late?”
“The Bible says: “The
last enemy that shall be
destroyed is death.” I

New York ABS Notes
Inflation: Today the Am

spends upwards of $200,000
annually giving Scriptures
to American servicemen
and women, according to a
report presented at the
151st annual ABS meeting
May 11 at the Plaza Ho
tel. When the society
first presented Scriptures
to military personnel 150
years ago, the total cost
was $55.25 for supplying 65
Bibles to the crew of the
USS Adams.
New York Dollars and
Census: The number of
Scriptures (38,981,620) dis
tributed by the American
Bible Society in the United
States during 1966 alone,
would provide more than
one-fifth of the population
of the United States with
the printed Word. This
incurred a distribution cost
of $1,864,672. These fig
ures are included in a re
port which was presented
at the 151st annual meet

Let’s Go To Church Sunday
Sunday School Lesson
TRANSFORMED BY CHRIST
International Sunday School Lesson for June 4
Memory Selection: “What things are gain to
me, those I counted loss for Christ.”—Philip
pians 3:7.
Lesson Text: Acts 9:1-31.
In today’s lesson we are concerned with the
transformation conversion to Christ’s ways will
bring to our lives. To confirm this fact, we
have only to look to the story of the conversion
of Saul.
Saul, the persecutor, became the persecuted.
Even though he had been converted, he was re
luctantly accepted by the disciples, for they
were distrustful of his intent.
Saul, however, had one ally—Barnabas. Bar
nabas, trusted and respected by all, believing
Saul to be genuine in his professions of faith,
ranged himself on his side, and stayed there
tenaciously. Such is the fellowship of man.
Paul preached before both Jews and Gentiles; j
he knew no boundaries of race or creed, for he
believed the Word to be universal. Like Christ,
he sought out the excluded ones, for (like Christ)
he saw this was where his work lay. The story j
of Saul affirms the innate ability to change ;
that lies in everyone.
Thus Paul preached before Gentiles, as well j
as Jews. The Christian community of believers
was—in Paul’s eyes—a fellowship. The age- I
old distinctions which separated Jews and Gen- j
tiles, to Paul, was unimportant, for Christ was
(and is) universal.
In reviewing Paul’s character, we -see that j
pride was removed from his makeup. Saul was i
somewhat notorious for his arrogance; the adop
tion cf the name “Paul” was, perhaps, synono
mous of the change that had come about in this
man; for Paul was known for his teachings,
which was tempered, always, with humanity.
Humility became Paul; convicted of his wrong
doing, he repented and surrendered his life to
the service of Christ—whom he had hitherto
been persecuting.
Indeed, in the story of Saul (or Paul) there
lies a lesson for everyone who would proclaim
himself a Christian, for in Paul’s attributes—
his moral character, his refinement, his prestige
and popularity among the people of his times—
all these were telling weapons !n the struggle
to bring Christ’s message to the people.
But, as we study the story of his conversion,
we realize that all these fine characteristics
were not enough to swing the pendulum. We
realize that to these attributes it was necessary
to add the ingredients of faith, unconditional
surrender of the will, the yeasts of total com
mitment and total obedience, before the sum
total of this man was worthy of Christ.
We live in a time of changing mores, and we
are apt to conform to those standards, for man
is strongly endowed with the herd instinct.
