We do not prove our Chris

ability to rearrange the

does that also. He takes the
pulpit out every time the
young folks want to arrange
a wedding. He would move
the pews to make room for a
dance. He would use the
choir loft for a political plat
form. He would use the
preacher as an agent of secu

would see to it that the
church members were cordi

where the boobs and the bob

The greens will be in real
good shape through the 12th
of this month. We will start
our overseeding on the 13th,
which is a Tuesday. You
will be able to play on them
as we get through each green
and they will not be as bad
to putt on as you might
think. When you are playing
and you come to a green that
we are working cn, please do
not hit on the green. Just
give yourself a par and go to
the next hole. This is so as
to not hold the workers back.
If they waited for everyone
to play the hole, we would
never get through. Thanks
in advance.

Make Going To Church A Habit
NEW LIFE IN CHRIST
International Sunday School Lesson for Oct 11
Memory Selection: "1 am crucified with
Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Chrht
liveth in me: and the life which 1 now live in
the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave himself for me.”—Ge
lations 2:20.
Lesson Text: Matthew 5:1-9; Luke 19:1-10;
Romans 8:1-9; d Corinthians 5:17-21.
Last Sunday we studied what was unique in
our faith. Today we are really studying an ex
tension of that theme, for we are now concerned
with our admittance to a new life through Jesus
Christ And who could be more unique than
this Personage?
Man, estranged from God by his foolish foiblee
and weaknesses, sinned repeatedly from the be
ginning of time. God, however, was never es
tranged from man. This is aptly demonstrated
when we consider the sacrifice He made in giv
ing the life of His only begotten Son, who died
on the cross that the sins of mankind might be
henceforth absolved.
•When man, deeply and sincerely aware of the
grace thus extended him, responds to a suitable
degree, he is, indeed, “bom again.” SELFISH
NESS, which has hitherto been man’s prime
motivations, becomes SELFISHNESS. DESPAIR
becomes HOPE. INDIFFERENCE becomes
CONCERN.
Perhaps nowhere in the Bible are the attri
butes of the Christ-like life more beautifully de
scribed in the Beatitudes. (Matthew 5, verses
3-9). They epitomize the Christian lift and at*
titude.
"The poor in spirit” are those who humbly
and openly acknowledge their spiritual poverty—
and go about repairing it—in Christ. And in
this the key word is repentance of sins. An
acknowledgment—a striving to do better.
“Those who mourn” are those who, recogniz
ing their poverty of spirit, mourn their condi
tion, and strive to improve it.
"The meek” are those who humbly hand the
direction of their souls to God, trusting in His
omnipotence to bring something worthy out of
their fleeting existence on earth.
Those who “hunger and thirst after righteous
ness” are those individuals who desire to be
intimately related to God, and who strive to
live a life of which He would approve.
"The merciful” possess an understanding
heart, a blind eye, a truly loving disposition.
“The pure in heart” will not be swayed from
the devotion they tender to their Maker—they
are steadfast in their loyalty, while the “peace
makers” unceasingly strive to reconcile man
with man, and man with God.
None of these Christian attributes come to
mankind naturally; they have to be striven for.
They cannot be attained without God’s help.
And when we fail in that striving, we are con
tent in the knowledge that God has taken note
of our strivings. He forgives our falls from

Energy and exuberance a're trademarks of youth. You can see it clearly
when a group of cheerleaders go into action.
• Quick reaction is a mark of youth. If the team wins, these girls will be
on top of the world. If it loses, they will go home with shoulders slumped.
They haven’t really learned "to take it’’. Withstanding both success and
failure is a mark of maturity, and finding the strength to go on becomes
an act of faith.
Have you grown up? Do you have that kind of faith? If not, the first
steps toward finding it might be a walk to the church door.
