:r :.tl M II . , By GEORGE B.RUSS . U Mrs. Celestia H. Sanders was guest speaker for the Faith t Gospel Tabernacle United Holy Church, June 9th, where they observed Women's Day. The theme of the Observance was "Women In Action For Christ." The Revl Mrs. Frances McKinnoa .'was Chairman of this salute to Christian Women. - We will begin with the returned Missionary, in a raptuous voice Mrs Ran flora Koran Uiecinnsra .vahimot frnm Mow flitinM and someone asked him, what did you find when you arrived there?" He replied, 'I found hopeless situation. The people were worse than beasts. Often if a baby began to cry, the mother would become angry and throw it into the ditch, and leave it to die. If a man saw his father break his leg, he would leave him on the side of the road to die. People simply had no compassion and no moral sense." r " ' Well, did you preach to them?"f he was asked. .'No! the Missionary replied, 'i did not preach, I just loved. When I saw a man with a broken leg, I mended it. When I saw a baby crying, I ; picked it up and comforted it. I took care of them in the best way possible, and when they asked me why I didX; I had a chance to preach the gospel to them. Did you succeed?" the man asked. The Missionary replied, yes, when I left New Guinea, I left a thriving church in that community! , tr ; f Y - , J"You can see, then,' that good Christian life is effective; Look after your Christian duties. Stay on the job and be faithful to him. Give your best to the simple Christian duties of life. You A il. i UL1..I i.. A.L. ' 1171. A ..A... gei on me Deam wnen you are noi igimiui w menu nueu juu neglect prayer and Bible reading, you get off the beam. God has given us these means to help us.. To stenghten us and to keep us on the right track. I can. tell when a man is reading his Bible, and praying, I can see a change In his life. He grows in grace, he is more interested in his church, he is not criticizing and gossiping he is working for the interest of the Kingdom. ; t A sign placed in the front of a church read, 'This church is open come in Rest in Pray.' Many people were encouraged to stop a minute and lift up their hearts to God for spiritual strength. We knew that a Christian gets "off the beam" when he neglects hfc flayer flfe-'i We get "off the beam" when we get angry. All of Us are guilty right here. Something comes up that goes against us and we boil over like a pot of water on a hot fire. "We are off the beam" then. We are not showing the Christian spirit which we ought to have. "But," you say, "this may be true, but think of how much damage you do yourself and others in the few minutes that you are angry. ',' . " Billy Sunday said, 'it is like the discharge of a shotgun. It takes only a minute, but it destroys everything near it., So it is with our evil tempers. There is more of Satan in us than there Is of Christ when we lose our tempers. Anger eats away the sweetness of our religion, the peace of our hearts and the power of our influence. Yes, you get "of the beam" when you get angry. " When you have an unforgiving spirit you "get of the beam." the unforgiving spirit is certainly the unChristian spirit. The bible tells us not to let the sun go down on our wrath. We are told to forgive 70 time 7. Jesus on the cross is a supreme example, of the Christian spirit.. His enemies were putting Him to death, but still he could say, Father, forgive them for they know not what they A . ..... J ... 11 J U . ..... U- ..II. A I- A ceimui man was eitu miu was uiiu no was uyiug. lie vaucu 111 his enemy and offered him his forgiveness. In a few minutes they were rejoicing in a period of sweet fellowship. But the sick man said, now just remember if I do tet well, the old grudge still holds. Why not forgive and forget and really mean it? Forgiveness is like the scent of sweet flowers when they are trampled on. If you have unforgiving spirit, get it out today and get back "on the Deam oi uoas way lor your uie. , ..,, You geffihe-beam"-when you quit serving God. I have heard people say, "The church doesnt need me." The church needs every single member to help carry on its work. There are many spokes in the wheel is that much weakend. Whoever you are, if you are not in your place, you are weakening the church just that much. Some people serve God simply by being faithful. Do not think you are of little importance if you are hot holding a high job in the church. Some little people mean more to the kingdom simply by being faithful than many others do who are failing God in their loyalty. Surely the real Christian does hot feel right when he is not serving God. You are "off the beam" if you are not busy for Him every day. You get off the beam when you seek Happiness elsewhere except in Jesus and in His service. This old world is filled with unhappy people in every way. They are looking for happiness, but they are looking for it in the wrong places. They seek it in the worl. In pleasures, in the pursuit of material things. They are "off the beam" Happiness is found only in Christ anin His service. A dying man was laughing and smiling, and his doctor, said to him, man, don't you realize you are dying?" "Yes," said the man, but that is alright. Years ago I met a man who taught me how to smile and I can smile even in death because of Him. His name is Jesus. 'Yea though I walk through the Valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Poor sinners, poor carnal Christians who are looking for happiness and cannot find it! You do not look for warmth at the North Pole, nor for Icebergs In Florida. Yet you are looking for your happiness in the wrong places. You are "off the beam." Look for happiness in the service of Christ and you will surely find It. I'-' . .; Lastly, my friends, we get off the beam when we fail to trust God completely. He wanand most of us are guilty right here. Some trouble comes up and we begin to worry and not trust. There are two things which ought to make us trust God. Firt, we Ought to trust Him because he promises to care for us. A husband promises to care for his wife and she trusts him to do that A father promises to feed and clothe his children and they trust him for it. God's book is full fo promises. You and I may fail in our promises, but God never does you can trust Him. Let us find God's place in our lives and let us Dve always for Him. We are His, created in His image and redeemed by the blood of His Son. God help us to get" on the beam and to do what He puts us here to do." s " fC: . .
