4 - THE CAROLINA TIMES SAT MAY 22, 1976 1 I J I LOOKED AND I SAW By Rev. C. R. Stone Second Episcopal AHE Laymen's , Organization to Convene (lore "ALL MEN CAN KNOW" The Second Episcopal A. M. E. Laymen's Organization will hold the Annual Mid Year meeting at St. Joseph's A. M. E. Church, 2521 Fayetteville Street, Durham, Rev. Phillip R. Cousin, minis ter and candidate for Episco pal honors 1976 and How can the children of men know that they posses treasures members hail the laity with with the Father? All men can erase the slightest legree of doubt open arms. Laymen soldiers, by fellowshipping with the brethren with whom they meet on a strong in unit and love tra- daily basis. The fellowship of which I speak limits the evil spirit velin8 owt the Episcopal Dis- which so often prevails. The primary factor which limits the trict comprising the Virginia, evil spirit is the element of true love which must be demonstrated by the brethren. For example, Jesus said, "all men can know that yje arc my disciples if ye have love for one another." Of course, the Master Teacher was placing direct emphasis, on our being doers of the word and constraining ourselves from using a multitude of words from our lips. The tiiic love which can only come forth through the divine channel of God worketh no evil on the part of Christians toward one another. The idea as expressed here does not mean that 'Christians will be in complete harmony under all circumstances. However, it does mean that inspite of varying views, we will retain the Christian-like cool in heads and hearts. Further, it means that if we are Christians in love, we look beyond the idea of man being the center of our faithful doings thus, allowing Christ to be the nucleus of our faith. The nucleus of any living thing or person represents the place where a whole lot of action goes on continuously. Because the true works of Christ do not cease going on within us, all mean men can know that we are His diciples. He who hath ears to hear let him hear.
