THE WARREN RECO
LESSON
If Ck?rUiC.l>aM
Christian Consecration. Lesson
for December 26th. Phil 1:12-26.
Golden Text: Phil. 1:21.
The need for a fresh consecration
to the Christian ethic and ideal is
very real. There are 10,000 villages
i? v,, nVnirches. 30.000
Hi illllCi lUCi WX011UUU ? ? ,
without resident pastors, and 30,400,000
children under twelve who
are receiving no training in the disciplines
of religious faith and practice.
Moreover hostile forces are
now at work in an attempt to de!
feat the Christian program. "We
are no longer confronted," writes
Dean Sperry, of Harvard, "with old,
dying religions in the Orient; we
are faced by new and powerful religions
of political and racial nature.
Furthermore, within Christendom
itself, we are now confronted by
I organized and fully self-conscious
! theories of race, class, and state
which are candidly anti-Christian."
In the face of this critical need
and stubborn hostility conventional
Christianity has a hard fight indeed.
There are too many nominal
church members who live in a state
of "faded religiosity," paying verbal'
honors only to their Master. They!
1 want comfort rather than a call to
J arms. They are full of good will
but they play safe on all controversial
issues. They rarely move outside
the pleasant circle of their parj
ticular social group. They have no
convictions for which they would
make a genuine sacrifice.
Over against this soft, lazy, im,
mature type of faith one thinks of
i the blazing passion of the apostle,
j Paul, as voiced in the inspiring pasl
sage chosen for our lesson. Confined
in a filthy jail, and knowing
L
i dubbonet suit with a fox collar, and
. brown accessories, and carried
E Talisman roses and valley lilies.
The groom entered with his brother,
Emery Carlton, best man.
, The couple left immediately for
a short wedding trip. After Decem;
ber 26th they will be at home in
