THE CHURCH IN
THE COMMUNITY
By
Rev. Frank Bloxham
The Church, in spite of its di
visions today, exists to bear wit
ness to the Life and teaching of
Jesus Christ. There are three
questions to which men have al
ways tried to find answers, and to
them the Church gives the answers
which it has learned from its
Founder.
I. What is God like ?
What lies behind the mystery
of life and death, joy and suffer
ing, progress and reaction? Some
men have imagined that there is
only a blind force, others have
talked of an Infinite Being, others
have imagined a -relentless fate.
The Church has learned from
Christ that God is love, and that
we can see Him in Jesus Christ.
“He that hath seen Me hath seen,
the Father.”
II. -The second question concerns
the individual. Are we just bodies
with a physical life tp be lived in
this world, with pleasure as the
best thing we know, or are we
really spiritual beings with a love
of self-sacrifice and beauty and
goodness? Are we right in believ
ing that this life is not all, but

that there is another life beyond
the grave? The Church has learn**
ed its answer from Jesus Christ
Who taught that man is a spirit
ual being, created in order that he
may know and love God in life and
in the life to come.
III. The third Question relates to
the common life of nunkind. Is
Strife and competition and war the
natural condition in which men
must live, or is there a possibility
of fellowshp and brotherhood and
progress which shall lead to
peace? Jesus Christ taught that
the Fatherhood of Gcd was a fact
and that men are brothers because
they are God's children.
These facts did not die with the
j crucifixion of Christ. The remark
able fact is that ever since He
lived and died we have had follow
ers who have tried to give the
same answers and have proved
that they are true, because they
have learned from Him. In the
midst of all the upheaval and the
uncertainty caused by it in the
world today, the Church stands as
a v/itneFS that Jesus Christ is the
way trough our perplexities; the
truth in whom our doubts are sat
isfied; and the life for which we
are vainly searching.
Is the Church in this community
worthy of your support?

Highlands School
Theatre
The moving picture coming to
the Highlands School Theatre on
Monday and Tuesday, August 2$
and 24, is well worth your time
and money. “BROADWAY MEL
ODY OF 1938,” starring Robert
Taylor and Eleanor Powell, is re
ported to be one of the best pic
tures of the year. It is a musical
show, with all the glamour and
series of sequences which mark
such type of* shows. Robert Tay
lor has an outstanding personality,
and has many fans among both
the mien and women, of our land.
His screen technique grows better
with each successive picture. And
Broadway Melodies of 1938 has a
supporting cast of stars in the
making. In fact, one movie mag
azine is reputed to have s£id, “It
doesn’t pay to make supporting
players outshine the Star”, when
referring to this picture. We ask
you to watch George Murphy as
well as the other lesser lights in
this forthcoming production.
