This m using the church as it ahould be used place to- worship, place in which to seek balm, for a wounded ' and bleeding spirit: place in which to offer thanks for the bounties which God ' has be stowed upon us. ,- This 4 the apir- itual function which the church fulfills. THE CHURCH CONFRONTS SOCIETY Memory Selection: "Let our people learn to apply themselves to good deeds, so as to help eases of urgent need, and not to be unfruitful." Titus 3:14. Lesson Text: Matthew 5:13-16; Acts 19:21-11: Thessalonians 6: 4-8; James 2: 11,-17, In today's lesson we study the wavs in which the church can most effectively serve and influ ence society and the people who need its help. As Christians, we are all a greed that the church fulfills man's spiritual needs as nothing else can. The deepest need of human life is to seek after and find God. This is one of the fun damentals in life. A church pro- Tides a place of worship and a nmtrrnm that-. hrinrs ntfln JinH Ond I - " f r together in fellowship and serv ice, church abets and encourag es the nurture of our souls. It Offers us a place to worship, a sanctuary to which we can go and commune with God in times of great trouble and adversity, where we can humbly ask God to give us strength to bear our bur dens, or a place where we can offer our thanks to Him for our many blessings. (One of the most moving passages in the scriptures is the verse: "Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.") Perhaps England, where congregational attendance has not always been what it should be, came close to the true meaning of what the church stood for when, at the cessation of hostilities with the German . nation in World War II, she found her churches crowded to overt lowing when people from all us of life turned with one tre- j'ious " and reassuring spon The church also has a duty to the community in which it stands. A church simply cannot live in isolation from the community if it is to fulfill its God-appointed function. "Enter to worship; go forth to serve," should be the guiding principle of all Chris tians who take an active part in the profession of their faith. How can they do this? By sharing the miracles of God's grace with those outside the church. o c Here Ccrr.es TI:a Bookmobile O ;,. ;0 mm tarujity to the: House of God, giv ing thanks for their . deliverance front skies that rained death day and night for so many Jong years, In the early centuries the church established hospitals and schools for the welfare of the needy. Up until the present century, charitable institutions were largely financed and direct ed by the church. These activi ties were all excellent expressions of the love of God at work in Christians, and today, as civili zation has advanced, the oppor tunities to do good unto our fel low-men have increased ten-fold. There are basic needs that the Christian Church can and must supply in our modern society. Study the text of James 2:14-17. "What does it profit, my breth ren, if a man says he has faith ibut has not works: .... If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving tfhem the things needed for the bod, what does it profit?" The motivating force behind community interest is love for others, sympathf and compas sion for the needs of men, who ever they may be. Jesus teach es us this concept in his telling of the story of the Good Samari tan to the lawyer Who had asked him "Who is my neighbor?" (Luke 10:27-37). Jesus, himself, IbeUievled in a practical applioar tion of religion, and, as Chris tians, believing . in. Him, we can do mo Jess than follow baa teach ings, y - -t "Well, her we ar again; Bookie Too and me, just a-lttin' in the sun at Mr, Foggs' Servic Station Huey has come an gone.

Poor dear,' we put her though the paces last week; and she behaved like a veteran of many : winters. We came to several mud holes that we thought we had better not try to pull , through: but Bookie Too called us a sissy, and told us if we would cooperate with her, she would show us bow to pull right on through those old mud holes without battin' an eye. Well, we argued around a few seconds, and before we knew it, we found we were agreeing to try. Oh yes, we did it went right on through those ominous looking mudholes, but we batted our eyes several times.

We feel real sor ry to think that we have had to treat our Spring Creek and Mead. ow Fork readers that way, but honest we jusfr couldn't help it. Oh well, we know they under stand that we would have come if we had thought it was at all safe; and we also know that they have told us many times never to risk our neck to bring them books when the roads are slick and dan gerous. We are more than thank ful that we live and work in a county where folks are so kind and considerate. That statement comes from the very bottom of my heart. Thanks, friends, thanks a lot for being so .glad to see us when we do come, and so kind and patient when file weather keeps ns off the route as it has so much this winter.
