Waynesville Pastor Says Americans Complain Over Shortage Of Luxuries As Millions Starve In Europe, Asia Need To Do More Than Pray and Sympathize With Starving Millions, Says Elliott Editor's Note: By Special request of a large number of people, we are publishing the sermon deliv ered by Rev. L. C3. Elliott, pastor j of the First Baptist church on April 26', on the famine in many war torn countries. "GIVE YE THEM TO EAT" "Send them away, that they may go Into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: For they have nothing to eat. He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat." Mark 6:36-37. Famine again stalks the world, and Jesus says, "Give ye them to eat." In Europe one hundred and forty million people have less than enough to eat. China has eighty four million who would be glad to get the garbage of America. In southeast Asia there are one hundred and thirty million calling to America for the "crumbs that fall from our tables." In Calcutta. India, the dogs are having a time of feasting. They roam the streets picking at human flesh and carry ing human bones. A dog was found fighting with an hysterical woman for possesison of her husband's body, Against this background of star vation, hunger, and death thund ers the command of Jesus, "Give ye them to eat." Would that I had the command of words and the spiritual persuasion to make you see this starving mass of people, I mil m;iLrfi vim lii!ir I lini:ii i'ni-flc of Jesus! Many of you can hardly wait until this service ends to run home and gorge yourselves on your abundant Sunday dinner, while millions would be glad to have just the greasy water in which you will wash the dinner dishes. There are times when my food almost sticks to my throat when I think of babies and old people, the once hale and hearty, dying for food. I could al most wish that your Sunday dinner would make you sick, if you make no effort today to help feed these starving people. Our scripture lesson is very ap propriate for this occasion, for we find a painful parallel to our fam ine world today. Let me give you the setting while you notice the similarity. Jesus was trying to get away from the crowd for a little rest. Taking the disciples with Him in the boat, they began to row to the other side of the lake where they could be alone and get some much needed rest. But the crowd hurried around the head of the lake and reach the other side. They were waiting for Jesus when He stepped ashore. There they were, tired, and hungry humanity. It was a desert place, and night was coming on. The disciples be came anxious. These people have lost all sense of time and dist ance. A hungry man is just as hungry at sundown as he is at noon-time; hunger knows no time nor place. Something must be done at once. So the disciples came to Jesus saying, "This is desert country, and the sun is going down. Send these people away that they may buy food for themselves in the surrounding country and villages. Don't you see that they have nothing tb eat:" Like a clap of thunder out of a clear sky, Jesus said, "Give ye them to eat." 1. Thfe starving peoples of the war-ravaged countries are dying for the want of food through no fault of their own. Their homes, towns, and farms Were over-run by the machines of war against their own wills. But regardless of how they came to such a sad plight, they are starving while the average family of Waynesville "How oft shall my bi other sin against me, and I forgive him: till seven times seven?" asked Peter. "Until seventy times seven," answered Jesus. wastes enough to feed three fami lies in Europe. Few of us are in accord on all the questions that beset the world. We debate world conditions while we sit in our warm homes, in easy chairs, while we try to digest Ihe heavy meal we have just consumed. Bui when a child cries for bread, or a man goes raving mad listening to his child cry for bread and there is no bread, we do not disagree. We gladly give what help we can, if there is a drop of the milk of human kindness left in us. 2. In tiiis human interest story before us, the disciples came to Jesus with a suggestion of help less embarrassment. They could think of nothing hut to send the people away, and get rid of the responsibility. If we will be honest with ourselves, we are in the same position. We know that something must be done, but we seem help less in Ihe lace of it. I fear that (oo many of us have the same at titude of the disciples; we would like to get rid of this night-mare of starving humanity. Some of us would push it off on others and forget the whole thing. We Amer icans have a way of trying to forget unpleasant realities. We loose ourselves in mystery stories, moving pictures, and even comic strips. We turn from the scream ing headlines about starvation and complain about a shortage of sugar, soft drinks, shirts, nylons, and automobiles. These are impersonal things, that do not bleed. 3. Too often we think that our i Continued on page 5) Special Services At Dellwood Sunday There will be a special program at the Dellwood Baptist church at 11:00 o'clock. The program will be a Mother's Day event, and spe cial services honoring all men and women in military service will be held. A roll call of those in serv ice will be given in connection with a special flower service. The Everyday -By REV. HERBERT Hatred hurts the hater. It hurts him much more than fhe one hated. The trouble with this conclusion is that it requires thought to reach it, and when we fall victims to rage or hate, we lose our power to think correctly. It is written that, whom the gods would destroy, they first enrage. When you get mad, you are on the way toward throwing away your common sense and judgment. I can't recall ever having done anything under the heat of anger that I did not have to come back and undo, and then do over. Your experience has probably been the same. Having a bad temper is no ex cuse for losing it, in spite of the Safct that many so efend them selves. He who has a strong tem per, but holds it under control will accomplish far more than that one who is tem perless. The high er steam pressure in a boiler, the more power it will generate. When the fires of anger grow cold and crystalize into hate, that is a terrible thing. Our Lord was merciful toward the sins of sudden passion, but relentless against those resulting from cold calculation or hate. He Who suffers from hate in his James and John asked Jesus if one might sit on His right hand and one on His left In glory, but Jesus said that was not His to give. Baptist Hospital Receives Mother's Day Offering "It is fitting that our mothers are honored and our Baptist Hospital I is remembered on the same day, May 12th. The mother of the home is perhaps more sensilive to hu man suffering than any member of the family. She is more than willing to share the memory of her day with the institution dedicated to the heeling of humanity's hurt," to the healing of humanity's hurt," said Rev. L. G. Elliott, pastor of the Baptist church this week in speaking of the contributions to be made in his church. Every Baptist church is expected to remember the Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem with a special offering on Mother's Day, it was pointed out by Mr. Elliott. "Our con. ibutions will in no way subtract from the glory of motherhood, but rather add to it. When we recall that the underlying purpose of the Baptist Hospital has always been medical care for the poor, we can understand why mothers gladly share their honor with such ah institution," he fur ther commented. The Baptist Hospital rendered free service to 4,000 patients dur ing 1945 at a total cost of $167, 204.08. This was more than any denominationally controlled hos pital in the South, and ranks as one of the top. dispensers of charity of institutions in the nation. The North Carolina Baptist churches made this great service possible through their largest Mother's Day offerings in history, amounting to the sum of $119, 165.78, it was pointed out by Mr. Elliott, who expressed the hope that the figures in 1946 would ex ceed those of the past year. West Canton Baptist Church to Have Veterans Sunday School Class Plans are under way in Canton for the organization of a Sunday school class at the West Canton Baptist church for service men of World War II. The class will meet every Sunday at 10 o'clock in the Veterans room of the church. All Veterans are cordially invited to attend. Census figures show 1940 grape fruit production of over 43 million boxes was a thousandfold inc rease since 1899. Counselor SPAUGH, D. D. heart is indeed to be pitied. He is on the way toward destroying the mainspring of his life. When faith, hope and love go out of a life, there is little else which matters. What would there be to life if there were no one to love except self, nothing to which to look for ward, no one to be trusted? Those of you who may be hav ing some trouble at home, and who think that it would all be ended if you could just walk out on it, pause and think hard. It might not be so nice afterwards. The other day I was going home with several packages in my hands. I was met by an unmarried friend, who said, "When you go home is the time you know that you are married; when your wife asks if you brought the bread, the thread, the boy's shoes. Then after supper, only to be reminded that the ashes must be taken out and the door bell fixed yes, you know you are married." When I go home, I can sit down at once in complete re laxation." Then before I could frame a suit able reply, he continued thought fully, "But going home and having no one to disturb me after a while becomes monotonous. Sometimes 1 wish that there were someone that cared whether I came home or not." Life without love is empty. Hate kills love; Remember the Scrip ture, "Be ye angry and sin not; let not the sun go down on your wrath." (Ehe (Soldett (Eexl Jesus appoints the twelve. "Thou lhalt love thy neighbor as thyself. "-Mark 12:31. Learning to Live Together HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for May 12 Is Matthew 18 15-22; Mark 3 13 14 10:35-45, Luke 22 24-30 the Memory Verse being Mark 12 31 "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself ") "LEARNING TO live together" fs what we all must do if we would do our most useful as well as best work in the world Those who can never adjust themselves to other people are unhappy mis fits In our work in society In school, on the playground, the person who can get along with others is happiest and most suc cessful It is one of the most im portant lessons that even tiny children must learn It was particularly important to Jesus and His apostles, who lived together shared everything with one another If there was discord in this small group, the work of teaching preaching heal ing could not be carried on. The church would die The first lesson today concerns forgiveness. "If thy brother shall trespass against thee," said Jesus, "go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone- if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother." That is a lovely phrase, "gained thy brother." His offense may have separated you two, and if you can persuade him to admit his error, you have gotten him back. You are friends comrades again. If he will not listen, however, Jesus advised that you take two or three friends for witnesses, and if he won't listen to them, take the matter to the church It may be argued that there was no church in those days, but Jesus was undoubtedly speaking of the church which would be built. The church sets up moral standards, and if through its influence it can restore this man to his commun ity, that is its work. Teter Asks About Forgiveness Then Peter, the curious one, asked Jesus how many times he should forgive his brother who had sinned "seven times seven?" asked Peter, doubtless thinking he was going pretty far In forgive Distributed by Kln( Feature!

The first dis.ien.sion in tins group came through James and John, sons of Zebedee Their moth er was Salome who is thought by some to have been Jesus mothers sister The two brothers came to Jesus and asked Him if. when He was in glory one of them could sit on one side of Him and the other on the other side Jesus asked them a question in His turn "Ye know not what ye ask ' He said "Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of and be baptized vvi;h the baptism that I am baptized with?" They said they could, seemingly not realiz ing whereof He spoke His cup was one of bitterness pain and shame He would die a dreadful death, but this was a thing that He could not make His apostles see. although He spoke of it often to them in the closing days of His life on earth Jesus said to them, "Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of: and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: But to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give: but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared " When the other ten apostles heard of this request of the broth ers they, naturally, were angry. "But Jesus called them to Him, and saith unto them. Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and then great ones exercise authority over them. "But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you. shall be your minis ter: '.'And whosoever of you will be the chiefeft. shall be servant of all. "For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many ". This, then, is the keynote of this lesson Think not of your selves, but of others, and do to them as you would they would do to you "Love thy neighbor as thy self," is our Memory Verse for today.
