ARE YOU PLAL'.TG TO BUILD? SEE US FOR YOMEDS III hi', -JJMtiJflmmU KINSTON1 1 J Bible Comment: Jesus Was an Able Organizer of His Early Churchmen TyTANY of us see Jesus as a quir .'" teacher in the fields Ulli'r.; His parables and teaching His mo: ( profound thoughts in a way th: was based on casual contacts arn! incidents. Actually. Jesus was Just the op posite. He was a very efflcien1 organizer. He instructed am) trained His disciples according to a definite plan and sent them out among the people to be "fishers of men." In a way. His group might be compared to a modern sales force with a product to sell to the people. His disciples were selling s new gospel to the people and Jesur gave them the incentive and train ing to be, able to do It He sent the Twelve "on thy. road" where they were so success ful that He sent 70 more. Part of their mission was to act as "ad vance agents" or, in a mod err. sense, publicity men. They pre pared the people for the coming visits ot the Master. ' The world could use some more ot that simple, early Christian evangelism today. It is best ac complished by ordinary people telling of the Christ they have found, and telling the story in plain words full of sincere enthu siasm. One of the greatest emulators of this method of evangelism was John Wesley, the founder of Meth odism. He was a traveling preach er and , went wherever people would listen to him. He declared the world was his parish. So scute was his sense sf organization that he was as able an organizer as he was a scholar and preacher. Using the plans laid down by Jesus, he recruited and trained lay preachers, established classes, and urged small groups to meet reg ularly for testimony and counsel, rhese groups were led by the more aggressive -and competent of bis (olldwers. , r ; Wesley's adaptation of Christ's methods might well stand as a suc cessful model for others to follow, rhe world needs a revival Of the means by which the gospel and the church achieved their greatest triumphs.,?'. ,. . ... ......

DEVOTIONAL READING: Janmlah 13.3-6, 18-18. a . Hypocrites , Lesson for March X, 1953 mUYPOCRITE" is a bad word. t Vou should be careful about calling people hypocrites, because perhaps you do not quite mean it A hypocrite is not the same thing as a weak Christian, or a stum bling Christian, or a half-developed Christian, a 50 per cent Christian. These are pretty common; the regular simon-pure hypocrite is a rarer. birdi A hypocrite is a person who is knowingly and intentionally bad, and has no intention of being anything else; but he puts on a mask or disguise of goodness. It is only a front, he does not mean a bit of it He is Just a devil play ing angel. Such persons may be somewhat rare, but they do exist. They are to be found In the church, they are high up in the state. No walk of life is altogether free from them. They Will Not Lift A Finger Almost the entire 23rd chapter of Matthew is devoted to Jesus' slashing attack on the hypocrites he knew. The modern reader will be struck by cer tain family re- emb lances be tween hypocrites of all eras. Jesus, be it noted, was talking about the religious "ex perts" ot. his time, the men who correspond to today's bis: citv preachers, pro- . Dr. Foreman fessors of theology, Bible teachers and so on. He did not mean to say that they were all hypocrites but definitely some ot them, were. One mark of the hypocrite is that he preaches but does not practice. As Jesus puts It, he lays heavy burdens on other men but he will not lift a finger to help carry such a load 'himself. Common modern examplea ot this kind of person include the politician who yells dis tractedly about dishonesty in the other party but hush-hushes all the irregularities in his own; the busi ness man who demands to know tvhy we can't have honesty in gov ernment while all the time he and his firm are carrying on crooked deals; the young man who de mands that his sweetheart must be true to him while he carries on with one girl after another. Insist ing that others live up to a stand ard we will not accept ourselves, is what Jesus called hypocrisy. They Want To Face The Cameras A cartoon shows a football team In a huddle. The captain is saying: "Let's try a run around the other end. Never mind if you're not facing the television cameras!" Any one who can remember see ing the great political conventions of last summer on television wil' recall how time after time the roll call would be slowed down by some one demanding a poll of the delegation. Shrewd observers re marked that in numbers of case: there was no feal doubt about the accuracy of the vote; there was ho good Reason except that for a few brief moments the man who asked for the re-count would have the cameras trained on him. This play ing for the grand-stand, scene stealing, all that sort of thing, is part of what our Lord calls being a hypocrite. In fact the very word "hypocrite" in Greek means an actor. This world is full of actors and they are not all on the stage Even in the pulpit we can sometimes sec men who think more of what the Monday papers will say about their sermons than of what God will say. A good reputation is a good thing to have; it is not to be despised. Frosting and Gravy Furthermore, hypocrites are ex cessively fond of all the outward signs and benefits of being (or be ing thought to be) "big shots," Every once in a while the news papers tell of some man who has pretended to be some European count or other titled gentleman. Imitating the manners ot the aristocrat, ne lives on quite a number of gullible people Before the police catch up with him. Xut the true aristocrat is a respon sible person; he carries many re sponsibilities. Titles and so on art incidental. But the bogus aristocrs is irresponsible; afi he cares abpu. is glamor. Now you can't make t poor cake good by giving it thick coat of frosting; you can't make n tough steak tender by slathering it with gravy. It takes more that frosting and gravy to make a gooc meal. But the hypocrite, in the church or out, cares more for life' cover-up than for what is under neath. .' . . , (Bticd on outlines copyrighted r thr Division of ChrHttan Education.

C. Herman Trueblood Text: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Ps. 199: 105. Road maps are Indispensable to travelers; they supply information as to places, distances, nature of roads, as wall as hints and timely suggestions for safe driving. Also, a good road map aids-the morist in estimating his lnvlrenment, ap proximating time needed to reach his destination, and ascertaining traveling expenses. However, there is another Road Map THE (BIBiLE, which is our most important traveler's guide. God's Holy Word tels how to "iPlay Safe," avoid perilous de tours, and keep on the Heavenly Highway that leads to "The land that is fairer than day." The wise! traveler going on a long journey will equip himself with a reliable road map; and every person con cerned about how, and where, he will spend eternity will "Search the Scriptures" for proper guid ance. In traveling there ars a num ber of things that challenge our attention: 1. THE DISTANCE. In our mad rush to get somewhere are we sure about where we arel going? Do we realize how far we have already gone down the road of life? What is the) distance between our starting point and the destin ation in view? Have we mistaken our Road Markers and become unconsciously lost on the wrong road? Have we gond. a long dis tance away from home, from the church, from God, from all the teachings of Holy writ lnterperted to us by Godly men and women? If so, why not turn back to The World's Best Road Map, God's Holy Word? 2. THE WAY. The way of life may be rugged, up-hill pulling, MAGNOLIA BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. J. D.

Whatever the way good or bad, the really smart per son is he who consults, and relies upon Tha Supreme Road Map, the (Bible, for correct guidance for "There Is a way that SEEMETH right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Prov. 14:12. 3. THE COMPANIONS. With whom are we traveling, or who Is traveling with us? Hardly any of us travel alone that is, each of us is being influenced by others, and we are also exerting influence? upon others. Do we like to 'be with, and work with God's people; or, are we "mort( at home" hob nobbing around with the wicked? "Elvll communications corrupt good maners." (1 Cor.l5:33), while "All that bdlieved were TOGETH ER and continued steadfastly in the) apsstles' doctrines and in fell owship." Acts 2:42-44. 4. THE TIME. "But this I say, brethren, the time is short." 1 Cor 7:29. "Time is the sluff out of wi ch life is made!" Tis a crime to waste time and flitter it away on "passfads" that do us no good, help no body, and honors not God. Said the Psalmist about the brevity of life: "In the morning it flourishes Psalmist about the) brevity of life: "In the morning it flourished and and groweth up! In the evening it is cut down and withereth." Ps. 90 6. Life is just a little span between two grejat eternities.
