Religion U the tie that binds us to God., Religion is life. Relig ion is a matter of the heart, the will, the desires and the attitudes. Religion means to find God, to obey His will and to trust in Him. Re ligion gives meaning to life. Religion gives us answers to the questions each one of us should be concerned - about. Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? What am I expected to do? And whither am, I going. Each one of us should answer these questions If we are to have a satisfactory philosophy of life. Some one has summed up relig ion in these words: , "In the home it's kindness. In business it is honest. In society it is courtesy. In work it is thorough ness. In play it is fairness. Toward the fortunate it is congratulations. 'Toward the, unfortunate it is com passion. ; Toward the weak it is GEO. P.

The Christian Line Lessen for Sept 20, 1953 ITVERYBODY knows the phrase, "party line,", meaning a kind of ideas, arguments, plans and policies which are approved by a central authority. We hear the phrase most often, in Communist connections; but there are also such things as the Republican line, or the Democratic line, and many others. Is there such a thing as the Christian line? In particu lar, is there a Christian, line of behavior, a Christian way of life which is distinct, an ideal for all Christians everywhere? Or is Christian living a more or less do-as-you-please affair? Christianity Is Respectable The letter to Titus in the New Testament . comes right to this -point. Titus was a fairly' young mis sionary in a very tough area, the is land of Crete. Titus may have wished he were In an easier field. "Liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttdhs" that was the repu tation of Cretans. Even When such Dr. Foreman people become Christians there is a lot they have to learn: They do not become complete saints over night (Did you?) Paul, writing to his young former assistant Titus, advises him, as an advisor of new Christians, what line to take In teaching and preaching to these unpromising Cretan converts. Through Titus the Apostle speaks to parents, ministers, Sunday school teachers, of today. The first thing the modern reader notices is that, the Christian line sounds "respectable," like advice from Polonius or Lord Chester field. Old men should be temper ate, Athodox; old women ought not to gbsSip; j oun women should love their husbands and children; young men must exercise self control; employees (slaves, in Titus' parish) must be honest and give satisfaction to their employ ers. Citizens must be law-abiding Everybody should have a- deceit, job and save his money for spe cial needs. Really, the reader may ask, what Is so special about all this? Is the: Christian line just to be a "decent citizen?" Well, of course that is a part of it. Chris tianity is certainly not DlSrespect rbilityl . Propriety Without Pride So the -Christian line doe's not go off in some other direction than respectability; but it is by no means the Same thing. There are two vital points in which the Chris tian's way of life ia' distinctly unique. One Is the Christian's at titude to his own respectable con duct. He must never do good in order to show off, neither to man nor to God. He must never be good or do good simply in order to get good n return. He must nev-' er think of his own gooddeeds ai a kind of coin by which he pays his way into heaven.; Years be fore "Titus" , was written, when Jesus was telling his .disciples that they must live, above the level of, the Pharisees, this demand must have surprised and. puzzled his listeners. How could anybody bn earth be more respectable than a Pharisee? Well, nobody could. What JesuB was pleading for was (in part) just the difference in at titude toward one's own goodness. The Pharisee was proud of being good; he thought God owed him something. He wanted merit badges; Jesus called for humility. The Christian's goodness is a re sponse to God, .not a demand on God. It is an expression of what we owe to God. " v Mercy and Renewal , This brings us to the other point at which the Christian line is on a different plane from ordinary respectability. It Is the effect oi a new birth inside. There Is great difference: between lifting our selves by our own efforts and be ing lifted by the Holy Spirit, be tween goodness home-made and heaven-made. Being respectable enough lor a good name in society is some distance short of grow ing Into the likeness of Christ There is an immense gap. between respectability like a topcoat, and the goodness which is in the blood, beating through a changed heart There Is a "clear difference be tween the respectability of a man who -looks no further ahead than his own obituary, " and the deep reaching spiritual renewal of the man who lives as an "heir In hope of eternal life." .

HERMAN TRUEBLOOD Text: "But a certain Samaritan when he saw him, he had com passion on him." Luke 10:33. The story of The Jericho Road revealing passages in the Scriptures. Here we have the challenge of the soul toward the lost and suffering world. This parable presents to us the very essence and core into the soul, sifting, testing, and points out the difference between the shallow, hollow, formal profes sional religionistand the sincere, warm-hearted, servant of God. This parable of events on The Jericho Road, is a parable that fits into the life of all people, at all places, and at all times, for all of us are travelers on THE ROAD OF LIFE, and on that road there are "thelves bent upon stripping us, wounding us, and leaving us half dead." But thank God, there are also some Good Samaritans journeying along Life's Highway, ever ready with "compassion in their hearts, binding up wounds, and pouring healing oil into bruised lives and broken hearts." We notice in this parable: 1. THREE MASTER PASSIONS OF MANKIND. First there was the selfish, unholy greed for gain, as seen in the thelves who beat up, "stripped, and. wounded, the -'Certain Man," on the Jericho road. Second, there was the cold-blooded indifference, and desire for one's own comfort and pleasure, exhibited in the actions 'of the priest and Levite. Third, there was the noble, compassionate desire to render assistance' to a poor .wounded, helpless human being on the road-side, as shown by the Good Samaritan. 2. THREE MAJOR CONCEPTIONS OF PEOPLE. First, there are those whose motto is: "The world owes me a living;" there conception of life is that of a hungry ferocious beast, seeking whom he may devour. This type of person is seen in the action of "the thelves," in this story, who looked upon the poor defenseless man as their "prey." Second, the priest and Levite regarded the wounded man on the road-side as worthless "trash," an annoyance, like so much human garbage to be rid of. Third, we see in the Good Samaritan, the Christian attitude, which looked upon the beaten, wounded traveler, as a brother in need. 3. THREE MAIN TYPES OF RELIGION. First, as exemplified by the priest, religion was no more than a "professional" matter. Certain "cut and dried" things were to be done; other things were to be tabooed. No special feeling of compassion was needed; it was not within the pro fessional routine of the priest tp give aid to the stricken traveler. Second, the Levite represented the "theoretical" type of religionist. He was willing to learn of the suffering man's need, but his theory about the matter prevented him from offering help. Third, the Good Samaritan exhibited "practical" religion in giving, definite, quick aid. 4. THREE IDEAS ABOUT PROPERTY AND STEWARDSHIP. First, the idea of the bandit "What's yours is mine, if I can take it away from you!" Second, the idea of the priest and LeVite "What's mint is mine, and I don't have to give it to any unfortunate human being." Third. The benevolent idea of the Samaritan "What's mine is not mine at all, but a loan from God to be used as a good steward of His, for His glory, and man's uplift." ft I CALYPSO Pastor 2nd and 4th Sundays MAGNOLIA BAPTIST CHURCH Rev.
