ty, but God declares that it is
no joke to Him. He says:
"Fools make a mock at sin”
(Prov. 14:9), for, not only does
sin in its very nature break
down, rather than build up, but
as responsible creatures sin
ners will one day have to give
an account of their conduct to
the God who created them.
To look at the brighter side,
we may all rejoice in another
indication that sin is no joke io
God. St. Paul points it out in
I Cor. 15:3, where he says:
"Christ died for our sins.'”
Christ knew the horrible results
of sin and the dreadful penalty
which justice must visit upon it.
Yes, and He also knew that*‘all
have sinned and come short of
the glory of God”-(Rom. 3;23)
and in infinite love He left the
glories of heaven and stooped to
bear the disgrace and penalty
for sin Himself! ‘‘Christ ...
hath once suffered for sins, the
Just for the unjust, that He
might bring us to God” (I Pet.
3;18) and those who come to
know God through faith in Christ
experience peace and joy which
this world can never afford.

WARM RECEPTION
CAMP SPRINGS, Md. - The
pastorate of the Rev. Harold
G. Johnson Sr., at Bell’s
Methodist church, got off to a
good start last week, when the
Negro minister was warmly
received by the white congre
gation. Many members of the
church, following his sermon,
stopped to shake his hand.
EAST ST. LOUIS, MO. - The
leaders of the Missouri Confer
ence, AME Zion Church, took
stock of the struggle of the
Negro to gain full citizenship
rights and issued a statement
at the closing session of the
annual conference, held at St.
Joiin AME Ziori Church, June
7-12.
Bishop \v. A. Hilliard pre
sided over the meet and prais
ed the committee for its stand.
The committee took a look at the
economic, political, social and
religious life of the nation. It
was mindful of the progress
being made toward full employ
ment. It also pointed out that
in the midst of seeming pros
perity there was still the Watts,
the Harlem and the Miss, spots
that prove that there was gross
imbalance. The report was
hopeful that the nation, through
President Johnson's War-on-
Poverty and a well formulated
plan through church and civic
committees, could present a
program that would properly
implement the movement.
The committee was also
mindful of the responsibility,
on the part of the Negro, to
merit full citizenship. It point
ed out that Negroes have not
fully appreciated and impact of
the Voter Rights Law. It warn
ed that there is too much apathy
among Negroes toward voting.
It pointed to the fact that not
only in Mississippi and other
southern communities had the
Negro not taken full opportunity,
bul in states where there has
been no trouble in registering
and voting there had not been
the kind of interest exhibited
that tended to show that the Ne
gro was concerned enough to
turn out in large numbers at
the polls.
MEDITATION
A SERMONETTE
BY COLIN DOUGLAS
"Jehovah will be thy con
fidence.” —Prov. 3;26.
No one of us should ever
feel that he is a failure. It
may be that we have not meas
ured up to the standards or
goals we previously set for
ourselves or accomplished what
we have seen someone else ac
complish. But most certainly
we have gained knowledge and
spiritual stamina through our
efforts and through our experi
ences. We have not failed!
No one achieves his heart’s
desire in one stride. But every
step u’e take toward the a
chievement of our goal adds to
our knowledge and understand
ing -- and therefore, every
step is vitally important. It
is the unfolding of and the us
ing of our God-given talents
that give you the conficence
that makes life a wonderful
adventure.
Whenever you feel discour
aged or inept in comparison
with someone else, remember
that God has equipped you with
the material out of which to
create a life that will be sat
isfying and fulfilling to you.
You must remember that your
life need not be like anyone
else’s life, for your part in
God’s great plan is not like
anyone else’s part.
Remembgr that, through
prayer, you can discover your
own powers and your own place
in the world. If you are fac
ed with some situation that
seems hopeless or impossible
of solution, remember that Je
sus told us, "...with God all
things are possible.” Dare to
believe that "in some way or
other the Lord will provide,”
and courage and faith will fill
your heart. It does not matter
what other people tell you, it
does not matter what the ex
periences of others have been,
no situation is hopeless or be
yond God’s help. Take your
needs and desires to the Lord
in prayer.
"Ask, and it shall given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock,
and it will be opened unte ■.m:,"
—Matt. 7:7.
