'/i / * / CAN THE LAW SAVE? This writer does not wear clerical garb, but somehow when he visits a church away from home, someone is apt to step up to him and ask: “Are you by any chance a minister?" Acts 13 tells how this once happened to Paul and Barna bas. They had entered a syna gogue as strangers and simply sat down to listen. After “the reading of the law and the prophets," however, the lead ers of the service sent some one to ask them: “If ye men and brethren have some word of exhortation for the people, say on" (Ver. 14,:5). Some how Paul and Barnabas had been recognized as men of God. The custom at that time was to read a passage from the law and then some passage in which the prophets urged the people Church Chuckles by CARTWRIGHT CUIMM _ '*■**' €>o4 AS.

This was followed by an exhortation by one or more of the religious leaders present. Well, Paul did have a word of exhortation for the people, but it would be somewhat of a surprise. Getting to the point of his message, he preached to them Christ and the re surrection and closed his talk with the words: “Be it known unto you, therefore, men and brethren, that by this Man is preached unto you the forgive ness of sins; and by Him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses" (Vers. 38, 39). This was the gist of his “ex hortation": Don’t trust in the law for salvation -- trust in Christ, who died for your sins. This makes sense and it agrees Bishop S. G. Spotswood Speaks In N. C ELIZA BF TH CITY - Bishop S. G. Spottswood, who super vises the work of the AME Zion Church of the third epis copal district, made two ap pearance - in this area Sunday.

MEDITATION A SERMONETTE BY COLIN DOUGLAS “For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith." -I John 5:4. It is only human sometimes to permit thoughts of sadness, depression, or anxiety to enter the mind. In times like these, one of the best antidotes is to sit down with your Bible, turn to the concordance, and look up references to “Faith." Read eacli one of these pass ages slowly and with thought. Then read them again with posi tive emphasis. Read them aloud to yourself, if possible. Then write down those pass ages that mean the most to you. Put them together if you like, into one powerful pray ei or affirmation of faith. Make a practice of reading them ov er and over again, when ever you feel somewhat “down in the dumps." A'oil’ll be surprised how this will lift you up and inspire you with renewed faith, courage, and strength. Read the eleventh chapter of the Book of Hebrews, beginning with its onderful definition of faith. List the pronouncements o Je sus that have to do with faith. In the silence and comfort of prayer, hear him say, Thy faith hath made thee whole." You will find, through repe titive prayer and quoting of these Biblical faith passages, ’■ through this establishment of communion with God, your per iods of sadness, depression, and fear will dissipate. These nega tive periods will in fact be come less frequent as time goes on. Through close prayer with God, you can always find in the deep, spiritual quietness of your soul the strength and wisdom needed to meet any situation that may arise. We need faith in God if we would overcome our difficulties, but of all re quirements for such faith, first and foremost is the need of a quiet mind. "I will not leave you deso late; I come unto uou.” -- John 14:18. Baptist Group To Meet In Philadelphia DALLAS (NPI) - The mid winter session oi the Board of the National Baptist Conven tion of America will be held March 1-21 in Philadelphia. The board will meet at Enon Baptist church, according to the Rev. Robert H. Wilson, NBC corresponding secretary. Dr. C. D. PeUaway oi Little Rock, Ark., NBC president, announc ed the board meeting. The Rev. W. E. Cook, host pastor, is corresponding secre tary of the convention’s Home Mission Board. The National Baptist Conven tion of America is not affiliat ed with the National Baptist Convention, U. S. A., Inc., head ed by Dr. J. H. Jackson of Chicago. with the Bible as a whole. “By the law is the knowledge of sin" (Rom. 3:20); “it was added be cause of transgressions" (Gal. 3;19); “for as many as are of the works of the law are un der a curse;; (Gal. 3:10); but “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us" (Gal. 3:13). “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith, without the deeds of the law" (Rom. 3:23). It should be obvious that the law' can only condemn sinners, but it is also a fact that Christ died for sinners, to save them from the condemnation of the law. “Therefore being justified by faith we have peace wdth God, through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Rom.- 5:1).
