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

to observe the law. 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

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.

To Meet In

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,

The Rev. W. E. Cook, host

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).

The Church is God's appointed agency in this world for spreading the knowledge of His love ,q#N TTftv ||
for man and of His demand for man to respond to that love by loving his neighbor. Without
this grounding in the love of God, no government or society or way of life will long O;
