BY CORNELIUS R. SIAM RRtS. / BKRiAN BIBLE SOCIETY :. f CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60635 f A FAITHFUL SAVING "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that MEDITATION A SERMONETTE BY COLIN DOUGLAS "I therefore . . . beseech you to walk worthily of the calling . . . forbearing one another in love; giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Eph, 4:1, 2, 3. One of the surest ways to promote your own happiness is to work with the thought of mak ing othershappy, to practice be holding them as children of God. You can help to create harmony at home, in an organization, or in a place of business by seeing only the good in others and working always with good will. Another person may seem harsh or thoughtless or unjust, but in reality he is as you are, a divine child of the divine Father. If you will see through the seeming faults to the per fection with in him, you will help to bring him to a realiza tion of his divine nature. The love you hold for others will bring untold blessings to you. If you are inclined to feel bitter toward anyone, reverse your attitude. Do not wait for the other person to change, but change \our own thought. You will bring more good to both, for that is the law of God. You cannot bless another person without being blessed yourself. Giving of our love and friend ship to those about us is a de termining factor in experienc ing deep satisfaction, happi ness and joy. Giving of our love and understanding to oth ers widens the circle of our friends, which in return bright ens our life and adds spiritual grace and beauty to it. "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one anoth er; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another, By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples.” John 18:34,35.

Os all Paul’s "faithful say ings,” this is perhaps the most wonderful and the one through which most people have found the joy of sins forgiven. The subject is that "'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” Why else would Christ have had to leave His glory in heaven if it were not, as the Bible says, to come to the earth in human form to rep resent us in the payment for sin? And, thank God, He paid the full price of the sin of all men, for this was not a mere man who died on Cavalry’s cross. So complete was His payment that Paul could ex claim; "He came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.’’ Paul, himself, though once Christ’s chief enemy on earth, had now been saved by Him arid had come to know the joy of sins forgiven. The great trouble is that so many people do not feel their condition to be hopeless apart from Christ. They have not yet seen how far they come short of the glory and holiness of God. They know that they are sin ners, but they do not yet feel that their condition is so hope less that they need a Savior. Thus they keep trying, trying, trying and failing, failing, failing! How much wiser we are to confess our sins before God - - to take the place of sinners, so that He can save us. This is the first step to heaven. When we have done this we are in a position to accept God’s offer of full pardon and justification through Christ, who died to pay the penalty for our sins. Since none are perfect and all have sinned, "This is,” Indeed, "a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” Why not believe God’s Word, accept Christ as your Savior and be saved today. RtllGlOH I Aid | RACC | Bv Negro Press International PAPAL LAMENT VATICAN CITY - Racism and interracial violence which "as sume almost the proportions of genocide” were lamented by Poire Paul VI last week, in a message distributed to bishops, priests and the religious in Africa. "Racial discrimina tion,” said the Pope, "impedes the full development in the new African states. The peaceful development and stability of in st it ut ions are prerequisites for progress in the new African states today.” CHANGES MIND ST. LOUIS - The Rt. Rev. George L. Cadigan, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Mis souri, has changed his mind, "for the present” about having two clergymen resign from the church because of their involve ment in civil rights demonstra tions. The reversal resulted from discussions betw-een the bishop and the Revs. Walter W. White, Jr., and William Math eus, rector and curate respec tively of the predominantly Ne gro member St. Stephen's church. SPLIT THINKING WEST ALLIS, Wis. - Further evidences of the split in think ing of Catholic officials in the Milwaukee area came last week when a curate of St. Rita's Catholic church, warned offi cials of Milwaukee and its 17 suburbs not to be "pressured” into enacting "enforced” open occupancy ordinances. The Rev. Lawrence S. Brey charged that "such ordinances violate moral values, human rights and property rights ... and a vote for an open housing ordinance and would be a shameful sur render to (Fr.)Groppi and com pany.” ZONING FIGHT CHICAGO - Although the South Shore ministerial asso ciation has declined to inter vene one way or the other, ministers in the neighborhood have registered objections to the proposed location of the Negro Metropolitan Church of God in quarters formerly used by a funeral home. The ob jections are said to be becanuse of the already large number of churches in the area, but the Rev. Leroy Hickman, pas tor of Metropolitan, charges his church is being kept out "for racial reasons. They don’t want a Negro church in South Shore.” ©o To Cl«rcfc So* tfef An investment in Your Future ft Vfl" M 1:1 I 1 \l If &P M ui n 1 ILIC H Lit y lif • - •" ■■ ! ■ ; t Il f \ II m I I \ I 8i "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and car- || if ' % 4 our sorrou)S: y ei we did esteem him :•:§ stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted!* •ifllr I "But he was wounded for our transgres - J p sions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the jg I H chastisement of our peace was upon him; a|H '" ! and with his stripes we are healed." || iX'V; | ' ' I p "All we like sheep have gone astrayt we || •‘•l||!j> .I j §§ have turned every one to his own way; and ifg I i*' ~"W j || the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of | ;.;a' ,*: .
