God Is the Axel
To Wheel of Life
ByW. R. CALLAWAY
Have you really decided in
your mind and heart to trust
the Lord Jesus Christ and live
for Him? This is the one
decision around which all
other right decisions are
made. This decision is the
axle to the wheel of life. I’ll
live for Him who died for me
my savior and my God. When
you are right with God you
are right with your fellow
man.
We now do not fashion our
lives by our own standard or
by the standard of other
human beings but by the
standard laid down by God in
Christ. The death,
resurrection, ascension and
intercession of Christ as well
as by his life and teachings we
believe, trust and follow in
our daily lives.
I pray that this may be your
determination and your
definite decision which means
eternal life.
“I’ll Live For Him!” (song)
My life my love I give to thee,
Thou Lamb of God, who
died for me;

What to Look for in Church
Some people shop for a
church the way they would for
a used car but in a recent
sermon the Rev. Glendon E.
Harris said it is a mistake to
do so. He said he had experi
ence in choosing both used
cars and a church home.
“The reason it is unwise,”
he said in his sermon at the
Anaheim (Calif.) United
Methodist Church, “is that the
style may be satisfying but
the performance may leave
something to be desired.”
He gave some guidelines to
the congregation and his re
marks were particularly fit
ting since the Anaheim
church is new, born of the
merger of two neighboring
congregations and worshiping
in their new sanctuary.
Rev. Harris, who said he
was the veteran of selecting
good used cars from among
the “cream puffs,” “toma
toes,” and “pig pens,” as
dealers call the machines on
their lots, said the church has
also fallen into three cate
gories to choose from. These,
he said are liturgical, emo
tional, and intellectual, and
each has its strength and pos
sible weaknesses.
Liturgical churches feature
impressive worship services,
“formal, solemn, and beauti
ful.” The second type is the
emotional church which en
lists “strong congregational
participation,” with stirring
sermons which evoke more
than an occasional “Amen,”

1 ime of Crisis
In a time of national crisis
we have the opportunity to
■draw closer together through
common sacrifices. How we
meet these challenges will
say a lot about how much
vitality our nation has
retained. I suppose there will
always be those who will try
to profit from such times, and
indeed it is disheartening to
hear that there are those who
are taking advantage of our
shortages to make greater
profits through suddenly
increased prices and devious
practices. When one hears of
oil companies exporting oil
only to import the same oil
back into the country in order
to dodge taxes etc., it makes
one angry and unfortunately
in some quarters, vengeful.
But our vitality and
resourcefulness will save the
day, not our attempts to get
even with those who hurt us.
During World War II much
was said about American
ingenuity. I sometimes
wonder if this wasn’t the
result of having been in the
lean years of the depression
and being forced to make do
with things and find ways of
making one’s resources go
further and serve more
purposes. This makes me
think of David and Goliath.
David was given the armor
and weapons of the soldier for
his conflict with Goliath but
he found them cumbersome
and limited. Rather, he chose
to use something simpler and
more familiar to him—his
sling and some smooth stones.
His simple, homemade
weapons served him well and
cost him nothing. But David’s

or “That’s preaching,
brother!”
“Intellectual churches are
more formalized, generally
dominated by studious
preaching and a high quality
of music, and a worshiper
may leave the service with
plenty to think about the fol
lowing week,” he said.
“It is easily possible to find
one of any of these types in
any major hamlet. Many
choose churches as they
choose cars, but if you choose
by style alone, you are more
than likely to choose wrong.
“And James and John, the

grant unto us that we may sit,
one on thy right hand and the
other on they left hand, in
thy glory.” Mark 10:35-37.

met at the Pleasant Grove
Baptist Church Monday night
for the November meeting
with Mrs. Edna Hood
presiding.
Opening with group singing
and the call to prayer was
given by Mrs. Winfred
Waldrip and Mrs. Harold
Hayes.
The secretary, Mrs. Ralph
Cox, read the minutes of
previous meeting which was
approved after which a
business session was held and
plans were made at this time
for the week of prayer and
meeting places were an
nounced.
The program “Women’s
Work in Chile” was given by
chairman, Mrs. Hermon
Hemphill. She was assisted by
Mrs. Wilma Wood, Mrs. E. C.
Waldrip, Mrs. Jim Bennett,
Mrs. Ralph Cox and Mrs. Ray
Hemphill.
At the social hour refresh
ments were served by
hostess, Mrs. Edna Hood,
Mrs. Ray Hemphill and Mrs.
Hermon Hemphill to the ten
members present.
“Fortunately, it is not
necessary to choose in that
way, for religion is not like a

seeks to bring basic under

universe, possesses some
thing of all three, but perhaps
more, too.
“There are four principles
any church should possess
and teach. The first of these is
the basic principle of free
dom, the most important
tenet of religion.

what most people want today.
The sinner wants heaven
without repentance and the
Christian wants a crown
without a cross. We need to
realize that salvation is a gift
of God’s grace, Titus 2:5,
Eph. 2:8, and crowns are
rewards to a born again
Christian for good works. I
Cor. 3:11-17. There is a crown
only for Christians who beat
the cross. First, there is the
crown of life, Rev. 2:10, for
the cross of the slain (Mar
tyr), second, there is the
crown of glory, I Pet. 5:24, for
the cross of servitude.
Thirdly, there is the crown of
joy, Phil. 4:1, for the cross of
soul winning. Fourthly, there
is the crown of incorruption, I
Cor. 9:25, for the cross of
subjection. Fifthly, there is
the crown of righteousness for
the cross of suffering, II Tim.
4:3. “Must I be carried to the
skies on flowry beds of ease,
while others fought to win the
prize, and sailed the bloody
seas?” “No, there’s a cross
for every one, and there’s a
cross for me.”

ploy creeds, but creeds are
guidelines, not enforced
dogmas. They are human
products, presenting the best
understanding when they
were written, but not immune
to change. The church should
honor the principle and not
bind its members.
“The second principle is re
sponsibility, the other side of
the coin of freedom. It should
encourage responsible deci
sion and ethical action, and if
it loses sight of these, it will
result in hypocrisy.”
When Susan got her new home,

Will it be there for you?

“The greatest fight for re

is inside that forty-eight

This is unreasonable and a

“Finally,” he said, “toler
ance, an appreciation of the
belief of others, must be
taught by a worthy church. A
faith without tolerance is no
faith at all.”
He concluded his sermon
with this observation, “These
are the corners of the house of
faith. They are the teachings
of Jesus, and I think that you
will like that kind of a
church.”
