SPENCER B. KING, Pastor
In spite of rain we had a good day
last Sunday. Sunday School was
off—(if people just knew how much
they are missed when they are not
present they would be more regular
in their attendance) but for both
the morning and the evening hours
there was a good attendance. We
have fifty-one more Sundays in the
year; let us make the most of each
one as it comes.
Sunday School at 9:45, the lesson:
“The Baptism and Temptation of
Jesus.” Morning Sermon: “Spiritual
Good Health;” B. Y. P. U. at 6:00,
with a group for every age; Evening
Sermon, 7:00, “The Development of
a Sin” —the story of Cain and Abel.
Wednesday evening at 7:00 the mid
week Prayer Service will be held and
we are continuing the study of the
Book of Romans, the theme for this
service being “Justification By
Faith,” and we should read Romans
3:21 through 5:11.
The Woman’s Missionary Society
meets in Circles next Monday at
3:00, the Cordelia Brown Circle with
Mrs. I. H. Hunter, the Catherine
Bryan Circle with Mrs. C. E. Boy

Mrs. Claud Howell, the Pearl Todd
Circle with Mrs. C. H. Loback; the
Y. W. A. meets with Miss Rosalind
Deal; the Intermediate G. A. with
; the Junior G. A.
with their new leader, Miss Willa
Beasley; the R. A. with their new
leader, Mrs. Alto Warrick; the Sun
beams at the church.
Our hearts have been saddened
these recent days by reason of the
serious illness of several of our
members and friends and by the
death of two of our good men. Dr.
F. P. Davis will be greatly missed
from among us, for, until ill health
prevented he was often in our choir
where his fine bass voice and cheer
ful presence meant so much to our
services. Mr. Duncan Hall, who for
more than three years has been an
active Deacon in our church, leaves
a vacancy which will not be filled in
our official family for a long time.
To the sorrowing loved ones of these
brethren we offer our deepest sym
pathies and most earnest prayers
that our Heavenly Father will of His
rich grace and tender love give them
comfort and consolation for these
dark hours. A bit of a poem we
read a while ago comes to us here,
and we feel that it is quite appro
priate :
“When men go down to the sea by
ship
It is not to the SEA they go;
Some Isle or pole is the mariner’s
goal,
And thither they sail through calm
or gale
When down to the sea they go!
“When souls go down to the sea by
ship,
And the ship’s dark name is Death,
Why moan and wail at the vanish
ing sail?
Though outward bound, God’s world
is round,
And only a ship is death!
“When I go down to the sea by ship,
And Death unfurls her sail,
Weep not for me for there will be
A living host on another Coast
To beckon and cry, ‘All hail’!”

BAPTISM AND TEMPTATION
OF JESUS
Golden Text: Hebrews 2:17
By REV. CHAS E. DUNN
The baptism and temptation were
critical periods of decision for the
Master. Occurring at the very
threshold of His public ministry,
they are formative events of the
highest significance.
The baptism reminds us of the
river Jordan, whose impetuous cur
rent is a symbol of the speed with
which the career of Jesus approach
ed its climax at Calvary. But more
important than the Jordan is the
figure of the Baptizer, the rugged,
fiery John who has been called the
last of the prophets of Israel. Note
the becoming modesty of John as
his strange cousin from Galilee pre
sented Himself.
And now turn to the central fig
ure. Remember the gentle insistence
of Jesus, “Suffer is to be so now.”
Recollect the striking vision that
came to Him immediately after the
baptism, the vision of God’s Spirit
descending dove-like, with the heav
ens opened, and the divine voice
assuring the Master that He was in
deed the Son of the Most High.
Why was Jesus baptized? Is the
baptism a melodramatic announce
ment of His Messiahship? No. It is
an indication that the Master felt
the need of cleansing from sin?
Again, no. The true explanation is
two-fold. The baptism first makes
clear our Lord’s genuine humanity,
His desire to identify Himself with
His restless, unhappy fellows whom
He so longed to serve. Secondly, it
is the token of Jesus’ complete union
with His father.
Immediately following the bap
tism came the wrestling in the wil
derness with three specific tempta
tions. First of all, the Master was
tempted to selfishly satisfy His dire
hunger. Next He was enticed to be
a clever sensationalist, to throw
Himself from the temptie height with
the certainty that He would land un
harmed. Finally, He was bribed to
substitute a material empire of
worldly gain for a spiritual kingdom
of the inner life.
Here are three typical tempta
tions. All of us are inclined to be
selfish, to seek the lure of the spot
light, and to stress external, physi
cal prosperity.
It’s What You Get Out of
the Bag of Feed that Counts
Purina Feeds lead all feeds in production of
pork and of beef, milk and eggs. Look back
through the years and up to the present.
Over a dozen Hog Crop contests. Many rec
ords of performance, state records on flocks
of chickens over the country. Beef made at
cheapest cost and Winners at all shows and
market toppers from Purina fed herds. One
third of all winners at National Dairy Show
were Purina fed.
Don’t think of feed in terms of the cost of the feed
but in the cost of what it produces, Milk, Beef,
Pork, Eggs.
