Devotional
BY J. RAY DUNAHOO, Ptor
Jackson Methodist Church
Wherever the Gospel of Jesus
Christ has been carried, it has
had great attraction. The most
important part of it has been the
way in which it transformed the
minds of men.
This past week I spent in the
city of Macon. With a set of bor
rowed golf clubs and balls a
group of us went to have some
fun. On arriving at the country
club, we were informed that min
isters were allowed to play free.
For some strange reason men re
spect this great religion of ours.
In the days of St. Peter, they
had an even greater respect.
When Peter walked down the
streets something took place. Peo
ple would gather their sick and
place them along the street that
he would pass in anxious desire
that his shadow would fall upon
the sick and heal them.
Apparently this was no sign of
magic, but true faith. These men
had seen and heard of the power
of God and they were trusting in
His help.
As we know there is nothing
to a shadow, yet if we look at this
in another way there is a differ
ent light shed upon us. A shadow
is the image of one standing un
der the rays of the sunlight. Just
as we come closer to the center
of the light, so our image is radi
ated farther out. Every day we
are casting our shadow from this
side to the other side, from front
of us to the rear; all dependent
upon our position to the sun. We
who are called Christians are
supposed to be casting a shadow
of Christian influence wherever
we walk. Men are looking not at
what we appear to be or even
proclaim to be, but what our life
really reflects.
Our influence is proportionate
to our dedication to God. A true
Christian image cannot be cast
lest we are walking in the light of
Christ. “You are a light set on a
hill,” and men “do not place their
candles under a basket.”

MRS. W. A. HOARD
(Last Week’s Letter)
Mr. and Mrs. Asa Maddox and
Mr. and Mrs. Dave Bailey spent
the weekend in the mountains of
North Georgia.
Mrs. A. W. Tucker, of Atlanta,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. B. T.
McMichael, and mother, Mrs.
lived in a home of great influence
and wealth. One day as she was
visiting a little friend, she
chanced to see a prisoner. He
was shackled at the legs and
hands. As he walked he evidenced
great pain. The warder carried
him into a black smith to repair
one of the chains. As the smitties
iron touched the prisoner’s leg, he
screamed in great pain.
Christine was horrified, but
soon forgot the pain she had seen
in the man’s life. Yet, when she
was about eighteen, she had a
dream, and was awakened with
fear and anxiety. In the dream
she saw this prisoner, and he was
crying to her, I am waiting for
you to help me. With a great
sense of dedication and com
passion, she arose and gave her
life as a witness of hope to the
prisoners of Finland.
This was a great shadow she
cast. The image of one living
under the light of the Son of God.
Her shadow is a reflection of the
great light of the Son. But what
shadows are you casting?
We only reflect what we are
truly living by. John said, “They
walk in darkness,” thus no shad
ow of love and compassion is ex
pected to be cast by those with
out the light of Jesus Christ. But
you, you claim to walk in the
light. How far does the shadow
of love for your fellowman ex
tend?

THE CHURCH FOR ALL
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest
factor on earth for the build
ing of character and good
citizenship. It is a storehouse
of spiritual values. Without
a strong church, neither
democracy nor civilization
can survive. There are four
•ound Ttasons why every
person should attend services
regularly and support the
church. They are: (1) For hia
sake. (2) For hie chil
dren's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation.
(4) For the sake of the church
itself, which needs his moral
and material support Plan
to go to church regularly
and read your Bible daily.
