Attend Church Easier
In the hurry and bustle of everyday living it is indeed
appropriate for mankind to pause at intervals, and in paus
ing reflect, not only on the past hut upon the future. Of ail
the pauses we make during the year—Christmas, Memorial
Dav, Thanksgiving—none is more significant than Easter
tor fm- fhp the promise nrnmisp of 0T eternal eternal me, life as as oersonified personnieu bv o\ Easter Cud. ter
observance, is by far the greatest promise ever made to
mankind.
As the world again approaches Easter Sunday
hearts of manv are indeed heavy, for in practically every
section of the world war clouds have gathered, raining
death and destruction on an already war-weary world.
Here in America we can go to Church next Sunday
without the fear of quick and horrible death from
made war machines. We will observe Easter in the tradi
tional American way, and so long as we continue to seek
the solace and security of the Church we will retain our
claim to true national greatness, peace shall reign in our
time and our future prosperity will be assured.

has been true since the days our forefathers first carved a
new Nation out of an immense wilderness.
This Easter as we enter the portals of the churches of
our varied faiths let us consider carefully the full import
of the American Churches in our world today. This Nation
was founded basically on the right of man to worship
his conscience dictated.
Throughout lluough ut the the vpars oat. wp e have na rlnntr clung to t that that hpliof belief
.
and through wars, famine and storm we have protected
that essential right.
Truly a community without churches would be a drab
place in which to live. Other places and activities might
fill the hours, but without the firm foundation Of Christian

formed early it gives a man one solid thing to cling to
throughout his entire life. His worldly wealth mav'turn tnav dimin
ish with the years and fair-weather friends on
him, but his eternal welcome to the church remains con
stant through all the years.
Some of us are inclined to offer those age-old
as a reason for not going regularly to church. There
those who cling to the belief that w r or ship of the
is not to be confined to the walls of the church, Their
tention, and rightly so, is that worship in their own
in a grove of trees or walking on the streets is just the
same as worship in the communion of their fellow men.
While this may be—the cold hard fact remains that
in this day and time the average man will not stop to wor
ship God in these outside environments.
Every sermon you hear in church may not appeal to
you individually and you may not understand its full mean
ing. But truly God’s word, as interpreted by a man who
spends his entire life, aided by his good wife, in
hard lives a little hit easier, is well worth hearing and we
will be better men and women for having heard it.
In Church, and usually in Church only, we can listen
and take part in , reading beautiful from the Rihle.
passages
God’s Holy Book—and surely the universal appeal of
Bible is attested year after year as it continues to lead
other printed documents in sales volume.
Our churches offer us an opportunity to blend
voices with those of our neighbors in singing those
that have been handed down to us through the ages.
Here away from the confusion of business life
away from the cares and worries of home life we can
our fellow men—speak to them in the calm deliberate
that descends on us all in the shadow of God’s temple and
when we come away we find ourselves just a little
charitable towards the world.
In this time of international stress, when we stand
the edge of a great war, we need our churches more
ever before. In the past they have proved their power
carrying us through strife and faith in them will
carry us through the dark hours.
So. let’s all join together this Easter and clearly
faith in our future by re-dedicating our faith in our
es—for surely our salvation lies in them.
It’s all right to brag about ancestors. A fellow
brag about how good he was 10 years ago if he
been any good since.
I’ve always noticed that a rainstorm always comes
before it comes down.
There may not be much fun in living to be 102
old, but there aren’t many men you can prove it by.
An optimist is a man with a grown son who expects to
find an unused razor blade when he decides to shave.
How many old-timers can remember the good old
days when a fellow could te]] if a girl was* blushing?
If you are fascinated by a slide trombone then you should
attend a wedding and watch the groom’s Adam's apple.
The man who wiits until the last minute usually finds
himself tangled up in a crowd.

At length the disciples were
convinced, by the evidence of their
own senses that the crucified
Christ was their risen and living
Lord. The last and hardest to con
vince was Thomas, who had vow
ed that he must put his finger in
to the print of the nails, and thrust
his hand into the riven side, before
he would believe. Confronted with
this very evidence, the doubtei

Following the Truth
What place has the Holy Spirit
in our lives? He seeks to prepare
us for the richest and most ef
fective service. He desires to en
duee us for personal witnessing
He would have us surround the
preacher with our presence and
prayers and support. He challenges
us to pay the price of sacrificial
service. His power is adequate and
available. Are we willing to ap
propriate it by meeting the cond,
tions which Christ has laid down?
