that he will soon be much im

“IS IT HARD
TO RECOGNIZE SIN?”
What does church member
ship mean to you? I sometimes
wonder if people give this
question serious thought be
fore joining a church. Joining
the church is a momentous oc
casion. I am convinced that
many churches are filled with
people who view church mem
-1 bership flippantly. Some peo
! pie seem to have the idea that
the church is a place of refuge,
rest and a harbor of safety.
This is partially true, but such
a philosophy is woefully lack
ing.
Many of us want a beautiful
I crown shining with victory and
saintly lives without as much
as even a quick glimpse at the
bloody, cruel, ugly and pain
ful cross. Jesus found that the
: only road that would lead Him
back to the Father’s House was
the way of Calvary. Calvary
with all its ugliness, cruelty
and ruthlessness is a long way
from the ease and comfort we
seek today. I have noticed re
cently in some of our church
ads, an appeal to worship in
an air conditioned sanctuary.
I am not against a cool place
to worship, but far more im
portant than a central air con
ditioned sanctuary, we need
sanctuaries that are Christ cen
tered.
I believe the devil is satis
fied if he can get church mem
bers to advocate this philoso
phy: ‘I have my name on the
church roll: I attend with some
degree of regularity; I give to
the church, and therefore I am
a Christian.’ These acts will

St. James Church, Atlanta
not make one a Christian any
more than walking down the
corridor of some great univer
sity will result in a Liberal
Arts education.
We have dressed sin up in
garments of respectability and
clothes of social acceptance.
We have glamorized sin to such
a degree that it is inviting. It
is difficult for some church
members to define an action as
sin. Let me illustrate. Suppose
a young person cheats on an
examination. I have been ap
palled to learn that among
some youth there is a growing
tendency to smile at such dis
honesty and say, ‘He surely
pulled the wool over the
teacher’s eyes.’ I am glad to
say that such an attitude does
not represent a majority of our
youth.
Let’s move to the political
level. When corruption in gov
ernment becomes so common
place that people take a com
placent attitude toward it, this
is a sure sign that the moral
life of a nation is beginning to
decay. Then, when a business
man takes an unfair advantage
of another and makes a profit
that would cause equity to
blush with shame, some re
mark, ‘He’s clever to pull a
deal like that.’ There is one
thing I know; we cannot white
wash our ugly sins by simply
labeling them, ‘lt is an accept
ed custom.’ I am well aware
that we are living in a real
world where many evils are
parading under the cloak of
respectability and the convinc
ing garment that everybody
else is doing it.
Jesus knew an evil world,

convince those who want to
believe that fairies do exist.
For you can see here their
handiwork.
Then drive on down through
Anslev Park and see the warm
friendlv greetings of the neigh
bors there literally reach out
to you with almost unbeliev
able beautv. marking the sea
son with artistic dignity. And
there are displays, none the less
artistic, which invoke fun into
your serious meditations. In
Ansley Park, the residents com
pete for prizes annually, and
each year the displays become
more elaborate. Once you’ve
driven through, you’ll want to
come back.
And there’s Lenox Square,
converted into a comnlete fan

twinkling fairy lights, which
normally are parking standards.

into bloom with 10.000 bead

the wonderland which is the
Christmas season.
The arches over the mall, fes
tooned with garlands of green
ery. sparkle with the same little
white lights, highlighted by an
oversized lighted Christmas or
nament which hangs free.
On the mall are two giant
Christmas trees on the twin
I plazas bearing lighted multi -
colored over-sized round orna
ments.
And overseeing all this lively
fairyland is the old man him
self — Santa in his sleigh, pull
ed by eight reindeer. This gi
gantic display is over the front
of the mall entrance. Some 14
feet tall, this lifelike display
will thrill young and old as the
legs of the deer tread the air
and Santa waves. This mechan
; ized display is said to be t h e
world’s largest. And it certainly
is one of the most exciting.
You’ll be missing a sparkling
opportunity to enjoy this fes

if you miss coming to Atlanta
to see this fabulous fantasy in

Colored Farm, Family Life
Planning Board Maps Future
Problems of farm income,
■ family living, youth interest
I and community resources were
discussed during a meeting by
the Colored Farm and Family
Life Planning Board for the
purpose of formulating an Ex
tension Service Program of
work for the Colored popu
lation of the county for 1961.
The meeting was held Thurs
day, December 8, at the R. L.
Cousins School with Emmit
Wood, chairman of the Plan
ning Board, presiding.
Representations from 14
communities were present and
from the nature of problems
and questions raised for dis
cussion it was concluded that
the program of work would
center on four major areas of
family interest: namely, agri
culture, Home Management,
Youth Activities and Com
munity Development. Com
mittees composed of one or
more persons from each com
munity in the county were
elected by the body to study
the problems involved in each
of the four major areas and
their findings and reports will
supply information for the
purpose, objectives and goals
of the extension service pro
gram of work for 1961. Mem
bership of each committee is
as follows:
Agriculture — S. G. King,
chairman; Harold Zackery,
Melvin Parker, J. T. Swann,
Ed Hamm, Cleo Banks, Irwin
Nolley, George Brooks and
John H. Perry. Home Manage
ment: Lillie Zackery and Ros
etta Swann, co-chairman; Jo
sephine Wood, Inez Clark, Jim-
Curry, Annie White and El
zora Clark. Youth. Activities:
yet He said to His disciples;
“Be ye perfect.” Paul wrote to
the church at Rome; “Be not
conformed to this world, but be
ye transformed.” (Romans
12:2) We cannot escape evil in
the world; but if we are com
pletely dedicated to God, we
can, through His grace, over
come the world.

The membership of eacn

standing committees and they
are to study the problems in
volved in their respective areas
for information and assist fur

of the county during the year
1961.

Many young people are car
rying a heavy workload, ac
cording to “The American
Workers’ Fact Book,” publish
ed by the U.S. Labor Depart
ment. In 1959 as many as 38
percent of the working students
14 to 17 years of age were
employed from 15 to 34 hours
a week, and 15 percent for 35
hours or more. Including its
school work, the latter group
“is in fact working almost the
equivalent of two full-time
jobs at once,” the publication
points out.
The defense of freedom re
quires the best of everything.
The United States Army takes
nothing less. See me today.
Os the 65 1/2 million work
ers employed in 1959, the U.S.
Labor Department’s Bureau of
Labor Statistics has estimated
that about 16.2 million earned
their living in factories.
