Says . .
Our country has been con
sidered a Christian country
■ since it was first founded.
Where our forefathers fought
: for their independence 98.5%
of the inhabitants were of Pro
testant background and gloried
in the right to worship God
i after the dictates of their own
hearts. They publicly acknow
ledged their faith in God. Even
stamped on their coins "In God
We Trust".
Not all were members of a
church but those who were
had a personal religious ex-
for the Projects that sponges
would be available all year.
A gift of nineteen books from
Mrs. Alvin Jeffries to the Wo
man’s Club Library was ac
knowledged. Other books on
the best sellers’ list included:
“Shoes of the Fisherman”, "The
Other Side of Home", “Pro
mises to Keep”, and “Take My
Hands".
Miss Sadie Polson dismissed

er.
Delicious cottage cheese
peach salad with bacon thins
and cokes were served during I
' the social period.

Earl Tidwell will present thel

I ing.
THE COVIN
perience and brought up their
children in the reverence of the j
church and the Bible.
How does it happen that we
have come to the present situ
ation in which a handful of so
called “atheists” can upset the
whole frame-work of our social ;
structure and bring us to the
brink of declaring ours a God
less nation?
May 1 give you my idea of
how this condition has deve
loped?
Back in the old days, to be
come church members, people
were supposed to believe the
Bible, where Jesus said, “Ye
must be born again.” And when
people, after pentecost, ask the
Apostles what to do to be
saved, they were told: “Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and
ye shall be saved!”
In the time of our forefathers
the Gospel was preached and
people who accepted it knelt at
the alter, and prayed and were
prayed for till they received
the assurance of the forgive
ness of their 1 sin. When this
happened many' shouted aloud
for joy. (Today people may
yell themselves hoarse at a
football game without criticism,
but any kind of show of emo
tion at a religious meeting is
taboo!) Those Christians happy
in their assurance of salvation
brought their children up in
what they considered the nur
ture and admonition of the
Lord, and the young people
became members of the church
automatically and lived up
right moral lives, but many of
them never reached the deep
personal experience of real
conversion. Generation follow
ed generation along the same
line, till came the era that there
was little if any difference bet
ween the life of the members
of the church and that of non
church men.
As a consequence, when the
protest against Bible reading
and prayers in public school
came, few were profoundly
shocked. But now that the in
fintiscimal group that demand
ed their asserted “rights”, as |
out weighing the "rights” of the
large majority of citizens,
flount their so called victory to
the point of planning to estab
lish an atheist colony and set
out deliberately to wipe the
name of God from our national
life, most people resent the sit
uation and think something
should be done about it. But
with our conscientttious desire
for freedom of thought, the
question arises: What can be
done?
Here is the remedy: Return
to God. The promise is: “If
thou shalt seek the Lord thy
God thou shalt find Him. if
thou seek Him with all thy
heart and with all thy soul!”
Let every professing Chris
tian go to his knees and con
fess his need of God, and ac
cept God's forgiveness of his
sin, and rise up, join hands with
all other Christians, of what
ever denomination, we can de
mand of our government lead
ers that God be accorded t h e
honor due Him in our nation
that He has so richly blessed.
We don't need to physically
march on Washington! All we
need to do is to have faith in
God, love Him with our whole
heart, soul, mind and strength
