A Time for
- Endurance
; By JACK ARNOLD
Pastor, Pembroke Methodist
Church
“But he that shall endure to
the end, the same shall be sav
ed.” Matthew 24:13.
Once as 1 was visiting with a
preacher friend in the home of a
family which had no church ties,
I heard a very interesting conver
sation. The other preacher was
asking about their spiritual rela
tionship with God. The father of
the family said that he used to go
to church. When asked why he
no longer went to church and why
he wasn’t rearing his children in
the church, he answered in this
manner:
“Well, I went to church during
the depression years of the 1930’5.
I heard preachers give the boot
leggers and sinners down the
country, saying that the Depres
sion proved that the end of the
world was near at hand. Then
in World War 11, I heard preach
ers claiming that Hitler was the
Antichrist and that Jesus was com
ing soon to deliver his people.
They warned everybody to repent.
But all this time nothing happen
ed. So | figured that it was a
waste of time to go on believing
that some miracle was coming to
rid the world of the devil and war
and death and all that. Because
if the preachers didn’t know what
they were talking about, there
must not be much to it.”
Plainly, there wasn’t much that
we could say to this fellow. He
had made up his mind already,
but it was a shame that such a
one should be a stumbling-block
for his children.
But he is an example of one
who failed to follow the advice of
Jesus in the above passage of '
Scripture. He seemed to have a
great dislike of sin and wrong-I
doing, but he disn't have the gift)
of insight into what Jesus was
talking about. It’s one thing to
dislike evil. There are a great
multitude of people who fall into
that category. But it's quite an
other thing to patiently fight that
evil. Here’s a man who wanted
the victory over evil handed to
him on a silver platter by God
Himself. He couldn’t bother him
self with working for that day to
come by the strength of his mind,
heart, soul and body.
There is great wisdom and vir
tue in endurance., This word of
Jesus must have meant a lot to
the Christ who were constantly in
danger of being thrown to the
lions or burned alive. It must
have meant a lot to sincere Chris
tians through the years who have
stood the threats of exile and in
quisition. Our land was largely
settled by those who endured mis
treatment because of their faith.
Rather than renounce the way
they believed in God, they were
willing to leave their precious
homes and native lands to sail to
a land filled with unknown perils.
Perhaps many of them secretly
hoped ttat God would intervene
snd vindicate them, giving them
the victory over sin and evil. But
when this event didn’t come, they
kept on working, striving for a
better day, preparing for genera
tions yet unborn. In spite of
ebstacles and dangers, they en
dured amid suffering and hard
ship.
An endurance of another kind is
in order for citizens of today. We
would hope that God might inter
vene before the foolishness of nu
clear warfare erupts. Many signs
point to a near-at-hand time for
the consummation of the events
of the world. But we can't be
sure that these signs are not for
a day yet to come in the distant
future., And so we can't retreat
into a shell, protecting only our
doorstep and hope for the direct
intervention of God to save us
from a holocaust.
We are called upon to endure
suffering and humiliation that the
cause of freedom and godliness
might be advanced. We have been
called upon to endure insults at
the hands of the Communists in
the interest of preserving the
United Nations. But while en
during these insults, suffering in

Meth. Lay Leader
s Speaker at
-
Swainsboro Church
J. Dixie Harn, prominent in
Methodist Church activities on
local, district and conference
levels, was the speaker Sunday
morning at the First Methodist
Church in Swainsboro,
Mr. Harn, who is lay leader of
the Savannah District, used *“Ste
wardship” as his subject, He was
introduced by George L. Smith,
11. This Sunday he will address
the congregation of the Pooler
Methodist Church.
During the past few years Mr.
Harn has been in demand as a
lay speaker at Methodist churches
throughout the Savannah District.
Pastor of the Swainsboro church
is the Rev. Pledger Parker, who
conducted a recival at the Pcm-l
broke Methodist Church a few
years ago,
Mrs. F. 0. Miller returned to
her home in Pembroke on Tuesday
after undergoing major surgery
on Wednesday of last week at Me
morial Hospital.
Friends of G. B. Williams are
glad to know that he is much im
proved following a brief confine
ment in Bulloch County Hospital.
a Christlike way because of the
jeers, taunts and underhanded
dealings of our adversaries, the
United Nations continues to do an
effective job in many areas of
its endeavor and the Communists
have been time after time routed
in their efforts to destroy the
UN. We have endured the Cuban
situation. We met with humilia
tion in the incident at the Bay of
’Pigs. Our citizens had their Cuban
\property taken from ther. Some
[died. The work of the church has
suffered there, We are caring for
‘thousands of refugees from the
afflicted island. Some advocated
immediate attack upon the Castro
held fortress. But this would be
a strange thing indeed. Attack
ing another country because we
didn’t agree with the internal
policies of its government. The
world would certainly have won
dered at American character and
morality and the Russians would
have had their biggest propaganda
apple.
But endurance has paid off. Now
the Cubans have become the of
fenders as it has been discovered
that they have been turned into a
base of possible aggression by the
Russians. Now we have some
thing to act upon. Now Castro’s
intentions are in the open. We
have a moral duty te demand with
drawal of these implements of
aggressive warfare in the interest
of our nation and hemisphere.
Jesus’ endurance upon the Cross
is a lesson in diplomacy. By suf
fering a while He was able to re
deem the world. The same call
goes to Christian individuals and
nations throughout the world. Suf
fer a while in the interest of fu
ture salvation, Christ’'s method
has worked wherever it has been
tried.
