Our Verse-- "You are my friend, my Master said, And swift I answered "Lord I'm Thine;" A friend of Christ!--then am I one, With all His friends beneath the sun."--Contributed. Our Sermon-- I think we do not hear enough about the friendliness of Jesus. I mean the fine intimate interest that He had in those around Him. I think of the tears He shed for the sorrow of others, the happiness He shared with those who rejoiced. I am sure that many fine summer evenings He sat outside the door of his shop and "talked" to those who were so eager to listen. I can see Him looking with a twinkle in His eye on some embarassed lassie who had been teased about a lover and listening with such kindly concern to others as they told Him of their troubles, weeping with those who wept. Was there ever a friends like Him? We are His friends, and that means that are friendly. The finest fraternity on earth is that of Christian Friendship.. "Help to help each other Lord, Each other's cross to share, Let each some friendly aid afford And feel his brother's care." --C. Wesley. Our Prayer-- Our Friend of the perfect friend-hip, teach us Thy friendliness, we pray, so that in friendship we may bind the world's heart into Thine.
