The Golden Text Let's Go To Church Regularly THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, July 11, 1953 ® THE UNITED CHURCH TRIUMPHANT LIVING Experiences At Camp Valuable Storres of Vamous Hymns by Borace B. Powell Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor evil; cleave te that which is ~ good."~Romans 12:9, J SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON St. Paul Sets Pattern Of Christian Behavior By NEWMAN CAMPBELL Life is a constant struggle, is it not? Not only do we strive with outside influences--schools, soci- ety, , national and international problems, etc., but our inner strug- les are constant from childhood old age. We have ideals of tion (or conduct, but how rarely does our conduct live up to those ideals? Children have their problems as well as adults: how to adjust their desires and impulses to the will of parents; how to 'get aleng" with other youngsters; how to learn to study and to do well at school. Life is easy for youngsters. Then when they grow to man- hood and womanhood horizons (and problems) widen. St. Paul, in his epistle to the Romans laid out a way of life for Christians that would, if all people in all parts of the world and of all faiths could only follow it, bring about the Millenium--and quickly! In his sixth chapter of the epistle he states that Christ died for our sins, and we whe believe died with Him and also rose with Him. However, we mustn't stop there, We must go on striving with all our might to live in Christ, and to grow more and more like Him as life goes on. Beginning chapter 12, Paul writes: "I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reason- able service." : It is our bodies that get us into trouble. Our feet ca us where we should not go; our hands grasp out for things we should not ave. Our mouths say things that we never should say, and our minds think of things that are better suppressed at once--how to get a better mrark in school by cheating; how to get that job we want even if we have to climb not over a friend's head; how to get what other people have by fair means or foul. Possibly we think too highly of our skills--not enough of other peonle's abilities. What does Paul say? "For I say to every man tha: is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought tot! ; but to think soberly, according God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." We have many members in one body, but "all members have not the same office: So we, being many, and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether pro- phecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith," and so with other gifts--ministering, exhorting, etc. Who should then be envious of others with differing talents? "Let love be without dissimula- risy). Abhor th which is evil; cleave to that whic is good. "Be kindly affectioned one to an- other with brotherly love; in honor Be not slothful in business, Paul says further, and that is a remind- er most pertinent today when we see irresponsibility, . sloppy work and idleness frequently. Let Paul's words to the Colossians, be our motto: "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men."'--Col. 3:23. We should reloice in hope; be atient in trouble, had constant- y. Also he asks that hospitality be given to the missionaries when they came, weary and footsore, needing food and shelter. "Bless them 'which persecute you; bless and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice; and weep with them that weep." We tend to take our friends' griefs lightly, do we not? with words of sympathy, it is true, but not with any depth of feeling. '"Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things 'honest in the sight of all men. "If it is possible, as much as Licth in you, live peaceably with n. me} "Avenge not yourselves, but place unto: wrath; By MERVIN A. BURY Summer provides the opportun- ity for boys and girls to attend Camp. And wise parents, aware of the possibilities in amp life for character building, plan to send their children to camp. Memories of their own samping experiences and of valuable tPaining received is ample motivation for their de- cisions and for the considerable financial sacrifice which is often entailed. They want their children to enjoy the various phases of camp life which more than any other form of training, helps to guide young lives toward the goal of triumphant living. Camp does something to you and you can never be the same again. As an anonymous poet has expressed it: "For once you have been a Samper, : Something has been to stay Deep down in your heart for- ever Which no one can take away." Camping teaches co-operation, encourages group spirit, as well as individual effort. Camping pro- vides one of the best media we have for training in discipline, and in inculcating the essential tenets of democracy. Camp provides an adventure in fellowship that is hard to duplicate any where else, such as the meeting and making of new friends, sharing duties and responsibilities, and day by day, growing together physically and socially, mentally and spiritually, In Character Building in a bond of wholesome comrade- ship. * What fun there is in swimm and boating, in group games an competitive sports! And those never-to-be-forgotten revelries per- formed with pantomine and melo dramatic fervor, amid the dancing shadows and the golden glow of the campfire. After the skits comes the sing- ing of favorite songs which move from fhe fast - moving secular numbers to the ever - enthralling cadences of the negro spirituals. Camp is not all play. There is work to be done and duties to be performed. All good campers share in these tasks -- setting tables, dish - washing, gathering and cutting wood, etc. ere are periods for instruction in nature study, first aid, handcrafts, badge Tequitements, etc. amps operated under Christian auspices stress as well, Bible study, morning and evening devo- tions, and inspirational talks at campfire time. Many decisions for Christian living and Christian serv- ice have been made during camp. It is the hope of Christian leaders that campers will grow to under- stand the contribution camp can make to help youth achieve trium- phant living, as they learn to pray with Mary S. Edgar: "God who touchest earth with' beauty, Make my heart anew; With Thy Spirit re-create me, Pure, and strong, and true."

If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if thirsty, give Bi drigk. for in so doing you will heap coals of fire upon his head. If you had treated a person very badly and he returned your cruelty with kind- ness,' wouldn't yéu feel small and mean? That iswhat heaping coals of fire on his head most likely means. And such treament might very well result in the ov- ercoming of evil with good. These admonitions of St. Paul's are high ideals, but we can--large or small, rich or poor--strive toward them and pray.

Communism Or Christianity R. BARCLAY WARREN The passing of the Rosenburgs presents to professed Christians an occasion for some serious thought. These people preferred death ra- ther than betraying their former associates and their cause. No wonder that seme are saying that Communism is a religion. Whit- Coul taker Chambers, the ex-Commun- ist, in his stirring book, 'Witness', explains that He became a Com- munist because as it seemed to him Nothing else in the dying world had power to offer at the same intensity, faith and a vision -- somet for which to live, and something for which to die." Has modern Christianity no chal- lenge? Does it make no demands a fi followers? If such be as far from the true religion revealed in the Bible. Con- sider the great characters as Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Deborah, Gideon, Samuel, Devid, Elijah, Elisha, and Daniel. God revealed Himself to these people. They had a work to do. It meant being different. It called for self-denial and sacrifice. It cost them something. This adventurous type of living was characteristic of New Testament Christianity. Jesus said, "If any man will come after' me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me". Mt. 16: 24. When Peter and John were threatened and com- manded not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus they replied, "Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, Jud e ye. For we cannot but spe t things which we have seen and heard". Stephen and James were martyr- ed. But did it deter others from following the path of Christian dis- cipleship? By no means! Christian- ity was alive. What-about today? Many profess- ed Christians are no different from the world about them. They in- N dulge in the same sins. They are slaves to the same sinful habits. They have the same gods of mon- ey and pleasure. For them Chris- tianity demands little, means lit- tle, and. gives little. Their name is on a church roll. They attend when convenient. meaning of cross-bearing is unknown to them. d they expected to die for Jesus Christ? Hardly. Communism can be best combat- ted not by laws of parliament but by a revival of Christianity; Chris- tianity after the pattern of the New Testament Church; Christianity which calls for separation from sin and Dearing the cross for Jesus Christ. Then life is no longer bor- ng Dut a glorious adventure in aith.

Four hundred years ago a preach er in Scotland, William Kethe, was writing mettical versions of many of the favorite Bible Psalms. He put 27 of the Psalms into verse form. before he finished and his version of the 100th Psalm, the mos} famous of his works, is still a widely sung hymn. The psalmist sang: "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence with singing." And Kthe expressed the same thought in the opening lines of his hymn: "'All people that on'earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell; Come ye bfore Him, and rejoice."
