1 MUNITY CHURCH NEWS Vol. II Friday, October 25, 1935 STOW, OHIO _No._ 44 MINISTERS COLUMN It was in the days of the great Depression when huge losses by individuals and 'Corporations swept the earth like some deadly epidemic. In these times the earth brought forth her abundance. So mighty was the yield of mother earth that governments curbed production and destroyed surplus, even though millions cried for bread., and millions again, could find no means cf earn-, ing bread. Never 'before in the history of the human race have miljiore been in want 'because their neighbors had too much. These were the days when men's hearts failed them, when souls were tried as iby fire. Such days broke the mcra's of strong men as.a. cyclone breaks branches frcm the nobl:r trees. The World War, fought by Christian nations was a.paradox, irexplaiiiable. unjustifiable, and beyond the realm of human reason. Thi s colossal strife embittered the.. world, upset the balance of human society, and planted century seeds of hate. A decade after this.brutal war, the race finds itself impoverished, dissapipointed, and ill at ease. The economic wise men have no solution, our statesmen and leaders are as blind leading the blind. All men everywhere are rolled along by the irresiistaible force of current everts. No. one knows where we are going all agree we are on the way. It was in this Golden Age, in this paradox cf too much and want that, in Aki'on, Ohio. Judge * * * bought $2:5,000 kort'li of rubber stock. The Bank, then listing like a ship ready for the plunge to the ocean's bod, persuaded the Judge to invest $ 23,000 more in rubber stock. The good Judge yielded, gave a blanket mortgage on home and farm jointly signed by his wife for the second installment of $25,000. Cruel fate removed the Judge from the bench, merciless laws dropped stocks to the bottom. Seme of our home bankers felt the list of t'he ship as it quivered under their feet, so into the life boat they nestled, their rests well feathered, while their chentele sank to rise no more. This well-known jud'e in the City of Opportunity grieved. H e was wounded beyond human add. and in what should have been the sunniest hour of his career he wilted and died. His widow told me, "All is lest home gone, farm gone, our saving's gone, and husband is gone. I know not where to go or what to do." This in God's world, multiplied by hundreds of like tragedies dn Summit county and all because man rejects the only hope of t'he human race the teachings of Man of Galilee. the QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Dees the Community Church leach doctrine? To this question no one could consistently give a yes or no answer. Doctrine is that which is set forth for acceptance, belief, and practice of believers. Doctrine is from the Latin word meaning to teach. The teachings of Jesus as they are handed down to us may be called Doctrine. However, it is Topic of Sunday Morning Senium : "What plmll I do then with,'ith Jt'sns \vl llleil Chi Mat, 90

It is proper to say "Doctrine of the Pharisees," or "Doctrine of Paul," for the reason that their interpretations ofl the law are argumentative and instructive. The burden of practically all the Epistles of the New Testament is to establish the three facts, namely: first, Jesus was the Christ; second, He rose from the dead; third, Salvation i s by faith in his name. All these treatise may be classified as doctrinal. Now, does the Community Church teach doctrine? If we teach the New Testament we teach doctrine. If we confine ourselves exclusively to the teachings of the Master,, we can scarcely be charged with teaching doctrine. If we contend for immersion as a valid baptism, then we teach doctrine. Assuming a liberal view of the question, I answer; the Community church is decidedly adverse to Doctrine, as doctrine is commonly interpreted. The doctrine of God and the doctrine of salvation are great land marks of all churches. However, there are doctrines that denominations hold to that sever, and separate them hopelessly from cooperation with the great company of believers. Such doctrines the Community church is opposed to. GEO. M. HULME ANNOUNCEMENT'S The Goodyear Chorus will be at Community Church this Sunday evening at 7:30 p. m. The date- October 27th. You are advised to come on time as seats will probably be at a premium. No admission charge, though a silver offering will be taken, half of the proceeds going to Gocdyear Charity Fund, the other half to be used for music, etc., in our church or bible school.

4 fi THE COMMUNITY CflURCH NEWS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS If Mr. Doe's views are not in harmony with the doctrine as taught in his church, should he remain a member of that church? My answer is "No!" Fold your tent like the Arabs, my brother, and as quietly steal away. Don't stay where you are a misfit. It is unjust to your own soul. Furthermore; you can never be at your best in unfavorable environment. Life is too short to go about with a gravel in the shoe. Be careful, however, that you are not out of step with the truth. Lay hold of the mighty truths, truths that conscience, reason and experience lead you to believe are vouched safe by the Spirit of God. Buy such truths and sell them not. GEORGE M. HULME will be more fully announced next week. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR C. E. Prayer meeting, six thirty p. m. Sunday, James Cross, leader. Special music by the 'quartette.' Everyone invited.

Perhaps after being thus aroused from your slumbers you hastened to a window and looked out into the night for that flame lit sky indicating a big fire. Perhaps as you went back to bed, you thanked your lucky stars that it wa s somebody else who was in trouble, or perhaps you were much disturbed and muttered to yourself, "I wish they would hurry up and shut that thing off so that I can get some sleep." What did it mean to that unfortunate family, who just six weeks ago had moved into that big farm house near Green Road in Northampton Township? Awakened by the crackling of flames, and a glare that lit up the house outside and in. and upon rushing to the window to discover the big bank barn across the road a mass of flames, the sparks and flying embers falling on the house roof and in the door yard, the heat so intense that the paint was blistering on the side of the house next to the road. What did it mean to them, when after several telephone appeals to other communities for help, they heard the Stow Fire Chief say, "Yes we will come." What did it mean to the members of the Stow Fire department, aroused by that call ot duty? It meant lights on in about 30 homes, hurry into their clothes, start the car and after getting the direction di'ive four miles in a dense fog
