1 THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS Vol. II Friday, November 22, 1935 STOW, OHIO No. 48 MINISTER'S COLUMN From henceforth a great Sunday evening program will begin in the Community Church at Stow. I am amazed to find modern paganism rooted and thriving, alarmingly so, even iin Stow. Anyone who worships his denomination, his creed, customs or traditions rather than the living God is paganistic in his worship. I From now and until I am silent in death I shall cry aloud and spare not in a ringing message that Christ is the world s Saviour, a message unadulterated, unmitigated and unhindered by denominational claims, that retard and divide rather advance the forces of Christianity. than..the christian task confronted by present day problems is too important to be played with and trimmed under the persuasion of doctrine, polity, government and interpretation, legend being their name, all in a mad frenzy to coerce humanity in supporting man made sectarian groups. Therefore, be it resolved, that a great Community Church prograrp shall go forth at Stow, emphasizing the glow and zeal of a community spirit, the glory of God, the height and depth of the love of Jesus Christ for lost humanity. The first Sunday night of every month, a great men's chorus, (we plan for fifty voices,) will occupy the new platform. A ten minute evangelistic sermon will close the evening program. This is the first Sunday night of every month. Second Sunday night of each month, grand sacred concert by the orchestra directed by A. J. Kurinsky. also to be closed by a ten minute sermon by the minister. folk. This service Third Sunday night of the month, program by the young One hundred young folk are organized to press forward in a great organized effort? for the youth of Stow. to close with a ten minute evangelistic sermon. This service Fourth Sunday night. A Christmas program, the Sunday school. Fifth Sunday night of December, a great community get- -together, an appropriate program for the close of the old year, closing with a tew s minute evangelistic sermon by the minister. GEO. fo.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Is there a scriptural verse commanding' us to meet on the first day of the week to take the Lord's supper? There is no scripture that can be interpreted as a positive command to meet on the first day of the week to partake of the Lord's supper. I refer those interested in this question,to the four scriptural accounts conceded to be the authority for the observance of the communion. See Matthew 26:28; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:17-20; 1 Cor. 11: You Will find nothing imperative in any of these scriptures in placing the ordinance on the first day. However, the beauty of the scriptures is found in the fact that at regular intervals, throughout the life of the church in all ages and among all people, there should fee a loving and vital remembrance of the Master's death. This is our Lord's command. The basis of argument for the first day is found in Acts 20:7 which reads: "And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came togethes to break bread.. " Paul here falls in with a group of disciples whose custom it -was to meet on the first day of the week. He communes with them, preaches for them and leaves on the morrow. The command of the Master is: Member of the order of fhe Golden Rule Which means our service, equipment and personnel meet national standards and can be depended upon under any circumstances.

Maple in. two of his sermons, which he delivered last week, in the Bible Study Conference, spoke on the second coming of Christ. He dealt largely with a scriptural presentation ^ of t h e theme. He stated that there were 1845 texts in the Bible upon this subject. There are 318 in the New Testament alone which is an average of one in every 22 verses. For those who would study this subject in greater detail the outline which follows was prepared by Dr. Maple. I. WHY I BELIEVE IN THE SEC- OND COMING OF CHRIST 1.

Because of the testimony of the Heavenly Messengers. They said ''He shall come again." See Acts 1:11. The word of these messengers has always come to pass as predicted. 3. Because of the testimony of the new testament writers. T'hey said, "He shall come again." See 1. Thess. 4:16. Heb. 9:28. It is mentioned by every writer of the new testament. 4. Because of the testimony of the old testament prophets. They said "He shall come again." See Dan. 7:13. Zech. 14. Job, David, Isaiah and others testified to the same. By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established, and here are four: We are told 'that "Faitih cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word cf God." You have here the word of God as a basis of faith on this great subject of His return. II. WHAT DO I BELIEVE ABOUT THE SECOND COMING? 1. It will be a personal coming. I. Thess. 4:16. Matt. 24:30.
