1 THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS Stow, Vol. V I I LET US Ohio, F R I D A Y, N O V E M B E R 8, 1940 STAND That sounds like Church, doesn't i t? O. Generation of the careless, why will ye not heed the admonition to s t a n d? That is, to stand for something worthy, to stand f o r the old Book, to stand f o r the Church, to stand for the faith of your fathers, to stand for the things that m a k e for peace. In the Bible here are seven hundred references that speak exclusively on standing. Following are a few lines picked at random t h a t speak of standing A house divided in itself cannot stand. Let him t h a t thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. Jesus himself stood in the midst of them. And having done all to stand. So just think gf six hundred ninetyfive more positive statements on the subject of standing, all of them in them in the Bible. In your christian experience have you anything positive to stand for? Or, do you just belong to the Church and drift along with the crowd? M a r k well, God's W o r d must feel that the subject of standing is very important f o r seven hundred times it is r e f e r r e d to. So, what do you stand f o r? Christianity required m a n y definite, clean-cut unwavering, and uncompromising decisions for Christ and the Church. Let me name three requirements levied on you if you are a christian. They are, one-seventh of your time, one-tenth of your money, and unceasing devotion. In the ancient Tabernacle, and later in the Temple, a parcel of No. 45 the area was known as the Holy Place. In this enclosure were the golden candlesticks with seven branches, a symbol of consecrated time. N e a r by were the golden tables of shew bread, twelve loaves, one f o r each tribe, a symbol of consecrated substance, and by their side was the altar of incense, symbol of unceasing devotion. Does this mean anything to y o u? Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seve n t h? That is the fourth commandment, surely we owe to God. to our church, and to our bodies one-seventh of our time, one day in seven. Anyone who does not give systematically of his substance, of his earnings, is not a Bible Christian. No one can love God, the Church, and the great principles that Christ taught the world and with-hold of his means. Love relaxes the fingers, opens the purse and gives, not grudgingly, but freely and joyously, gives because he would feel condemmed and lose the blessing if he gives not. Incense, the symbol of unceasing devotion, worship, and prayer. In Christianity there is no place for backsliders, for drones, or the 'ndifferent. Your daily devotion is demanded, also your daily prayer, your constant search a n d reading of the Word. Even as the coals were always kept hot beneath the fluid of incense. even so, your vigilance must be constant. Church members, do you stand for these three obligations of t h e christian life, or have you long since passed them u p? My people, perhaps you need a new anoint-

(Written in 1938) When we think of Armistice Day, we turn back the pages of time to the morning of November 11, We wonder what joy must have swept over the \.ar-torn countries of Europe. We can imagine their happiness when we think of the joy of our own people. The joy of being releasee! from the pressure of a cruel war, which had held the world in its grip for four long years, must have been a wonderful thing to have experienced. For four years, the European countries had pitted army against army, until n 1917, the United States was drawn into its entanglements. But on November 11, 1918, the armistice was signed and the "war to end wars" was drawn to a close. But still this war carries with it more than just the end of a hateful World War. It carries memories for many weary souls. For the war veteran who has experienced the horrors of war and i'elt the stinging pain of a bullet piercing his flesh, this day brings the unwelcome rush of memories of a war-ravaged country across his mind. For the old gray-haired mother who sits in her chair, the memories of a little son playing about her feet are held dear to her heart, because now he lies in a cold and lonely grave in a far-off land. Yet, as we see what the Armistice was and the memories it holds for others, we find that for us, the coming generation, it carries a different meaning. We have only our history to tell us of the Armistice. We have no haunting recollections of war; and yet, it is we, "the hope of the world," to whom Armistice Day should be a cherished day. As we look back over the years, we behold no romance in these fruitless struggles of humanity. We see only the ruins of once beautiful cities, only the war-shattered countryside, and only sad memories for many a man and woman. But why can't the memories of war end there? Why must civilization continue in such debasing and destructive acts? If only our thoughts were limited to our history stories of remote and ancient days, how much happier we all FEEDS FEEDS CHICKEN DOG HOG DAIRY BAUGHMAN'S FEED STORE OV-8413 STOW, OHIO

THROWING GEMS AWAY I saw a man throw gems away And then go forth to gather stones. And heard him laugh and lightlysay: "These gems belong to crowns and thrones Of those who have far h ; gher aims Than lie along my earthly beach, Or who put in their earnest claims For things beyond my mortal reach." The gems were purposes subline And noble aims that all should prize, And plans by which we each may climb The path that in our future lies, To heights that make us useful men, Whatever place in life we fill, Whether to wield the fluent pen, Or work in busy mart or mill. He cast aside the gems of prayer, The gems of honesty and truth, And seemed for nothing great to care, Although he was a handsome youth Who could have filled a worthwhile place Somewhere within his earthly realm, With beauty shinning from his face, Awaiting heaven's diadem. The stones he gathered in their stead Were stones of idleness and sin, And mental focd on which he fed That never helps a soul to win, Nor blesses others on life's road Who ought to have a lifting hand. That they may bravely bear their load While passing through this pilgrim land. He gathered stones of unbelief In God and His eternal Word, And seemed to reach for every sheaf Against the truth of which he heard; Also he gathered stones of lust, Of selfishness and wrong desires, And built on nothing we can trust, And nothing that uplifts, inspires. We cannot throw life's gems away And ever hope to wear a crow:i, Or reach the heights where we shall stay With men of worth and true renown; For by these gems they won (heir fame, And wreathed the laurels for their brow, And left the world a noble name, To whom, in true respect, v e bow.
