1 THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS VOL. VI WHEN STOW, ARE WE O., FRIDAY, AUGUST SAVED? I have heard it said that we are saved at death, that there is many a slip between the cup and the lip, that it is only when death kisses down the eyelids still that we can know for sure that we are saved. I am told that one may put bis hand to the plow and look back and be rejected. So, when are we saved? I am told we are saved at the final Judgment, that at the great day when the earth and sea shall have given up their dead, when the sheep shall be separated from the goats, that then we shall hear the Great Shepherd say, "Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." I am told that we are saved when we are baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that that is a public declaration, or testimony, of a new life begun, that God witnesses the act of baptism, as He honored the baptism of His only begotten Son. That at that time our names are written in Heaven, and we are adopted into the family of the Almighty. There are other seasons and means by which it is said the soul makes its peace with God, however, these three aforestated ways will suffice to bring this subjct before us. So, now, when are we saved? A pupil in the early teen age in the grade school listening to an evil voice and slipping, admonished then by a teacher, encouraged by parents, or advised by a friend, 25, 1939 No. 34 seeing then the vision and lining up with the brave, striking out for life's great objective, that is being saved, that is saved from shipwreck in a swirling world ot wrecks. Hear me, and I will tell you when you are saved. You are saved when you answer the Voiijp of your own soul, the urge and desire within for peace, for life, for God. All the way from childhood to old age there follows us an invisable Friend, always seeking our good, often calling us by name, often sh ; eld : ng us from evil, always pointing out the way. Wherever or whenever a human soul regards or listens to that Voice, there and then a new life begins. To be saved may be the greatest act of life, however, it is not complex, it is glorious in its simplicity. If a boat were drifting on Niagara, gaining momentum with the current, and a rope w a s thrown from the shore, caught by the parties in the boat, made fast, and the boat would immediately swing toward the shore, when were the boat and occupants saved? The answer is, when they grasped the means cast out for their rescue. One moment lost, the current swift, roar of death at the great plunge, awful to contemplate, but the moment a strong arm held fast the rope, ah, then, that moment the will of the rope was obeyed, the swift rushing current had lost its power, a way of escape saved the boat. My brother, you are saved when a new life begins, when you have

In the afternoon the minister dwelt much on the second coming of Christ. He emphasised the need of being prepared. He told how only those who were Holy would meet the Lord in the ajr when he came for his true church. Much more, too, he told but at times the "amens" and other exclamations of approval drowned out the speaker's voice.
