THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS Vol. VI Stow, Ohio, Friday, November 10, 1939 MY SON For many hours everything about me seemed to be revolving, turning, spinning. Tonight, after seven weeks, it cuts, it stings, it paralyzes. I still cry, impossible, impossible. A man he was, thirty-four years of age, weighed one hundred seventy-five pounds, straight as an arrow, kind, polite, genteel, bright, clever, never sick. Three years in the U. S. Navy, two years as shop policeman. This is Monday night, October 30th, Seven weeks ago this afternoon they said to me your son is dead. Dead, what a word, what a message, what a shock. They said he was dead eight hours when found locked in his car. No, I answered, it is not my son, there is some mistake, impossible, impossible. But, they said, his name is Paul Leroy Hulme. For the past few years he was not active in the Church, previous to that he grew up in the Church, was baptized, professed conversion, had profound respect for the Church and all things sacred. He often pleased me by saying, Dad, I like to hear you preach. He found the way to The Community Church on each Easter morning since I have been the minister. Paul was unhappy in his home, in business the tide flowed out, the future to him had clouds. The depression broke his spirit. He was a man, he was proud, he seldom asked for help, he desired and expected a chance, in his own strength, in his own way he hoped 1o make good. He tried, he never complained, he struggled on, to me, even to the last he spoke in No. 45 the most hopeful manner, I'll put it cross, I'll be out of the woods, he would say, Dad, don't worry about me. He the young and strong who cherished Noble longings for the strife By the wayside fell and perish Weary with the march of life." So, seven weeks ago, suffering with a severe cold, discouraged alone, and without a word to friends or parents he balanced himself between two eternities, he surrendered his soul to God. He said, it is enough. He chose that his trial should end September 11th, he went out to return no more. He had no fear of death, he was brave, manly considerate of others this to a marked degree in every act of his life, except his choice of departure. This man who hated evil, who was clean of speech, who respected women, who loved his parents, Paul, who had a personality that any man could be proud of, th's man, my son, entrusted to me for thirty-four years, God gave and God hath taken away. O help me Lord to say, Blessed be the name of the Lord. In some land beyond the ocean Where our loved ones find a home Is the shrine of our devotion Whither all of our thoughts would roam. In the great nrocess of evolution, ir; the marvelous plan of the Creator we put our trust. We face the homeland dreaming of loved ones. The evening shadows fall about us, life's pathway has many wrecks, hardships and burdens are many and often griev-

10 THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS SERMON In the contest between the prophet Elijah's God and the four hundred fifty priests of Baal, as recorded in the eighteenth chapter of first Kings, Elijah built an altar, likewise the priests of Baal. In verse twenty four, Elijah challenges the priests of Baal: "Call ye on the name of ycur gods and I will call on the name of the Lord, and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God." Last Sunday morning Rev. Hulme called our attention to the fact that both altars were no doubt quite similar in construction and appearance, also, both offerings were the same. But only on Elijah's altar and offering did the fire descend. Now it is Christianity that claims to supply the fire. Unless there is fire in our worship, the altar we build, the churches we have, are just piles of stone, nothing more than ornaments and club houses. In those days (and the application is still true) the only way that the priests of Baal could supply the fire was by friction. On the other hand in Matthew 3:11 John speaking of Jesus says: "He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire." Only the soul that is activated by the Savior in this way can become a savior of men. Baal worshippers (and many there are in our churches today) do not have the fire, the Holy Spirit, in other words that intense enthusiasm, the zeal, the action, the Holy Peace that characterizes one who has been born again and is now living in and with Chr'st. Only formalism is the part of Baal worshipers. Death awaits them and their religion. OUR GREENHOUSES Are Filled With Beautiful Chrysanthemums VISITORS ARE WELCOME! Silver Lake Florists WA-8914 But to live and grow and bear fruit we must have the first that comes from Jesus Christ thru the Holy Spirit. Otherwise the altar we build, or, our church building, like that of the worshipers of Baal of old, is nothing more than a pile of stone, or a mere clubhouse. P. T. A. What promises to be one of the most interesting programs of the year will be held by the P. T. A. next Tuesday, November 14th, 7:30 p. m. in the high school auditorium. Music will be furnished by the High School male quartette. Following this part of the program Miss Stuttle and her staff of teachcrs with & number of pupils from the Goodrich School for Deaf and Dumb will give a demonstration of their work. A large attendance is desired. The room having the most parents present will receive a prize. With this meeting the P. T. A. membership drive closes. A prize will be awarded the room having the highest percentage of parents who are paid up members. CECIL A. REARICK Instructor of V O I C E Inquire at Isaly's Stow

Any pastor that preaches for practically nothing for several years and gives most of that which he does get to aid the building fund and reduce the debt of the church, as does the pastor of Stow Community Church, certainly must have some of the Spirit of the Lord witlr'n.

10 10 THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS THE TOUCH OF THE MASTER'S HAND 'Twas battered and scarred, and the auctioneer Thought it scarcely worth his while To waste much time on the old violin, But he held it up with a smile. "What am I bidden, good folk," he cried, "Who'll start the bidding for me? ' Half dollar a dollar, then two, only two "Two dollars, and who'll make it three? "Going for three" but no From the room far back, a grayhaired man Came forward and picked up the bow, Then, wiping the dust from the old violin, And tightening the loosened strings He played a melody pure and sweet As a caroling angel sings. The music ceased and the auctioneer, With a voice that was quiet and low, Said, "NOW what am I bid for the old violin?" And he held it up with the bow. "A thousand dollars and who'll make it two? "Two thousand and who'll make it three? Two thousand once, three thousand twice "And going and gone," cried he. The people cheered, but some of them cried, "We do not understand. "What changed its worth?" Quick came the reply, "The touch of the Master's hand." And many a man with life out of tune, And battered and scarred with sin, Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd, Much like the old violin. A "mess of pottage" a glass of wine, A Game and he travels on; He is going once, and going tw^ce, He's going and almost gone! But the Master comes, and the fooh'sh crowd Never can quite understand The worth of a soul, and the change that's wrought BY THE TOUCH OF THE MAS- TER'S HAND. Selected.
