no excuses for inviting you and
will not Admit that you are making
any concessions to us by coming.
W« believe we have wiiHl you need
and you personally will be the
gainer. Let is time for spiritual
refreshment. Just as the old Anglo-
Saxon word implies, it means
spring time, springtime for spirit-

life. Therefore the Church offers
you an extra weekly worship serv-

God, we need Jesus Christ, for

Aristotle, tht- ancient Greek philo-

thinking more than any other un-
dent heathen philosopher, testifies
to this fact. He fully acknowledges
his dependence upon God to help
him in this mess of sin in this sin-
ful world. This heathen crie in
the agonies of death "A wailing
babe came 1 into the world; in
trouble and sorrow have I passed
through it; and now 1 go I know
not where: Oh. cause of all causes,
have pity upon me."

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
N. A. Woods, pastor
The world is perishing today, in
the darkness of sin, looking every-
where for a "man with a light."
We as Christians have that
*.10 HT. It is Jesus Christ. May
God help ua to let our light shine!
J. Edgar Hoover, head of the P.
B. I., declared the other day in an
address that a return to God and
the practice of religion is the
greatest need of America today.
Commenting on a tremendous in-
crease in crime, particularly among
juvenile groups, he asserted that
crime thrives "only in that coun-
try, state or nation where the moral
fiber and resistance are weak." He
also declared that "the home and
its teaching of proper conduct have
broken down in America" and that
"the message of the church is not
reaching enough people."
When such sentiments and con-
victions are voiced by laymen of
such position and power, it be-
hooves us as Christians to wake up
to some of the practices going on
in our own community. God is try-
ing us in the fire in these days
and our conduct reveals our char-
acter. Unless we who name the
name of Christ stand in the gap
nH "mk" "p «h* Hedge against th«
inroads of sin and moral disintegra-
tion, our children will face a chao-
tic world of such proportions as
we never dreamed of.
"Now therefore fear the Lord,
and serve Him in sincerity and in
truth: and put away the gods
which your fathers served on the
othi r side of the flood and in
Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. And
i' it seem evil unto you to serve
the Lord, choose yuu this day whom
ye will serve hut as for me and
my house, we will serve the Lord."
Joshua 24: 11, 15.

WHY WE SHOULD ATTEND CHURCH
The Church is the symbol of that which is good and pure.
It is the place where man is privileged to attend and hear
the Word of God. Surely the Word of God should be de-
sired above all other words.
The Church is the instrument in God's hand to bring the
wicked to repentance, and prepare us for our Heavenly
home. Hebrews 9:27: "And as it is appointed unto man
once to die, but after this the judgment."
Let us attend Church regularly that we may help to clear
the world of sin, and be ready when the Judgment comes.
riJ Are cordially invited to attend
Sunday School and worship service
every Sunday.
Attend the church of your choice.

Methodists To
Observe Week
Of Dedication
At the altar of the First Meth-
odist Church next week, members
will pledge rededication of "self,
service and substance" to the war-
time taks an;' opportunities of
Christians, as the culminating fea-
ture of the denomination's nation-
wide second annual Week of Dedi-
cation, February 27 to March 5, it
was announced today the Rev. W.
D:\rwin Andrus, pastor of the
church.
Nearly 8,000,000 Methodists will
take part in the observance in
42,000 churches, where they will
"renew their covenant with God
and give of their substance to
building His kingdom in the hearts
and lives of men, "states Bishop
Haul B. Kern of Nashville, Tcnn.,
chairman of the national committee
for the Week of Dedication.
::A world at its worst calls for
a church at its best" is the general
theme for the entire week. Daily
prayers on the part of individuals
will emphasize the place of the
Church in the present world emerg-
ency as related to the home, the
community, "the world task," and
"its source of power."
Methodism's "mobilization of its
spiritual resources" will culminate
on Sunday, March 5, when men,
women and children will make per-
sonal commitments of dedications
and contribute to a sacrificial, vol-
untary offering. The Rev. Grover
C. Emmons of Nashville, executive
secretary of the committee for the
Week of Dedication, states that the
offering will lie used to carry on
war emergency projects, including
(he following:
Expansion of missionary work in
Latin America, aid to missionaries
in invaded countries, spiritual min-
istry to members of the armed
services, relief for war refugees,
new buildings and workers for
Christian services to "dislocated"
families in war industry communi-
ties, and special aid to Methodist
schools. None of these projects are
provided for in the regular church
budget.
"The church stands in the midst
of a world surrounded by perils
and full of possibilities," declared
George C. Fall, in the lay address
to the First Methodist Church last
RwJpy; uepxutfi
ance of the Week of Dedication.
"Christian people are backing the
hoys and girls on the fighting
fronts, promising to work, pray
and plan for a peaceful and neigh-
borly world in which all peoples
may live as brothers. Methodism's
Week of Dedication gives our peo-
ple their opportunity to rqtledi-
cate themselves to this cause, spir-
itually and financially."
Special services in the local
church on Sunday morning and
night, February 27 and March 5,
will feature this ob« rvance.
