THIS WEEK’S SEBMONETTE
,, SPIRITUAL MATURITY
1 : t- By Ralph Burke, Pastor
First Methodist Church
Most of what is said here is based on Hebrews, chapter
six.
Millions of Christians are making the mistake of
assuming that at the moment of their conversion they have
reached the heights of the Christian stature to which they
had any right to aspire. They make no pretense of “going
on to perfection.” The thought that they are “babes in
Christ” (see Hebrews 5:13) does not trouble them.
The resistance some congregations show toward all
possibility of growth is nothing less than shocking. Godly
people who insist that their physician shall be a man of the
latest scientific training are sometimes heard to complain
bitterly if their preacher (a surgeon of souls) betrays any
evidence of having studied the Scriptures beyond the stric>
limits of their understanding.
The author of the Epistle to the Hebrews is pleading
with his readers to “leave the elementary doctrines of
Christ” was not even thinking that they should abandon
the basic Christian beliefs. Instead, he was undertaking
to lead his readers forward from a solid base of Christian
thinking to the maturity of spiritual powers to which, as
Christians, they are entitled to aspire.
An elderly Christian arose in a testimony service one
night to say that he had not changed a religious opinion in
thirty years and had not read a religious book in all that
time either. “I do not want to be disturbed in my faith/’
he said. And he thought he was declaring his devotion.
But, suppose that, in the presence of modern medical
practice, he had declared that he was still using the poltices
his mother had applied when he was a ten-year-old, and still
wearing a little bag of asafetida suspended about his neck.
He thought he was proving his faith. He was only revealing
the fact that he had not achieved Christian maturity. He
would have been a problem to the author of Hebrews, as he
was actually a problem to his pastor.

A LITTLE GIRL’S PRAYER
Daddy, if you know we’re
hungry,
Know that we are very
poor,
It must break your heait in
Heaven
’Cause you never did insure
Mama wonders why you did-
n’t save
The dimes you threw away
But you felt too strong and
healthy
For insurance, people say.
You were taken without
warning
Leaving us to fight alone';
You’d have taken out insur
ance
Daddy, if you’d only known
’Twasn’t that you didn’t love
us,
I recall how dear you fere,
But your little girl must suffer
’Cause you failed to save
for her.
Mama just can’t make the
living,
She is wearing out she said.
I shall have to miss some
schooling
For the sake of daily bread.
When she’s gone, I guess
they’ll take
Me to a place of charity
To be fed and cloehed, but
Daddy,
It can ne’er be home to me.
Mary’s Daddy left insurance
And their home will still be
there.
They’re not hungry and some-
times Mary
Gives me cast off clothes
to wear.
They don’t have to take in
sewing.
For her Daddy left insurance
But you didn’t, Daddy,
Why?
