If we have forgotten what E meant us to be in Christ, or Be members of a church which has ^Kyed from the true and living Bv, this lesson affords an opportu^ y for penitence and works meet reunto. H<he true Christian life must have , Sin Forgiven anil Ltife Trsns^Kned (I John 2:1-6). Eot only at the beginning of the Brishan life is sin dealt with end K away, but day by day?yes, mo nt by moment?we have the ^ ansing power of the blood of our ^ mc Advocate. ^Khis is of the utmost importance, God can only use clean chanfor the outgoing of His power K grace to the world. We know own weakness and the defiling sence of the world. But unlike unregenerate man, we do not ^Bmit and go down; we turn to ^Kst for forgiveness and cleans he transformation of life which ? comes to the believer is shown Kbedience to the commandments ^Kod. In the early church there ^ rc those who said that if they only ^Keved in Christ as Saviour it made ^ difference how they lived?and ^ y have their followers in our day. K sure of this, the essential thing christian profession is not how talk about Christ, but how you k in obedience to His command^ eai Christianity will cause us to Hated by the World and Loved ^ thc Brethren (I John 3:13-18). Bho world, that is. unregenerate nk:nd. hates a genuine Christian matter how kind and loving he ' be. Why? "Because the Chrisbeliever gives the non-believer ^ uncomfortable sense of inferiori The presence of high Christian ^ als in marked contrast to his own ^^Bsh policies arouses his anger resentment" (Douglass). he presence of a clean, godly ma community makes every ier look that much blacker, and world, the flesh, and the devil do everything possible to break and destroy such a testimony, ^e, as Christians, should not be >rised that the world hates us. we should be troubled if it $ not hate us, for if our Chris^ w really means anything, it is ^ astcful to a God-hating world, ^^ are if sinners find nothing in life which distresses them and victs them of sin. the midst of enmity the Chris is r.ot afraid, for he is i. Indwelt by God and Unafraid Bhe World <1 John 4:15-17). sincere confession of Christ as ^our brings a man into that close tionship to God which is exin the words, "God abideth and he in God" (v. 15). ^ ? full depth of meaning of these ^s is obviously beyond our lim understanding, but we accept fact by faith and rejoice In it. recognize that it means that we I brought by our faith in Christ, ^ ^the very center of God's love, ^ ^t, the well-beloved Son, who ^ >ds in that blessed place, draws jto the circle and there we stand f3?urcl|' ' A NNOUNCEMENTS Bethesda Presbyterian Church Sunday, Juno 20, A Douglas McAin, pastor: Church school at ton a. m. with a Bible class for every age.

By Rutll Taylor Over my desk I tt^yeja motto which Is to me a dally reminder of what Is needed in these trying times. Let me share it with you. "Why were the saints, saints? Because they were cheerful when It was difficult to be cheerful: patient when it was difficult to be patient, and because they pushed on when they wanted to stand still, and kept silent when they wanted to be disagreeable. That was all. It was quite simple and always will be." The days of the saints are not past. The need for saintly people was never greater. The tragedy of defeat brings its own courage for moments of crisis, but the road upward to victory is honeycombed with pitfalls for the un~ Goofs love showed itself in the giving of His Son as the Redeemer of the world. It was and is unselfish and sacrificial devotion to the eternal welfare of those who merited only judgment. We do not love until we reflect that quality in our lives. Such love casts ouWear. Fellowship is impossible in an atmosphere of fear, but love rules it out. In Christ we realize that God first loved us, and then our hearts go out. in warm devotion to him. Not only does the Christian no longer fear the day of judgment, but he is unafraid in the present evil world. This is not because of his own strength or ability, but because through faith in Christ he is "in God," and "as He is, so are we in this world" (v. 17). No more perfect or blessed ground of assurance could possibly be provided. Let us recognize our position in, Him, ^and be strong and unafraid. Type of Letters To Write Service Men ? y...
