Christ In My Community
s
I purpose in the next twenty (
minutes to give you an idead of
the social implications of the pow- h
er of Christ and the Christian In- j
stitutions in my community. fi
~ Definition ' ' 't
By the phrase "The Power of t
Christ" I mean the love of God. o
By "Christian Institutions" I mean F
those institutions established and t
maintained under Christian influ- ?
ences. _ By the term "community" h
T ? il.A ?t. I!-- - it. ?
k mean viiuau who live in ine same <
locality and are surrounded by the
same environments. In a lifited t
u sense my community is the south- j
ern portion of the United States in a
particular, and the United States n
in general. ' j : T
In the Gospel recorded by St. P
John, Chapter 3, verse 16 are the v
following wbras: "For God so lov- v
ed the world that He gave His on- a
ly begotten Son that whosoever be- ^
lieveth on Him should not perish ^
but have everlasting life. "Love <which
should exist between the v
races of mankind is of great value. p
It is said that the reason why love ^
is of so great a value is because s
there is so little love in the world.
Ether, a medium that is supposed n
to fill all space, even that occupied p
by fluids and solids, the scientists p
say, may be condensed to a volume f
less than that necessary to fill a t,
" tea cup; yet they say there is less h
love in the world .than there is eth- t
er. 1^ Jesus' Christ the love of a
God was all compact. His life in d
the world soon convinced man that f
He was the Son of God, full -of- -*
grace and power. a
. *" . i!
Christ's Program 0
' In riermon on the Mount He n
annuonced that the Kingdom of J1
Heaven was at hand and gave the
Divine Constitution for the right- 0
eoug government of the earth. *
_ . This^serman is-said-to^be pure hrsr x
and transfers the offence from the
overt act to them motive. ;
This was not acceptable to the j,
~JeWs who had reduced righteous to n
a mere ceremony and the Old Tes- a
tament idea of the Kingdom to a f
y mere outward, splendor and power, d
They should have known that on-. F
ly the poor in spirit and the meek v
could share in this kingdom. It is J
always true that the poor in spir- i>
it rather than the proud are bless
ed. a
This may not be acceptable to C
many, who in our day profess the o
love~bf God, but it is. law and not i
a choice* It i?~ a fundamental e
principle and not theory. It is a h
few that rises above Einstein's (
theory of relativity like-the moun- v
taips rise above the plains. These ?

and the foundation of our !.
institutions. Concerning flimself,
He said," "I am the light of the ?
world." And to His followers. ^
"Let your light so - shin?-- before ^
1.- men that they may see your good
works and glorify your Father
which is in Heaven.'^,. It was not n
necessary to organize a church, or- j,
dain officials and to write sermons t
for Christ to be seen, felt and j1
known. "Like the rising sun He r
shines more and "more." His bril- v
liant life has been recalled by His n
Apostles and Disciples in biograph c
ies and theologies. 1,
The "Power of Christ in my K
Community" is demonstrated bv ..
the love of the Christian believers f;
who form a part of the communi- ^
ty. The extent of this power is |j
contingent upon the united efforts
of the Christians within the com.
munity for good. In a limited
sense my community is Baltimore, (j
State of Maryland and the south- a
em portion of the United States.
In the State of Maryland we { ',
,have a population of 1,631,526. p
1,354,710 are of European descent. ^
276.379 are of African descent and j.]
977 may be classified as other rac- c
es.^The City of Baltimore where I y(
live, has a population of- 804,874: u
-427^72 whites. ?Ne- T
groes, 160,342 are mixed. , 74,410 r
are foreipmers. These figures.rep-. ^
resenting these races bring us_fai^ -p
to face with the prohlerrrrthat con- ^
__?frentrttfiT^world." How may one p
live at peace with his neighbor? c
How may these people live con- jj
tent with small means? How may v
these people seek elegance rather c,
than luxury"? How may these ?

fashion? How mav these he wor- I ^

According to the Statistical Ab- 8
8tracts of the United States Com- 0
merce Department of f934, there e
are 52 Protestant denominations
in the State. In the City of Bal- ^
timore there are 685 churches. Of n
this ihla number 825 are White, \\

While Christian institutions
ave exerted a powerful influence
n the southern portion of the tinted
States and the power of
/hrist has been acknowledged and
he effect of His love is seen, yet
here is st+H a great need of the
Id fire of consecration. President
Lobert Hutchins, in an address to
he graduates of the University of
Ihieago a few days ago said, he
ad no fear of their economic fuure.
"I fear, for their morals."
There has been much said about
he NRA by politicans, priest and
mists, duc mere is ong_t.hinir we
11 must admit: the 'NRA took
nany poor girls and boys out of
He factories and sweat shops and
laced then in schools and colleges,
/hile their fathers and mothers
rere given,the opportunity to earn
nd provide for them. With the
IRA came many relief agiences
.hich made many feel that " -hpind
thg.se agencies was the Ron\)f
rod manifesting . Himself. Along
/ith the N"RA came to our sorrow
erhaps our shame, the repeal of
he 18th Amendment to the-Gontitution
of the United States .
It seems that in many instances
t is difficult in my community and
erhaps yours, to practice what we
reach.. Floyd Tillerjr said he
ound it very difficult to love all
f his neighbors* or to lote any of
is enemies. Instead of doing good
o those who despitefully use you,
nd loving those Who hate you, it
oes seem that the contrary is the
act. To many it is rather trouble

The power, of Jesus Christ

Immunity, the nation arid, the
rorld. It has taken hold upon im
gination of men and is" leaping
Pom one social group to another,
n earlier days it spiff th" Roman
Impire and changed the thoughts
f its army. It revitalized the
hilosophy of the Greeks and pave

It was not long before the influnee
