P ortland, O regon!
remind you that any of your
committees, including the A l
bina M ln ls te ila l Alliance, can
make plans with tie Park Bu
reau for this kind of program
ming.
In response to Rev. Jack
son’ s and Johnson's le tte r, I
would like to state that 1 feel
no amount of money could le
consklered " r i o t Insurance"
nor do I feel that we should
plan In a negative way. We
must he positive ami put to
gether good preplanning In
every area.
W 1th this in mind, M r. Bogue
held an executive committee
meeting yesterday to make
some decisions tegardlng the
use of some money which we
have leen given as “ flexible'*
money. A t this time. In addi
tion to the Park Bureau funds,
it was voted to give tlie Albina
community, through you ami
the Albina Committee, an al
location fo r $3,000 to better
plan what you can do to work
out programs fo r tlie 14 and
older youth fo r this summer.
M r. Bogue felt that you, as
tire chairman of the area com
mittee, can best formulate
plans; and he would like to be
kept informed on your p ro -
giammlng.
I am sending a copy of this
letter to tlie Albina M in iste r
ial Alliance. Additional fund
ing fo r the summer piograms
has been coming In very slow
ly, but Marlene Stewart w ill
contact you In a day o r so to
announce that programs can
also le starter) fo r tlie younger
children as e a rly as the la tte r
part of this week.
If you need additional Infor

Jesus C hrist was the purest,
highest and most visible mani
festation of the Godhead ever
to v is it this planet earth. He
submitted H im self to human
birth and became a flesh and
blood man, thereby Identifying
H im self with humanity. Hewas
perfectly obedient to the w ill
ami word of God; responding
to and harmonizing perfectly
with the w ill of God until the
very S p irit and Presence of
God, the Father, dwelt In Hun
ami radiated out from Him lo
do mighty miraculous works
In the w orld.
Jesus so united Himself to
God, the Fattier, by His total
obedience and responsiveness
to God’ s S p irit that He could
say, " I and the Fatherareone
. . . And he that hath seen me
hath seen the Father. . .
“ Bellevest thou not that I
am In tlie Father, and the Fath
e r In tne, thewords I speak un
to you I speak not of m y s e I f,
but the Fattier that dwelleth In
me.
He doeth the works.
“ Believe me that la m in the
Father, and the Father in me;
o re ls e believe me fo r the very
word’ s sake.
“ VerUy, v e rily I say unto
you. He that helleveth in me,
the works that I do shall he do
also; and greater words than
these shall lie do; because I go
unto my Father.
"A nd whatsoever ye shall
ask In my name, that w ill]d o ,
that the Father may be g lo ri
fied in the Son.

the Holy w rit itse lf began by
announcing the divine plan and
the theme of our Lord and Sa
vio r, Jesus C h rist. We think
of the highway that Isiah was
talking about. This highway of
holiness, wlien he stated that
tie re would be no uncleanli
ness on this highway. Itd id n ’ t
only mean the men of yester
day, but the men of today as
w ell. As Isaiah stated, a high
way shall be there and a way.
And it shall be called the way
of holiness. The unclean shall
not pass over it but It shall be
for the wayfaring men, though
fools shall not e r r therein.
If thou would enter into life ,
keep the commandment, “ be
honest with th y s e lf." The key
is this, Jesus said lie has left
an example to r us to go by.
Walk ye therein. Man has been
able to cope with every prob
lem of life , except the facts of
coming to Jesus as he is. In
the crucial state of the world
today, we need to go back to the
old landmark, back to th a tsa lt
God has styled us as. We need
to get new salt. Instead of tr y
ing to use that old salt over
and over when it has no savor
power.

Honesty is a small word, but
so important in lives. Through
our efforts of fast living, man
has forgotten die necessity to
1« honest with h i m s e lf .
I hrough this, we have come up
with so much dishonesty In
ourselves diat we look at ev
eryone with a suspicious eye.
We examine ourselves In our
church today, and as we look
over our church and see so
many empty pews, we fail to be
honest enough within our
selves to know that without the
(«Ip of God, man can do noth
ing within him self. We look at
our way of walking, talking and
fighting each other, and then
we go Into the world and tell
diem to come in and serve this
G ul I'm serving. Tlie world is
asking us a question. Is it real
ly this God you are serving
causing you to do some of the
things you are doing? . . .
causing you to say some of tie
things you are saymg?God an
swers that question in the Holy
w rit. He styled us as the light
of the world, as a man being
a light that sets on a h ill that
cannot be hidden, by letting His
light shine leforem an. And lie
styled us as salt of the world.
But when salt has lost Its sa
vor, it Is fit fo r nothing but to
le trod under tlie foot of man.
Then we have lost our saving
power. But there is a key to
tie problem of the spiritual
society that men are doing to
try to uplift the name of Jesus.
That old time religion, the re
ligion that James was speak
ing of undefied before God and
has turned us around and
created In us a clean lea rt, and
a right mind and renewed our
s p irit, not wisdom and fo lly of
this world, Put happinesswith

" I f ye shall ask anything in
my name, I w ill do it.
" I f ye love me keep my com
mandments." John 14:9-15.
At another place He said,
" V e r ily , v e rily , I say unto
you. If a man keep my sayings
he shall never see death.'*
John 8:51.
"B u t if thou w ilt enter into
life ,
keep the command
ments.’ ’ Matthew I9;l7.
The Apostle Paul was in
spired to say concerning Je
sus: ’ 'ln H im d w e lle th th e fu ll-
ness of the Godhead b o d ily."
C ol. 2:9. Paul also wrote:
"Though He were a Son, yet
learned He obedience by the
things which He suffered; ; And
being made perfect. He be
came the author of eternal sal
vation to all them that obey
H im ." Heb. 5:8-9.
Apparently C hristians have
not yet suffered enough to
learn this great lesson. Since
Jesus C h rist was the highest
manifestation of God of which
we have direct knowledge. His
model heavenly conduct must
le our constant glorious Ideal
ami Goal - the model and ex
ample we must continuously
strive to emulate. His words
of supreme excellence: the
very sublime wisdom of God,
the Father, given to man In the
"Gospel ot the Kingdom of
Gtxl,” In the Red Letters of the
four Gospels, Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John, fo r our salva
tion, transform ation andglor-
flcatlon; we should by all
means, and at all times, ami in
every way possible, strive
above all things to obey lnev-
ery detail - "e v e ry jo t and t it
tle " of His commandments and
Instructions.
His words, above all other
words should he on our lips;
His precepts should be our
■
rule of life; and His commands
*
and Instructions should be the
source of ourgreat joy, and the
perfect law of our lives and
conduct. We must also s trn e
at every moment to become the
perfect example, the emulator
and manifestation of the most
perfect Divine Incarnation we
can become. He has com
manded, "B e ye therefore
perfect, even as your Father
which is in Heaven is perfect.”
M an. 5:48.
"And every one that is per
fect shall be as his M a ste r."
Luke 6:40.
He said, "H e that sent me is
with me, the Father hath not
left me alone, because ldo al
ways those things that please
H im ." John 8:29. Thiswasthe
secret of C h ris t’ s Infinite
heavenly and earthly power.
We can attain to such power
only by walking in His way.By
total obedience to His words
and example we likewise ob
tain God’ s absolute Divine
protection, eternal youth and
health, the joyful ecstasy of
the Heavenlv life; im m ortality
of the body, and Mastery over
all Circumstance.
