“ The C lu rch With A H e a rt-F e lt W elcome"
Methodist £
Zest of Life
By Carnegie "Happy” Pullen
MINISTER DIED FOR THE
WRONG CONCEPT OF THE
GOSPEL.
About th irty-five
years ago, a m inister, 1 be
lieve It was a Methodist pas
tor, in M issouri, had a strong
faith in C h rist, but was much
concerned because he wts
unable to work any of the
m iracles of C h rist.
This m inister was much
impressed by the quotation
of Jesus In the last chapter
of The Gospel of M ark, as
follows:
“ He that believeth
and
is baptized shall be
saved; but he that believeth
not shall be damned.
And
those signs shall follow them
that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils’
they shall speak with new
tongues; They shall take up
serpents; snd If they drink
any deadly thing, it shall not
hurt them; they shall lay hands
on tl» sick, snd they shall
recover,”
M ark
16:1618.
According to M ark these were
the last words of the risen
C hrist before "H e was re
ceived up into Heaven.
My whole compreîension of
the Message of Christ in the
Gospels is that to truly be
lieve in Christ means to
believe In Him enough to be
lieve His words are ture.
And If we study His words
carefully we know that fol-
lewers
and disciples are
commanded to obey "every
jot and title " of His instruc
tions.
M an 5:17-20; M a n .
7:21-26; M a n . 28:19-20. To
believe that Jesus C hrist Is
the Saviour, and not believe
that He spoke the words of
God, the Father, gave Hun
to speak to men as Imperative
instructions for them to obey,
is a paradox and a travesty.
This m inister, although he
believed, evidently believed
SELF-CORRECTING
TYPEWRITER RIBBON!
C. B le n d e r *
I talked for weeks with
a successful journalist who
lad been the sports editor
of one Kentucky newspaper,
tlie editor of still another.
He knew the Kennedy’ s and
tlie Roosevelts and seemed
quite successful In his
field. Yet his life was as
ragged as a jilted pimps
pocket hook.
He was on
tlie verge of his second
divorce.
He was trying
desperately to embrace the
affections of his children
without much success. T l«
fact was “ the man knew
how to make a livlnfc but
he didn’ t know how to liv e ."
Peter and John, two
disciples of C hrist, walked
past the beautiful gate and
stumbled
upon a lame
i«gger who sought financial
and.
Many people had passed
this man and given him
silver ang old coins hut
they’ re coins never met
his real t«ed. The man
wasn’t hungry, he was
crippled.
Like the many
thousands of handouts black
folks receive from bene
volent agencies, tlie gift
never changed his position
but simply placated him
in his present position.
But P e t e r
and John
looked at the man and said,
“ sliver and gold have 1
none, but what I do have I
give unto you. In the name
of Jesus of Nazareth, rise
up and w alk.” (Acts 3:16).
It might serve well for
many of us church-going
Christians to observe that
when the church was able
to say “ silver and gold
have I none" it was also
able to say " in the name of
Jesus of Nazareth, rise
up and w alk".
The divorce rite In this
country rose to 11 divorces
fo r every 17 m arriages.
In one area of sunny C a li
fornia there are 4 divorces
fo r every 3 marriages and
I haven’t managed to fit
that together yet.
In today*s world it's quite
conceivable that If God
let’ s the affluent society
’ •slide’’ he must apologize
to Sodom and Gomarrah.
Tlie confusing society Is
confronted by a questioning
black man who wants to
keep up with tl« Jones' as
long as 1« doesn’ t l»ve to
process his hair.
Many
brothers and sisters w ear
Afros but are still deceived
into thinking that a Cadillac
and twenty-grand Is suc
cessful living.
Somehow
many black
folks, college-age like my
self have been tricked Into
thinking that banks and
finances, homes and lands,
pots and pans, are all the
solution fo r us. But the
proof is in the puddin*,
because you see tlie white
community has banks and
finances, homes and lands,
pots and [»ns and they’ ve
got psychiatrists on every
c o m e r.
DAY CARE MOTHERS
There have been a number of
these “ Pied Piper” lawsuits in
which n street vendor has been
held liable for templing a child in
to jeopardy. However,some courts
have rejected such claims, at

come into Ihe picture.
Consider another case, also in
volving injury to a youthful ice

according Co the "least car
nal denominator" found in the
doctrines
of the Apostle,
Paul, namely, he had been
convinced it was not neces
sary to obey fully the com
mandments and sayings of
Jesus.
The m inister announced to
his congregation and to his
fam ily that he would go on
a hunger fast until such tune
as he was able to work
m iracles. Newspapers pub
lished the account of his de
cision to fast, until death, If
necessary in order to receive
from
God the miraculous
“ signs following,” as evi
dence of his faith.
The m inister retired to his
home and family and the
new spapers reported the death
of this fasting m inister.
Long ago God had said,
"Y o u r inequities have se
parated between you and your
God, your sins have hid his
face from you, that He w ill
not h ear."
Isa 59,2. And
Jesus stated plainly:
"And
why call ye me Lord, Lord
and do not the things which
I say?”
Luke 6:46.
Ap
parently this m inister did not
give proper consideration to
these significant words of
Scripture;
such
as moat
m inisters and Christians to
day fail to do.
Ignoring and disregarding
the words of Christ is dis
obedience; and disobedience
is sin. which is the "tra n s
gression of the law ;"
be
cause C hrist's words are the
w ill of God, and they are the
law.
"H e . . . that reeeiveth not
my words, hath one that jud-
geth him:
the word that 1
have spoken, the same shall
judge him in the last day."
