Reverend and M rs . V icto i
R. Brown are now pastoring
the Community Church of God.
at 202 N .E. Skidmore. The
objective of the Community
Church of God is to lire ac­
cording to the Commandments
of C h ris t as taught in the
New Testament, to preach the
simple and entire gospel of
salvation. C hristian life and
C hristian duty at home and
abroad, to encourage and ad­
monish each to mutual e d ifi­
cation and C hristiikeness.
Reverend Brown said. " I t
seems to me, that in spite of
an apparent weakening of the
home life of Am erica that the
home is the most powerful ed­
ucational institution and the
parents are the true teachers
of th e ir children. Therefore
we must not fa il to give d ire c­
tion
and
inspiration
fo r
C hristian homemaking.
"W e wish to help our
church, community and our
neighbors form C hristian at­
titudes toward others, and to
take th e ir rightful share of
responsibility fo r the welfare
nf every group to which t!«y
-elong. We also aim. with
Sod's help, to guide our church
and community to bring ar
ethical and sp iritual impact
on the society in which we live.
We must bring into action the
teachings of Jesus concerning
social contacts and social du­
tie s. We must bring our mem­
bers to the consciousness that
they,
as C hristians, are
responsible fo r the sins of
th e ir society as well as fo r
th e ir own sins.”
You are invited to come and
worship with us.

Soul Purpose
THE GREAI AGE
By Chuck Singleton
This is t l * great Atomic
Age, an age of much pro
gress. th e re have been more
inventions since 1901 than in
all the eons and years p ro ­
ceeding this century.
I his is the age of commun­
ication. We have tlie tele­
phone, telegraph and tele­
vision. yet in this age of mass
communication how many peo­
ple do you really know???'»
One by t l * radar screen,
the other by the r.V. screen,
hut m issile s are guided and
men are misguided.
We've teen to t l * moon and
back, several t in * s o v e r.D is ­
tance is no longer measured
by miles but by tim e. You can
eat breakfast in P aris, lunch
in New York, then dine in Los
Angeles.
A man pilots a giant 747
across the skies, hundreds ol
big-looted |*o p le walk around
in that plane, but he has it
fe lly under control. Yet. w l*n
I * steps off that plane if you
step off that plane on his foot
after a long flig h t . . . I *
can't control his own tem per.
It makes you wonder, who's
the boss, me o r t l * machine,
me o r the atom ic age.
Yet in the m ist of it all
tt * r e remains .1 fragment of
hope that a man can {«come
and remain a real man in this
w orld.
It was Thoreau who said,
" I f a man does not keep pare
» ith his companions, perhaps
it is because I * bears a d if­
ferent drum m er. I et him step
to the music whici I * hears,
however measured o r fa r a-
w a y."
Soon it w ill l*com e a ne­
cessity that men listen fo ra
liffe re n t drum m er. Not inly
to retain his individuality, tu t
also to retain his sanity .Jesus
said. " I t is to your advantage
that I go away; fo r if 1 do
not go away, the C om forter
shall not come to you. tu t if I
go, I w ill send Him to you."
1 I * very S p irit of tie liv ­
ing and alive God can live
in me and com fort me through
tie tra ffic and t l * stoplights,
past the tra ffic iams, up and
down tie elevators. Praise
God, w ith Ills S p irit in me, I
can s till he me.
Zest of Life
why DOES GOD PERMIT
INNOCENT LIT T L E CHILD­
REN TO DIE? Here we come
face to face with an onigme
of good and e v il; of God's
goodness and of God's jus­
tice! L ittle children do die
all kinds of strange and hor­
rib le accidents, disasters,
house fire s , floods, and d is ­
eases.
I f human beings lived only
one lifetim e upon earth, as
most C hristians believe, it
would be next to impossible
to discern God's goodness and
justice in alt m atters. A l­
though most C hristian theol­
ogians and teachers evidently
have not found it there are
more than a dozen Scriptural
passages in the Old and New
Testaments confirm ing the
doctrine of reincarnation; and
even C h ris t spoke of it and
confirmed it on more than one
occasion. He said that John
the Baptist was E iija (Elias)
returned to earth; and proph­
esied he would return once
more to "re s to re all th in g s."
M a tt. 17:11-12.
Young's A nalytical Con­
cordance of the Bible. Pg.
1086 states: "Z acharias, the
son of Barachias (of Jehoiada;
II Chron. 24: 20-22; whom the
Jews stoned fo r rebuking
them. B.C.
840." Jesus
d ire ctly accused these men
of slaying the p rie st prophet
who lived 840 years before
C h rist.
If these scribes and P hari­
sees who stoned the p rie st
had died as little children by
rocks fa llin g on them in an
avolanche; o r other ways
would not people wonder, " I s
God good and just to perm it
such innocent little children
to be killed like that?” These
are cases we know aboutfrom
the Gospels. Even John the
Baptist lost his head by the
sword because he slew priests
of Baal in his life tim e as
