REPORT OF THE SERMON "BAPTISM OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT" DELIVERED AT THE
CHURCH OF CHRIST SUNDAY EVENING
.. .............. .......4
By MILTON' W.
Many opinions are held as to the
baptism of the Holy Spirit. There is
consequently a great deal of confu
sion irj the popular mind in this re
gard. We will here make no attempt
to deal with the claims or the exper
iences of men but will try to fil.d out
what the Book says. We should all
bo content to abide by the Word.
The prophet Joel foretold the bap
tism of the spirit. Joel 2:28-32. John
the Baptist foretold it. Mt. 8:11. Je
sus foretold it or promised it. Acts
1:15; John 14:26; 15:26; 16:7-15.
It came to the Apostles on the day
of Pentecost. Acts 2:1-21. It ful
filled the prophesy of Joel, said Pe
ter. Acts 2:16.
It's purpose was to give "power."
Acts 1:8. To bring the sayings of
Jesus to remembrance. John 14:26.
To guide the apostles into all tiuth.
Jchn 16:13. Having power the apos
tles were able to perform miracles,
speak in a language they had never
learned and give spiritual gifts unto
others. Remembering the sayings of
Jesus they were able to use them in
their preaching and also to record
them for the blessing of all others.
Being led into all truth they have
given us a complete revelation of the
will of God. But notice that all
these things having been done once
need never be done again. They
were done once for all.
The New Testament records but one
more case of the baptism of the Holy
Spirit, the recipients being the house
hold of Cornelius. Read the story in
the tenth and eleventh chapters of
Acts. In this case, however, there
was a different purpose, namely, that
of convincing the Jewish church that
gentiles were to become Christians
on the same terms as others. But
BOWER. Pastor
notice sgain that this being once
demonstrated need never be proved
the second time in the same manner.
So we are not much surprised that
we do not find another case of bap
tirm of the Holy Spirit recorded in
the New Testament.
But there is also confusion as to
miraculous or spiritual gifts. These
were imparted by the laying on of
the Apostles' hands. For example
read Acts 8:4-20, noting particularly
the seventeenth verse. They were
not imparted to all Christians but to
a few who were to be leaders. In
Jerusalem, the seven. Acts 6:6.
Twelve men at Corinth, Acts 19:6.
These special, miraculous gifts
flayed a very important part in the
early church in the absence of the
written word but were to be sup-plint.-'l
and displayed by the written
word. When that "which is perfect"
or complete as opposed to their par
powers expressed in their particular
gifts is come. - To find the basis for
these conclusions read I Corinthians
12, 13, 14. As to the temporary char
acter of spiritual gifts notice I. Cor.
13:8-13.
Besides the baptism of the Holy
Spirit and the spiritual gifts which
as we have seen did not survive the
apostolic age there is also the gift of
the spirit to be noticed. It was giv
en to those who obeyed the gospel.
Acts 5:32. It is for all to obey even
today and includes all whom God
calls. Acts 2:38, 39.
The Spirit is to be an indwelling
guest in the heart of the Christian
(I. Cor. 6:19) to bring forth the vir
tues of the Christian life. al. 5:22,
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, meekness,
self-control."
HEALTH EDUCATION
A SCHOOL FUNCTION
From State Board of Health.
The principle of compulsory edu
cation has been accepted by all en
lightened people as just and neces
sary for the maintenance of our civil
ization. Society recognizes that a
boy or girl without schooling soon
accordingly offers them such educa
tional facilities as will prepare them
for useful lives. There are yet a
few people who prove satisfactorily
to themselves that if the school
teaches the youngster the three " Rs
it has fulfilled its obligations, and
has given society an intelligent as
well as useful member. Nothing can
bo further from the truth. A thor
ough knowledge of the three Rs is
necessary, but, in itself, will never
make a complete man or woman. If
civilization is to advance, nay, if it
is even to remain at its present level,
the school must teach the beauty of
art and literature, the harmony of
music, the facts of science and the
wonders of nature.
In broadening the mental- outlook
of the child the school must not ne
glect its physical development. Lop
sided individuals too much mental
ity, insufficient physical development,
or too much physical development
and insufficient mentality may be
useful but are not always dependable
members of society. The school is
the most logical agency for the train
ing of the child in physical as well
as mental discipline. Correct health
habits may be acquired by imitation.
When teacher suggests that teeth
are not quite so clean as those of
other pupils, the culprits will be cer
tain to use the brush more vigorous
ly. Will a parental admonition get
the same result? Hardly. Parents
may not be willing to admit it, never
theless it is true that children in the
acquirement of knowledge will more
frequently heed the advice of teach
er than obey the command of parent.
The teaching of health knowledge is
as logical a school function as the
teaching of arithmetic, and is so rec
ognized by leading educators. The
schools which have been recognized
as among the best are those where
the health of the child is given care
ful attention and supervision.
In the modern school the physician
and the nurse have supervision over
the health of the child. They detect
remediable defects and advise parents
concerning them. In accordance with
etate law, and acting for the school
board, they may exclude from school
all pupils afflicted or exposed to any
communicable disease. By regular
and careful examination they can pre
vent the occurrence of an epidemic.
With the consent of parents they may
give tests and treatments so as to im
munize the children to certain com
. municable diseases, such as smallpox,
diphtheria and scarlet fever. The
school physician and school nurse at
tempt to maintain the pupil at his
highest physical efficiency, thereby
enabling him to make continuous
progress in his studies.
It is fortunate both for the child
and for the school that organizations
such as the Parent-Teachers Asso
ciation recognize the importance of
health education. Education costs
money. Sickness and disease also
cost money, and at times, lives. Is
it not economical, is it not wise to
maintain children in the best of
health, and prevent loss of school
time and school funds? Thinking
parents will insist that health edu
cation be definitely recognized as a
school function.

are drinking unfiltered water, which
warms with animal organisms. You

them."

a cemetery."

"Who told you that? I am not go

"Congratulations!"
BONUS LEGISLATION.
Much legislation tending toward
the betterment of the ex-service men
has been passed by the various state
legislatures since the boys came, home
and the need of support in some way,
from the government, becomes appar
ent. Oregon has been one of the
leaders in this U-yi station, and an im
portant act of the last legislature
was a bill introduced by Legionaire
McCourt which provided an appropria
tion of JOUOO.00 to be used in various
branches of service work in which the
American Legion is interested.
Legionaire McCourt also introduced
another important bit of legislation,
which amends the state bonus act.
Under the provisions of this bill, the
date in which initial application for
the bonus may be made is extended
to June 30, 1930. It also provides
new methods of repaying the bonus
on the part of those who have taken
advantage of its provisions.
Two bills were introduced into the
senate which have to do with the re
lief funds and guardianship matters
in which the Legion has control .
The state legislature has been very
generous in its actions toward the
American Legion, and although Con
gress in its last session neglected to
pass many bills of material benefit to
the members of the Legion and to
veterans of the World War who are in
the hospitals, it is hoped the next
session will see some important ac
tivities along this line.
Billy Padberg was in town Tuesday
and says that the crop situation out
his way could not be much better.
The Padberg ranch will turn off a
heavy yield this season.
