Counted. Neither apologize for your
faith. Never be ashamed of your | s
church and your Master.
A young man joined a church in
Cincinnati. He worked upon a: river
steamer. His pastor went with him to
the boat the day aiter his baptism,
“Now, John,” he-said, “don’t disgrace | r
your Master on this trip. Remember
you will have many temptations.” Five
weeks later the lad showed up at
church. “Well,” said the minister, ‘did
you disgrace Christ?” “No,” said the
boy, “nobody knew that 1 Was a Chris_
tian.” Such behavior is too common.
People do not know whether we are
Christians or not. There is nothing
distinctive in our language, attitudes or
actions. “Give a reason for the hope
that lies in you.” It is too bad ‘that
the testimony meeting has passed out.
It was a wholesome exercise to have to
stand up in a meeting and tell what
Christ had done for one. Sometimes
the testimony became weird and fanci-
ful, but, in general, it was all to the
good. One’needs to take sides, to take
a stand, to make an affirmation. There
is something to be said for the definite
conversion. Too often, when a child
simply grows up into a certain church,
never is conscious of any change of
heart, or of direction of goal, the whole
church relationship is somewhat unreal.
It lacks definiteness, meaning, joy, pur-|
pose, objective.

’ TOPIC FOR MARCH 19
EVERY JUNIOR A CHRISTIAN
2, What It to Confess Christ
Acts 5:17-32
The saners Acts 5:17-32. Instead
of merely reading these verses, let the
superintendent or other leader para-
phrase them and tell them in story form,
The incident: is really a very dramatic
one. Moffatt’s Translation of the New
Testament will be in making the mean-
ing clear, and Hurlbut’s Story of-the
Bible gives a narrative story of the
sort which may be told to Juniors.
Participation. This is a topic on
which the Juniors cannot take part free-
ly without special help both in advance
and in the meeting. There are given
below some suggestions for the leader's
use of the topic, and for the Juniors
T points will need extension and
working over so that they may become
helpful as different Juniors plan their
parts in the meeting.
Points of Interest in the Topic
In its simplest form what is a con-
fession of Christ? It is for one persor
fo let other persons know that he ha
y decided to live as a Christian and
to do Christ’s work in the world. Thi
may be done by word of mouth, to one
person or to many; it may come by the
no more. Tears humanize the soul
*|Tears are God's telescope through
whieh we see far into Heaven. Tears
outward practices which are followed,
of regular church attendance, Bible
study, prayer, and mingling with Chris-
tian people. The confession may also
be made by the inner features of one’s
life, by faith, patience, mercy, kind-
ness, sympathy with the distressed
service to the unfortunate.
The Christian Endeavor Society pro
vides many chances for confessing
Christ. To sign the pledge is to con-
fess Him; to wear the pin, to attenc
regularly, to take part in prayer and in
the speaking times in, the mectings
to serve on the committees, and to do
‘the things which may be counted a
deeds for Christ,—all L these are to con
fess Him.
The Juniors Taking Part
An interesting feature of the meeting
‘might be a series of talks on the sub
ject “The Best Way to Confess Christ,’
each of those speaking taking some
different method and pointing out the
Teasons why it is best.
First Juniof? It seems to be clear
hat the best way to confess Christ is
to declare it. That is what most peo
Ple do. They stand up before the con
Sregation when they join the church
land say “T am willing to be known as
@ Christian.” They sing the hymns
Which tell of their love for Christ. It
1s easy and it is effective to keep saying
hat one is a Christian.
ee ae. T believe that there is
etter way than merely using words.
phat I propose i is that all people shall
onfess Christ by coming right out in
ding church every Sun-
ney for every good cause,
choir, and being on hand

THE CHRISTIAN RECORDER
CHRISTIAN ReconneK PULPIT
(Continued from page 6)
“Every man’s life is a plan of God.”
“Our life is simply a little gleam of
time between two eternities.” Carlyle
said: “Life is a series of surprises.”
“Life,” said Goethe, “is the childhood of
immortality. ” And Jesus said, “I am
the resurrection and the life, he that
believeth in me though he were dead,
yet shall he live.” Then let us dry our
eyes.
But after all, there is a’sacredness in
tears. They are not the marks of
weakness, but of power. They speak
more eloquently than ten thousand
tongues. They are the messengers of
grief, of deep contribution, and of un-
speakable love.
Washington Irving said: “God washes
the eyes by tears until they can behold
the invisible land where tears shall come
are the softening showers which cause
the seed of Heaven to spring up in the
human heart.” Oh! for a state and
place where we will be free from trou-
ble and sorrow. That place is Heaven.
Longfellow reminds us that, “There is
no fireside however defended, but has
one vacant chair.” Cullen Bryant in
his last moments whispered, “I wish I
had ‘the power of writing or speaking,
for I would then describe to you how
pleasant a thing it is to die.”
* —Derby
Someone has said:
“It may seem strange to us that this
life ends
When there is still so much we want to
do,
So many plans to make, so many
friends,
So many dreams we want to make come
true;
And yet we know that death can only
give
The gift of life eternal-ending never,
Where we may PLAN and WORK and
GROW and LIVE
Triumphantly, foreyer and forever!

I wonder sometimes in the church

after.

Third Junior: There is a third way t
confess Christ that will go farther than
either of these others. It is really te
apply the teachings of Christ in the
smallest things of life, and of course it
the large ones too. For instance, if a
Christian worked in a store and had the
chance to give the wrong change to
a customer, or to put a false weight or
price on an article, he just wouldn’t do
it, because Christ has a better standard.
When one could win a game by cheat-
ing, or gain some advantage by telling
an untrue story about someone else
either act would be unthinkable for
Christian.
Questions to Be Answered
1. What is the simplest confessior
of Christ a boy or girl can give?
2. What are the benefits of frequen
telling about one’s love for Christ?
3. What are some of the ways ir
which we can confess Christ withou

Bishop Grant was tried, his iron frame
a beacon or signal-light, preparing the
way to Christ and guiding men and
women on their way. He was a close
student of the Bible, sweet singer, and
profound intelligent gospel preacher
He enjoyed preaching, because he felt
that “Every being is a moving temnle|
of the infinite” and should be saved. He
was much beloved by all classes of peo-
ple. The daily thought of this able
pupiteer was, “Tf I can put one touch
of rosy sunset into the life of any man
or woman. I shall fee! that I have worl-
ed for God.” “Precious in the sight of
the Lord js the death of His saints.”

AN RECORDER
BISHOP OF ARKANSAS —
J. A. GREGG
When re-arranging the episcopal as_
signments following the death of Bishop
R. A. Grant, the Bishop gave the sup-
ervision of Arkansas to Bishop John A. |
Gregg in addition to the Fourth Epis- |
copal District.The combined districts
will have 81 yotes in the 1940 General
Conference. Bishop Gregg is an eadti-|
cator and the interests of Shorter Col_
lege will not suffer, He is Secretary |
of the Council of Bishops.
of the Twin City A. M. E. chorus, un-
der the direction of Mrs. Mabel Mc-|
Gavock Lewis, with Mrs, Berth Lewis
King at the piano.
In addition to the fact that she has}
some unustially fine material to work|
with, Mrs. Lewis is obviously a well
trained musician herself. She has pre-
cise objectives in manipulating the en
semble, and obtains. precision of re-
sponse. It is not often that a choral
director succeeds so well in holding the
attention of individual members to a
single purpose, and keeping them so
diligently aware of the guiding hand and
eye.
The entire program was composed of
Negro spirituals, several of them new
to me, and all in carefully selected ar-
rangements.
it is only through such programs that
they can be properly heard. Most non-
Negro singers are disappointing when
they enter this field. As for
couragingly prevalent blues, torc
oth
the inimitable—that is, the timbre of the
Negro yoice—their cheap vulgarization
of the real thing is shown up in all its
flimsiness by such a genuine presenta-~
tion as that Tuesday.
An interesting foreword dealing with
the animating religious spirit of
music heard was offered by Rev. Ge
ald L. Hayden, pastor of St. Jam
Church, who added some subsequent
Solo-
the
comment on Negro work songs-
lists of the program, both in a featured
and an incidental included
Mrs. Winona Jenkins, contralto; Mrs.
Alma Freeman, soprano; Robert Harris
and Johnnie Waters. Perhaps the most
memorable work of an individual sec-
tion was contributed by a group of re-
markably fine bass singers. At least
two were true contra-basses
The entire ensemble, however, handl-
ed with real skill a series of songs which
included (as an opening theme song)
“Let My People Go,” “Nobody Knows
de Trouble I See;” “My Lord, What a
Morning ;” “Hear de Lambs a-Crying;’
“Keep Inching Along;” “Old Ship of
Zion;” “Seek and Ye Shall Find;”
“Water Boy;” “Study War No More,”
“Lord, I want Two Wings;” “A Little
Talk With Jesus ;” “Music in the Mine,”
an interestingly descriptive item by N
thaniel Dett; “Hold the Wind,” “1
Want to Go to Heaven When I Die”
and “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.”
