THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS Vol. II Friday, January 18, 1935 STOW, OHIO No 3

MINISTER'S C O L U M N

, bong ago in a far off land a voice rang out, calling people to repent,'" for spoke the Voice, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand." TiU3 yes, for this Voice closeid the eld dispensation and the curtain rose on the new. Judiaism ended aniJi Christianity was a fact. Some-thing about the Voice that haunts me, Father 's voice, yes I recall it and mother's too. I have wander-dd^far and near yet I hear no voice like theire.

I read again from Old Book, "Aril they shall hear my voice." Did you ever hear His voice? To my thousand readers in Stow, you, sir, have heard that loving voice and many of you knew it not. O tide- rf the years in my solilquy I hear the voices of .playmates, friends, associates, voices "in song, in laughter, in prayer. Voices of praise, of warning, of counsel^ of encouragement. Voices' come to me across the silence of the years, friendly voices they i are. Some-times depressed, sometimes lone-ly, sometimes -in slumber, when the curtains of night have gather-' eid us tenderly in its arms for rest. Voices, yes, voices of other years they call to us again.

Now hear, my brother, I'm in earnest. If you have ears, let the Voice speak to you. You will

never doubt my Gotd; if you will listen for His voice. L.et Him speafe to you. Can you find any greater leader in the Bible 'story unhenored by a* spoken word of the Diety? You just don't know His voice.

This day of civilization has so enmeshed itself, so snarled itself in a web of down rright wicked-ness that they cannot interpret Jesus the Christ, they know not

AG-od's voice. Churches Qften are neitheV a light nor a voice. We rrust lead them back to the trail. Then listen, my friend, listen eagerly for the Voice. He may co'i vrur name. Hear then the Voice in the land of Stow.

Don't sneer, my young friend, there is much for you tb lear n in the supernatural. * Don't pass it by as unworthy of your super-knowl-edge because you have never tar-ried in fields of, metaphysics. iDon't pass it up by saying you are 'busy or not interested. I charge the lart 1I of Stow, beautiful for situation the promised land of Summit ^County. Yet,, sir, you stand indicted under the test of the sweetest ami most loving voice

. ever to fall ou the ears of a care-less folk. The great teacher has said, "If any man will hear my voice, I will come in to him."

F r i e n d ' ^ S e r v i c e S t a t i o n P. WILLIAMSON, Prop.

s.or of Stow for running away to other cities to attend church. I court criticism, corrections or sug-gestions from any of pur readers. I receive them kindly and retain the name in confidence. The let-ter .states ycu have lived in Stow seven years, that- no one visited you in seriouk sickness of .seven weeks duration, that the churches never showed themselves 'friendly, that now you attend church in Ak-ron, and that the ministers and curch members are responsible/ No doubt that your statements ar,e cold facts, I offer no apology for •cur churches.

Churches often leave undone im-portant things, they blunder and neglect, to their . shame,, in the King's business. My own heart often aches because of tasks left undone. It is hard to understand how serious sickness could blight

a home in Stow for seven weeks and no minister and no church member com© in to visit, to say a prayer or offer aid. I pray that high heaven and the one ofEen'ded will forgive us all. Now, churfh folk, never again let such a seri-ous charge be scored against us. This is a lesson to each o£ j i s for a renewed consecration in the la-bors of our Lord. One word more, inv friend, when sick you call the 'doctor, call also the minister, a deacon or deaconess. You may command them aliytime. In ' this busy life we don't, always know until we are told.

It seem.s as though the rumors of the 'swell' hikes are., a little ex-aggerated. Not more than 5 or 6 boys have been present on the last 3 hikes. Attendance should be not less thia.n 12 or 14 instead of 5 or '6. However the boys a re do-ing very well. Parents urge your boy to be a Boy Scout.

ago our printer Mr. Howe .in show}-in.g a visitor around the dark cor-ners of his shop pointed out an old motor of ancient design, which he had secured when he bought out a print shop ye'a.rs ago. Also in one of his jout-buildings there was an internal combustion engine of the Deisal type prqlba'bly twenty years of age. The old engine weighing prclbably three quarters of a ton, had a cracked water jacket, and was in gen'eral disrepair. 1 These two machines Mf. Howe offered to sell fo r$5.00 each.
