2 CALVIN SYNOD HERALD CAN ONE BE A CHRISTIAN WITHOUT...? Can one be a Christian without attending public worship? Yes, it’s possible. It is something like: A Student who will not go to school. A Citizen who will not vote or pay taxes. A Soldier who will not be in an army. A Salesman with no customers. An Explorer with no base camp. A Seaman without a ship or crew. An Author without readers. A Businessman on a deserted island. A Tuba player without a band. A Parent without a family. A Politician without voters. A Football player without a team. A scientist who does not share his findings. A more important question: “Why would an individual not want to attend and worship if he (or she) is a Christian?” Either to receive or to share. From—The Plymouth Herald, Plymouth Congregational Church, Seattle, Wash.—in the Newsletter of St. John's, Nazareth, Pa. ^jf-a it L It can’t be bought at any price, Nor can it be forced on one; It can’t be stolen by a thief, Nor can it be overdone. WHAT WORDS MEAN In this mixed-up world, where it seems that some people think that LIFE LOVE HERO JOY ANGELS SAINTS MASTER TRUE REVEAL THE REAL THING SOMETHING TO TRUST SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN ... is a magazine ... is a cosmetic ... is a sandwich ... is a detergent . . . are a Baseball Team . . . are a Football Team ... is a credit card ... is a cigarette ... is a plastic wrap ... is a soft drink ... is a gasoline ... is a car And followers of Jesus are called freaks.

It cannot flourish in the proud, Nor live within the Godless; It can’t be given as a gift, Without it life is worthless. It will survive all suffering, And can’t be killed by torture; It lives within the prison camps, With hope the inmates nuture. It can belong to rich and poor, The humble and remorseful; Blossoms in a forgiving heart, The loyal and the thoughtful. Faith is there in the soul that’s blest, By the everlasting God; It gently leads the life of man, An unseen divining rod. Margaret F.
