Today, Father, give us a recollection of the promise of the
Lord that those who do service to others in His name, serve
thee. Help us not to despise the worship of daily Christian service,
in the name of Him who had not where to lay his head.
Blessed is he who considers the poor!
The Lord delivers him in the day of trouble;
the Lord protects him and keeps him alive;
he is called blessed in the land.
Psalm 41:1, 2
Sometimes, in the hustle and bustle of daily life we are tempted
to look for only our own interests. This is probably not often
from conscious selfishness, but more frequently from failure to
be thoughtful. But in so doing we neglect one important part
of worship.
There is a recurring theme in the Bible, both Old and New
Testament, that worship is not simply pious thoughts in the mind
or praises sung with the lips but aid offered with the hands.
Everyone remembers the great judgment pictured by Jesus where
the sheep and goats, the saved and the rejected, were evaluated
on the basis of their service to others in the name of the Lord.
James reminds us that “religion that is pure and undefiled before
God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their
affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world” (James
1:27).
The hymn by Washington Gladden recalls that the life of Chris-
tian service is to be in imitation of the Lord. In such service
we worship as did Jesus. And in such service we worship in
a way that is personally encouraging and is a living witness to
the depth of our belief. But who can bear the strain called forth
by such service? Haven’t we all known Christians who gave
themselves literally in service to others, often at great personal
expense of time, money, and often health? Of such people we
ask ourselves, “Where does she get the strength to do that?”
The hymn also reminds us that there is a secret that helps Chris-
tians bear the strain of toil. Couldcit be the words, “He who
would be first shall be last, and servant of all”?

TOTTLEBANK, England —
A book of minutes from the
meeting of the church of Christ
in this little town near Ulver-
ston in the Lake District of Eng-
land, testifies that the church
met regularly in an upper room
of a building still standing,
according to Ken Chumbley.
One page of the book says
“The 18th day of ye sixth
month, called, August 1669. A
Church of Christ was formed
in order and sate down together
in the ffellowship and order of
ye Gospel of Jesus Christ. Att
the house of William Rawlinson

Larkham, Pastor off a Church

Sturgis is about 35 miles north
of Rapid City and suffered
much damage. Engineers were
working as late as Monday to
prevent another dam from
breaking and flooding the city
all over again.
The church in Sturgis meets
in the home of Phil Potter. They
have an average of about 30 in
attendance. They do have plans
for erecting a church building.
Potter did most of the plans and
blue prints himself saving the
church about $2370.00. Con-
struction was to have begun on
the building, but there was no
word if work had actually
started. They have a gospel
