SUNDAY SERMON
The subject which Duane Earl Cart
er chose for his Sunday sermon was
“God’s estimate of humanity as soon
in the Bible.” The scripture lesson was
vend from the first chapter of John’s
gospel. John was the mystic among
the gospel writers and shows evident
truces of Greek thought'poS&ibly de
wei from Philo, a Hellenistic Jew
bo> n about 20 B. C. The text may be
found in the first chapter of Paul’s
letter to the Ephesians which in a
modern version reads as follows: “He
chose us as His own in Christ before
the creation of the world, that we
might be holy and without blemish in
his presence. For he pre-destined us
to be adopted by Himself as sons
though Jesus Christ.”
“We speak of the brotherhood of
man,” said Rev. Carter, “but when we
^look back over the history ot the
world and note how man’s inhumanity
to man lias caused countless thousands
to mourn, we see that the true broth
erhood of man has not been carried
out in practice. By dwelling upon this
unfavorable view we are apt to be
come discouraged. It is necessary,
therefore, to go back to God’s idea of
man ami his destiny. The inspired text
says that God chose us as his own be
fore the creation of the world; that
/
man, in order to come uo to God’s est -
mate of him, must choose to do right
and act justly, must of his own free
will accept the conditions whereby he
may become holy and without blemish
clean in body, mind and spirit, and
►thus pass from the class of God’s
creatures, because cieated by him, in
to the class of God’s true and loyal
th Idren imbued with the spirit of
Christ Thus, and thus only, can the
brotherhood of man be established and
God’s estimate of humanity be brought
to fruition.”
