By MRS. WILLIAM ROHDE
Many people attcndcd the Palm
iunday church. service, on Sunday
norning. Rev. Teddy Smits was in
:hargc of the scrvicc.
There were tight young people
oincd the church here and four at
3Iimvillc namely: Deanne Lee Bal-
antync, Gregory Brian Lamport;
Cobert Andrew. Passmore, Thomas
)avid Passmore, Tanya Melissa
tichl, Danny William Rohde,
rayne Eloise Rowe and. Jeffrey
)Mayne Rowe.
The four at Elimville wcrc Susan
CatlilcenGrubb, Sarah Lceannc Ker -
Make, Tina Louise Taylor and.Tobi
_yn Taylor.
The choir sang two Easter an -
hems accompanied by the organist
Niss Agnes Bray.
The two Easter lilies on the plat-
brm were presented by the United
Thurch Womcn and two Azalea
Tants were placed there by the fam-
ly of the late Gordon Stone who
kissed away 10 years ago on March
46. Mr. and Mrs. Bud Rice (nee
Dianne Stone) and family attended
he scrvicc on Sunday.
Barry Jeffery read the Scripture
.csson.
On tate occasion of Palm Sunday,
vhen 12 young members were re-
eivcd for the first time into full
nembcrship, the Rev. K. Teddy
;mils spoke about the cost of disci-
'leship. The text was taken from
it. Mark 8:34b. "II anyone wants
o come with mc," he told them "lie
nust forget himself, carry his cross
utd follow me".
There is in the gospels a story
'bout a rich young man who told
csus that he wanted to join as' a
lisciplc. When Jesus told him that
t would cost him all he had, he
tuietly Icft in great haste. For he
ould not really part with all his
omforts in life!
Many people don't mind being a
;hristian as long as it is painless.
t must fit in with our plans and
Ther priorities, and, if not, we have
D be excused.
A young German minister, Die -
rich Bonhoeffer, happened to be in
he U.S.A. as a guest lecturer when
he war broke out. Friends told him
o stay on as a lecturer. But he said:
sly task is in Gcrmany among my
:hurch people! He returned on the
ast sailing to Germany. He spoke
rot against Hitler and his anti-
';hristian measures.
One day he was arrested, and on
!aster Day 1945, after conducting a
service for his fellow prisoners, he
OS removed, from the prison and
hot. He paid with his life for his,
liscipleship! How much is it worth
o us 10 be a chprch member?
