PAGE 14-PLAINDEAIER-FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1972 Richard Blundell and Mrs. James Bover discuss the Illinois District convention of the American Lutheran church, which they will attend Aprir25-27. Church Sends Representatives To Convention Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green street, McHenry. will be represented at the Illinois district convention of the American iAJtheran church by Richard Blundell, James Boyer and Pastor Roger W. Schneider The twelfth annual convention of the Illinois district will be in session April 25-27 at the Pere Marquette hotel, Peoria. Bishop Elmer A Nelson, 1908 Weeg Way, Park Ridge, in announcing the conclave, said that the featured speaker will be Dr Kent Knutson, Bishop of The American Lutheran church This is Dr. Knutson's first official visit to the district since his election as the church's chief executive officer in 1970 l)r Knutson, after he has presented his formal "State of the Church" report, will con­ duct informal off-the-cuff question and answer sessions with both Jjie clergy and lay groups Dr. Knutson says that he hopes, through this mutual exchange, to help the "man in the pew" better to understand the programs and directions of the National Church body as well as he will be able to get a The Bible Speaks Virgje L. Chappell, Pastor First Baptist Church, McHenry THE HOLY SPIRIT "And I will pray the Father and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive..." (John 14:16, 17a KJV). Jesus Christ had just announced to his disciples that he was leaving them behind. He explained that he must go "prepare a place for you..." (John 14:2 KJV). The disciples' first question was, where are you going? The thought of Jesus leaving them, so soon after beginning his ministry, was almost more than they could accept. But at this point the announcement of the Lord was not so much to say that he must leave them, nor that he would return for them. Instead his emphasis was upon the coming of the Comforter, whose coming was to replace his own presence and was dependent upon his own leaving. "If I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you". (John 16:7 KJV) Jesus identified the "Comforter" explicitly as the Holy Ghost. "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father shall send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all thirds to your remembrance, whatsoever, I have said unto you" (John 14:26 KJV). Because of the concepts which usually ac- company the word "Ghost", we would prefer to use the name, Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ, in his resurrected body sat and ate with the apostles that they might not think nf him as a ghost. (Luke 24:36 f f ) . Notice that the Holy Spirit, though not received by the world, indwells within the believer; "he dwelleth with you and shall be in you." (John 14:17b KJV). Therefore we recognize the Holy Spirit to be no less than God Himself, indwelling within every believer. Notice also that Jesus Christ refers to the Holy Spirit in the second person The Holy Spirit is "He". He is divine, and as divine, may be sinned against, (see Ephesians 4:30-32; Acts 7:51; 1 Thessalonians 5:19; Acts 5:1-11). The work of the Holy Spirit is broad but Jesus condensed it into three basic areas. He is to convict the individual of personal sin against God. He is to reveal righteousness and justice to man and He is to lay upon each heart the knowledge that God will be and is today the sole judge ctf mankind. (John 16:8ff.). Perhaps the most beautiful truth concerning the Holy Spirit is that through Him one can truly experience the reality of "abiding in Christ" Jesus said, "Abide in me and I in you" (John 15:4a KJV). It is only through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit that we are able toexperience "abiding in Christ". Jesus said, "He shall not speak of himself ..(but), he shall glorify me" (John 16:13,14). Jesus also said, "Behold 1 stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him ..(Revelation 3:20 KJV). So we see that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Holy Trinity, is a very treasured presence for us today. In several places, the apostle Paul refers to Him as the earnest (down payment) from God to us for heaven' (2 Corinthians 1:22, 5:5; E p h e s i a n s l 1 3 . 1 4 ) . r clTp""rmT coiTpo ?711 PHILLIPS LIQUOR STORES | PAUL MASSON !

I I I I I I feel for the grass roots con­ cerns The 1971 convention unanimously authorized a $150,000 fund-raising campaign for capital improvements for the Community Lutheran church, 1701 West Monroe street, Chicago, and the Lutheran Family mission, 1700 West Monroe street, Chicago. Pastor David Quill, St Mark's Lutheran church, Mt. Prospect, chairman of the fund raising committee, will present a favorable progress report. Pastor Quill states that the volume of dollar response is indicative of the district's positive response to the inner- city needs for adequate program facilities. The cam­ paign concludes Dec. 31. Another inner-city concern, which will be on the agenda, said Samuel Richardson, executive director, the Lutheran Family mission, will be broadening of the base of support of his agency's programs. According to Richardson, the more adult educational programs for practical living management thatcan be offered, the greater is the chance to break the vicious repeating life cycle of the ghetto. Favorable action is expected to this proposal. The mushrooming drug addiction problems will be brought to the 500 delegates by Robert E. Johnson, educational director for combatting drug abuse of LaSalle county Johnson's program is spon sored by The Illinois Law Enforcement commission. * A n i n t e r n a t i o n a l l y recognized theological scholar, Dr. A C. Piepkorn, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo., will present "Lutheran and Catholic Dialogue." To add a musical touch to the routine agenda proceedings will be "The Happy Wan­ derers". This husband and wife duo, Gospel Singers Fred and Pat Haynie, will assist during the devotional periods as well as in the convention breaks They will also appear at the convention banquet. In addition to acting upon the reports of its seven committees and seven commissions, and special committees, the agepda calls for the election of district bishop, nominations for secretary of the American Lutheran church, and the election of delegates to the 1972 biennial convention of the American Lutheran church, Minneapolis, Minn. Two hundred and sixty congregations comprise the membership of the Illinois District, with 265 pastors on its clerical roll. The district is one of eighteen geographical districts. Its boundaries include the state of Illinois, the majority of the state of Indiana, and the greater metropolitan area of St. Lous, Mo.

But, anyway, it isn't true. The older I get the more I realize that there are some who can tie their own neckties but still aren't men. Maturity is not measured by what you can do. It is measured rather by your reasons for doing--or not doing--things you can do. Think that sentence through once more. Your son will become a man when he has sound reasons for doing one thing and not doing something else, even though he could have done either. It is in the character-molding and spiri­ tual growth which the Church provides that both youth and adults discover the soundest motivation of life. In worship and religious training we embrace the reasons that will prompt our courageous decisions as Chris­ tian men and women.
