ATTITUDES CAN KILL TEXT: 1 John 3:14, 15. We know that we have passed from, death unto life, because We love the bretheren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever haleth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in SUBJECT: When the Love of God Prevails In Us, Anger and Mate Cannot Remain. Basic Commandments Concerning Respect for Human Life.

l.The act of murder. Exodus 20:13. 2. Regarding evil thoughts. Leviticus 19: 17, 18.

3. "The Lord shall reward thee" for kindness toward our enemies. Proverbs 25:21, 22. II. Jesus Interprets the Old Testament Command.

Matthew 38-48. l.The sin of anger. Vs. 21-24. 2.

The basic law of doing good instead of returning evil for evil. Vs. 38-42. 3. Jesus expands further this Christian attitude toward our enemies.

Vs. 43-48. III. The Right and the Wrong Attitude of a Man To- we are Christians. I John ward His Brother.

1. How we may know 3:14. 2. To hate another is to be guilty of murder. I John 3:15.

3. God so loved us he gave his son that we might live. I John John 3:16. 4. True love for God will result in love of one for another.

I John 3:17, 18; 4:20. 21. A man's outward acts are controlled by his inward emotions. If a man controls his temper he will control his hand from violence. Is it right for a man to defend himself if in so doing he kills another to save his own life? Is war justified if it prevents our homes from being destroyed by the enemy? Is capital punishment justified? Which would save more lives, to execute one murderer or let him go free after a light setennce and he murders others? What would your answer be if he murdered one of your family? It is possibe for us to keep the LETTER of the law and yet violate the spirit and intent of the law.

I never meant it as a lousy, antireligious thing," apologized Beatle John Lennon. He attempted to explain Thursday night his remarks about Christianity, which set off boycotts and bonfires in the United States.

The main thing, Lennon said, is that he was misunderstood. "I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying," he told a news conference. "I was sort of deploring the attitude toward Christianity." He added: "From what I've read or observed, it (Christianity) just seems to me to be shrinking, to be losing contact." Paul McCartney added: "And we all deplore the fact." Lennon said he was "worried to death" about the controversy aroused by his statements that he Beatles "are more popular bhan Jesus" and that "Christianity will go." Some U.S. radio stations have janned Beatle records since Lehnon's remarks were pub- "We've never met him," answered McCartney. "He seems to be doing all right."
