No. 41 HOW FAITHFUL ARE YOU, SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER?
In 1915 Leon Trotsky——noted leader of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, attended Sunday School in Chicago with a friend.
The teacher did not arrive to teach his class that morning and unfortunately, had not notified anyone of his intention to be out. Trotsky walked away from that Sunday School Class and as far as is known, never attended another one. Two years later, he was intnsley engaged in the Russian Revolution which brou4ht the Communist regime to power.
One cannot help but wonder what effect that Sunday School teacher might have had on the world events had I fulfilled his responsibility by being present and teaching his class the Sunday Trotsky visited.
Joseph Stalin, who caused so many millions of people to die, was sent to study to be a priest in the Russian church. It had become so worldly and corrupt that he rebelled and turned to communism as a way of life,
Mahatma Gandhi, who was the leader of millions in India, studied Christianity when in England, bu rejected it because Christians didn’t live up to the teachings of Jesus.

POWERS LINES
Thanks to all of you men who helped make Men’s Day a warm hearted, happy9 refreshing experience. Gods’ presence was very real to me and my soul was blessed.
I want to express my sincere appreciation for the Men’s Choir. Their very presence, as well as their enthusiastic singing, added a big plus to the services.
Keep on praying for the Pulpit Committee0 God is already answering your prayers for them and will continue to do so.
There are some exciting days ahead for First Baptist Church and I want to encourage your faithful attendance, you inviting others to come with you, your involvement in the total life of the church and your daily prayers for fellow members.
See you Sunday,
Ven 8. POWeM

Two Teen—Agers Grew Up in Dallas, Texas. Both were rough and troublesome. A faithful Sunday School teacher contacted one of them every week for a year. Another tea— cherfelt they did not need that type boy in his class. The first lad was saved and is now Florida Baptists Secretary of Evangelism. The other assassinated President John Kennedy.
Mr. and Mrs. Sunday School Member: It does make adifference when you cometo Sunday School.
