As the twig is bent, so grows the tree." [Bell ringing] Today we are centering our attention on children and the children's choir is providing special music for our worship service. They began in the early service

00:15:47.880 - 00:16:28.740

today and continuing in the 11 o'clock service. As we think about our message, the subject of it is cross winds, cross winds. Would all of you repeat that after to me cross winds cross winds say it again cross winds all right. Did I hear you all down here? All right all right. Now once there was a family taking a trip they were going out west

00:16:28.740 - 00:17:10.360

They had not traveled in the western part of this country before, and before they left on the trip they were given a word of advice by a friend. This is what the friend said, "When you see the sign cross winds. Be very, very careful. When you see that sign, cross winds are strong winds in the course of your journey. Be on the alert. Be careful. They really

00:17:10.360 - 00:17:42.280

didn't understand what this friend was talking about, what was involved in crosswinds. So as they made the journey with their trailer going west they traveled for many miles. They saw nothing that suggested crosswinds. They saw no such sign as they traveled until they came to a place not too far after they

00:17:42.280 - 00:18:15.020

left Carlsbad, New Mexico. Then they saw the sign crosswinds. So they began to drive a little slower. They reduced their speed to around 50 miles an hour. Then as they traveled a little farther they saw a sign again, crosswinds.

00:18:15.020 - 00:18:36.620

So the speed was reduced to a little under 50 miles an hour. And as they continued to drive the winds began to blow and beat against the car, against the trailer, and

00:18:37.380 - 00:19:10.360

the trailer trembled tremendously in that wind. In fact, if they had been traveling at a much higher speed, the shock of the winds may have well caused the driver to lose control and to drive off the high cliff that was nearby in that area and their lives would have been lost. But they were careful, they

00:19:10.360 - 00:19:47.960

obeyed, and their lives were saved. Well I think that's what parents say to us many times when they say be careful don't do that. If you do that you're going to get in trouble. That's that sign, crosswinds. Sometimes we don't know why, but it's important that we obey. In Romans, the Word of God says the wages of

00:19:47.960 - 00:20:26.440

sin is death. That's a warning sign. It's like saying be careful, beware, crosswinds. Because when we do wrong, when we go in ways that God does not want us to go, do things God does not want us to do, we are failing to follow the advice of the crosswinds, of being aware of the crosswinds. So if you and if I am to grow in the way that God wants us all to grow, we must beware,

00:20:26.440 - 00:20:47.740

we must be careful, we must be obedient to God, we must be aware of the dangers, the temptations that await us, beware of the crosswinds. And if we are aware of the crosswinds, then we can travel safely and arrive home. God bless you and keep you.

00:28:15.620 - 00:28:56.220

Our church is supported through tithes and offerings. We would be faithful to God's commands. It means that we do not just give God what we may have left after we've done everything else but that we would put God first, we would set aside a certain amount in keeping with his guidance as expressed in his word. Honor the Lord

00:38:49.720 - 00:39:05.000

It's very important that all of us who possibly can will attend that meeting if you're concerned and I trust that each of us would be concerned about the future of Austin and how it may affect us.

00:39:05.000 - 00:39:28.580

We are planning a homebound day for the last Sunday in June. A homebound, all of those persons who are homebound, we are putting forth a special effort to have them in the services. We will have a service which will be focused on the homebound.

00:39:28.580 - 00:40:05.220

And Brother Alfred Dotson, who chairs the committee of our Tate Ministry, is the chairman of that committee and the persons who are to serve with him. [Unintelligible] I'd like for you to meet for just a few moments following the benediction with Brother Alfred Batson,

00:40:05.220 - 00:40:54.720

that we may formalize the plan for that particular service and observation as far as the observance in the life of our church may be concerned. We have celebrated for a long time, and then we sort of got away from it somewhat, Juneteenth. Youngsters may not know what the Juneteenth is, but on the 19th of June, that was the day when I was a boy, we were all so--oh! and we had watermelon and red soda water and we had many things, bands and speeches and all of those things

00:40:54.720 - 00:41:23.220

and it meant a great deal to us. I've even known some persons to quit their job because the man didn't let them off on the Juneteenth. That's the truth. They quit their jobs back in that day. They quit because they couldn't get off. Well, the legislature has now passed a bill making the June 5th a state holiday. We've come a long way making it a state holiday.

00:41:23.220 - 00:41:40.220

But the day when we in Texas, people, black people in Texas, you in Texas, were free. Some people, I was up in Indiana a year or two ago, where I was working on the emancipation proclamation, but it was January the 1st.

00:41:40.220 - 00:41:55.220

That's when it was issued. But it took until June for it to get down here and issued. And so, that's the day. Well, the legislators who have been instrumenting this,

00:41:55.220 - 00:42:13.800

trying to have a celebration, I'm marking the time and uh, Governor Cummings is going to sign the bill and uh, our state band has been asked to provide music, Brother Patterson is checking to see whether or not the band will be available. I believe that's Wednesday, is that right Brother Patterson?

00:42:13.800 - 00:42:27.340

Wednesday at what time? At two o'clock at the state capital. So all of you who can, Wednesday at two o'clock, together there, there will be bus loads from over the state.

00:42:27.340 - 00:42:49.340

There will be bus loads from Houston and other places, and there's going to be some watermelons. And I'm serious, there's going to be some watermelons down there on that day. So if you can, be there. And if the band can, it will certainly mean a great deal, because this is a great achievement.

00:42:49.340 - 00:43:11.340

We've come a long, long way. We hope to have this as a, not only a state holiday, but we hope to not be too distant. We should have it every day when the city workers would be off and be paid for being off like we did on the Fourth of July. Every day that it would be regarded as a particular holiday.

00:43:11.340 - 00:44:00.340

This week we will be in our National Semester in D.C. Congress, which convenes in Chicago. The Antioch Baptist Church, where Reverend W. M. Daniel is pastor, serves as the host. But also the Seven Baptist Conventions in Houston, Texas. (inaudible)
