M MTHE WRITER of the Epistle to the Hebrews has much to say concerning the two great covenants of God with men and their meaning in terms of the Old Testament and New Testament dis­pensations.

But at no point does he portray with more dramatic force the striking con­trast between the two covenants than in the twelfth chapter with its portrayal of Mount Sinai and Mount Sion.

Having exhorted the Hebrews, “Fol­low peace with all men, and holiness for the sanctification], without which

no man shall see the Lord,” he con­tinues a few verses later, “For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness [storm clouds], and darkness [an impenetrable pall], and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words.” Such was Mount Sinai.

“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an in­numerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new cove­nant” (Hebrews 12:14, 18-19, 22-24).

What a blessed contrast! Dr. H. Orton Wiley, in his book “The Epistle to the Hebrews,” summarizes this contrast as follows: “ (1 ) Sinai was in the wilder­ness with its barrenness and desert storms; Sion was in the promised land of Canaan, fertile, fruitful, and watered from heaven. (2 ) God visited Sinai for only a brief season; He is said to dwell in Sion forever. (3 ) Sinai was a mount of terror and fear; Sion, a habitation of peace. (4 ) Sinai, of massive rock and steep precipices, stood storm-crowned, alone; Sion was crowned with the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusa­lem, where God manifested himself to His people. (5 ) God gave the law from Sinai; He proclaimed the gospel from Sion. (6 ) Israel came trembling with fear to a physical mountain; Christians come with confidence to a spiritual mountain, for Sion is the foundation of a spiritual economy, a new and eternal order.”

Thank God for Mount Sion!

He that w in n eth souls is w ise (Proverbs 11:30).ADAM C L A R K E SAYS on this text; “W isdom seeks to reclaim the w andere rs ; a n d he w ho is in ­fluenced by w isdom will do the sam e.” T h e r e is pertinent t ru th here: (1) Souls can be won. (2) I t is wise to be engaged in the business of w in n in g souls. (3) I t takes w isdom to w in souls.

I recently v isited a devo ted pas to r in his ch u rc h study. W hile the re we ta lked of m a n y m a tte rs of common interest to N azarene ministers. H e to ld me he had been in his study since five o ’clock; it was then ab o u t ten. I saw his open Bible on his desk, over which h e h a d been praying.

As we conversed to g e th er th a t m o rn in g he said, “Brother W ordsw or th , I ’m d e te rm in e d to be a soul winner.” I replied , “ ‘H e th a t w in n e th souls is wise.1 ” Before p a r t in g th a t m o r n in g we th rew o u r arms around each o th e r a n d I p rayed for h im th a t God would g ran t h im the answer to his deep sotd passion for the lost. T e a rs flowed freely ere we parted.

We tarried w ith friends overn igh t , an d af te r breakfast, while seated a ro u n d the table, the h u s ­band b rought the Bible for family worship . He gave it to me for read ing . A fter the H oly W o r d was read we bowed o u r heads in solem n prayer, an d the Spirit led m e o u t to p ray w ith rea l sotd b u rd e n for some time. As we p rayed we all felt th a t we too, laymen and p reacher , m u s t be soul w inners. All eyes were m oist as we closed w orsh ip th a t m o rn ing .

to win souls, a n d w i th o u t it we do n o t w in them. It demands toil, sweat, b lood, tears, agony, p r e ­vailing prayer, fasting, dogged d e te rm in a t io n , an d persistent p u rsu i t of the lost. Revivals do no t come easy. Personal rea ch in g o u t for the unsaved is “sweaty” business. I t takes time, effort, a n d w ho le ­hearted devotion to b r in g m e n a n d w om en in to the kingdom of God.

The Spirit w hispered, “G o a n d speak to the grocer of the co rne r s to re .” In s tan t ly he obeyed, and walking briskly he a rr ived a t the store ju s t as the owner was closing for the day. T h e key was in

its energy on the sym ptom s to the neglect of causes. Such a sickness leaves us the prey of every sugar- coated deception. H o w quick ly can we be enslaved when our dep th of p e rc ep t io n is b l in d e d by shallow sentimentalism! O n b o th sides of m ost co n tro v e r­sies which tear o u r times are the u n th in k in g w ho weep about the superficial.

Weep for your churches, seems to be a n o th e r p a r t of His adm on it ion . I n a sense the peop le were weeping tha t clay because Jesus h ad to d ie so th a t they would n o t have to face the in a dequacy of their religious s truc tu re . T h e ch u rch is G o d ’s house only to the ex ten t th a t it is a place of p rayer for all people. I t m u s t constan tly be u n d e r tIre judgment of God. For so qu ick ly does it becom e a place of persona l m a n ip u la t io n for p r iva te gain. It becomes an in s t i tu t io n for o u r ow n benef i t in ­stead of for the w ork of God. I t becomes a m eans of self-aggrandizement r a th e r th a n service. W e make it an in s t ru m e n t of o u r a m b i t io n o r prestige instead of a cha llenge of m in is try to the lost an d dying.

God in tends H is C h u r c h to be the place of h ea l­ing for the nations, an d we have m a d e it the hist stronghold of o u r self-delusions a b o u t o u r s u p e r i ­ority or holiness. W eep , H e advises, for in s t i tu ­tions that in G od 's n am e p e rp e tu a te m a n ’s escape from reality. W e e p th a t the d in of h e r business drowns the voice of G o d ’s ju d g m e n t . W eep th a t her paeans of self-praise deafen her to “w ha t the Spirit saith u n to the churches .”

Weep for the sp ir i tu a l erosion of affluence, is another th in g H e m ust have h ad in m in d : “ thedestruction th a t w aste th at n o o n d a y . l ake heedto yourselves, lest a t any tim e you r hearts be over­charged w ith surfe iting , an d d runkenness , an d cares of this life, an d so th a t day to m e u p o n you unawares,” was the w ord Jesus h a d said to the people of Jerusa lem only a day or two before (Luke 21:34). W h e n it was econom ically difficult to spend m u c h tim e or m oney on the d iss ipating pleasures, we were strict. B u t w hat slow an d steady retreat o u r consciences are forced to take w hen prosperity an d increased leisure t im e becom e co m ­mon characteristics of the days!

Both the lu r in g en jo y m en t of sensuality a n d the time-consuming care of cons tan t am assing erf g rea t­er treasure starve the soul. T h e awareness of the eternal purpose a n d p la n fades as we seek to ex­ploit the im m edia te . H oliness has come to m ean numbers and ecclesiastical w ea lth r a th e r th a n t r a n ­scendence. W e ep for the d is to r t ion of values w hich places grea ter em phasis on the "ho rsem en of Egypt” than on fullness of the Spirit.

Or again, r em e m b er th a t H e saicl, “W e ep . . . for your ch i ld ren .” T h e y grow u p in cities we have built, cities w hich deny in every phase of the ir structure the “k in g d o m of G o d .” T h e i r vast con ­crete canyons echo w ith the lonely cry of lost m en

in crowds. Fheir brigh t-co lored lights cam ouflage the bottom less p i t of godlessness an d sin. T h e i r busy streets a n d stores poorly conceal the vast w aste land of poverty of t ru e cu l tu re and sp ir i tua l sensitivity.

W e ep for cities w hich grow because m any come in an d n o n e go out. Babylon procla im s security, w ealth , an d peace for all. W e live an d die in her, wordlessly dec la ring her to be m other . W e ep tha t no one tells o u r ch i ld ren she is really a “h a r lo t .” W eep th a t no p ilg rim s m ove ou t of her gates testi­fying th a t they have found here “no co n t in u in g city, b u t . . . seek one to com e.”

W eep for ch i ld ren w ho m us t live th ro u g h the day of reckoning. O u r shallow hea ling of the p rob lem s of society m ake m ore te rr ib le the day “w hen w h ir lw inds of rebe ll ion sweep the w orld .” In com fortab le times, m en crucify the p rophet. W h a t will they do w hen bom bs fall? W h a t will they do w hen the upheava l of God 's w ra th shakes the heavens an d the earth?

Finally, m ay I r e tu r n to the prom ise th a t if the sob sisters tu r n the ir w eep ing to repen tance , there are forgiveness an d healing. T h is is why Jesus is on His way to the Gross, not u n d e r the com pulsion of R o m a n soldiers really, n o r even the ca rp ing of fr igh tened a n d h a t in g ecclesiastics, b u t of His own free will.

I l l is d e a th is a p ro p i t ia t io n for the ir sins. I t is no use to weep th a t it is necessary, b u t ra th e r weep th a t it m ay be effective. W eep for joy tha t He freely forgives. W eep for regret th a t we have no t accepted it fully an d gladly before. W eep th a t so few have a p p ro p r ia te d its m eri t even now an d tha t so m any have not, as yet, heard .

“ BF Q U I E T , ” said the voice. T h is was n o t the first t im e I h a d h ea rd these words. P erhaps I should listen to them.

I t h a d b eg u n some tim e ago w hen my p rayer life seemed to be at a low ebb. N o t th a t I had s topped praying, b u t som ehow the answers d id n ’t seem to be there the way they used to be.

L onger an d longer my list o f pe t i t ions be ­came, b u t to no avail. I t seemed th a t the m ore fran tic I became, the h a rd e r I knocked, the m ore firmly the doo r was bolted .

So I h a d a n o th e r tho u g h t . P e rh ap s I h a d been neglecting the rea d in g of G o d ’s W o rd , a n d th a t was why m y prayers were n o t answered.

A n d yet I knew th a t C hris t ians far new er in the fa i th th a n I were receiv ing daily answers to the ir prayers.

B u t one day in to the m ids t of my fran t ic p e t i t io n ­ing b roke a voice.

“Be q u ie t ! ’’ it said. T h a t was all. A n d still no answer to m y prayers.

I p a id no a t te n t io n th a t first time, n o r the second, b u t soon I began to be annoyed . W h y m u s t these words keep in te r ru p t in g m y thoughts? A t last, af ter m any such in te r ru p t io n s , it occurred to m e th a t p e rh ap s I shou ld listen to the words.

For some t im e afte r I s topped my ch a t te r in g n o th in g hap p e n ed . B u t as I began to em pty my m in d of my ow n thoughts , I g radua l ly becam e aware of a s trange sort of silence. N o t the silence of loneliness, b u t the silence of a w o n d er fu l peace. Slowly my h ea r t an d m in d grew still a n d th e n b e­gan to fill w ith an indescribab ly joyfu l feeling.

N ow a t last I realize th a t p raye r is m e a n t to be a conversation, n o t a m onologue . N o t in va in does G o d tell us in H is W o r d to be still a n d kn o w th a t H e is God.

Forgiveness, w h o leh ear ted a n d com plete ly final, when sought by the o f fe n d in g p a r tn e r , is G o d ’s answer to most of o u r family problem s. Patience, love (divine an d h u m a n ) , an d chastity can often restore the s inn ing p a r tn e r . A nd it is always C hr is ­tian to lorgive in every s i tuation . N o t to forgive is to be not forgiven. “For if ye lorgive m en the ir trespasses, your heavenly F a th e r will also forgive you: but if ye forgive n o t m en th e i r trespasses, neither will your F a th e r forgive your trespasses” (Matthew (>: 11-15).

There is also forgiveness from G od for tru ly p e n i ­tent adulterers a n d adulteresses, w h e th e r legally- married or u n m a rr ie d . M ari ta l infide lity is n o t the unpardonable sin. A n d w hile m in is te rs m us t ever be firm and true to o u r L o rd w hen d ea l in g w ith this sin in or o u t of legal m arr iage , we m u s t ho ld

M ari ta l sinners are in need of o u r prayers and u n d e rs ta n d in g . W h ile some defy G od and His laws in the p la in day l igh t of t ru th , p resu m in g on the mercies an d goodness of God, m any are caugh t u p in the p o p u la r t ide of g lam orized adidtery , easy divorce, an d social sinning, an d do n o t know th a t the w ra th of G od is p o u re d o u t against the fa i th ­less.

T h e y m ust learn these th ings from the true C hris t ian C h u rc h an d the m in is te r of God.

Spiritual NeutralityBy GORDON D. HALL, P a sto r, G a rd en d ale C h u rch , E ast L iverpool, Ohio

DRIVING dow n the h ighw ay one day, I no ticed two boys h itchh ik ing . T o the A m er ican m o to r is t the h itchhiker is n o t an u n u su a l sight, b u t these boys were. T h e y were “ th u m b i n g ” all t ars re g a rd ­less of which d i rec t ion they were traveling.

Apparently these lads were go ing n o w h ere in particular. T h e y h a d no goal. T h e i r des tiny w ou ld be determined by chance o r the w h im of som eone who happened to be d r iv in g a long th a t r o a d —one way or the o ther.

While this ac tion m ay be s trange on the highway, it illustrates a way of life th a t is all too preva len t . Far too m any peop le are on the h ighw ay of life with no m ore goal th a n these boys. In the b a t t le of life they w ou ld r e m a in neu tra l .

Jesus said, “N o m a n can serve two m asters . . . Ye cannot serve G o d a n d m a m m o n ” (M atth ew 6:24). A nd yet m il l ions of “ re lig ious” peop le are trying to do it. T h e y m ay a t te n d a c h u rc h or synagogue, observe r i tua l , a n d c h a n t prayers, b u t their lives are b o u n d by sin an d the sp ir i t of this world.

For an h o u r o r so a week a cloak of p ie ty is put on, but the rest of the week the Bible is neg­lected, prayer is fo rgo tten except as an em ergency measure, the family a l ta r is u n k n o w n , a n d life is given over alm ost com plete ly to the search for pleasure and m a te r ia l benefits.

In short, the average person has never really taken sides in the b a t t le betw een good an d evil, between Chris t a n d Satan. W h i le he w o u ld re ­

coil in h o r ro r at the suggestion th a t he cast his lot w ith Satan, he has never given him self to the L o rd ei ther . T o do this, one m us t renounce all sin an d tu r n in h u m il i ty a n d repen tance to C hris t a n d yield him self w ith o u t reservation to the L o rd to be used as H e sees fit. I n a weary, sinsick w'orld w hich needs so bad ly a d em o n s tra t io n of genu ine C hris t ian i ty , very few have come to this place. W e are sp ir i tua lly neu tra l.

Bu t are we sp ir i tua lly neu tra l? Joshua u rged the anc ien t Israelites, “Choose you this day w hom ye will serve” ; an d Jesus said, “ H e th a t is no t w ith me is against me; an d he th a t g a th e re th n o t w ith me scattere th a b ro a d ” (M atthew 12:30) . T h u s the p la in teach ing of the Scrip tures is th a t we can­no t be n e u t ra l in sp ir i tua l things.

Like Peter, m a n y of us have tr ied it a n d found to o u r sorrow th a t it ca n n o t be done. W h e n Jesus was be trayed an d taken away to be tr ied, Peter followed “afar o ff” an d w arm ed his h ands at the en e m y ’s fire. Soon he d en ied th a t he ever knew the Lord.

A ttem p ts at n eu t ra l i ty are really the o u tg row th of fear and the desire for self-preservation, an d the sooner we confess th a t this is sin a n d tu rn to Christ in u t te r a b a n d o n m e n t of ourselves to H im the b e t te r off w e’ll be. W e m us t bew are of try ing to be “ Mr. In -be tw een” in the b a t t le of life. W e m ust bew are of try ing to play b o th ends against the m iddle , for o u r e te rna l destinies are involved.

sion of re lig ion w hen Chris t offers the “ full as­surance of fa i th .” W e m ust bew are lest we fall short of holiness, “w ith o u t w hich no m a n shall see the L o rd .”

In the early da vs of Israel 's history while Moses was on M o u n t Sinai w ith God, the peop le fell in to idolatry, m a k in g an d w o rsh ipp ing a go lden calf. D escending from the m o u n ta in , the m a n of G od p u t the ques tion squarely to the people: “W hois on the Lord 's side? let h im come u n to m e .” A n d the W o rd continues, “All the sons of Levi g a thered themselves toge ther u n to h im ” (Exodus 32:20).

In these clays so m arked by m ate r ia l ism and covetousness (which is ido la try—Colossians 3:5) , G od surely would ask us, if we w ou ld lis ten to His voice, “W h o is on the Lord 's side?”

Mas we d raw near to H im and, resisting all tendencies tow ard neu tra l i ty , deny ourselves, take u p o u r cross, and follow Him.

T h e g ro u p h a d ju s t spent a week d irec ting the vacation Bible school a n d assisting in the camp m ee t ing at the Ponca City N azarene I n d ia n Mis­sion. T h e you n g peop le were from the T in le y Park ( su b u rb a n Chicago) Churc h of the N azarene.

T h e “P onca City B lues” was sung in spite of a week of “k i l l ing p ac e”—prayer m e e t in g at 6:30 a.m.; breakfast; V.B.S. o p e n in g 9:00 a.m. . . . close at 3:.3() p.m.; r e lax—d in n e r at 5:00 p .m .—6:30 p.m., youth service—cam p m e e t in g at 7:30—end of ser­vice ab o u t 11:00 p.m. T h e n no t ro u b le sleeping.

“Boy! T h a t was a six-day schedu le ,” remembered Kim Hell iwell , h igh school sophom ore. “ But I’m ready to spend ano ther ! It was the greatest experi­ence!” M err i lyn Meissner, oldest teen, told the T in le y P ark C h u rch , “O u r schedule for the week was busy, but tha t d id n ' t m a tte r . W e found that real w ork ing for the Lord makes you forget time and tiredness. W e looked fo rw ard to each dav.”

T h e schedule d id n ' t cause the T in le y Park teens any p roblem . T h e y were m o re su rp rised by other things. ” 1 expected to see the In d ia n s in blankets, b u t they w ore the same k in d of c lo th in g we did,” George said. Mr. C a r in g e r said, “T h e In d ia n s were m ore excited a b o u t the tepee they b u i l t for us than we were. It had been a long tim e since they had built a tepee .”

Actually, the teens were m ore impressed and moved by w o rk in g w ith G od th a n by the lack of In d ia n w ar pa in t . “ If I h a d n ’t gone, I probably w o u ld n ' t be sanctif ied to n ig h t ,” L in d a Kirby told the h om etow n Nazarenes.

“1 too c leared u p sp ir i tu a l p ro b lem s,” Kim told the local church . “T h e en t i re exper ience was a sp ir i tua l u p l i f t . ”

L in d a P adget t , youngest m e m b e r of the group, sum m ed u p well the feelings of all ten: “ Bv helping in the V.B.S. an d cam p m eeting , I was blessed. It has caused m e to increase in my love for the Lord and I always w a n t to serve H im . I w an t His will to be clone in my life.”

T h e teens a n d sponsors said, “W e received much m ore th a n we possibly c o n t r ib u te d to the Indians.”

Rev. S am uel Mackety, Ponca pastor, took issue

with them on th a t po in t . “ I h o p e the teens will be able to return. T h is has b een one of the greatest single experiences in o u r m in is try on the P onca Reservation. O u r peop le p roved it by g iv ing the young folks the h ighest h o n o r a P onca can bestow— an Indian nam e for each .”

Friday m orn ing , in an impressive ceremony, the teens were nam ed. L in d a Kirby, w ho h a d h e lp ed the Indian women wash the d in n e r dishes, was called “Ponca we”—m e a n in g “one of us.” Mr. C a r in g e r explained, “Few persons have ever received this honor.” George was r e n a m e d “F ire-shaker,” b u t his fellow teens d u b b e d h im “F lam e-th row er.”

After honors, work, a n d the presence of G od, it was the tepee th a t left a las t ing impression. O n e evening a severe electric s to rm h i t the reservation. About 3:00 a.m., G eorge was aw akened w ith a steady drip on his face. H e aw akened K im an d they tried fran tically to shu t the o p en flaps a t the tepee tip. T h e flaps always d id the opposite of what they w anted . I n the exc i tem en t of b u i ld in g the tepee, the In d ia n s h ad fo rgo tten to show the teens how to close the flap.

At last they fo u n d a spot w here the ra in was no t dripping in. Soon the ra in s to p p e d —b u t n o t soon enough. “W e were ju s t asleep aga in w hen it was time for p rayer m e e tin g a n d b reakfas t ,” G eorge growled!

The Secret of Victor levs LivingA bishop of T he Methodist Church recently

wrote: “The church which makes it clear that it possesses the secret of victorious living w ill find a response that will overwhelm it. For the people have been walking in darkness and hoping to see a great light. Evangelism that allows the Light of the World to shine through men will redeem us. All we wait for is the realization of who we are and what we possess.”

There is tremendous truth in these words. What­ever may be the reasons we find for failing to win the masses, chief among them must certainly be the fact that we have not made it clear we possess the secret of victorious living.

Yet we do share this secret. It is not ours alone. It is known to all who accept the full reach of the gospel of Jesus Christ. T he bishop’s own church made its greatest strides while it emphasized the complete adequacy of Christ for every personal human need.

That early vision—“to spread scriptural holiness across these lands”—was the key to Methodism’s progress, and has been the key to the progress of the holiness movement, which has largely inherited the mission.

There is nothing appealing about a limited and halfhearted Christianity. T he world has quite enough of defeat on its own without being invited to share the defeats of a nominal religion.

Religion that makes no difference just doesn’t matter to anybody. Only in the radiance and lift of personal victory is there attraction and appeal to the baffled and defeated who throng the streets.

TH ER E ARE TW O KINDS OF FAILURES in the Church, amazingly like the two groups of disciples at the transfiguration of Jesus. There are those like the three on the mountaintop, fully occu­pied with the things of God but completely out of touch with human need.

Then there are those like the nine in the valley, as Alan Stibbs describes them—“very much in touch with the world, good mixers, living at the ordinary workaday level, but quite unprepared to be tackled with the genuine spiritual enquiry of a soul in need.”

T he three on the mountain must not lose their touch with the radiant Saviour. T he nine in the valley must not lose their contact with the crowd. But somehow, in the power of the Spirit, the mes­

sage of the m ountaintop must be brought to the people on the plain.

It is estimated that there are today in the United States of America eighty m illion uncommitted peo­ple. They have no religious affiliation of any kind —Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish. In addition to other m illions who are merely nom inal church members, these people have no soul-saving, life- lifting experience of God in Jesus Christ.

But these are the very people who w ill determine the destiny of our nation. As Wayne Dehoney put it, “W hoever wins these eighty m illion uncom­mitted souls w ill win America. W e are in a bfe-and- death struggle to win them. W e will win them to our way, or they will be won to another persuasion. They will not continue in a spiritual vacuum.”

THESE ARE T H E PEOPLE who are walking in darkness, who are hoping to see a great light. Not that they are conscious of either the darkness or the hope. But their unfulfilled need shows itself in their restlessness, their groping for fulfillment, their seeking for causes worth living and even dying for.

Theology w ill not interest them. Doctrine will not challenge them. Abstract theory will only leave them cold. They have had it all and turned away from it. T he one thing they have never seen is the radiant, joyous life of Christ consistently and daily lived out in the experience of victorious power.

What do we wait for? Is it the realization of who we are and what we possess? Have we sold our gospel short by our failure to keep open to the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit? These are questions we may well ask ourselves in a day of unparalleled need and opportunity.

Lazy ListeningOne of the most frequent commands throughout

the Bible is, “Hear the word of the Lord.” Each of the seven messages to the churches in Revelation 2 and 3 concludes with the words of Jesus, “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”

“Hearing” as the Bible uses the term means more than “listening.” It means obeying, heeding what is heard, putting it into action.

But “hearing” starts with “listening.” In ordi­nary life, to be sure, one may hear some things for which he doesn’t listen. Some voices, some sounds,

intrude themselves u p o n us w h e th e r we will o r no.In the life of the spirit, however, we generally

hear only as we listen. T h e words m ay fall u p o n our ears, b u t they do n o t reach o u r hear ts o r p e n e ­trate our m inds u n t i l we give th e m o u r a t ten t ion .

A recent w ri te r said so m e th in g of rea l s ignifi­cance in this area. H e com m en ted , “ N o t all of the vagueness displayed by m a n y C hr is t ian s ab o u t the ir faith is the fau lt of the p reacher . Some of it is the result of la/.y l is ten ing .”

We who preach, of course, m u s t accept o u r share of responsibility in this m a t te r of co m m u n ic a t in g the gospel—an d it is the lion 's share. R ecen t books about p reach ing are filled w ith discussions of “ the problem of c o m m u n ic a t io n ”—g et t in g the message through to the peop le to w h o m we speak.

But speaking is only one-ha lf of com m unica t ion . The broadcasting s ta t ion m ay be ever so powerftd , and its waves ever so pervasive, b u t if the receiver is out of tu n e or defective, n o th in g gets th rough .

It is true, as P au l says in his discussion of tongues: “Even th ings w i th o u t life g iv ing sound , whether p ipe 01 h a rp , except they give a d is t inc­tion in the sounds, how shall it be kn o w n w ha t is piped or harped? For if the t ru m p e t give an uncertain sound, w ho shall p re p a re h im self to the battle?” (1 C o r in th ia n s 11:7-8)

But the m elody is lost on the person w ho is tone-deal. A nd the t ru m p e t call, however lo u d an d clear, canno t rally the sold ier w ho will no t hear.

LAZY L I S T E N I N G seems par t icu la r ly p reva len t in o u r day. P erhaps it is d u e to the h a b i t of so m any who tu rn on a rad io an d allow its cacophony of sound to wash over the ir ears as they go ab o u t o th e r things. In church, some of it m ay be due to long- in g ra in ed h ab i ts of p reoccupat ion .

Sometimes we have failed to u n d e rs ta n d tha t go ing to w orsh ip m eans m ore th a n o u r physical presence w ith in the sanctuary. T h e r e is a doo r in the hea r t w hich m ust be closed to the c lam or of crow ded lives.

O ne has only to look o u t over the average a u d i ­ence to see the signs of lazy lis tening. T h e d e a d p a n face, the expressionless eyes, the doo d lin g hands, the preoccup ied look, all witness to the sp ir i tua l c o u n te rp a r t of w ha t one of the advertisers called “ the invis ible sh ie ld .”

Lazy l is ten ing is the p a r t icu la r per i l of those w ho have gone long an d o f ten to the house of the Lord. W e have “h ea rd it all before ,” we th in k —an d too m any times we have. B u t there are overtones to the gospel message, however u n in sp i r in g we m ig h t th in k it to be in the h u m a n , w hich the Spiri t gives to those w ho d iscip line themselves to a t ten t ion .

As one of the profession, I am w illing to ad m it th a t the u n p a rd o n a b le sin of the p reacher is to be dull. B u t it is still true: “N o t all of the vagueness d isplayed by m any Chris t ians ab o u t th e ir fa i th is the fau lt of the preacher. Some of it is the result of lazy l is ten ing .”

67 Find Peace in Kitchen ChurchBy Edna Lochner, P igg's Peak, Swaziland

Alice Kumalo, one of Mrs. C hapm an’s Bible women of years past, and I go four times a week to “ Power Station” lum ber m ill eight miles away from the mission com pound for church.

I was fortunate to get a seat just o u t­side the door, where the air was cooler. People of all ages get spiritual strength and blessing in this kitchen church. Here they are encouraged to face vic­toriously the sin and wickedness of the com pound in which they live.

GENERAL INTERESTS

Interest Rates Hiked For Gift Annuities

An increased rate of interest on gift annuities to donors was recently adopted by the twelfth conference of the Com ­m ittee on Gift Annuities, and will go in to effect Septem ber 1. T h e General Board of the Church of the Nazarene will follow^ the increased interest rate table.

A gift annuity is cash, negotiable se­curities, o r real property given to a re­ligious or charitable organization which, in turn , agrees to pay a fixed am ount (that am ount is determ ined by the table

below) to the person m aking the do­nation.

T h e new7 rates were recommended af­ter a five-year study of m ortality experi­ence among people who have given to such organizations.

Existing agreements will not be af­fected, but all new7 agreem ents will be determ ined by the new7 table.

Representing the General Board was Dr. Jona than T . Gassett, wills and a n ­nuities secretary. Also in attendance were Dr. L. Wesley Johnson, Northwest Nazarene College, and Rev. Donald G ib ­son, Olivet Nazarene College.Age at % Return Age at % Return

THE LOCAL CHURCHES

Two Churches Formed; Revivals Successful

T w o new churches were organized, a d istrict cam p m eeting had record a t­tendance, and two sum m er revivals were held with good success, according to re­cent reports.

T h e two churches were organized: at Lake Isabella, California, where Rev. Oren L. Ice is pastor; and in Chicago C entral C hurch, a Negro congregation pastored by Rev. R. V. Layman, which was form erly the Van Buren mission before it was organized.

M ore than seven hundred were in at­tendance recently for the fina l sei-vice of the South Carolina District camp m eeting, where Dr. T . W. W illingham , form er R adio League secretary, and Dr. Edward Lawlor, Evangelism D epartm ent secretary, were evangelists, and Dr. Otto Stucki, South Carolina District super­in tendent, served as director.

Nine m em bers were added to the Fa ir­fax (Oklahoma) church by profession of faith du rin g a recent revival with Rev. and Mrs. Carl Prentice. T h ere were seekers in nearly every service, reported Rev. R. Dean Ferguson, pastor.

New people were reached for the four Nazarene churches in a recent Bloom­ington, Indiana, holiness tent crusade, according to Rev. Ray Wilson, reporter, and pastor of Broadview C hurch. Rev. M orris C halfant was evangelist; Mr and Mrs. Keith Showalter, musicians; and Ron Lush, choir director.

to C hristian GrowthS c r i p t u r e : Ephesians 6:10-20; James

4:1-8; I John 2:15-17 (Printed: E phe­sians 6:10-20)

G o i .d k n T e x t : In the world ye shall have tribulation: bu t be of good cheer; I have overcome the world (John 16:33) .

Pressure from w ithout is second only to ou r consideration of last week—pres­sure from within.

T h e growth of a p lant will be stunted prim arily if it is inherently unhealthy (the disease of sin in the believer’s heart) . It will also be retarded if its ho rticu ltu ral environm ent is uncon- ducive to its requirem ents (evil in flu ­ences of society, lack of sym pathy at home, opposition a t work) .

Godless influences w ithout are basical­ly no help to the Christian. On the con­trary, they are potentially deleterious to his growth. It is for this reason the Lord teaches us to pray that we m ight be spared tem ptation and not led into evil. We do know7, however, even before we pray that we are to be very m uch in this world and that dangerous pressures will be o u r lot un til at last we reach the celestial city.

T h e encouraging factor is that when Jesus contem plates the worst of circum ­stances w ithout—tribu la tion—He calls for good cheer! He has overcome the world, and the im plication is that we, His fol­lowers, m ight do so also.

Only the foolhardy would walk in to a godless environm ent by choice, bu t when of necessity we find ourselves so placed there is no call to despair; the way of victory has already been won.

These two thoughts emerge:1. It is sense for every Christian and

every Christian organization to bend every effort to clean up the environm ent in which we live. Let us vigorously op ­pose the licensing of taverns, betting shops, striptease clubs, and the like. Let us consistently allow ou r voice to be heard concerning the standards of en ­tertainm ent and lite ra tu re in our lo­cality.

AU G U ST 25, 1965 • (565) 13

2. It is well to rem em ber that even though—as it surely will to some extent — the environm ent of this present world remains evil, o u r perseverance in the face of tem ptation is an aid to C hristian growth.

G rowing in FaithS c r i p t u r e : M atthew 6:27-33; 17:14-21:

Luke 17:3-6; Acts 4:7-11; G alatians 5: 22-23; Hebrews 11:1-6, 24-27, 35-40(Printed: Hebrews 11:1-6, 24-27)

G o l d e n T e x t : Lord, increase our faith (Luke 17:5).

T h e little hoy defined faith as “ be­lieving som ething you know to be u n ­true .’’ Not at all! It is ra th e r trusting a God you know to be very true.

Faith is best understood, or best be­gun to be understood, by noting its ef­fects in different life situations. In the vicissitudes of everyday life it is faith that saves from overanxiety. T h e m o u n ­tainous crisis of distressing ill health can be removed by faith as a grain of m ustard seed. Faith and forgiveness are related too. A man m ust trust the all- wise and all-loving heart to forgive sev­enty times seven. T h is astounding a l­truism is accomplished in the hum an heart only by grace through faith.

It also requires faith to know that the world was “fram ed by the word of God.” Reason may deduce that, since some­thing now is, som ething must always have been, but it is faith which names Him God and calls Him Father.

Faith goes fu rther; it knows the u l­tim ate benefit of being on G od’s side. Moses took the distasteful, bu t none­theless the right, way of suffering with those on G od’s side ra th e r than enjoy­ing the tem porary pleasures of sin. T h is was a sustained act of faith.

T h e disciples prayed, “ Lord, increase ou r faith ." In the light of the foregoing and much else beside, what a worthwhile prayer this is!

How m ight the Lord answer?fa ith is increased by use. In our w rit­

ten tests at school we always wanted more paper than the teacher gave us. “ Use what you have,” she said; “ then you will get m ore.” Faith is increased if we give due regard to the experience of others. We may also recall our own previous experience of G od’s goodness. T h is is what David did when faced by Goliath. His reason bolstered his faith. T h e God who had delivered him from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear could and would also deliver him from the hand of the Philistine.

For this life of following C hrist we do need faith. Let us resolve to have it by all means.Lesson m ateria l is based on International Sunday School Lessons, the International B ible Lessons for Christian Teaching, copyrighted by the International Council of Relig.ous Education, and is used by its permission.

El Paso Pastor Named to Follow Gunstream

Rev. H arold W. Morris, fifty-one, pastor of th e El Paso (Texas) First Church since 1942, was nam ed August 8 as superin tendent of the New M ex­ico District, accord­ing to Dr. Samuel Young, general su­p e r i n t e n d e n t in jurisdiction.

Mr. Morris, an ordained elder since 1949, replaces Dr. R. C. G unstream , who was accidentally killed August 2 at the district cam pground site near C apitan, New Mexico. A building, tem porarily suspended, slipped as it was being moved. Dr. G unstream was caught under it.

T h e accident happened only hours before the start of the annual camp m eeting. Funeral services for Dr. G un­stream were held a t 10:00 a.m. the following T hursday (August 5 ). In te r­m ent was in A lbuquerque. T h e Dis­trict Advisory Board then announced Sunday, the last day of the camp m eet­ing, the appoin tm ent of Rev. H arold W. Morris.

A native of Cushing, Oklahoma, Mr. M orris attended Bethany Nazarene Col­lege from 1934 to 1938 and received a Bachelor of Theology degree with a m ajor in religion. He m arried R u th Ingrim , who is also a graduate of B eth­any Nazarene College. T h e couple have three children—one m arried and two who are students a t Pasadena College.

Mr. Morris, who has been a pastor in El Paso for twenty-three years, has had only one o ther pastorate—Hager- m an, New Mexico, for three years.

About four hundred fifty applications have been received, which is nearly one- fourth of the available accommodations at the D iplom at Hotel in Fort Lauder­dale, Florida. T h e two districts which have filled their quotas are Nebraska and Arizona. O ther district superin­tendents may be ho ld ing applications in addition to the four hundred fifty applications now received.

A broad spread of age-groups is rep­resented in the applications, the evan­gelism office said.

If a p e rso n h as h is m em b e rsh ip in a C h u rc h of th e N aza ren e in D allas, T exas, b u t lives in D enver, C o lo rado , an d a tte n d s a C h u rch of th e N azaren e th e re , can he be an ac tiv e m em b er of the N.W.M.S. in th e D en v er c h u rch w h ile le a v in g h is c h u rch m em b ersh ip in D allas?

Yes. T h e only requirem ent for active m em bership in the Nazarene W orld Missionary Society is to be “ twelve years old o r over and a m em ber of the C hurch of the Nazarene” (Constitution for Nazarene W orld Missionary Soci­eties,” M anual, 1964, paragraph 588, page 291). He could not be counted as an active m em ber in both places, how- e\ er.

An exception is the president of the society, who m ust "be a m em ber of the

local church whose society is served” (p. 292) . T h e reason for the exception is. of course, that the president of the society is a m em ber ex officio of the church board and of the District As­sembly.

A good question to raise would be why this person doesn't transfer his m em bership to the church he regularly attends, assuming, of course, that his residence in Denver is relatively p e r­manent.

S hall w e hav e w o rk to do in h e av e n ? I believe sc r ip tu re s such as Jo h n 5:17; H eb rew s 1:14; a n d R ev ela tio n 7:15 p o in t to th e co n clu sio n th a t life in heaven is to be a life of ac tiv ity , p ro g ress , an d sp ir i tu a l d ev elo p m en t on th e h ighest lines.

In general. I should be on your side. W ith due regard to Rudyard K ipling’s deficiencies as a theologian, lie had a point when he wrote:

W hen Earth's last picture is p a in t­ed, and the tubes are txeisted and d r i e d ,

W hen the oldest colours hax’e faded, and the youngest critic has died,

We shall rest, and, fa ith , we shall need it—lie doxeti for an aeon or txeo.

T ill the M aster of A ll Good Work- men shall pu t us to xvork anew.

Prehaps the terms in your friendly

debate need to be sharpened a bit. W ork does not necessarily mean d ru d g ­ery. and rest is not necessarily idleness. Work can be restful if it is freely chosen and done with zest. And enforced id le­ness can be the heaviest burden anyone ever bore.

T o your list of scriptures you might add Revelation 22:3, “ And there shall be no more curse: but the throne ofGod and of the Lamb shall be in it: and his servants shall serve h im .”

Certainlv no one can argue this point: W hatever be the na ture of the eternal state of the redeemed, it will be just light. T h e im portant point for us is to be ready to go.

W h at h a p p en s to th e sou l w hen a p e rso n d ies fo r ab o u t tw en ty m in u te s (m o re o r less) an d is rev iv ed by h e a r t m assag e? Does it go up a n d th en com e b ack dow n to re e n te r th e b ody? A nd if L az a ru s w as in heav en ly b liss, w hy w as he called b ack to life to live in th is m ise rab le w o rld ag a in ?

I have no very certain answer to any of these questions. It seems to me that we must distinguish between “d ea th ” medically and death theologically in the case of persons revived by hum an action.

One m ight have no discernible physi­cal signs of life and thus be “dead" medically, whose soul had not actually been separated from the body and was thus in the same state* as the soul of a person in deep unconsciousness. I do not believe* that a person who is dead “ theologically”—that is. dead in the sense of separation of soul and body— could ever be revived bv hum an action.

As to Lazarus, he was brought back

to life “ for the glory of God. that the Son of God m ight be glorified thereby” (John 11:4). T h ere is reason to believe that before the resurrection of Jesus the souls of the dead were not in their final, heavenly abode, but in what the Old Testam ent calls sheol and the New Testam ent names hades, or "A braham ’s bosom" or “ Paradise."

Since it was for the glory of God, I am cpiite sure Lazarus was glad enough to come back to his earthly life.

Incidentally, most of us postpone our entrance into heavenly bliss just as long as we can—even at tin* cost of living in "th is miserable world."
