EDITORIAL missionary enterprise as a denomina­

tion is preeminently an adventure of faith. This was demonstrated again and

again by the Genera l Missionary Committe~ in its annual session at

An Adventure of Faith. Forest Park, Illinois, from April 16 to 18.

Huge sums of money, which are not as yet in sight, were appropriated for mission churches and missionary fields. But the assurance of God's beneficent guidance through his faithful co­laborers enables us as a denomination to face the year, that is ahead, r esolutely and unafraid.

Dr. William Kuhn, general missionary secr e­tary, reported that approximately $60,000 were voted by the General ·Missionary Committee to provide for the absolute needs of the society dur­ing the coming fiscal year. This sum includes the grants for home and foreign missions, chapel building, superannuated ministers and ministers' widows, and relief. It does no t include t h e min­isters' pensions which amount to about $15,000 annually. Brother Kuhn has voiced the prayer­ful concern of a ll the committee members that "in order to secure the $60,000 for our mission­ary society during this present fiscal year, we are looking forward to our heavenly Father to sup­ply this great need by pr ompting our churches and church members to do their part."

The committee wr estled with critical problems that affect our denominational solidarity and that may cause serious disintegration in the fu­tur e. In spite of darkening clouds, that may give rise to alarm in some sections of our denomina­tion, a hopeful forward look characterized the deliberations of t h e committee. Seven significant denominational goals were adopted for recom­mendation to the General Conference in Burling­ton , Iowa, towards which our churches will b e asked to strive during the triennium leading up to the Denominational Centenary Celebration in 1943.

The bonds of loyalty to our denominational enterprise must be strengthened. This was ex­pressed repeatedly in the committee's sessions without attempting "to foster a narrow sectarian spirit." Brother Kuhn in a recent letter to our pastors and church leaders spoke for the com­mittee when he said that "we must intensify our love to our denomination by keeping ourselves intelligently informed concerning the nature and importance of our work. We must endeavor to lead our people to grow in the grace of giving and to enlist all individuals and all church so­cieties to actively participate in the support of our own household."

A panoramic view of our foreign mission en­terprise was presented to the committee members by means of letters and reports. Intercessory prayer was offer ed repeatedly for our Cameroon missionaries in Africa and our 47 workers in the Danubian countries of Southeastern Europe. The Macedonian cr ies from these fields are more pitiful than ever. Expenditures in the Came­roons cannot be reduced because of mission buildings which must be constructed and because of the spiritual progress that is being made. The Danubian countries are beginning to feel the vicious effects of the nearby war in higher costs of living and greater restrictions on their liber­ties, so that our Christian brethren in these land s are in desperate need of our help .

This adventure of faith has just begun with the session of the general mission committee. I t will continue in the hearts of those faithful Christians who give their whole-hearted suppott to this work of God. It will be demonstrated i churches and conferences that manifest thein consecration "fir st to the Lord and then to

0 r

denominational enterprise." ui· "Now what follows from all this? If God .

for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8 .3

of Tacoma, Washington The Tower of the Sun That Rises M ajestically Over

Treasure I sland in San Francisco Bay The Exemplary Christian Life Towers Over Its Enyiron· ment Even Like the Coit Tower O ver San Franc?sco

"Let no man despise thy you th ; but be t hou an ensample to them tha t believe, in word, in man­ner of life , in love, in faith, in purity." 1. Tim. 4: 12 (Rev ised Ver s ion).

TH this ringing statement P aul, the "aged" apostle, challenges the youth of another generation of Christians, the

coming leader s of the Church, to step out of the life of an ordinary existen ce into "a life extr a­ordinary ." T h e gr eat missionary prefaces this challeng e with a word of enco uragement, "Let no man despise thy youth!" He r ealizes that Timothy, by nature timid and diffident, must overcome a formidab le h andicap in assuming his place as a leader in the Ch urch . This obstacle to be overcome, in the m i n d s of some Christian leaders, w as his youth.

The Experience of Timothy

In that day, as a lso in th is day, some well­meaning p eople wi thin the Church and in society in general made yo uth synonymous with inex­perience, inability, and, freq uently, inefficiency. On the basis of such ill-conceived judgment they not only pr evented Y_0~1:1g peopl~ from assuming positions of r espons1b1hty, but 1f a young man actually in some w ay beyond th eir control suc­ceeded to such a post, they maliciously hindered him in his work and made his life difficult in many ways. This seems to have been t he exper­ience of Timothy . (See also 1. Cor. 16 :10-11) . Ther efore , Paul ch a ll enges the young man to give the best h e ha s in him and can still acquire to t he gr eat work to which he has been called an_d_, t hus, by his lif e and min ist ry silence his cr1t1cs.

In his letters to this young man, Timothy, Paul employs sound principles of reason as well as of good business. First of all, h e takes stock of the assets of his friend; then h e sets th e goal; and , finally, develops the· procedure for the achieve­ment of that goal.

The Young Man's Asset s

Timothy's per sonal qualifications faclu cled among other t hings a good background as to family and upbringing. To be sure, h e was the son of a mixed marriage. His father was a Gen­tile of Lystra (Acts 16:1-3 ) and his mother a J ewess, whose name was Eunice. Timothy 's mother and grandmoth er, Lois, wer e both b eli ev­ers and noted fo r their deep piety. (2. Tim. 1 :5) · Both of these did not neglect their duty to the child and instructed him faithfully from early yo uth in the Scripture, (2. Tim. 3 :15 ) , so that when Paul came preaching the gospel, (Acts 14: 6, 7, 21), h e became one of Paul's converts (1. Tim. 1 :2) and immediately became active in the work of his own church (Acts 16 :1-2) . On t he basis of the good reputation which h e obtained among his brethren in Lystra and Iconium, Paul, the great apostle, invited him to become a fe l­low-laborer in the gospel.

Now, in t he first half of this brief biographi­cal sketch , one cou ld easily substitu te t he names of many of the young people of our church es for that of Timothy, and, with a f ew minor vari a­tions, one would r ead their life story. But on ly of a limited few could it be said t hat they became active in the local work and prep ar ed themselves for la rger ser vice. Ther efore, young r eader , get

May 15, 1940

busy at once if you lack the asset of proper pre­paration, the preparation via the route of r eal ser vice ,willingly and gladly performed in and for th e local church.

A Living and Unfeigned Faith

Timothy's second asset was faith. It was a living faith which showed itself in action, first in the home church and la t er in t h e larger work through trial, tribulation and even imprisonment (1. Cor. 4:17, 22; Heb. 13:23). His faith was unfeigned, ("without hypocrisy," as the origin­a l indicates) and, because of such faith , Paul paid him unqualified t ribute in Phil. 2 :19-22. "For I h ave no man likeminded, who will car e genuinely for your state. For t hey all seek their own, not the things of J esus Christ. But ye know the proof of him, that, as a chi ld serveth a fa­ther, so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel." Happy, indeed, is t h e youth who num­bers among his a s s e t s such a living and un­feigned faith.

The last but not th e least of his resources was the a uthoritative, life-giving Word. He learned to know and appreciate it in his youth a s the great apostle indicates in 2. Tim. 3 :15, for "from a child thou h as known the holy scriptur e." H e d id not only learn to know about it as so many young people do in this day, but came to know it exper imentally. The Wor d, indeed, made him "wise unto sa lvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus,'' as it did for many oth ers to wh om he proclaimed it. Again, Timothy without doubt consider ed it a uth oritative even as P au l did. His vocabulary in preaching and t eaching included no " ifs" and "buts" of pharisaic evasion of t h e clear-cut and incisive st a tements of God's Word.

A Christian Purpose in Life

Christian living must be purposeful living. Paul, t her efor e, places before his yo ung friend one of the tersest statements of the Christian's purpose in life in this verse befor e us. "Be thou an ensample to th em that believe, in word , in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity." One almost trembles before the magnitude of the challenge h er e given. "Be t h ou an example,'' ("model or pattern" as the orig inal more clearly imp lies ). It carries with it a tr emendous respon­sibility . The defects of the model will of ten b e ac­centuated in the copy. Hence, the patt ern must come as near to p e r f e c t i o n as is humanly possible.

Again the young ma n is h er e a sked to b e a pattern to the believer, whose standa rds and concep ts of living exceed by far anyth ing that the world has ever had or ever will a ccept. Th er efor e, even more is expected of a Chri stian leader.

But P au l, who set the st anda rd of Christian leader .:;h ip so high , was conscious of the fact that with mere human r esources n eit h er h e nor Timot hy could ever h ope to be a real pattern un­l e~s Goel enab led them. Ther efore, I am sur e

Page 185

that wh en Timothy r ead Paul's brief prayer of thanksgiving in the early part of his letter, ( 1 : 12-14) "And I thank Christ J esus our Lord, w h o hath enabled (Greek, "empowered" ) me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministr y . . . And the grace of our Lord was ex­ceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ J esus," h e was reminded of anoth er com­forting word written in his presence (Phil. 1 : 1; 4 :13 ) "I can do all things in him that strengtheneth (Greek, "enables, empowers") me." With Christ enabling and empow ering him, the yo ung Christian need not fear to accept the challenge to become a pattern or mode l t o t he believer .

A Model Christian Life

Now, ho wever, let us t urn to the description of that pattern . Timothy is asked to becom e a p a t­t ern " in word, in manner of life, in love, in f aith in purity." Surely, one must concede that it is ~ well rounded model, with the first two parts of the description g iving a r epresentation or expres­sion of it to society, and the others furnishing t h e motivation and balances for t h e whole . The world and the Christian take both th e word of a man and a woman and compare it w ith his be­havior, his walk, and on the basis of t h a t com­parison they will form t heir opinion of that person.

It will never do for a Christian leader to t ea ch. "Do as I say, and not as I do." To t es tify lik~ t he colored man: "I've stole chicken s a nd I've shot dice and I've told lies, but, bless the L ord I'se kept m y r eligion in de . h_eart ! ", will only ~end to h eap ridicule and derision ~pon the call­mg of a Christian. We will agree wit h John B un­yan when he obser ves : "~~ligion is t h e be1'>t armor a man can have, but it 1s the wor st cloak ,, 1:'he disciple, h owever, who exempli?es true god­liness in his own life is bound to wield a w h ole ­some spiritual influence over t h e ~)eople a mon g wh om h e lives and wor ks, and gam _t he respe t of both the Christian and the worldlmg . c

Achieving the Pattern

The motivitat ion and balance to such a life f true godliness is found in "love, in fait h , in )"\lo "t " 0 · t d th L .P ll' -1 y . nly genume love owar e or d Wh red eemed us, a transcendent love, not m er e s

(l~:.ve 2. Tim. 1 :7-12 ).

4 oun9 People B uildin9 tlie Cliu1tcli ot Cli1tist A Challe nge to Christian Youth as Interpreted by Two Youthful

Church Leaders

What the Church Expects of the Young People

Dy Vlolu Schrenk of Snlc1u, Orc,1.;on

What does the Church expect of young people? This is a question which deserves serious thought and s hould be of interest to everyone, for we r ealize that there is a lways a gen­eration of young people and i t is de­sired that t hey be prepared to ca_rry on the wor k of the church from tnne to time.

The church may be defined as a company of regenerate persons, who, in any given community, unite them­selves voluntarily together , in accord­ance with Christ's Jaws, for the pur­pose of establishing h is Kingdom.

The church is interested in the fu­ture of its destiny and, thus, sees the need of its young people. The me~ _a nd women who hold prominent pos itions of trust in our denomination t oday will not live on earth for ever. Who is to fill their p laces? The life of t he church of tomorrow depends upon the young people of today. Consequently, the church wants youth united i1: th_e support and maintenance of the insti-t ution. .

The place of youth in the chu.rch is s imilar to the place of youth 111 t he home. They are part of it. For the reason that y o u th is part of t_he church, young people have ~efimte responsibilties for its care and its on­going . I s it not true that every pei:­son who becomes a part of any orga!11-zation is expected to do his part. ~o sustain its l ife, to e..'Cemplify its ~p1r~t and to promote the work for which it

. t ? ex1s s. 1 The church expects the young peop e

to r ender service and that they serve t he Lord in the 'days of their youth. Service is defined as the performing of a duty. In these busy days, when the demands upon youth 's time an~ energy are so many a nd so ins istent, it s?me­times seems as though they go hither a nd yon in an earnest but somewhat vain endeavor to be of service. Then they find themselves wondering ju~t what their firs t and truest r esponsi­bili ty r eally is. It is t rue t hat a ll ~re not fi tted for the same kind of service in the church. Even though young people have different talents, they c,cm find a place to se1·ve, if t hey are so m­clined. Young people, find your _Place to serve and fill it well rendermg a service that is earnest and ge11Uine 1 Se1·ve ye, fo r o nly h e who serves doth

All ~'~1b11~ \ii'!;· i s m easured n ot by "get" but "give."

The church expects the young peo­ple to be loyal. Loyalty is an obliga­t ion to be fa ithful. Chur ch loyalty is believing that Christ established one and only one earthly institution to which H e committed the work of ex­tending His kingdom. W e know that the world's g reatest Christian char ac­ters have been loyal to t his institution. Young people mus t be conscientiously loyal to t heir church, helping to keep aflame and a loft the torch of a Jiving faith. They are to be faithful to the church with their attendance and fait hful to other s by striving earnestly to lead them to know Jesus Chris t a s their Lord and Savior.

Then, too, the church is desirous of cooperation, in order to achieve unity of spirit, of purpose and of motive. Christian unity was one of the L ord's great concerns. Youth is to cooper ate with the events s pon s ored by the church. Young people should cooperate with their pastor, and, a lso, give a de­finite portion of their income to help support t he church a nd to spread the gospel throughout the world. The abilt y and willingness to cooperate and contribute are essentially Christian virtues of the first r ank.

Young people, will t he church realize its expectations in seeing you give of your best in service, loyalty and co­operation?

What Young People Can Do for the Church D~· Nor1nn R ol'Jkn1u

of "\\'nsco, Cn ll fornln

Why have we been saved? Paul teaches t hat we are saved by g race through faith. He plainly says that t he end a nd purpose of salvation are good works. God gives us t his new life th at it may be a n instrument of service. I n other words, we have been saved from sin , not because of any merit of our own, but because God in love a nd mercy desired to bless us and to make u s a blessing to the world.

Each of you knows whether or not you have been faithfu l in your church attendance, loyal in your daily Chris­t ian life, and cooper ative in your giv­ing. Young people-and older people too,-are inclined t o take their church membersh ip too lightly. They have not been impressed with the serious­ness of their decision to become a part of Christ's great institu t ion. They have not been taught to give first p lace to the work of t he institution fo1· which Christ gave himself. Some of us put too much impo1·tance on school work, a nd social and home life.

Next, we should strive for the ad-

vancement of our church es in know­ledge, holiness, and com f o rt. we should know the h i st o r y of our church and its doctrines so that we can fully obey a ll church . or dinances. The Bible should be studied daily so that in all walks of l ife we can follow Christ's footsteps. To k eep the church more holy we can r efrain from talk­ing, g iggling, and note writing.

We should also promote t he church ' prosperity and spirituality. You nee~ no explanation about promot ing You church's prosperity, but I wonder ho r many of us give our share of w h ~ God has given to us to the churc~? You yourself can a nswer that questi · God expects us .to be stewards for h~n . by g iving one-tenth of a ll money 1{:1 has g iven us, to him in return for h.e unspeakable gift of love to u s. ls

Every church has ideals and sta ards which they expect their Yound­people to follow. They a re not Wl'ittn.g laws which we are forced to obey en fact, too many churches are too le· . In with their young people. You klent the ideals of your owin in div· ~ow church.

Bla:ze SYNOPSIS

Dale Mars, who had r esigned his profitable position as radio announcer, joined the Warings at t heir lake front cottage, but his in terest was far keen­er in Nova Louv e r n e, a children's teacher at the nearby Crystal Bible Conference, than in t he daughter of the Warings, Adalene, a worldly friend of his in the radio office. One evening, after the conference service, Da le and Adalene went strolli ng a long the shore of the lake. Dale was about to tell her that their friendship could never become anything m or e, when suddenly Nova appeared in a bathing suit for a dip into the Jake. In his exitement Dale left his fountain p en near t hf, rustic bench, which Nova gave back t o him on the next day at the birthday party for her invalid mother. As she did so, s he said to D a le with smiling lips: "It certainly is a lovely pen!"

CHAPTER TWELVE He stared at it unbelieving ly. Quick

color came into his face not only be­cause of what he was th inking but because his hand touched hers , and touching it, he felt a thrill go through him which made h im r ealize how very much in love with her he was.

Dr. Remsen saw t he little trans­action and flus hed indig nantly; and a s they had done in the park that after ­noon, the eyes of the two m en met and locked in sober conflict.

Nova saw that look anc.l fe lt the momentary pride a woman feels when strong men s truggle for her hand. Dr. and Mrs . W est also saw and under­stood and cast their sympathi es on the side of Dale Mars . Miss Barry saw and wondered and t old herself it was very interesting indeed and s he hoped the best man lost, for to her, Kenneth Remsen, B. A., M. D., was the best man in a ll the world.

Maria Louverne, her happy old hear t singing because s he was with . Nova again, and because s he was gomg to hear face to face at the conference men whose writings s he had long loved, saw too, and was troubled. She ~aw Nova's hand linger in Dale's, saw quick color flash into t he faces of both the man and the g irl , watched them as they excused themselves and walke_d slowly out across the Jawn toward his car. She smiled knowingly to her self, coi led her hopelessly twistrd fing-crs into a still tighter knot a nd then looked far out over the blue lake to a spot on l he oppos ite s hore too far to be :<een with her old eyes' bu t not too fa r i.o remembci·.

'"Now the God of peace that brought again from the dead the Lord Je­sus . .. " That was it, he needed peace, the God of peace, "that great shepherd of the s heep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant ... "

Back and forth his arms moved as he crept s lowly a long .;ome twenty yards from s hore. He knew it was an un:·avorable time of day for fishing L1ut then everything was unfavorable today. Everything " .. . make you per­fect in every good work to do His will . . ."

"Thy will, Father, nothing more, nothing less, noth ing else."

.. . . . ......... There wer e no conference sessions

on Saturday afternoon, the time bei~g given over to recreation and rest m preparation for t he final day tomor­row. Ken would have it no other way than for Nova to t ake a spin around the lake with him. He Jrnd rented a new deluxe Chris-Craft and came purring up to t he dock at two-thirty in the afternoon. H e knew all a bout motor boat s because he had one of his own in Minnesota.

Bowing gallantly like a hanclsome movie star, and looking like one, Nova thought, he assisted her into the dee?­cushioned front seat and climbed m bes ide her , saying, "A11d now, my queen, fairest of a ll beauties, we dash away on my t rus ty steed, now dash­.1way, dash-away, dash-away all."

The motor started with a roar, then settled down almost immediately to a

· tes steady droning , and in a few mrnu they were s hooting out across the waves. The Jake lay before, behind and on either side of them like a great blue deser t with a g laring sun beating down upon it. As always there was some­thing t hrilling about being with Ken. He was so daring, so colorfu l, so v~ry sure of himself and wh at he was gorng to do, and so very careful.

After fif teen minutes of racing and s and !';topping and cutting wide curve .

splashing back through the deep water lanes they had carved only a few sec­onds before they settled down to a

said "And now my pretty Blaze Star, t I ' ' cl at me so e I me why you flare up fiercely this morning and what ! have to do to be saved so I can cl am~,,the honor of ask ing you to marry me·

H e countered with, " I certailllY don',: want to be lost, whatever t hat means.

" Perhaps not, but you do not be-

"How's that, little Missionary?" She quoted to him that which to her

"God's W·ord declares, concerning Jesus, 'He that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already because hE: hath noi; believed on the Name uf th:.. oPly begotten Son of God.' "

"You believe that !" He at her very sober face. derision in the way he thought.

"That I, Dr. Remsen, a good moral man, Jiving a decent upright life, am a lost soul and will wind up in hell if I don't r epent, when I have nothing of which to r epent?"

"You might repent of that!" she said earnestly. "All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, and he t hat sayeth he hath no sin deceiveth himself.''

"Go ahead," he said, evidently irked. "Keep on quoting your platitudes. Make me out a terrible sinner, hold over me the threat of judgment!"

"I should like to hold up Christ to you, Ken," she said quietly. "He is the One altogether lovely. If you knew H im as I know Him, you would love Him too."

He yawned, deliberately, it seemed to her, and said, "We seem to be get­ting nowhere, Nova. Why can't we just agree to disagree, take a generous attitud~ ~oward ~ach other and r egard our rehg10us behefs as sacred to our­selves a lone?"

They wer e near t he other side of the Jake now where t he shore r ose abruptly from the water 's edge to a height of forty or. more feet. Maple, ash and el~1 saplings. covered with a tangle of wild grape vmes grew in profusion all aiOJ_1 g the s lope. I\:en steered slowly for a li t tle ca pe a nd drew up at a dilapi­dated old clock, where he moored to an upright along the side. . 1;he_ could feel what was coming and 111 spite of herself was afraid. Memo­ries came t o her of that nigh t she was in nurse's t raining and when under the mag~ietic spell of his per~onality and of his fervent declarations of love she had almost promised to marry him'.

A rickety old wooden stairway wound its way up the bank to a wea­t her ed, neglected cottage. If he had deliberately planned it, he could not have selected a. more romantic p lace. If t he man beside her were not Ken­neth Remsen but Dale Mars . ..

"Listen! " she excla imed, interrupt­ing her own thoughts. "Isn't that an owl?" A low, moaning "mew" ffoated down from t he old cottage. It was fol­lowed by a series of derisive hoots. "He doesn't approve of what you are going to say," she suggested. "The

Page 191

motor has evidently awakened him from his afternoon nap."

He was more than ser ious. " I may as well come straight to t he point in question," he said grimly.

She was not meeting his eyes, not caring to. She was bracing herself for the ordeal, for it was going to be that she was sure. "How long will it take?': she asked.

''Confound you, Nova! You can be exasperating, at times! "

" I am thinking of Mother and won­dering if she is worrying about me be­ing out on the lake."

"'When you should be thinking about us."

"Are you sure this trip isn't going to be too much for her?"

"lt won't hurt her in the least. She wanted to come, and Dr. Rogers says to let her have anything she wants within r eason, of course." '

"So, b_ecause s_he wanted to come for the closrng sessions of the conference and because you wanted to come too-"

"Because I wanted to see a certain young lady who doesn't know her ow mind-" n

"Oh yes, I do." " Seriously, Nova, didn't you tell me

He became intensely in earnest, and she found herself pitying him not alone for his spiri tual blindness, but because of the suffering she must cause him. She saw the little velvet-lined box in his hand and pitied him still more. She saw the glistening diamond and lmew that he must have planned well. The boat r ocked gently on the waves, pushed against the dock, nosed away again. Birds chirped and s~ng in the t rees little waves lapped agamst the shore a~d against their boat. For one moment a ll the things that would be he1·s if she were to marry Kenneth Remsen flashed before her mind: wealth, socia l position, a love!~ mo­dern home, servants, t r avel, leisure ; but they appeared to her not . as a temptation for they awakened m her no respons~, but as the Savior'~ test­ing in the wilderness. She did not want t hem at the price she must pa~, she did not want them at all, nor did she want Kenneth Remsen.

"It's beautiful, Ken. It will make some woman h appy."

At last she met his eyes and saw how very much in earnest he wa.s and she felt deeply f-0r him, but only m the way a lover of birds might f:el a~. the sight of one with a broken wmg. No, Ken," she said gently. "It can never be."

His answer was an accusation. "You love another."

She did not reply at fi rst. She. had asked herself that question many tn~es during the past week without feeh ng that a definite answer was necessary. To herself her only reply h ad been a little glad ' feeling in her breast-and a jealous feeling, for she had no~ b~en able to think of Dale without thmkmg also of Adalene. Even now she could not say "Yes," for that word and the meaning of it seemed sacred to herself and to the man she loved.

She was spared having to answer for from behind them cam~ the soft splash, splash of oar blades m the w~­ter, and the squeaking of rusty oaI­locks. They both turned to lo~k. T~~~ both saw Dale Mars, who, rowmg Wl

his back to the prow of his boat, was unaware of t hem until he was almost upon them, half hidden as they w: r e by t he branches of an overhanging elm.

As blue and brown eyes had done lhrice befor e, so now they met, and this t ime th er e was mo1·e than chal­lenge in their inter change of e~pres­sion. Ther e was fir e and anger m ~he blue eyes. There was an answermg fire in the brown ones.

Dale's boat brushed against the ma­hogany sides of t he Chris-Craft. His was a batter ed old fishing boat that had seen many a season and carried many a happy or a disconsolate fisher­man. Today it carried a puzzled and a heartsick one.

"Sorry if we parked at your dock,"

Ken said. The words were gracious, the tones touched with sarcasm.

"Not at all," Dale replied. "I should have watched where I was going."

"You want to t ie up here?" Ken asked. Again the wor ds wer e cou1t­eous.

Dale cast his eye about t he little cove and at the dilapidated old dock, followed the zigzagging course of t he wooden stairs up to the cottage perched at the top, half hidden among the trees. " If it's a ll the same to you, I guess I'll be t rolling a long." He was s tudying Nova's profile, waiting for her to look at him.

Nova was thinking how much she would rather ride with Dale in his battered old fishing boat than with Ken in his new runabout. I t would be fun to go splashing along with Dale, sitting in the stern, watching his strong arms pulling at the oars, trail­ing her hand in the passing waters. Sitting here a rguing with Ken was becoming more and more distasteful to her. She r ealized it fully, now that Dale had come.

She spoke quickly, "Fishing ought to be as good here as anywhere. It's getting a little choppy farther out."

"Three is a crowd," Da le said be­ginning to reel in his line and ex~lain­ing that it would get all tangled up if he didn't.

Ken's unseeing eyes were glued to the zi.gzagging stairway. She could feel his anger, and that of the man · the fishing boat, the one fired by ha;; the other temper ed by grief. ' Dale was taking his time reeling .

slowly, while his boat per~isted s t ~~ bornly in drifting back toward ~he dock.

The ring and its case had disap­peared, and with it, Nova knew that from her heart had gone forever all her love for Kenneth Remsen. "Do you kn~w wha~ I would like to do?" she ex­cla~med w1~h enthusiasm. She did not w~1t for him :to answer. " I'd like to chmb that stairway right to the top!"

In another second she was standin with one hand on the upright. In an~ other, she was out on the dock.

Dr; Rem.sen was still glar ing. He wasn t seeing her at a ll, but seemed deeply absorbed in his anger. She could not blame him for getting angry but he could at least bring himself un­der control and make the best of t h situation. e

"Come on!" she cried to him and ran lig htly toward the shore.

He did not come. He was thinking how definitely she had spurned his proposal. He did not need a verba l answer to his question, "You love an­other?" Her attitude was as emphatic as if she had screamed it at him. He wa tched her running lightly up the dock, saw her hesitate for a moment at the foot of the s tairs, then start

T HE BAPTIST HERALD

slowly up. He was sure the eyes of the man in the fishing boat were fol­lowing her. If not his eyes, a t least his thoughts, and his heart .

Kenneth Remsen knew in the way a man has of knowing such things, that he had lost her. Lost h er not to­day, but two years ago when she bad decided to become a Christian worker. She had never been the same since t hen. She had been finer and sweeter a~d mor e desirable, but he was con­vinced at last that she was not for him. She would not fit in with his life's plans.

Half way up the stairs Nova s topped. She could not have stayed in t hat boat another minute without screaming. She had had to get out. Now for a moment she was free and the feeling of being smother ed' was gone.

Then it was that she heard the roar of the Chris-Craft motor as it started. He was expecting her to come down, she t hought, so t hey could drive back. He had started the motor to gain her a t tention. Well, she wouldn't go back! She was going to climb a ll the way to the top, and if he didn't care to follow, he didn't have to ! She h 0 p e d he wouldn't.

No, she wouldn't look. She fixed her eyes on the next s tep, and the next, and c I i m bed higher. The motor chugged smoothly and then without warning it ~vas r~aring again, a wild sort of roaring like that which a speed boat makes when it is in a race. She looked back just in time to see a flash of gleaming mahagony shoot across the water \~ith a might y roa r of motor and spraying foam, its brass and bronze hardware ablaze with sunlight. She .could see his red-brown head held straight and grim as he steer ed f~r the open lake, and she knew he was gone from her life forever.

A W onderful Clock T o w er in Z urich, Switzerland

I am sur e you know now. I can hint to you that most of t he face of that clock is then covered with snow a nd ice.

Standing between the quarters of the clock t here are other figures. How many of these can you count a lto­gether? Twelve ! How many months are there in a yea r ? You know­twelve ! So you see this clock has all the figures, and, what is still stranger, it marks all t he figur es by flower s and fruils, for there a re different flowers and colors on leaves in every month of t he year.

There is something s t ill more won­derfu l about God's clock. I wa nt you to remember th is, too, so that from t ime to time dur ing the year you may know how lo use your eyes and 11otice how fast time fl ies when you sec what God is doing in t he fields.

This is it ! God's clock tells the hours of the day as well as the months of t he vear. T he months ar c lhc twelve fig­~res, bul ~·ou know that between the figures arc the little minu tes made up of seconds. The minutes on G.id's clock a rc days, and the seconds a r c hours, and the clock Lelis the~e a 11.

If you will watch ca refully during ,;pring and summer, you w ill find that ~very flower wakes u p in lhe morn ing a nd goes to s leep in I.he evening at. a diffe rent time than all a t.her flowers. Some begin to open long before you a \\·ake, and these go to bed ear ly. Others wake up later. and some only

open for a little about noonday, a nd these we would call " sleepy ones."

Wha t can be the meaning of God's clock? Is it not to tell us t hat t ime is parning? Does it not say that unless we grow r ight in the springtime of our li:e, we shall not be able, when the summer of our life comes, to g o back to the springtime and m end what has been wrong? Does it not teach u s that what we ar e in the springtime is j ~st what we shall be in t he sum~ mer, only mor e so? The fig t r ee t ells us early in t he spring what it is going to be in the summer , and you are sh ow­ing now what you ar e going to be when you a re grown up.

If ycu a re good boys and g ir ls, then try har d even to become better. I f you ar e naughty or bad boys a nd g irls wouldn't you like to become better, be~ cause the time on God's clock goes vc1·y fast ?

But what can we do to become bet­ter, you say? Learn to g r ow a s the flowers and birds grow. How is t h a t ? By always looking at t he sun and drinking its light and following it , For t he flower s follow the sun wit !~ their heads, and so they become bea u ­tiful.

J ust as God has a special clock for all things, he also has a special sun for people to follow. We cannot f ol low the sun like plants, and so God h·ot~ a special and most wonderful su n f~1• people to fo llow. You will find th· t sun ment ioned .in the Bible. in Malachi 4 :2 \vhich predicts t he commg of J es into t he world. The ver se says : "B~~ unto you that fear my ~ame shall tl sun of righteousness ar ise w ith h 1t ing in his wings." This pr omised ~a -r ose when J esus was born in Beth~~~ hem.

All children and grown folk s sho 1 look to t his sun, J esus, in faith ut cl

W HAT IT MEANS TO SUPPORT MY CHURCH

Scripture References : Matt. 16 :13-20; 1. Car. 16:1-9; Rev. 3:7-13.

1. We Nee d the Church It a lmost goes without saying that

we need the church. Chr ist founded his church upon the living witness of his disciples as the agency to propogate his gospel and truths. That was t rue of Peter, as it is true of every disciple of Christ, that t he Savior was able and is still ab le to build his Chur ch upon the work of such a faithful w it ­ness. (Matt. 16 : 13-20.) We need the Church for i ts worshipful inspiration, for the strength that comes to us in working with others, for the renewal of our faith in Christ.

(Point out in several ways how we need the church's ministry. Give il­lustrations and personal examples to substantiate your point of view. )

2. The Church Needs U s In 1. Cor. 16: 1-9 the apostle Paul

exhorts his readers to lend thei r sup­port to the Church because of its need of t hei r g ifts· and prayers. The great­est enemy of the Church today is in­difference a nd neglect. The Church ne~ds the w~ole-hearted support and faithfu l service of every member in Christlike cooperation with others.

In his book, "Devotional Life of Young People," the Rev. Clarence W .

Cranford draws some decisive conclu­sions from a telling story.

"A certain Negro coach driver was an adept marksman with a whip. He could flip his whip and flick off a leaf, or a small branch, as he rode along. One day his attention was called to a wasp's nest. 'Let's see if you ca n hit that,' someone proposed. 'No, sah !' he r eplied, 'dey's or ganized.' The for ces of oppression and untruth are organ­ized today. And they're not staying in their nests. The for ces of sin never do. There is no time when men do not need Christ. He is the way, and the hope of the world, a nd the church is his body. Evangelism is our mission. To intrcduce men to Christ and guide them in their Christia n growth, what agency would do that if the church did not? Neither bombs nor insidious propaganda will prevail against t he church. Its serious menace lies in the direction of those who profess to be­lieve in it, but do little or nothing to support it . Ther e is one way to k ill ~ov;or t~e church : Neglect it. Then ~t n:ius_t die by inches, slowly wither­ing 111 its shame.'"

(Show how church members can easily neglect t heir responsibili ties to the Church).

3. The Ideal Church The church in Phi ladelphia was, in

some ways, an ideal church . (Rev. 3 :7 -13. Descri~e this chur ch) . All of us make Or fai l to make our contribution to the ideal picture of this Church. ~r. Cranford in his same book, men­tioned before, points out that "what we become in Christ, the Church be­comes," until the Church speaks t h is heart-to-heart message to u s :

"I am Your church. Make of me what you will. I shall reflect yon as clearly as a mirror. If outwar dly, mY ?PPearance is pleas ing and inviting, it 1s. b~cause you have made me so. If "'.

1thin , my spiritual a tmosphere is k11

_1dly, yet earnest ; reverent, yet friendl_y; worshipful, yet sincere ; sym­pat hetic, yet strong ; divine, yet hum­anl1 expressed; i t is but t he manifes­ta~ion of the spir it of those who con­stitute my membersh ip. But if you should, by chance, find me a bit cold or dull , I beg of you not to condemn 1:ie, for I _show forth only the kind of life I. r~ce1ve from you. I have no life or Spll'Jt apart from you. Of this you ~nay always be assured : I will respond mstant ly to your every wish practi­?ally expressed, for I am the reflected image of your own soul. Make of me what you will ."

What are we doing to support the ~hu_rch by helping to make it the ideal mstitution that Christ wanted it to be as he founded it here upon t his earth?

Southwestern Conference Bethany Church of Kansas

Holds a Banquet For Children in Interest of Scripture

Memorization On Wednesday evening, April 10,

the Bethany Baptist Church of Ves per, Kansas, held a banquet and p r ogram for t he boys and g irls who had taken part in the Scripture Memory work of our Southwestern Conference. T he ladies of our Mission Circle are spon­soring that work through and w ith t he cooperation of the various schools in the vicini ty of the church.

At six o'clock on that evening, about 75 boys and girls with their teachers and other workers gather ed in the basement of the church for a delicious meal served to them by the Miss ion Circle. Bluebirds flying over each ta­ble and bearing a school name helped each one find his p lace. The tab.Jes were gay with Dutch windmills, tulips blossoming out of wooden shoes, and favors of cup cakes centered wit~ a gay tulip candy sucker. A m erry t ime Was enjoyed with the s ing ing of r ounds and an extemporaneous number from each school.

At eight o'clock t he entire group and many parents and friends fi lled the auditorium of the church for the Program with the R ev. J. H. Kornel­sen.' the pastor, in charge. Most in~er­estrng and entertaining were t he sl ides and motion pictures which were shown by Mr. Ernest Hildebrand of Stafford, Kansas. These pictures showed many scenes of farm life the beauties of na­ture and views of 'Camp Carlisle n ear ~tafford , where those who have learned h.e required number of Bible. ver ses

W11l have three days of camp this sum­mer without charge.

Mrs. Will Wirth who has been. in charge of religiou~ educat ion dur~ng the past year, gave a mo~t in teresting talk about the m em orization work. . At the close, she called t he boys and g irls ~ the platform and they gave a prac­tical demonstration of what they have been learning.

We believe al l who were in attend­ance were greatly inspired by what they saw and heard and that they went away with a greater vision of the things that might be accompl i.sl~ed thr~ugh this great work of memorizing Scripture.

Dakota Conference Forty Conversions in

Eva ngelistic Meetings Held in Goodrich, North Dakota

For two and one half weeks in March and April the German Baptist Church of Goodrich, No. Dak., held evangelistic meetings, in which the Rev. W. H . W eyhrauch of J amestown, No. Dak., served as our guest speak­er. Through his positive and heart­searching messages our people were spi ritually stirred and brought to a more consecrated, eamest Christian life. Through the preaching of the Word of God persons began to examine their lives on which road they were and for which goal they were head~ ing . To many the spirit of God r e­vea led the futility of a life without J es us Christ as thei r Savior, and for many evenings souls came to the a ltar and accepted him as their personal Savior. I n these meetings 4 0 persons were saved and four others made a new beginning.

With the meetings of las t Fall in which t he Reverends A. Rosner of Turtle L ake and G. P. Schroeder of Max helped us, eighteen persons were saved which brings our total number of conver ts and r eclaimed to 62. How­ever, not all of them will be candi­dates for baptism because some of them are from .t he E vangel ical Church. Last Sunday it was decided to have our bap t ismal service on Sunday, June 30, at Brush Lake, nea r Mercer. . .I n con£equence of the r evival a def-1111te forward step has been taken by a.II bra nches of the church, and espe­cia lly our young people's society has greatly benefitted by this new spirit ual experience. A. Young P eople's Choir has bee~ orga~1zecl under the pastor's l~adersh1p, which set as its goal to sm~ every Su nday evening hymns of praise to the glory of Goel .

. We are very g rateful to the Lord fo r his wonde~·ful work in our midst due to t he serv ices r endered by Brother W eyhrauch. A . E. REEH, P astor.

Central Conference Great Days in the Baptist

Church at St. Joseph, Michigan We of the Baptist Church in St. J 0 _

seph, Mich., have not let ourselves be heard from for a long t ime, but we have had s~me g reat days and some grand expe'.·1ences which we are h appy to share with readers of "The Ba ptif't H erald." On Pa lm Sunday. March 17, twenty-one persons came forward to accept and to confess Christ. On Eas­ter Sunday twenty conver ts fol lowed Christ in baptism. At the communion service on Sunday, April 7, twenty­( hrce persons came into the church. S •nce the Rev. L. H. Brocker came to us as pastor five years ago, 163 mem­bers have been r eceived into the c-hurch. All of them have come through the regular services, without any s pecia l meetings of any kind at any time.

THE BAPTIST HERALD

During the past year a new r oom has been added to the building to meet the need of a growing Sunday School. Recently we opened a new Sunday School in a lovely stone chapel, that had been closed for 18 yea rs . T his was started as a miss ionar y pr oject by the S unday School, but from the fi r st S unday, when there were 79 pres­ent, it has been self -supporting .

During recent months two more of our fine young people at the Children's Home have been united in ma rriage. Violet Patzer, who had been brought up in the Home, remained in the city as helper, and Lester P eter s, one of t he Home's young men, upon leaving the same, found work i n our t own. The year s intensified their acquaintance and r esulted in their marriage on a r e­cent Saturday. The marriage was per­formed by our pastor, wi t h " P a Ste i­ger" giving the bride away in mar­riage. Violet's sister, Evelyn, a ttend­ed her while Gus Beirnfohr, anot her alumnus of the home, was L ester's best man. This is only the second time that two young people, both of whom were brought up in the Home, have been united in m arriage.

The fu ture looks encou ragingly bright for our chur ch, and we purpose to make it what our s logan says : "A Gospel Lig ht-House on the Shores of L ake Michigan." EDWARD S. DOESCHEI!, Chur ch Clerk.

Easter Season Activities of the Steamboat Rock Young People

This year the young people of the German Baptist Church in Steamboat Rock, Iowa, determined to use their fine ability and t a lents in the 1·ender­ing of an Easter cantata. T hey set to work with a will and rehearsed at every oppor tunity under the able lead­ership of Mrs. Leonard De Vries.

When the g lorious E aster day dawned, they were ready to sing the praises of Christ who died for our sins and rose again for our justifica­tion. Before a deeply appreciative and attentive audience they rendered with artis tic skill the beautiful cantata, " Redemption's Song." The cantata, t hrough the melodious voices of the s ingers, spoke with spiri tual power to all who heard it.

On the following Tuesday evening, March 26, t hey journeyed to Mason City to render the cantata in the beau­tiful and spacious Radio Chapel, of which the Rev. Car l Sentman is the

It will be impossible to send any other material to the Came-1·0011 Mission fields for some time, a nd churches are reques ted not to send any n1or e until an announcement from Dr. Kuhn appears in our publications.

From her beautiful soul t here goes forth a constant str eam of cheerful r adiant messages in letters, p r ayers and thoughts for other s. Both of t he Seils sisters, who spent many year s of ser­vice as missionaries in the F leisch­mann Memorial Church of Philadel­phia, Pa., and the First G er m a n Church of Brooklyn, N.

BE THOU AN EXAMPLE! (Continued from Page 185)

While hints for achievement have been includ­ed in the above, we may sum them up in the fol­lowing. First of all, Timothy is charged with this solemn duty, "Study to show thyself ap­proved unto Goel, a workman that neecleth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." This charge Paul makes frequently, by implication if not in the same words, throughout the letters to his young friend. A true leader must always r emain a learner, particularly in the school of the Spirit and of prayer. Only then will he be able to administer and dispense rightly the word of truth .

Furthermore, he stresses the need of prayer, all-inclusive, balanced prayer. (1. Tim. 2 :1-8.) Truly we frequ ently "have not, because we ask not,'' or else because of lack of exercise of our faculty of prayer "we ask amiss." More believ­ers fail to achieve success in Christian living be­cause of lack of a prayer-life than on any other score. With Andrew Murray we would say to these: "May God open our eyes to see what the holy ministry is to which, as his royal priesthood, we have been set apart. May he give us a large and strong heart to believe what mighty influ­ence our prayers can exert. And may all fear a s to our being ab le to fulfil our vocation vanish as

THE BAPTIST HERALD

we see J esus, living ever to pray, Jiving in us to pray, and standing surety for our prayer-life."

Train ing in G odliness Then again, Timothy is directed to put all that

he knows and has learned into practice and "exercise (Greek, "train") thyself rather unto godliness." ( 1. Tim. 4 :7b-8). Finally, Paul charges him: "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithfu l men, who shall be able to teach others a lso." (2 . Tim. 2 :2.) Teaching others is an important factor in becoming a true pattern, for one must know t he subject both theoretically as well as experimentally, before one can properly impart it to others. Teaching others properly can also be and usually is an education in itself to the instructor. The model Christian, therefor e, is a teacher, both by pre­cept as well as instruction.

As we face such a worthwhile even though difficult challenge, dare we refuse to yield our­selves to the service of the King of kings, and Lord of lords? Remember that

"Christ has no hands but our hands To do his work today;

He has no feet but our feet To lead men in his way;

H e has no tongues but our tongues To tell men how he died;

He has no help but our help To bring men to his side."

-Annie Johnson Flint.

Daphne Dunger, who was born to our missionaries, George

and Louise Dunger, in June, 1939, in distant Africa has been

called affectionately by the black natives of Warwar "the White

Piccaninny, Daphne Dunger, of Mambila." She has opened many

hearts of the native Negroes to her parents because of her love­

ly and winning smile. In her own way she, too, is one of our

missionaries.

We are now planning to distribute " Daphne Dunger Savings

Banks" to be used principally in our Sunday Schools a nd Young

P eople's Societies. This suggestion was made by Mrs. Walter

Grosser, superintendent of the Primary department of the For­

est Park Sunday School. Two interesting pictures of Daphne

appear on these attractive banks. Send your orders at once to

Rev. Wm. Kuhn, Box 6, Forest Park, Ill., and state how many banks are to be sent.

The offerings from these banks are to be designated "The

Daphne Dunger Savings Bank Offering" and sent to Dr. Kuhn. A detailed report of these gifts will appear from time to time in "The Baptist Herald."
