Douglas Ensmnger, economst of the U. S.Department of Agrculture, Washngton, D. C.

As have seen the rural Church and talk wth rural leaders throughout the country, detect no lessenng of nterest n relgon.

Surely there s mert n beng busy and n dong, We mean beng busy at constructve \,vork and dong worth, whle deeds. We must guard aganst beng so busy and dong so much that no tme, energy, and nclnaton arc left for quet and medtaton. The psalmst exhorts: "Be stll and know that am God," Psalm 46: loa. Matthew Henry ponts out that verses 6,11 of the 46th Psalm "gve glory to God both as Kng of natons and as Kng of sants." The latter one, "as Kng of sants," s of prmary concern to us here. t s our part to declare: Great and mar' vellous are thy works, Lord God Almghty; just and true are thy ways, thou Kng of saln ts." Revc la ton 15: 3.

Although Eljah bemoaned that he was the only one left who was servng the Lord, the Lord showed hm that there were seven thousand n srael who,\vor' shped Hm, not Baal. n revealng Hmself to Eljah on Mount Horeb, the Lord was not n the wnd, He was not n the earthquake, He was not n the fre.

Ths s true of Amerca, of England, of France, of Germany, of Russa. t s true of every natun, We kno,v what the hume s. What relaton, then, exsts between the home and hope? And, '\vhat s hope? Desre, Expectaton, and Belef As defned, Hope s "'desre accompaned wth expectaton of obtanng what ls desred, or helef that t s obtanable." One may wsh for somethng hut unless wth the \vsh there s "desre accompaned wth expectaton of obtanng what s dc' sred, or belef that t s obtanable," the matter ends n \vshful thnkng and hope does not enter the pcture. What relaton does exst between the home and hope? A very close one, ndeed! When a man and a woman become serj

3 :.1 1.,.~ 300 ously nterested n each other. the estab, lshment of a home has alreauy begun. They desre ~o have a home and they have the expectaton of obtanng t. They beleve that a home s obtanable. Con' sequently, they plan and work n that drecton. - What a vast dfference t makes when the contractng partes are Chrs, tan. Ther home wll be bult upon Chrst, lke prncples. Only Chrstan homes wll stand the test of ths crucal age. Trust and Relance Hope, also, s "trust, relance." The psalmst declared: "Happy s he that hath the God of Jacob for hs help, whose hope s n the Lord hs God." Psalm 146: 5. Accordng to one comment, God s only '\vorthy to be trusted." True. Yet, under Hs plan for the race of men, He has mplanted a worthness n those whom He has created n Hs own mage. He has mparted to them an element of trust n one another. n certan relatonshps promses and contracts between hun:an bengs can be reled upon. Such trust, such relance are foundaton stones n buldng sound home lfe. f the wfe cannot depend upon the husband and the husband upon the wfe, where s the stablty of the home? Where are mutual love and respect toward each other? And n homes blessed wth chldren, f the chldren cannot depend upon the parents and the parents upon the chldren, where s the securty of the home? Where are comradeshp. mutual concern, and nner strength wth whch to meet the storms of lfe? Chrstan homes are the hope of our day. God s Our Hope Hope, too. s the "One on \,v hom acton or future hopes are centered."... The Lord wll be the hope of hs people. and the strength of the chldren of srael.~' Joel 3: 16. ".. : Thou art my hope, 0 Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth." Psalm 71: 5. God s our hope as a naton, He S our hope as ndvduals. s t any wonder that a naton s rotten at heart when the leaders of that naton come from rotten homes? Rot n the home sets n when God s ruled out. No Chrstan home wll ntentonally rule out God. But Satan s workng so subtly and n a dozen ways to wn the loyal tes of the home. f he cannot wn them, he uses every means at hs command to confuse ssues, take the tme of mem' bers n worthless and harmful entertan' ment and so dsspate ther attenton and energes that only the dregs are left for God. The character of a naton wll never rse above the character of ts homes. Truly Chrstan homes wll gve God frst place. t may be n the smple, yet all,mportant matter of grace at meals. Thrce neglected, t becomes more dff, cult to resume. As n matters of daly worshp and reverence, of daly work and recreaton, so n tmes of decsons and crses, of lfe's plans and choces - God wll have frst place n truly Chrstan homes. A naton wll become truly Chrstan only as ts homes are that way. Our homes are our hope!

Colo. (Gven Aprl 6,1950. over Staton KBOL. Boulder. Colo.) n our day of materalsm " thngs" hold qute an attracton. At Easter tme some of us are drawn to Church by the clothes we wear. The so'called 'move" seems to draw young and old, no matter what knd of a pcture s shown. Men and women are dra\vn to the modern dance. Then too, that "thng" called the cgarette draws people. When people are drav.rn to t, then they seek to draw on t. Not only do "thngs" attract people, but upeople" have an attracton for each other. When was n college n West Vrgna a certan Chrstan grl by her attracton seemed to draw me. There was some thng" whch seemed to draw us together. That "thng" was love. Whether t s love for Uthngs" or love for a "person," love does have ts drawng power. The person Chrst, as He \valked upon ths earth sad, uand. f be lfted up _.., wll draw all men unto me." n short, Chrst was sayng, " f be lfted upon the cross, wll attract all men unto.. me. A couple of months ago our eght, month,old boy grabbed and swallovjed a safety pn. As t lodged n hs throat he began to choke and spt blood. Rush, ng to hs sde, was unable to wthdraw the pn because t was open and turned the wrong way. dd manage to release t, but he swallowed t. Havng rushed hm to Boulder Communty Hosptal, a doctor took an X'ray whch dsclosed that the pn was n the stomach. We were told that t mght be possble to remove t by the attracton of a steel magnet. Runnng a tral test, the doctor found that only about half of the pns, smlar to the one swallowed, were drawn to the magnet. Nevertheless, we decded to try the opera' ton. A frend speedly drove us to the Chldren's Hosptal at Denver. The doctor faled to show up untl after the pn had passed nto the ntestne. Snce t was now mpossble to use the magnet, nature had to take ts course. Our knd Heavenly Father saw to t that the pn ddn't lodge along ts course, and n less than twenty' four hours the boy passed the pn. The pont of the ncdent s ths: A steel magnet doesn't attract every Uthng." There a.re some thn~s over whch t doesn't exert any nfluence. But there s one Person v"ho can attract and draw every other person n the unverse today. That s the person of Chrst. He Hmself empha, tcally sad. "And, f be lfted up..., wll draw all men unto mc." What s there about the person of Chrst whch draws people to Hmself? t s Hs love! t s love whch draws two young people together n~ marrage and thus they are one n all thngs. n the Gospel accordng to John we have the spoken words of the person of Chrst to Hs dscples, "Greater love hath no m;tn than ths, that a man lay down hs l1fe for hs frends." Out of a heart of sacrfcal love. God gave the lfe of Hs only Son n death that we mght have llfe. The "good news" n a nutshell s ths: "God so loved the world that he gave hs only begotten Son...." And the Son of God wlln~ly lad down Hs own lfe for us. Rather than escape from the enemy and save Hs own lfe, He permtted them to take Hm. He chose to let them say al manner of evl aganst Hm falsely, to rdcule, and mock Htn. He drank the cup of shame and sufferng. As He watched, He permtted them to drve the nals nto Hs hands through the wooden crosspece. Then, as the. blood began to ooze out from the jagged wounds n Hs hands, He chose to let them drve nals through Hs feet, and pn them fast to the uprght. n order for Hs body to reman n an uprght poston durng those long hours of sufferng on the cross, He chose to let them fasten a board between Hs legs, wth the weght of Hs body on the sharp board. As they 1fted Hm up, they purposely dropped the cross, wth Hs nal perced hody upon jt,

4 \ ' ! \ c,, \.vth a thud nto the earth, whch tore the flesh even further from the nals n Hs hands and feet. As f that \.vere not enough, God chose to leave Hm there n that forsaken con' dton, that Hs Son alone mght not only suffer physcally, but sprtually. And n Hs nternal agony and torment He cred out, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" As f t \.vere not enough that H s dscples should forsake Hm; no\.v, Hs o\.vn Father. Why? Oh, why? Why dd Chrst go through all of that? Why dd God permt Hm to suffer there alone? n order that Hs Son mght endure and undergo the soul torment you and would have undergone n hell beng eternally and conscously separated from our Father. All of ths Chrst chose to suffer that He mght draw us unto Hmself. You and wll never know the real agony whch tore through the Savour's heart as He hung there on the cross. He chose to suffer, and God permtted t, because the Father and Hs Son loved us so much that they ddn't want any of us to suffer and be punshed for our sn. Through Hs wonderful love, the suf, ferng Savour s able to draw men out of the depth of sn unto Hs blessed presence. HAnd, f be lfted up..., wll draw all men unto me," He sad. t was Hs great heart of love that prompted the Savour, even as He hung there sufferng, to assure the repentant thef, "To day, shalt thou be wth me n paradse." Frend, what s heaven, but the place where Jesus s. What s hell but that place where He s not. Heaven s to be wth Jesus. Wthout Hm we have no lfe; but, "'he that has the Son has lfe." n a poem enttled, "Jesus Only," we are told that: The lght of Hearven s the face of Jesus. The joy of Heaven s the presence of Jesus. The melody of Heaven s the name of Jesus. The harmony of Heaven s the prase of Jesus. The theme of Heaven s the work of Jesus. The employment of Heaven s the servce of Jesus. The fullness of Heaven s Jesus Hmself. The duraton of Heaven s the eternty of Jesus. Rado frend, there s no "thng," yea, no "person" that can compare to the person of the Lord Jesus. Have you been drawn to Hm? Does He have a "'drawng card" n your lfe? Has He by Hs gra' cous love drawn you out of the depths of sn, saved you from ts awful conse' quences, and brought you nto Hs glorous presence? He Hmself has promsed you, "f be lfted up..., wll draw all men unto me." He also has promsed, " am the lght of the 'world, he that follows me shall not \valk n darkness, but shall have the lght of lfe," Has the lght of Hs redeemng love been cast over your pres' ence? twas out of a heart of overflowng love that the Savour lfted fathless Peter out of storm~tossed waters unto Hs blessed sde. So that, had he known t, Peter would have been able to sng wth God's people today, "Love Lfted Me." was snkng deep n sn, Far from the peaceful shore, Very deeply staned wthn, Snkng to rse no more; But the Master of the sea Heard my desparng cry, From the waters lfted me, Now safe am. All my heart to Hm gve, Ever to Hm 'll clng, n Hs blessed presence lve, Ever Hs prases sng. Love so mghty and so true Merts my sours best songs; Fathful, lovng servce, too, To Hm belongs. Souls n danger, look above, Jesus completely saves; He wll lft you by Hs love Out of the angry waves. He's the Master of the sea, Bllows Hs wll obey; He your Savour wants to be Be saved today. Chorus Love lfted me! Love lfted me! When nothng else could help, Love lfted me. Frend, f you have never been drawn from the thngs of ths lfe to lfe ever' lastng n Jesus Chrst, ""\.von "t" you just now look to HUn? Obey the word when God sad, "Look unto me, and be ye sa ved, all the ends of the earth." Chrs, tan frend, f there are ""thngs" and.. cr, cumstances" whch are tossng you about so that your heart s troubled, "\von't" you, too, look to Jesus? He wll lft you above the storms' of lfe to lve n Hs protectng presence! Prayer: Our Father God, we thank Thee that Thou wast wllng that Thy Son should The lovelness of nature \voke no re' sponse n the hearts of Cleopas and hs companon as they walked to\vard Emmaus on the frst Easter Day. Nature was an antclmax after the thngs of whch they had been dreamng, They had seen ts beautes before, for they had kno\.vn ths road snce chldhood, They were qute sure that they knew everythng that could happen on that road, and yet as they walked along the famlar \.vay, they were among the shn' ng traffc of Heaven - and they dd not see t. We never see the \vhole of any road on whch we \valk, and the more famlar t s the less \.ve see t. Cleopas and hs frend were sufferng from the depresson of defeated dreams; for, although they now expected nothng on the Emmaus Road, they had expected tremendous thngs. They had been so nflamed that they had actually expected the settng up of God's kngdolll on earth - no less! But that was n Jerusalem, and whle Jesus was yet alve. Now Jesus was dead, and they were walkng along ths commonplace road - away from the only place where ther dreams could even begn to come true. Lke many others, they had left ther dreams bured n a grave. "Our own hope was that He would be the Redeemer of srael, but He s dead." The women, of course, had brought strange stores of an empty tomb, but be lfted upon the cross, and suffer n our stead, that we mght be dra wn to Hm! We prase Thee, 0 God, for Thy redeemng love whch was manfested toward us, We thank Thee for the assurance that Hs' love s able to dra w us and 11 f t us above the crcumstances of lfe, 0 Father, now that we are seated wlth Chrst n heavenly prtces, keep us n Hs glorous presence, For Jesus' sake, Amen Cleopas and hs frend had been too.sck at heart even to go to sec f Hs gra ve were empty. He was dead. N()thnJ~ could alter that. t was all over; hope was slan. And then, suddenly, there were three of them, Jesus Hmself --- Jesus who had been crucfed, dead, hured --- stl' ppeu onto that famlar road from some path n the world heyond death, and Journeyed wth them, He walked wth them for several mllcs and spoke wth them the greater part of an hour, hut they dd not recognz.e Hlm. And when recognltloll came, they re;lz.eu that unaccountahle thngs had heen happenng '\vthn thelr hearts all the tme, HThs was the reason our hearts were burnng as we walked along the way," they reasoned. Pulses of nohleness come to ;dl of us. They could not come from the envronment n whch we thnk \.JJe lve, but f we hold on to them, pay attenton to them, and try to understand them, they wll un vel for us, too, the face of the Rsen Chrst. The tomb s empty! Jesus has trumphed over death. He s rsen!

5 ,~l \ 'f! 1 1 '!.1,. 1, J 304 By ALBYN MACKNTOSH (Gven at the Sprng Meetng of the Pacfc Coast Assocaton, Rversde. Calf.. Aprl 7,9, 1950) UAnd, brethren, when came to you, came not wth excellency of speech or of wsdom, declarng unto you the testmony of God. For determned not to kno'w any thng among you, save Jesus Chrst, and hm 'crucfed. And was wth you n weakness, and n fear, and n much tremblng. And my speech and my preach, ng was not wth entcng words of man's wsdom, but n demonstraton of the Sprt and of power." 1 Cornthans 2: 1,4. Two hours ago dd not know that would be standng here and speakng to you. n preparng to come to ths asso' caton meetng, promsed to be ready to take the place of anyone from Los Angeles who was unable to get here. ~~Here am, use me. J" Very well remember a few years ago beng present at a fellowshp gatherng n a home n Los Angeles. Everyone there was nterested n seeng an actve Seventh Day Baptst fellowshp and n obtanng a pastor. That evenng the group pledged tself to be ready to take charge of the Sabbath servce at any tme they were called upon. Then they were ready to call a pastor. There s no need for a pastor untl the Church tself s ready to work and the ndvduals are ready to say, ~~H ~~ ere am,use me. Today the challenge to you and me s to be ready "not wth entcng words of man's wsdom, but n demonstraton of the Sprt and of power." Let me remnd you of the words of that great mssonary, Wllam Carey. He was a poneer n ms, son work. Remember that rus fellows opposed hs gong nto the new venture. t was a reckless, unheard of venture. Carey lstened and then responded,... you excel me n wsdom, especally n foresee' ng dffcultes. Therefore, want to ad, vse wth you, but to execute wthout you." We need Chrstans today wth such a courageous sprt. We need people to demonstrate the Sprt and power of God n Sabbathkeepng, n obeyng God, n fully lvng for Hm, usoberly, rghteously, godly lves n ths present world." The best sermon on the Sabbath s a resolute Chrstan Sabbathkeeper. Some speak of ts beng a sacrfce to keep God's commandments. t s a prv, lege to be a fathful servant of God; not a sacrfce. Lsten to what Davd Lvng, stone sad about the prvlege of servng God: "For my own part, have never ceased to rejoce that God has apponted me to such an offce. People talk of the sacrfce have made n spendng so much of my lfe n Afrca. Can that be called a sacr' fce whch s smply pad back. as a small part of a great debt owng to our God, whch we can never repay? s that a sac' rfce whch brngs ts own blest reward n healthful actvty, the conscousness of dong good, peace of mnd. and a brght hope of a glorous destny hereafter? Away wth the word n such a vew, and wth such a thought! t s emphatcally ~gd sacrfce. Say rather t s a prvlege. Anxety, sckness, sufferng, or danger, now and then, wth a foregong of the common convenences and chartes of ths lfe, may make us pause, and cause the sprt to waver, and the soul to snk; but let ths be only for a moment. All these are nothng when compared wth the glory whch shall hereafter be revealed n, and for, us. never made a sacrfce. Of ths we ought not to talk, when we re' member the great sacrfce whch He made who left Hs Father's throne on hgh to gve Hmself for us; ~who beng the brght, ness' of that Father's glory, ~and the ex' press mage of rus person, and upholdng all thngs by the word of hs power, when he had by hmself purged our sns, sat down on the rght hand of the Majesty on hgh.' " Whenever Chrstanty has been cau' tous, t has been a cheap and contemptble thng. n 1 Cornthans 1: 18 we read, HPor the preachng of the cross s to them that persh foolshness; but unto us whch ape saved t s the power of God." The mob at Thessalonca pad a splendd trbute to Paul and hs companons when t cred out, '''These that have turned the world upsde down are come hther also." t s hgh tme we stopped talkng so much about relgon and started demonstratng relgon,"vth a show of the Sprt and power n our lves that would cause others about us to recognze the tremendous df, ference between a real, honest Chrstan and the "'man of the world." You have asked me to be presdent of ths assocaton for the comng year. You do not know what t means to me to accept the poston for never before have been wllng to do so. am not a mnster; am an engneer. Years ago pledged myself to the motto, UEngneer for Chrst." The dutes of an engneer are to take the forces of nature and turn them nto forces for the utlzaton of manknd. So an "Engneer for Chrst" should bend hs efforts toward takng the forces of nature and turnng them nto forces for Chrst. People are forces of nature, human n.ature, whch must be turned nto forces for God. An engneer goes straght to hs task rgorously and steadfastly to the comple' ton of the job. The word Church appears n the Kng James Verson of the Holy Bble, but the lteral translaton of the Greek word ecclesa s assem.bly. Therefore, we should understand that the Church s the assembly. The assembly, or the Church, s the famly of God. t s the entre famly of God and not just a part of that famly. The assembly, or the Church, s not an organz,aton, but rather t s an organsm, or a growng body. An earthly organzaton, no matter how lofty may be ts purposes and ts teachngs, s not an organsm, s not the body of Chrst. The assembly, or the Church, s an or' gansm, s the body of Chrst, s the 305 Ths year let me challenge you and my' self to rejoce n the prvlege of spendng ourselves for God.

ROOD (An apprecaton and evaluaton of sx years spent n three of the best semnares n the Unted Statu.) suppose that most of the laymen n the Churches magne that a theologcal school s much lke a monastery - very dgnfed and completely proper, but so solemn as to verge upon despar. The whole pcture s dark, a bt musty, and over all hangs a rather amorphous cloud of heavy relgosty. To those of us who have had the pnvl' lege of attendng a really good theologcal school, the semnary s more lke a garden. t has no tomblke '\Valls; t s al'\vays open, not only to the clear blue.sky above, but to the entr~ world about. Ths semnary garden s an cld garden. San ts and schol, ars and martyrs have walked there, long years ago. Some of the trees are old, some were planted only ths year. There are THE SCHOOL AT NAZARETH Nazareth Street '.vas narrow A stony hllsde street, But Jesus hurred off to school On swft, mpatent feet. He had no desk, nor pencl, Nor paper smooth and whte, On tablets waxed or sanded floor, He slowly learned to wrte. n those queer rolled up Hebrew books There were no pctures gay, But lovely songs, and old, wse laws That Jesus learned to say. The teacher never scolded, A rabb, knd and wse; thnk he must have loved To look n Jesus' eager eyes. And school s stll a happy place Where the chldren learn and grow, As truly as n Na4areth town, Long, and long ago. -Edth Kent Battle. a few ancent and pcturesque runs n the theologcal garden, but the nevjer buld, ngs have been hult upon the stll sturdy foundatons of old c(hfccs, and arc pleaf,' ant and comfortab]e n the sunlght. And through ths garden. walk congena.l frends, all ntent upon One thng: How to be competent amhassadors for that radant Person who '\valks n the garden n the cool of the day. Therc s play and a great deal 'of laughter as vjell as study and reverent worshp. The fellowshp s not only student wth student, but t s often student wth teacher. And, strangely enough, t often happens that the best frc:1d won n that vared garden s the learned master who at frst seemed too far along the path for one to catch up wth hm at all or to talk ntel1gently wth hm upon the thngs concernng the kngdom of God. As a matter of fact, there s no more normal lfe than lfe n a theologcal school. For many a man there have been no hap' per years than the three years spent there. Part of the happness comes from the fact that the tensons and uncertantes that went nto the decson to enter the mns, try now le ;n the past. The man s upon the fnal stretch of the road whch leads to hs vocaton, and t s wth an exultng sense of approachng the goal that he begns every pece of work. Part of the joy, too, les n the dscovery that the student's classmates are a11 pass' ng through the same experence. n co], lege, some men were thnkng about how much money they could make as bankers, or how famous they mght hecome a.s lawyers, or what dscovery they mght make as physcans, or what nventon t1~ey mght produce as engneers. All these dreams and hopes were good, and each of the men '\vould probably fnd hs place eventually n the kngdom purposes of God. But n the semnary the men arc all walkng - or ploddng. as t may seem

Later they may become self, centered, conceted, selfshly ambtous, or doctrnally exclusve. But they are now lvng n a garden of beautful deals, and the same sense of msson and urgency 'Warms all ther hearts. But the semnary garden s not all sweet' ness and lght. Lke all gardens, n ths one, too, there s a great deal of work to be done. Much of t seems at frst lke pure spade'work. The 'Workng days fre' quently do not end 'Wth normal bedtme hours, and through long nghts the sem, nary student fnds hmself wearly drudg.. ng away at hs assgned tasks. Sometmes the atmosphere n the classrooms seems very cold, objectve, and crtcal, and some' tmes the heart.. warmng. VSon that brought hln here seems almost lost to the strugglng theolog. But ths s the dscplne that s requred by the Man 'Who sad, "Follo'W me," and expected those who heard to leave famly and home and easy lfe to E;nter the way of the Cross. There s no place for medocrty or 8elf, ndulgence among those who would seek to serve the people of the Lord - and nevtably some drop by the 'Waysde and fnd ther places of servce n less demand, ng felds. t s not long before the man n the semnary garden dscovers that t s as' sumed that he came here because he has had a deep and challengng relgous ex' perence, and that he s now prepared to enter upon the arduous tral to the ds, covery of the tradtonal and ntellectual bases for hs fath. There s therefore here no sprtual spoon,feedng or mental mollycoddlng. He s respected as a man of relgous convcton; hs professors are men of abdng fath: toge:lher they pursue the ~o~etmes wndng path of truth. Unceremonously he s plunged nto the ancent world of the Near East. Of course, he had read hs Bble before, and perhaps he had even had an undergraduate course n Englsh Bble n the college he at' tended. But here the scale of nvest, gaton s on a dfferent level. He works hs way thoroughly through the hstory, not only of the Hebrew people, but of the ancent Medterranean world..he studes the customs and socal nsttutons of the Hebrew people, he enters ther thought world and redscovers ther v.rays of lfe. He follows them through ther exclt1ng search for an understandng of God, and learns the tradtons and nspra, ton of the Old Testament, and the candd nterpretaton of t as modern scholarshp understands t. Hs professors are deter' mned that no layman n hs parsh shall know more of t than he does. He learns of the world nto whch Jesus came, the mplca"tons for Hs day of 'What He sad and dd; he s taught to covet every atom of knowledge that has ever been won for the lfe of the Savour. He studes the ""Lves of Chrst" that have been wrtten through the centures that he may kno'w ho'w that Lfe appeals to every tempera' ment. And jf he decdes that the only v.ray he can gan an adequate understandng of these ancent records s to read and study them n ther orgnal languages, there s a specal corner of the garden reserved for hm where he may struggle wth He' brew and Greek. Ordnarly, unless he has a specal bent for languages or ntends to teach Bblcal subjects, he s not requred to take them; but he s usually expected, f he be paroled from the languages, to take some courses equally 8trenuous. But the Bblcal record s not all that he must master. Church hstory, f taught by a master, becomes almost a contnuaton of the Ne'W Testament. Here he sees God's leadershp revealed n tme, hs fath s strengthened, and he gans the ablty to dscern between man's fralty and God's 'Wsdom. No matter how thoroughly he may have studed hstory n college, he now begns to dscover what t means to look at the hstory of manknd from the vewpont of the Church. Furthermore, theology s largely hstorcal, and only by seeng ts growth n the necesstes of human experence can a man become fully aware of the nevtablty of certan doc, trnes, and the secondary nature of others. There are truths whch, lost or mnm4ed n one age, assert themselves agan and agan n succeedng ages; and the student begns to come to the concluson that they are the nalenable possessons of normal and ratonal humanty. When he has learned to see the purpose of God sweep' ng through hstory, he dscovers a con' fdence n God whch s close to the revela, ton of the dvne n the Gospel of Chrst. He dscovers the Church expressng the deepest longngs of the human heart, and fnds, at the same tme, that doctrnes are not the cold, lfeless formulas that he once thought they were, but the records of convctons whch the best people of ther tme felt and knew n ther Own ex' perence. They are ntmatons of truth whch he, hmself, n a dstant age, ver, tes n hs own present experence. And so the study of Church hstory becomes an mportant part of hs tranng. But the calendar of courses announces that he must press on, and seek the knowl, edge of formal theology, as one teacher 'N"ll declare t to hm. f he s to preach the gospel, he needs n the background of hs preachng a consstent theory of lfe. Ths theory, as he begns to form and shape t hmself from the materals he re' ce ves n hs courses n theology, "does not turn out to be exactly the system of the' ology whch he learns from the doctor of dvnty who lectures to hm n the theo' logcal school. t wll be nfluenced by that teachng, of course, but, n so far as the teacher really nforms the pupl, the student learns that he must test the teach, ng by hs own nner experence. An Eng' lsh theologan of the last century, Fred, erck Dennson Maurce, warned hs ds, cples that they must beware of becomng slaves to a system. Every good teacher n the theologcal school echoes ths coun, sel n hs own way. Among all the never,to,be'solved mys' teres of lfe, there are some thngs of whch a thoughtful man s, n hs own mnd, entrely sure. All these convctons may not be logcal; some are completely matters of ntutve fath, beyond need of proof. But the student begns soon to learn that bevond these fxed conclusons.; there are vast areas of thought wheren he holds hs theores of lfe as hypotheses. The fundamentals are few and substantal, but as he studes he dscovers that the areas of hs certantes are ncreasng, and that hs system grows as he grows hm' self n knowledge and experence. There 311 may be young men VJho suppose tha t n semnary they wll be taught a hard and fast system of thought. whch vvll be so prt:cse that all they need to do n the future s to repeat t 'Word for vvord lke the multplcaton table. To the lazy and careless ths may be a comfurtjn~ expectaton. To the conscentous and pans' takng t wll he a nghtmare. The facts of Chrstanty are wrtten on the pages of hstory for all to sec, The applcaton and nterpretaton of these facts are as vared as human nature. There s no more mrortant doctrne than the doctrne of the Atonement: hut ths doc, trne vares wth the lght whch the Sprt has revealed to sants and phl1oso, phers n succeedng perods of hstory" The dlgent student fnds hmself rccev' ng help from all these thoughtful men n the past and present, but hs ovvn doc, trne cannot be a copy of anyone of them, t s only when the Sprt of God speaks to hm through them and hs own experence, that he has dscovered the truth - and then t s strctly apropos only to hmself. When he ventures nto hs parsh, the people to whom he preaches wll know soon. enough whether he s rattlng off plattudes whch were sound doctrne for the man who taught them, but have never become true doctrne to hs own experence, All that the pro' fessor of theology can do s to lay hef ore hs pupls the prceless gft of the theology he has proved to hmself out of hs own reflecton, out of the hstory of thought, and out of hs daly lfe. Ths, jn turn, fsr, _. what the student s lea.rnng to do for hs ( people whe!1 he mounts the pulpt to '----' preach hs own convctons. But n addton to these techncal sub, jects, the student n the semnary fnds hmself workng at a great varety of practcal subjects. He must learn, for one thng, huw to preach a sermon. Of course, the essental preparaton for preachng s all of a man'5 lfe, but unless a man can make hmself clear and can ma.ke hmself heard, hs sermon s of qucstonahle value. He studes the structure of the sermon - ts ntroducton, ts three ponts, and con' eluson; he learns what a text s for, and how to use the Scrpture legtmately to llustrate, clarfy, and document hs

9 312,. thoughts. Even when he s wrtng term pa pers on such obscure subjects as uthe oblque uses of the partcle gar n the Greek language," he s learnng to frafne hs thought, marshal hs materal, and arrve at pertnent conclusons. But be.. sdes ths he learns how to use hs natve vocal equp~nent ntellgently; he must learn how to read a chapter from the Bble wthout embarrassment, wthout stumblng over a sngle word, and wth such smple and drect ntellgence that everyone wll be compelled to lsten. And he wll learn what s hs own best method of sermon delvery from prolonged and crtczed experment - be t wth or wth.. out notes, or wth complete manuscrpt. The man who scoffs at technque s as great a fool as the farmer who beleved that the wheels of hs wagon were so well constructed that he refused to grease them. He learns here, as always, that hs knowl.. edge s not for hmself, but for the n.. spraton and encouragement of hs pa.. rshoners, and that only the best of whch he s capable s worthy of the task to whch he has commtted hmself. Before hs course has ended, he wll probably st n at least one course n what we ambguously call... pastoral theology~~ - as f to suggest that the theology used by the pastor s dfferent than any other knd. Here he s ntroduced to a great feld of human understandng and sym.. pathy that can only really be learned by experence. He studes the lves and gud.. ng prncples of great pastors. He seeks 'to understand the human soul n ts need and perplexty, ts sorrow and ts moral falure, ts recovery and ts trumph. He wll learn how to keep the mechancs of a Church runnng, how to conduct a wed.. dng, the pt"oper functon of a mnster at a funeral. He wll study the art of conductng dvne worshp, and though he has no ntenton and perhaps no ablty to conduct the chor or play the Church organ, he Tlay even study llusc. He studes the technques and materals and phlosophy of relgous educaton. He wll catch a vson of the Church at work n ts communty, untl he cannot be con' ten ted to see hs poor parshoners ground down by unjust wages or by the tyranny of an unscrupulous labor unon. He wll learn to fght ntellgently n conjuncton wth every decent commttee whch pleads for lberty and justce and peace; and he wll learn that hs duty s always to John who s selfsh. or to Mary who s despond, ent, or to ther chld who s forgotten. Further, at some tme n hs last year, he wll be gven a chance to specalze n some specfc study that ntrgues hm. f he s curous about the most dffcult doc, trnes of the Church, he may be permtted to take an advanced semnar on some spe, cfc truth, such as the atonement, or to wrte a research paper on the hstory of baptsm; or, f he longs to see more exactly nto some perod of hstory, he may be gven opportunty to do specal work on the rse of monastcsm, or the causes of the Reformaton; f he s mpressed wth the futlty of the Sabbath schools, he may search out a course n scentfc pedagogy. And then, at last, after three strenuous years of the fellowshp of study and prayer, the scanlet bachelor of dvnty hood s hung across hs shoulders on Commence.. ment Day, and he s regarded as a profes' sonal mnster of the Gospel of Chrst. He, now, can look back and know that, far from beng a place where very dry professors teach very dry subjects, the modern theologcal school,s a vertable vortex of human lves and sprts. t s ntent upon the truth as revealed to men down the ages n a contnuous stream of experence, as revealed to men n the movements of our own day, as revealed by the Holy Sprt to the consecrated n' dvduals, both students and faculty, whom he has known face to face. t wll be an experence that he wll never forget, for t has traned hs sprt as well as hs mnd. The modern theologcal school s con" cerned to know and teach the truth. ts faculty spends long hours weekly, readng, dong research, talkng to past graduates,... conferencng~~ wth the laymen whom these graduates serve, upon ts knees n prayer. But t s not content to keep the truth lad away n the semnary lbrary, or n the lecture notes of the professors. The truth s to be carred out by ts stu.. dents nto the lfe of the world. The truth s to be released to do ts work. t s not to be fought over, or to be glored n, or to be hurled at the heretc. t s to be lved, and t s to be mparted. For a unversty there s no better motto than vertas, "truth H; for a theologcal school that motto s nsuffcent: t must be vertas et vta, "'truth and lfe, H or as t s at Pacfc School of Relgon, pro vertas et regno de, "'for truth and the kngdom of God." f a man has learned at college to reverence truth, he wll learn n the.

But there s one socal entty that stands unrvalled at the top n the buldng of character. t has held that poston snce humanty nrst marred and was gven n marrage. t s the famly. Throughout the ages those peoples have thrved best and have contrbuted most to posterty who ha ve honored the famly and the sanctty of the home.

Homes are establshed to nsure just these thngs. The locaton of the home, ts appontments, ts daly program, ts atmosphere, are all studed partcularly that those who lve there may grow n wsdom and n stature and n favor wth God and man. Whch mmedately suggests the Bble. The Bble has been the cornerstone of the best homes always and everywhere. The home s where the Bble was frst used by Chrstans. The Churches met n homes; the schools lkewse. These have' out.. grown the home; but the Bble stll does ts best work n ts orgnal settng. The Church school movement came nto beng prncpally because the Bble was beng neglected n so many homes. 'Too much cannot be sad n prase of the Church school. Wse parents wll attend t them... selves, not only to encourage ther chl' dren to go, but to mprove ther own knowledge and love of the Bble. But, far more can be done for the development of character through the use of the Bble n the home than anywhere else. The Bble speaks to parents today just as t dd when the Apostle Paul wrote: "And, ye fathers, provoke not your chl, dren to wrath: but brng them up n the nurture and admonton of the Lord." We know Paul s everlastngly rght. But how shall we go about a successful program of obedence to hs command. Frst, let parents take to themselves the stern njuncton of Jesus, ~~And whoso shall offend one of these lttle ones that beleve n me, t s better for hm that a mllstone were hanged about hs neck, and that he were drowned n the depth of the sea." Jesus always champoned chldren and was never too busy or too tred to gve them Hs attenton. sus~ pect that Jesus had parents partcularly n mnd when He sternly uttered ths warnng. For, after all, parents have far more opportunty to ll,treat ther chldren than has anyone else. Of course we are not thnkng here of delberate acts of msgudance. Only the most depraved of parents would be gulty of such perversty. We are thnkng of those more subtle nfluences that operate through example. What s the atttude of parents to\vard money and materal possessons whch ther chldren observe n them? How do the parents treat others less fortunate than themselves? Do the parents ndulge n gossp? Do they hold grudges and nurse prejudces? Are they socally ambtous? Do they gnore the rghts and feelngs of others n ther efforts to get themselves ahead? Hard questons to answer, but chldren unconscously reflect the answers parents gve n ther own daly conduct. Only less mportant than lvng the knd of lfe whch sets the Chrstan example before chldren s the program of conscous nstructon whch parents must gve to ther chldren to dstngush between rght and wrong, and to do that whch s pleas' ng n the eyes of God. 'j 1 ;*! n the Book of Deuteronomy '\ve read, HAnd these words, whch command thee ths day, shallbe n thne heart: and thou shalt teach 'them dlgently unto thy chl... dren...
