Jack Mumbar, pastor at Ukiah,
Calif., who spoke Sundae at the
Baptist Community church, was
speaker. Tuesday, at Rotary, at
which time he outlined the pre
requisites of success for man in
any field: as physical, social and
spiritual.
Everyone wants to be healthy
nnd strong. There is something
about a well-formed body that
always adds confidence to the
person possessing it.
Everyone likes to be accepted
by his fellow-man, as a part of
a lodge, an organization, or his
community. It does much to the
person who is able to accomplish
this part of life.
A person may be successful in
these two, but to have happi
ness along with his success, he
must have spiritual po ver as well
for it is said in the Bible that
we all are temples oi God.
To explain his point along this
line, the speaker told of how’ he
had entered the ministry from
the business world because of
his conviction. He was, only a
few days prior to entering the
ministry, offered a lucrative job
in the business world.
“I like the motto of Rotary
‘Service Above Self.’ If any or
ganization follows this precept,
it cannot help but win, for it
will embody all the three points
I have explained to you.” he
said in closing.
