That old time preaching
Owxrh emd
can keep churches young
M o il
churches with a
generation gap problem are
those that do not have soul
and, m oie ea|«clally, those
that have done away with
(lie old time ieviv.il preach
ing. Thia is llie opinion of
many of the Black and White
clergy of tie Albina M inis
terial Alliance.
Black churcles especially
should return to tie old time
revival preaching alined at
injecting mote soul In their
serv’ces in order to recapture
thus-* young people who have
drifted from tie church in
disgust.

I hoarded tic 1X3-10 at
Dallas* Love Field on my way
to C alifornia. I sat next to
a casually dressed gentleman
and
we
began
to
talk
Immediately. I discovered In
tire course of the conversat
ion that the man was an A ir
Force major en route to Viet
Nam.
T ic majorwasdlsheartened
by the great amount of pro
test for jeace because, as Ic
saw It, "ic a c e is an Impossi
bility anywhere on e a rth ". He
wanted to know where on earth
had tlc re ever teen any peace,
I shared an old Chinese
proverb with him, "When
H e re 's icace In tic heart.
H e re ’ s peace in tie home,
when H e re 's jeace in the
hone, there's peace In the
city, when H e re 's peace In tie
city, H ere's peace In tie
lan d".

Hendrix was said to have posed
a question to over 40,000
icople at one of his final con
certs tefore his untimely
death.
He is said to have
asked tie auditorium filled
with spectators, if anyone in
that packed auditorium had
leard tie answer to the thing
we call life, to stand up and
tell him.
The question m ark remains
in the minds of millions like
tie a ir force major who are
checking tic world scene out

The answer to life is found
In a oneness with God. This

The power and the sin of the world
Genesis 1:20-27.
" F o r the word of God is
quick and jxiwerful, and sharp
e r than any two-edged sword,
piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the Joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the
Hioughts and Intents of Hie
h eart." Hebrews 4:12.
" F ir e , and hail: snow, and
vapours; stormy wind fu lfill
ing His word.” Psalm 148:8.
Jesus said, "The words 1
speak unto you, they a re spirit
and they are life .” John 6:63.
•He sent His word, and
healed them, and delivered
them irom thelrdestructlon."
Psalm 107:20.
Jesus spoke of boHi the pow
e r of the word and warned
against the sin and the misuses
of the word.
He said, " I f ye have faith
as a grain of mustard seed, ye
shall say unto thia mountain.
Remove hence to yonder place;
and It shall remove; and noth
ing shall he Impossible unto
you." Matthew 17:20,
In giving the same Illustra
tion In the book of M ark Jesus
ends the account by saying,
A
Methodist £
Zest of Life
"In the beginning was the
word. Hie word waa with God,
and the word was C o l." John
1:1. The very power of God,
the design, the shape, form
w i l l and p u r p o s e issues
through the sjxiken word of
God. Nothing Is greater In
flower than the word of God.
The spoken words of men
and angels contain within tlem
the very power of God t h a t
worketh their fulfillm ent. If
men hut understood It th e y
should stand In awe and trem
ble before the power and the
sin ol the word,
God said, "So shall my word
be that goeth forth out of my
mouth; it shell not return to
ine void, but it shall accomp
lish that which 1 please, and It
s h a l l prosjier In the thing
w h e re u n to

Isaiah 55:11.
"And God said. Let Here

Genesis 1:3.
"And God said, Letusm ake

likeness... So God created
man In his own Image of God

"H e shall have whatsoever he
saith." M ark 11:23.
J i st consider and stand In awe
of
this

spiritual
power
contained
In the sjroken word that has
the Infinite piwer of God pack
ed Into It that worketh its own
fulfillm ent, bringing the word
to pass-perhaps not In this
lifetim e, but in the life here
after, or in the lifetim e to
come.
In Proverbs we tind these
words: "A w holesome tongue
is a tree of H ie." Proverbs
15i4: and “ Death and life are
In the power of the tongue.”
Proverbs 18:21.
J e s u s said, "out of the
abundance of the heart tie

"E v e ry Idle word that men
shall speak, tley shall give
account there-of in the day
of judgment.
For by thy words thou Shalt
he jutifled, and by thy words
thou shall be condemned.
Maahew 12:34 , 30-37.
Let men stand and tremble
In awe at the infinite power
that resides in tie words they
