Weatherford, pastor evan gellst, Church of the Naearene, spoke Sunday night on "My Reaction to the National preaching Mission in Port land": In part ha said: "The National Preaching Mission Is creating a great spiritual awakening and evangelistic Impetus throughout the statea. Their first dsy In Port land the mlssloners addressed 18,000 people In pulpits, high schools, and club appearances. It Is a safe esti mate to say that In person they spoke to more than 100,000 people and doubtlesa reached a million through all of the radio broadcasts during the four-day series. "It was an Inspiration to hear Dr. E. Stanley Jones, who Is the. spir itual beacon light of the Mlssloners, address fiOO men representing all of the service clubs of Portland, at which were present Governor C. H. Martin, Mayor Carson and a group of state officials from Salem. "During this address Dr. Jonee said, 'Give us the spirit of religion and the technique of science and we can give birth to a new world. We will not take up our time In defending the old order, but In mending It. "It waa an Inspiration to hear Dr. Jesse M. Bader of New York, secre tary of the department of evangel- Ism, Federal Council of Churches In America, say, 'We are out to strength en the foundation of faith. We are out to give an evangelistic thrust. The church that Is not making dis ciples will not be able to hold those that are made.' ' He said, 'We have been trying to live on thlnga that are starving, we have been ringing church bells when we ought to be ringing door bells. We need a mov able pulpit.' "Die evangelistic note contributed by Dr. John G. Fleck of Buffalo, N. Y., pastor of the Lakeside Lutheran church, was Interesting. He said, 'If we have anything to say to this day ' of crisis It will be because the pulpit begins with Itself. We want a gospel that saves life for people, and saves people's Uvea. "Dr. Albert W. Beaven of Rochester, N. Y., president of Colgate divinity school (Baptist), in an effort to awaken the evangelistlo appeal among the churches, said: "There has been decline In successful evangelism. the church stopped going forward about ten yeara ago and started back ward. We have suffered from the reaction against emotionalism. The emotional appeal of the gospel la es sential to the evangelistic message. God expects us to appeal to the whole of man. 'The message of the church with out evangelism Is dead. We can't be oontent to fumble the gospel at this point,' I heard Dr. K. Stanley Jones ad dress a throng that packed the great city auditorium, seating 6,000 people, with an overflow of a thousand. In his address he said: 'In this day we speak to a very badly hurt modern man; a man who la most hurt in his Inner life. In many mlnda the Mas ter la dead. Our modern man has broken himself over the laws of God. " 'There are two ways to help hlra one la to Isolate him; aa he la. he Is too complexly bound up with other people. The second step Is to spir itualise his heart life. 'Man turns out to be a moral Imbecile who thinks he can cheat God. 'Today we stand at the crisis of three ways they are communism, fascism, or Christian democracy. I shudder to think of our country go ing communistic. It la authnrltorlsn In rule. I do not want to go fascism It la too dictatorial. I want Chris tian democracy to be saved. That represents a government by the King dam of God. 'I believe this generation will make up Its mind the way to take. 'Our world has beon ahattcred Into btta; the Kingdom of God seeks a unification. Christianity will bring unity back.

Christianity does away with the secu lar and the aacred that duality Is false, we have got to bring God back Into the common walks of life Christ aa much in throne In the business life aa from the pulpit. We must change the collective will to banish poverty. We have everything to banish poverty but the collective good-will. The Kingdom of God on earth will banish poverty. We have made a duality between Idealism and realism, Jesus waa realist; all his Idealism was realism. His deeds were words, and his words were deed 'At the conclusion of Dr. Jones' evangelistic appeal for a verdict to accept Christ there were upward of 360 hands lifted from that vast audi ence, with more than 300 who stayed for the after-meeting, seeking the way of salvation."
