MEDFORD MAIL
AN INSPIRATION TO
REV. WEATHERFORD
Fred M. 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.
We have rendered the church In
nocuous by turning the attention to
spring. Therefore, Wmrteo
start on 76 leas power than

'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

for the after-meeting, seeking the
