Scofield wrote the following passage in the Introduction to the Scofield Reference Bible: “The last fifty years have witnessed an intensity and breadth of interest in Bible study, unprecedented in the his tory of the Christian Church. Never before have so many reverent, learned and spiritual men brought to the study of the Scriptures, minds so free from merely controversial motive. A new and vast exegetical and expositor literature has been created....” Even the years that followed the writing of this passage pro duced many great Bible exposi tors, but their number has since dwindled fast, until today evangelistic-revival campaigns have all but replaced the great, thrilling Bible conferences of a Church Chuckles by CARTWRIGHT w <gKHAS.Q»Vrwffi6-HT- .X. - ■ )S4(, "Mo, this isn't Jo®'* Bar and Grill." He had been presiding elder of the Huntsville District of the North Alabama Confer ence of the CME church, a dis trict comprising 4fi congrega tions and 30 pastors. Prior to that he had serv ed as director of evangelism and director of Christian edu cation of the Fifth Episcopal District of Alabama and Flo rida. A native of Sumter County, Alabama, Rev.

He was pastor of Smith Ta bernacle CME church, Annis , ton, Ala., 19C1~’63, and pas tor of Bailey Tabernacle CME church, Tuscaloosa, 1963-’66, before accepting the Fifth Epis copal District Christian edu cation post under Bishop E. P. Murchison, ’ In the. summer of 1967 he was dean of the Leadership Train ing School at Milos College 1 in Birmingham. He was ordained an elder at the Southeast Alabama Confer ence of his church in 1961, He has authored Christian edu cation pamphlets and guides for the church. few decades ago. Regardless of the popularity of such campaigns, however, the Church will not make true progress, eit’rfer in spiritual power or in the number of genuine converts, until it once again places due emphasis on the Word of God, both in pri vate study and in public mini stry. Unpopular but vital Bible doc trines have stopped many preachers and Bible teachers short and hindered them from bringing to the Scriptures “minds free from merely con troversial motive,” largely lie cause the price of standing for these truths has seemed too great. Until it is the sole passion of men of God to know The Truth and make it known:, revival will not come, for the Church has never made one step of progress apart from pro gress in the study of the Word. Rev. Larkin and his wife have two daughters, ages seven and three. Yes, We All Talk RY MARCUS H. BOULWARE SMALL ELECTRIC BILL In Tallahassee, Florida at the present time, electric bills are sky high, since utilities are furnished by the city. For the last two months, my bill has gone up to $54.00 and I don’t cook. How’s that for a shocker? This is moderate when other people have bills running up to $85.50. But here is the Joker. "An other lucky Tallahassean, his electric bill was lust SB.OO in August. Tallahasseans may chuckle, but it soon wears off to a frown. HOW'S THAT The Senator Soaper report ed that "employment and un employment are both on the in crease. In other words, there are more jobs to be out of.” But this is not funny to the man out of work. FUNNY—OLD HARD HAT A humorous cartoon concern ing President Nixon came out lately hi the Tallahassee Demo crat. Mr. Nixon called him self "Old Hard Hat” in econo mic matters. ISN’T IT FUNNY It is funny, or is it, how auto drivers repeat the same killing and accidents on holi day weekends? It must be holi day fever. If so, they need to see a doctor. MEDITATION A SERMONETTE BY COLIN DOUGLAS "Fear not, for I am with thee.” Isaiah 41:10. "With God, all things are possible, " We all recognize this fact, and acknowledge it freely. But, sad to say, many of us still face the future with fear in our hearts. It Is true that these are times of great change, upheaval, and distrubances in the world --and for this reason, these are times when we must be all the more steadfast In our faith and in our prayers to God, when we must be of great courage, when we must be great outpourers of His love, His wisdom, His joy. Above all, we must be over stong in our confidence and trust in His presence and His never-failing love and power. We should not, for instance, be frightened by atomic power. Actually, atomic power is God power -- one of His blessings to us -- and it is up to us to find the right ways to put It to good use for the blessing and improvement of mankind. Everything we have is, of course, a blessing bestowed upon us by God and certainly there are always two ways to which we can put these blessings into motion -for good and for evil. Like all the loving gifts of the Father, we must use atomic powers His way. Let us rejoice in this power that has been revealed to men -- a power that can bring a new concept, a new wonderful way of life to all of us. Let us give thanks for a new understanding of God’s great, power-filled dynamic universe. God is the source of a mighty stream of substance, and each one of us is a tributary of that stream, a channel for the expression of His love. Through faithful prayer, we can build a strong realization that God is with us at all times, that His love embraces all of creation, that His strength Is our strength, that we have refuge in Him at all timep. Armed with these realizations, there can be no in our rninds and hearts for fear and anxiety. We can meet life with the perfect poise of our perfect faith in God. “God Is our Refuge and Strength,” Psalms 48:1, An investment in Your Future ■Jfl'lißli LMiUHKM SOMEBODY CARES \v#vK # X*> %v.\v.vX* Xvlttv.v It is so important that someone cares about how this child grows up.
