Reservation Hall Jazz Band, which will play at Pinehurst. Old-style Jazz Band To Play At Pinehurst An early and very American type of music will be presented February 13 in an early and very Pinehurst setting. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band will be in concert that day at 8 p.m. at the old Pinehurst Country Club. Back by popular demand. Preser vation Hall is making its only North Carolina appearance this year at Pinehurst. Seating will be both cafe and theater-style with no advance reservation accepted for tables. lmprovision is the key to jazz, and. while the Preservation Hall in the French Quarter of New Orleans dates from the mid- 1700s, the group is very much alive today. No Background Scripture? Matthew lb: 13-27; 28:lb-20; Acts I and 2; 1 Peter 2:9-10 Devotional Reading? Ephesians3:14-21. Surely. Lord, we have not heard you correctly! Truly, truly I say to you. he who believes in me will also do the works that I do: and greater works than these will he do... (John 14:12) Certainly you cannot mean that? Tell us it is a misprint, an incorrect quotation, a mistranslation ... anything! You know that even when we do our best we don't come anywhere near doing "the works" that you did. How, then, can you possibly expect that we will be able to do even "greater works"? How? Well. Jesus indicates a threefold approach. For one thing, the adequacy ot power will be his. not our own. "What-ever you ask in my name. I will do it. that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (14:13). The power for these works done in Jesus' name w ill be given to us for the glory of God. To many people today the thought that Christians should be continuing the works of Jesus is incredible. Jesus was the Son of God, they reason, how can we possibly have that kind of power working through us? The answer, of course, is that the works bring glory to Christ, not us. We claim no credit for what he is able to accomplish through us. Another key is to be found in his two performances are ever quite alike. The more the audience interaction, the better the show. Whereas jazz truly emerged in ragtime at the turn of the century, it is yet a living tradition. The Preservation Hall building was purchased in 1%1 by tuba player Alan Jaffe and his wife to become a jazz institution. Jazz musicians now meet there at any time for jam sessions, and the music grows on. Tickets for the Preservation Hall Jazz performances may be pur chased for S7.50 from the Sandhills Arts Council.

If we permit him to rule our lives, we cannot help but experience his power working through us. Thus he can say. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them.... teaching them to observe all that 1 have commanded you..." (Matthew 28:19. 20). The key to our authority as his disciples is in traveling the same road he did: "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me" (Matthew 16:24). There is a third reason for his audacious command for us to do more, not less, than he did: "And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever..." (John 14:16). If we allow Christ to live in us, then he will be able to work through us. The challenges he gives us are unthinkable, were we not assured that we face them with him: "... and lo, I am with you always..." (Matthew 28:20). Take a good look at your life: are you doing the works that he did? Consider our church: is it a company of people in whom the power of God is doing great works? For so long we have comforted ourselves with the expectation thai he is satisfied with our feeble efforts. How sobering ? if not inspiring ? to realize that what he expects is more, not less!
