The question period of ten to fif­teen minutes during my radio hour each Sunday from 5:30 to 6:30 P. M., is greatly appreciated by the radio audience, and affords excellent oppor­tunity to cover a wide range of truth. As the angle of approach to these points of truth is governed by the questioners, prejudice is overcome and the people are set to thinking. Occasionally I slip in a question to bend the general trend in the right direction, focusing attention on the significance of current events.

Our radio correspondence is very heavy, and the letters which come in bring questions and also liberal checks to apply on the expense of broadcast­ing. The mailing of Present Truth to all whose names and addresses we receive, has opened the way for visits and Bible studies. There have been several cases of healing in answer to prayer. Dr. A. W. Truman, of the Washington Sanitarium, has given two health lectures over the air, which have made a very profound impres­sion, as is indicated by the letters referring to these talks. A report of one of these lectures by Dr. Truman appeared in the Review and Herald of February 26, page 18. We hope to have Elder C. S. Longacre visit us very soon, and present the religious liberty situation from our station. We are thankful that God has main­tained this open door to 50,000 lis­teners, and more.

I wish more of our ministers could sense the value of this greatest of all agencies for giving publicity to all phases of present truth. Every per­version of truth is being broadcast over the air, one of the late phases being the world-wide link-up for the Pope's message from Vatican City. Why should the real message of truth for this last period of earth's history be confined in a corner, or behind closed doors, instead of being pro­claimed from the housetops?

The Church and the Ministry

The church ever stands in need of a ministry that teaches the technique of spirituality by precept and by ex­ample, and at the same time stands as an exponent of doctrinal definitions, denominational standards, and mis­sionary activity.

Bear Much Fruit
