Prayer in its Vital Relation to the Worker

I.H. Evans

Prayer is communion with God. It unites the one who truly prays with Infinite Power, with the Godhead, in all that that fellowship and comradeship can ever mean.

The Minister—His Message, Authority, and Power

N. P. Neilsen

When the minister enters the sacred desk to speak to the people, he should have for them a living message from the living God. If he has such a message, he need offer no apologies for giving it; but if not, it were better to hold his peace.

Press Together

Frederick, Griggs

This spirit of unity, of whole-hearted co-operation, that established the ancient kingdom of Israel, is to be the spirit of the men and women who are engaged in the greatest spiritual warfare of these last days.

Man's Most Sacred and Most Neglected Privilege

G.E. West

This searching appeal comes as a tender entreaty and rebuke to most of us. Intensive work for God all too often crowds out that vitalizing communion with God that is impera­tive to spiritual power, and to the truest and most productive service for Him. May these counsels bear tangible fruitage in our lives.

Concreteness a Good Pulpit Watchword

H. M. Tippett

Why is it that the messages of one worker at a camp meeting are the chief source of conversation and discussion among the brethren in attendance, while those of some other worker, just as sincere, just as profound in the enunciation of principles, are received with little comment or even an apparent lack of appreciation?

Organizing a Conference for Evangelism

M.V., Campbell

With the depressed financial status of the world, it is hard to com­pare monetary results accurately, but it has been clearly demonstrated that the new members have proved a financial asset to us as a conference and to our world-wide work.

The Christian's Relation to Governments

I.F. Blue

In the New Testament due emphasis is placed on obedience to "the pow­ers that be," and the fact is clearly set forth that the Christian sustains a re­lationship both to God and to earthly governments.

The Teaching Element in Preaching

H. L. Rudy

Multitude is the old word for people or public. We use it here because we wish to remind ourselves constantly of Christ, the Master Teacher, of whom it is written: "Seeing the multitudes, . . . He opened His mouth, and taught them." Matt. 5:1, 2.

When the, Bible Worker Is Left Alone

Cora B. Gibson

How shall a Bible worker successfully carry on when left alone with a new church at the close of an effort, with not a single member who has previously been an Adventist, not one who can play or sing, not one who has been trained to act as Sabbath school superintendent, or who has ever taught in a Sabbath school; where opposition is so strong that people are timid, and hesitate to stand for God; and where most of the members are out of work, and can give little or nothing toward church expenses?
