Order of Subjects Followed by H.M.S. Richards

The advertising material used by Elder Richards is somewhat varied in size and form,  some being handbills approximately 5 x 8 inches, usually featuring on the front a photograph of the lecturer, also the special music, and giving explicit directions for reaching the taber­nacle, together with the date and hour of the Sunday night lecture. On the reverse side is given the sermon topic for each night of the week, usually including the following Sunday night. Interspersed with these handbills are cards 3 x 4 inches, likewise giving on one side the Sunday night topic, the speaker, how to reach the tabernacle, and the special music fea­tured, while on the other side are the topics for the week—but in varied form. On all these circulars attention is called to the fact that Elder Richards speaks over KNX radio station twice a week, giving the days and hour.—Editors.

Self-Glory

Does our heavenly Father care with what motive we serve Him?

Why Is There Not More Personal Work?

For years the question of personal work has occupied much of my thought. I have seen students lose out in their studies and otherwise, and drop out of school and into the world, because teachers were too busy to extend a helping hand.

The Message of Habakkuk

Among the shortest, least read, yet most important books of the Bible is that of Habakkuk.

Let Us Foster Laymen Efforts

We talk much about the laymen arising for the finishing of the work of God on earth. But are we giving this idea the tan­gible encouragement that we should and could?

A Chaplain in the CCC Camps

For the last six months I have been serving several of the CCC camps of the Third For­estry District, as district chaplain.

Advantage of Tabernacle in Major City Efforts

Evangelism is manifestly God's program for this hour. Every member of the church should engage in soul-winning work, distributing literature, giving Bible readings, ministering to the sick and needy, and holding cottage meetings; yet the program would be obviously incomplete without the public evan­gelist.

"Lord's Day" in Translation

The purpose of the present article is to note certain mistranslations or in­terpretations of the phrase "Lord's day" in the languages of Western Europe, which persist up to now in certain current versions, but which there now appears some prospect of correcting.

The Power of Gospel Song

Where would one look for a medium that will properly stimulate spontaneous ex­pression of religious emotion comparable to that of the congregational song service?
