Brevity, Thou Art a Jewel!

M.A. Hinkhouse

Lengthy speeches, lengthy articles, and lengthy prayers are usually tiresome. Life is short, and we must learn to condense and intensify our thoughts.

Evangelism in the Far East

V. T. Armstrong

Public evangelism has proved to be the most important and successful means of winning converts to the remnant church. But conditions in the countries of the Far East necessitate a variety of methods, adapted to the customs and conditions of the respective fields.

The Preacher in His Pulpit

W. A. Dessain

The externals of preaching often spoil a good sermon. An unsound program for church service, one that is unbalanced or too long, will kill a minister's best efforts. A forceful message poorly delivered is weaker than a poor message well given.

Radio Matchless Method of Contact

Glenn Calkins

Our experience in the Pacific Union has demonstrated the fact that broadcasting the message by radio is one of the greatest and most prolific sources of contact, not only with the rank and file of the people, but with people in the upper strata of society as well, who ofttimes would not be reached by a public effort no matter where it was con­ducted.

I.C. Pound

But this was the record established by workers in the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference during the year 1939, and more souls were won to the message than during any other year in this territory.

Larger Lay Evangelism

Jeff Hickman

Our workers should ponder this portrayal of an ardent lay evangelist who sells automobiles for a liv­ing, but whose spare time is enthusiastically devoted to the saving of souls through direct personal effort and by proxy—paying the salary of a regular confer­ence worker

Editorial Keynotes

LeRoy E. Froom
