Inspiring Young Men to Enter the Ministry

H. Carl Currie

One of the greatest problems facing prac­tically every mission field is finding qual­ified young men who will respond to the call of the ministry. The materialistic at­mosphere that permeates the world and creeps into the church is at the very root of the problem.

Tempted Like As We Are

Sakae Kubo

If Christ did not have inherent sinful propensities such as you and I have, who are the descendants of Adam, how can we say that He was tempted in all points like as we are, as is stated in Hebrews 4:15? Was His tempta­tion really like ours? If not, can He sym­pathize with our temptations and help us when He has never gone through them?

Posture in Prayer

Daniel L. Eckert

Variety in posture in prayer charac­terizes the practice of the American Churches. Not only variety in posture but also variety in attitude is to be found today. The question is, is there something about posture in prayer which makes one kind of posture by its very intrinsic nature the es­sential posture for effective prayer?

The Church Is on the March*

Walter Raymond Beach

Report given at the Autumn Council, October 25. The world situation today lays awesome responsibility on the church. It is fitting, therefore, that at this biennial council we spend time in as­sessing the past, evaluating the present, and looking hard into the future.
