When the "Right Arm" Was Used in Davao City

HAVE you ever watched twentieth century divine healers pack the crowds in? Seeing the masses jam tents and halls almost causes a covetous spirit to possess me. True, the antics and general confusion present at most of these healing sessions are rather distasteful and at times sacrilegious. Yet, the eager crowds in attendance always intrigue me. . .

SELDOM had I found more perfect looking bananas when doing the weekly shopping, and now as we gathered for Sabbath breakfast the three fifths of us who are banana lovers anticipated this favorite item with a great deal of eagerness. But our enjoyment was to be short lived. When the peelings were turned back one bite was enough! Inside, those bananas were hard and green---too unripe to be palatable. What a disappointment! . . .

THEN said I, Here am I; send me" (Isa. 6:8). In a moment of enthusiasm I quoted these words to our ministerial secretary and the next thing I knew I was assigned to a church for a series of meetings. This led to deep heart searching to see if I were really up to it. I am used to preaching; but evangelism this would be a new experience.

WHEN I was a boy I attended a small church where a pastor was seldom present. But when he did come we felt that we were in the presence of one who walked and talked with God. Ministers were placed on high pedestals in those days. When one visited our home we were awed by his presence and fascinated by his words. . .
