Send Me an Able Man
Roy F. Williams
Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide (2 Chron. 2:7). . .

Merwin R. Thurber
Mrs. White comments on this statement: Patience and gentleness under wrong were not characteristics prized by the heathen or by the Jews. The statement made by Moses under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, that he was the meekest man upon the earth, would not have been regarded by the people of his time as a commendation; it would rather have excited pity or contempt. --The Mount of Blessings, p. 14.

R. W. Taylor
WATCHING blindfolded children trying to pin the tail in the appropriate place on a cardboard donkey can be rather amusing, but watching a befuddled evangelist trying to find the right place to pin the temperance message in his series, before his candidates are ready for baptism, is not so funny. . .

Gayland Richardson
WE ARE in the year of the laymen. Special emphasis has been given to witnessing by the laity. What a grand idea! But has it been just a slogan or is it the plan of God?

Robert M. Eldridge
"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth!" Our ministry and laity alike subscribe wholeheartedly to Thoreau's statement. We thank God that He has preserved His holy Word, the very embodiment of truth for His people in these last days of earth's history. We often speak of new converts to the faith as having "embraced the truth."

Orley M. Berg
A PERSON asked to speak in public usu ally gives careful thought as to what he will say. Often overlooked, however, is the importance of how it will be said. No matter how careful the preparation has been, how highly polished every sentence, if the congregation fails to hear or understand the message, it amounts to less than nothing. Not only do they miss what is said, but often become irritated because of it. . .

Louis F. Cunningham
NOTHING would please the Lord more or stir up the devil faster than a genuine revival. Nothing would more quickly prepare the church for its modern Pentecost and the finishing of the work or more surely thin the ranks, threaten our finances, and invite renewed persecution than an all-out, whole-souled revival. . .

C. M. Mellor
THE order of business during the last of September and the first of October is the selection and work of the nominating committee. If ever the pastor needs practical know-how and patience, it is during this function of the church. . .

If we want strength for our daily tasks and wisdom to meet the unseen emergencies that will beset us, we need to strengthen our faith by a good reading and prayer program. . .

Erling E. Calkins
A RECENT headline in a daily newspaper proclaimed, "Soviets Educate Children to be Good Communists!" The article declares that "almost from infancy, children in the Soviet Union are educated toward a common goal: to grow up as good Communists. . ."

J. W. Wood
THE preparation of the annual budget presents a real challenge. Few of us have a background that would provide experience in dealing with finances, and our professional training has barely touched the subject. There are various ways of planning for the financial needs of the church, but the procedures the Ukiah church uses in developing a workable budget are as follows. . .
