During the first five centuries
of the Christian era, great em
nhasis was placed upon the
pi i aching of tnc Word. Espe
cially was this so in the eas
tern stvtion of Chri.-tendom. The
public expected great pleaching,
j and the minister- strove to ful
fill t hose i \ pectat ions.
Prof. F. J. Foak- Jackson,
noted .New Testament -cholat
-ay-. "Never was the pulpit held
in higher < stiniation than in Un-
churches of the East 111 the
fourth and fifth . enturie,-. The
end of education was to make
facile writers and speakers. Ma
n.v a man owed his exalted dig
nity to a judiciou.- panegyric on
the emperor. and it wa- the
same in the Church; oratory led
to fame and influence Sermons
were listened to with enthu-i-
a.-m. They were interrupted by
outbursts of applause. Every
point the picachcr made wa- re
warded by clapping of hands.
Now and tnen the congregation*
waved handkerchief- and cried:
"Thirteenth Apostle!' They
were as critical as they were
demonstrative; a- they left the
church they di-cus.-ed the ser-
mon The mo.-t innocent re-
marks might -avoui of heresy.
If the preachei fell below the
standard required of him he wa-
ul once condemned." History
tells of out Paul of Samo.-ata.
Bishop of Antioch, who would
become furious if the congrcga
Hon dni not applaude and wave
their handkerchief- when he
preached.
Without doubt the aimo.-t impo.-
sible demand- of the congrcga
tion.- a- to pnac.'iini: caused the
minister- to turn more and more
to ritual in the wor.- ip -crvices.
Tile congregations -imply slew
the goose tha' laid the golden
egg-. Since few of the clergy-
could meet t.he demandthe ma
jority of the clergy reduced their
sermon? to the shortest mil i-
inuni of time and critici-m wa-
in like measure reduced. The
laity came to participate in the
ritual which left them little
time to be critical of anything
except the,! own performance.
But in recent year- there hit
been a gradual return ii risual
istic churches to the idea that
listening to the preaching of the
Word is worship on tin part
of the corigregatio, just a - ure
Iv as Communion ;- wor-nip.
Henry Sloane Coffin, President-
Emeritu.* of L'nion 1'herdogical
Seminary, New N <>rk City, ha-
written a book called "Commu
nion Through Preaching." Its
purpose is "to encourage sacra
mental sermons sermons which
enable God to have face to face
Communion with Hi.- people."
People who daily have the aitri-
cacies of -ciince expounded to
them are demanding an > xpo
ition of the Word an<l that it
be a vital part of the wot ship
ser\ ice.
With this ernpha.ii. upon th<-
declaration of the Word, it is
refreshing (for preacher- at
lea-tl to read thi recent remarks
of James L. Sullivan, th- ex«
cutive Secretary Trea-urer of a
multi-miilion dollar publi hing
concern, on the responsibility of
the people ill wot -hip. Mr.
Sullivan i,- a member of a de-
nomination which nan always
cmpha ixed tie importance of
preaching in worship. He points
out that fvi each ommandment
regarding ( od's expectation of
preachers, the Bible has numer-
out thing to -ay about how peo-
ple ought to listen. "Hear ye,
hear ye"; "Take heed how ye
hear"; and "He that hath ear-
to heai, let him hear" are typi
cal of them. He say , "The con
gregation > - under the same im-
pelling demand of the Holy
Scnptuie to listen a -earching
ly as i the minister to preach
fervently But, how many con-
gregations are aware of it?"
Mr. Sullivan ays that it is
no exaggeration to say that con
gregations can iri effect make
or break the worth of preaching
in a Service. "By their prayer
|e .-re-.-," he ay.-, "they can
chill the worship service and
frei/.e the ardor of the -pokes-
man. By their indifference, they
'•an render ineffective an excel-
lently prepared -ermon." He
points out that some come to
worship service and cast the
whole load of the service on
the preacher in a sort of "well
I'm here, keep me awake if you
can" attitude. Then, if sinners
are not convicted of their sin-,
or if the congregation is riot
deeply stirred by the speaker,
the self-ame critic is apt to
say, "Well, I wish we had a
real preacher for our church."
Mr. Sullivan points out that,
much attention is given to train-
ing minister to speak with ani
ty and eriousness, that they
might communicate truly to the
people as they .peak their Ian
guage in a vein which is under
-tandahle. Likewise, it is the
duty of the congregation "to

list.-n with undivided atlention
and in self examination as well
as in deep self-searching and
' dedication." The (Jo-pel record
I of a people who listened to th<
Word is, "And they heard glad
ly." Mr. Sullivan believe- that
this is "a meaningful compli-
ment to worshipper in the house
of (lot! -even now a in Bibical
times."
The truth of the mattei i
that wor-hip doe- not beirin or
end at church. The spirit of
worship must indwell us daily.
Only when tins i- ,-■> doe- \\.,r
ship at church become -ignifi
cant. A m pent Saturday eve
ing will insulate a heart from
a or .nip on the Lord- day. A

prv.yer I'ne occupant of ,i pe«
i- litt!«• more then body if in-
spirit is not alive to God alio
if the windows of hi- soul arc
not open to His Truth and
Grace. A pertinent question may
well be; ' I did not see you in
church Sunday; where were you
Saturday night?" Or, "1 did not
see you in church Sunday; with
whom did you quarrel during
the week?" Worship doe- not
begin or end at church It if
a daily affair. And it is oui
responsibility.
