Thanks for the news this week.
Today's Thought. . .
By I Oltl> A. ELLIS
Sponsored by Christian Church
"Be endowed with power from on
high ... Go ye into all the world
and preach the gospel". God hath
joined power and proclamation to-
gether and each loses its effective-
ness without the other. "What God
hath joined together let no man put
asunder." Power without expression
is helpless and proclamation with-
out power is piffle. Christ has no
means of changing man or condi-
tion only as He is put into the field
of operation by His disciples. The
Christian faith languishes if it is
not put to work. The ball-player by
his feat of sportsmanship lifts the
crowds to enthusiastic cheering ar-
rives at that place because of his
strenous practice and exacting play-
ing. To merely sit in some club-
house pouring over a book or build-
ing air-castle, of catching difficult
flies or striking hnmeruns never
would become a box-office attrac-
tion. The disciple would not long
retain the Christian power if he
fails to lend feet, hands, eyes,
mouth to the delivery of the good
news Power, like the battery of the
car is surcharged by the running
of the oar. Performance will enlarge
the capacity for more power. If
one should be in the attitude of the
wavering disciple who cried out,
"I believe, help thou my unbelief,"
then get out and do something
about it. Both power and proclama-
tion will be increased.
