Church Bulletins - •
Many (oral churches publish a'weekly bulletin which is passed
out to those attending services an Sunday. These bulletins usually
contain information pertinent to the churches for which they are pre-
pared. Such items as those members on the sick list during toe week,
tone of services, notices of meetings, etc.
Each week most of us take a bulletin and usually glance over It,
but invariably we will read part of it and when we do, we usually learn
something. Too many times, though, we do not realize the true value
of the church bulletin and more or less take it for granted. Actually
we should place this little piece of literature at the top of cur reading
list. Of course, some do and as a result stay current on toe affairs of
their church.
Many times, the preacher will either borrow or actually compose a
little editorial in the bulletin. Sometimes he will have a heart-to-heart
talk with his fk>ck on grave matters. At times he may admonish them
—and this he should when it is needed.’ h~ ■
'*■ This week we noticed an article in the bulletin of the Church of
Christ in Livingston. This bulletin Is called the "Messenger? ahd is
. edited by the preacher, <1. E. Braziel. „ - - -"**
The article told of how James Garfield, the twentieth president
of the United States was confronted with a national crisis and was
asjted by one of his cabinet members to call an emergency meeting of
the cabinet “tomorrow.” President Garfield told the member that he
-was sorry, he Could not do this because he had a previous appoint-
ment for the next day.
The cabinet member insisted that toe meeting he held, but the
president refused apd placed his scheduled appointment above a meet-
ing which might decide the course of a nation.
The cabinet member, in disgust, was forced to abide by the presi-
dent's decision, but asked "What appointment could you have which
might possibly be more important than calling the cabinet together in
this time of crisis?”
The president said: “I have an appointment with toe Lord. To-
morrow is Sunday and I have promised to be present at His table at
toe appointed time.”
The president kept his appointment. A cabinet a meeting was hold
later and the crisis passed. The nation survived
This one small item In a church bulletin teaches a very valuable
lesson as well as pointing out the logic in putting first things first.
Hail to the church bulletin. May this editorial encourage preachers
cf all churches to place a high value on toejr respective church bulletin
and be diligent in their efforts to publish regularly. The effects can be
far-reaching.
