Volume 4 D ecember, 1929 , N umber 12 THE PREACHER A MAN OF PRAYER B y T h e E d itor E. Stanley Jones slated before CongreRationultst ministers in New England that he was sur­ prised, on Ills return la the United Stutcs, to find a 11 non praying ministry.” This statement brought out a number of comments and confessions. Mfcny, both of comments and confessions, were, rather in the nature o f defenses. Just think of it—o “ nonpraying Ministry.?’ And do not f°r~ get that always a nonpraying ministry is a worldly, self*sccking ministry; It is, of course, not possible to set up a standard by which to measure therprayer life. If, we should say that so much time spent in prayer is the standard, this would open the door for , the formalist, and the Pharisee, and it would also become a stumbling stone to many tt tirtcerc 1 and overpressed soul. - ’ ■ And yet. there is nothing that we can think of (hat is more incongruous than a preacher who docs not pray. And by' praying,, we do not mean simply the utterance of wordi or the following out of a form, Wfc mean fervent, sincere, insistent waiting upon God for the privilege of com­ munion with Him and direction and anointing-from H(m. ’ , I think it is time for every preacher lq reread Boupd’s 1 ‘Preacher and Prayer,” Suppose ,we - alt Set ourselves to do this'within the ten days following [foe reading of these lines. Then surely we would be profited immensely by inserting; one good book on prayer into . the monthly reading course. We' .would all welcome information on prayer, I know, but we probably need inspiration to pray more than anything else. , And turning to the other side for a moipent, mighty preachers have always been mighty, prayers. In fact prayer has always been the chief factor in the lives of those who' have lvon souls and led ■ the Church on to victory. Wo may sit about, and wait for the .appearance of a preacher of a type to fit our day. But it were better to remember that the prayer room, rather than.the seminary,- has always been the real “ preacher factory." There arc many cxcuscs, perhaps-some, real l-easons, for present day curtailment of prayer' time. But that is a false industry which makes us "too busy to pray,” and a false criterion' which would permit a substitute for prayer. There is no worthwhile preaching without that peculiar factor which wc call unction, and there is and never was unction without prayer—much prayer, prevailing prayer, . • ' . ■ OUR WIDE THEME FIELD • Bv The E d jt o k . RECENT writer mentions a conversation between ihc editor of a large dally paper and ■ the pastor of a large city church. In that conversation it was pointed out by the editor A who is a close student of the times, that there is today little preaching on the real funda­ mentals of eternal truth, such as the reality of God and the devil, heaven and hell, and the suf­ ferings and death o f Jesus Christ in order to make a to n e m e n t So t the sins of the world. Because of the drift in presenting the gospel to the people, many churches arc filled.'with ungodly members, Esthclical teachings have taken- the place of the gospel of the Son of God, with the result that even the official boards of many churches are made up of men and womefi who know nothing THE PREACHERS MAGAZINE about Jesus Christ experimentally, but who are much at hoplc at card parties and dances and even at worse places of sin and dissipation. h " But,ns wc thought of these thinss, we were reminded that the shortcomings of others but' "bring heavier responsibilities upon the faithful. When others neglect the fundamental themes one by one, wc must add such themes to our list of “ specialties." Anti from this point of-view, the full gospel preacher of today has no room whatever to complain, for almost the. whole field of essential truth is so largely neglected that his own theme field is.wider than cvcr.beforc. Recently we heard a sermon on "The Devil.’’ The material was practically alt takcrifroift ‘ the Bible, speculation occupying but a small place, and yet for the better part of an hour . the preacher kept the interest of. the'people and many expressed themselves as being wonderfully instructed, warned and helped. And 1 am confident that an orthodox sermon on God would be just as new and just as interesting to the average audience today. ■ Thirty years ago, when I entered the ministry, wc supposed' that holiness was the neglcctcd theme, and we offered as.an apology (or our continuous emphasis upon it■ the fact thit wc had' to preach it for ourselves and for the many prcachers who failed to preach on it. But now there arc so many themes for which wc must atone that it is really a wonderfully easy thing to be an “ unusual" preacher. About all one has to do is to stick to the fundamental themes of the gospcland it will soon be nofced ab()Ut that he is "unusual." : There is less excuse* than ever for going to the newspaper and to the magazine for themes. Go to the wonderlut-storehouses of Christian history( doctrine, and biography, Preach on the most foundational themes of our holy religion. Bring out the old and essential truths as the best defense against modern heresies. There never was a more timcty hour for the preacher of the old- time gospel than right now, and even the"humblest prodaimer of the pure Word of God can thank God that he is needed and needed much.

HARVARD C OLLEGE LIBRARY t ✓ -t-O t ^ —fro/I- .- f [•RES8F O CA8B, TIFrANY AND COMPANY, HARTFORD, CONN. PREFACE. The f ollowing pages contain a selection from the Gene alogical Notes made by my uncle, Nathaniel Goodwin, from time to time after his appointment to the office of Judge of Probate for the district of Hartford, in 1833, and prepared for publication by him during the last three or four of the latter years of his life. They were not designed by him to be complete genealogies even of the families which * are t reated of, but, as the title indicates, genealogical notes to assist others in tracing out their family histories. Mr. Goodwin had begun to print the work, making his final cor rections as the proof-sheets were brought to him, and had proceeded as far as page 68, when the printing was suspend ed, as he hoped temporarily, by a severe attack of disease, but as the event proved, finally, so far as he was concerned, by his death. At his request, made a few days before his death, and the desire of his executors, the manuscripts were placed in the hands of Henry Barnard, LL. D., President of the Connecticut Historical Society, who had rendered my uncle similar aid in his former publications, to see through the press ; but the pressure of his engagements obliged him, after the supervision of some fifty pages, to relinquish all further care of the work, beyond preparing a iv P REFACE.

    I For more than a quarter of a century Arthur Stanley Link, editor of The Papers of Woodrow Wilson and George Henry Davis ‘86 Professor of Anerican History at Princeton University, has been recognized as the world’s preeminent Wilson scholar. For a decade or longer he also has been acclaimed as the dean of the editors of political documents. In 1951, and again in 1g61, volumes in his extended biography of the twenty-sixth President won the Bancroft Prize. This spring he joined C. Vann Woodward and John Hope Franklin as the only hi stori ans to be president of the Anerican Historical Association, the Drganization of Pmerican Historians, and the Southern Historical Association. A man of strong convictions and imposing public presence, Professor Link is esteemed by intimates for his warmth, generosity, and loyalty. He was born on August 8, 1928 in New Market, Virginia, where his father was pastor of a Lutheran church. Educated in the public schools of North Carolina, he was graduated as a Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina in 1941. He then entered the graduate history program of that institution and studied with Fletcher M. Green, who directed his dissertation, and Howard K. Beale among others. Within four years he had earned the doctorate. Mean while he served as an instructor at North Carolina State and at Chapel Hill and spent nine months as a Rosenwald Fellow in Henry Steele Connnager’s seminar at Columbia University before joining the Princeton faculty in 1945. By 1947, the year the first volume of his biography of Wilson appeared under the title, Woodrow Wilson: The Road to the White [louse, he had published eight articles, including one in the journal of this association.
