August 14,1963 worship in the heart of the altar maker that was the big factor. There is an altar in a humble little church. It was simply made by the hands of some kind laborer. It stretches across the front of the auditorium and does double duty as the front of the platform. But I know it is a wonderful altar. It qualified as much as the altar God com­ manded to be made. For there I knelt and there He met with me and lo, my sins were forgiven. At that altar life began for me. There have been other altars here and there along the way.

However, happiness and holiness go together.

It is said that one day a minister was walking with a troubled man who expressed his doubt as to the goodness of God, and he said, “I do not know what I shall do with all this worry and trouble.” At the same moment the preacher saw a cow looking over a stone wall. “Do you know,” By CARL L.
