    They May Not Always Agree— But They Do Read “Wid’s” Everyone agrees that advertising is good. The derision is always one of how to reach the people you want to reach so that you are sure they see your announcement. W id has never claimed or expected that everyone will adways agree with his opinions. The important thing from the viewpoint of the advertiser is that every important personage in the film industry—executive, director, au¬ thor, player, technical artists and theater owners—does read carefully what he has to say. It is your job to sell yourself. That's good business. Everyone expects you to, because, after all, that's your job. Having ability is one thing, and selling that ability is something else.

    i&F&t&^&X VOLUME XXIV DECEMBER, 1951 NUMBER 12 The Christmas Yet to Come BEN GLANZER * \WONDERFUL and assuring are these words: "Like the stars in the vast " circuit of their appointed path, Cod©s purposes know no haste and no delay." When the hour strikes, "when the fulness of the time" comes, Cod acts! The promise of the Redeemer made to our first parents was thrilling, and "they looked for its speedy fulfillment." But Adam and Eve lived and died "without the sight." Then patriarchs and prophets repeated the promise and kept alive the hope, but the Messiah still tarried. Devastating wars and terrible famines came and went; empires rose and fell; the yoke of the oppressor and the bondage of sin weighed heavily upon the souls of men, until finally Cod©s great clock of prophecy pointed to the hour. Then suddenly, it seemed the promise was fulfilled! And "the hopes and fears of all the years" converged on Bethlehem. Now another event awaits fulfillment the return of the One whose coming brought hope to a dark world. The centuries have been long and trying since the seer penned the promise, "Behold, I come quickly." To the scoffer and to the unbeliever it may appear that "all things continue as they were from the beginning." ©But to him who is "waiting and watching," a thousand un- .mistakable signs herald the glorious day. We are moving more swiftly than we realize toward the hour when men will pay homage, not to a Babe in Bethlehem, but to the conquering "King of kings and Lord of lords"! While at this season everything combines to help us see by faith His star above the dark background of war, and as we catch the echo of the angels© song of long ago, let us also live in the anticipation of that radiant morning when the shadows of sin will be no more.

  • The Epistles of St. Paul to the Thessalonians, Galatians and Romans: Essays and Dissertations
    The Epistles of St. Paul to the Thessalonians, Galatians and Romans: Essays and Dissertations Author(s): Jowett, Benjamin (1817-1893) Campbell, Lewis (Editor) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Benjamin Jowett lived two lives: one as a churchman, and the other as a philosopher. As Oxford's regius professor of Greek, he gave lectures on both Paul's letters and Plato's dialogues. During visits to Continental Europe, Jowett met and studied the works of prominent German philosophers. He brought Hegelianism back to England with him, becoming one of Great Britain's most influential liberal theologians. The Epistles of St. Paul is regarded as one of the seminal works of liberal theology and biblical hermeneutics. In spite of his natural inclinations as someone proficient in Greek, Jowett argued that the meanings of Paul's letters should not be limited by language and syntax, but by context and history. More conservative theologians objected to Jowett's extra- textual hermeneutic, but Jowett's work nevertheless allowed biblical scholars to gain new insights from reading Paul in new ways.

  • History of St. Chrysostom's Would Be Complete Without Paying Tribute to Frederick Spalding
    The History of St. Chrysostom’s Episcopal Church HISTORY OF ST. CHRYSOSTOM’S CHURCH CHAPTER 1 Thaddeus A. Snively: First Years of the Parish, 1893-1907 Sunday, January 15, 1893. "CROWDED AND COLD. Marked Characteristics of Nearly All Street-Cars," read the lead story in that day's Chicago Tribune. "TRIALS OF WEST-SIDERS. The Early Morning Service Declared To Be Wretched. NORTH SIDE NO BETTER OFF. Even the South Side Lines Are Said To Be Falling from Grace." The poor service must have been a particular hardship during the previous days; a cold spell had gripped the city and the entire eastern third of the country for most of the preceding week, with Chicago temperatures reaching -12 by midnight on the 14th (they would drop to -16 for several hours early Sunday morning before moderating later in the day). Chicagoans suffering from the extreme weather could plan to purchase on the following day, according to their budgets, real mink capes at $25.00, astrakhan fur reefers at $20.00 or military ulsters at $7.50 from Schlesinger and Mayer's at the southeast corner of State and Madison Streets; men's winter underwear at $1.25 and 49c could be bought at the Hub on the northwest corner of State and Jackson. (Those persons preferring to shop at Marshall Field's would have had to wait a day to see what was available, since Field's did not at that time advertise on Sundays.) Much news space was devoted to the forthcoming World's Columbian Exposition: a gang of French crooks with plans to "work the Fair" had just been arrested, and an article by Caroline S.

Strickland SEVEN YEARs' STREET PREACHING IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA; EMBRACING INCIDENTS, TRIUMPHANT DEATH SCENES, ETC. BY REV. WILLIAM TAYLOR, OF THE CALIFORNIA CONFERENCE. “Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city.” “The common people heard him gladly.” EDITED BY W. P. STRICKLAND. SIXTH THOUSAND. New York: PUBLISHED FOR THE AUTHOR Seven years' street preaching in San Francisco, California; embracing incidents, triumphant death scenes, etc. By Rev. William Taylor. Edited by W.P. Strickland http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.109 BY CARLTON & PORTER, 200 MULBERRY-STREET. 1857. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1856, by D. L. ROSS, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the Southern District of New-York. INTRODUCTION. THERE is a certain class of books which need no introduction, a single glance at their title and contents being sufficient to secure them a reading. It is unnecessary to say that the following work is of that character. The author, as various allusions in the body of the work will show, was a street preacher before he went to California, and in the streets of the Monumental City and the Capital he received that initiatory training and qualification for addressing crowds in the open air, which fitted him so successfully for preaching the Gospel among the crowding thousands on the shores of the Pacific, before the erection of churches. His labors at home in this particular department of Christian effort doubtless pointed him out to the authorities of the Church as the very man for that new and interesting field, so strangely opened by Providence to the citizens of the United States.

  • “The God Who Has the Last Word” Jer
    1 Judgment and Promise: God Speaks through the Prophet Jeremiah, #12 “The God Who Has the Last Word” Jer. 36 CEFC 4/18/21 ___________ “Revive us again!” I think of the words of Psalm 85—a prayer for revival— “Restore us again, God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us. Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?” (vv. 4-6). Do you pray for revival? I hope you do, for the church in this country is in desperate need of revival. Don’t we long for that powerful work of the Spirit that awakens our hearts to the reality of God— to his holiness and love, to his judgment and his grace. That has happened in the past. There are wonderful Youtube videos going around describing the amazing spiritual revival that took place on the island of Lewis in the Scottish Hebrides in 1949. 1 2 It was an extraordinary outpouring on the Spirit resulting in a manifest presence of God. People who hadn’t darkened the door of a church in years came out in great throngs to hear the Word of God preached. They were convicted of their sin and were heard weeping in the pews. Thousands of people were converted, transforming whole towns. There are some amazing stories./ Whether you realize it or not, our church, as a part of the Evangelical Free Church of America, exists because of a revival. The Free Church was birthed during the Scandinavian revivals of the 19th century. The State church was spiritually dead, and the Lord raised up what were called “Readers Groups”— cells of people who began reading the Bible together and discovering a new experience of living faith in the risen Christ-- a Savior who sends the life-giving Spirit to change the human heart.

The mighty powers are talk­ ing of creating new orders, such as “The New Order in Asia,” and “The New Order in Europe.” Truly old things are passing away. The machinery and transport of yesterday are obsolete today. Old memories, which have been so dear to many of us, and have been refreshed to our minds as we looked at the treasured portraits, are a bore to the rising generation. New “isms” and interpretations are crowding out the old, substantial truths, which have been held so sacred and necessary to our spiritual lives. Just where do we go from here? It is a good thing to find a safe anchorage somewhere and not permit ourselves, our hopes and our faith to drift away in the flood tide of modern chaos.
