FAITH
Ab we study the subject of faith, we should
find the answer to three questions, namely: 1.
What is faith? 2 How is faith obtained? 3. How
do we profit by faith ? In arriving at the answers
to these questions we should be able~t<riearn the
importance of faith. "But without faith it is im
possible to please him, for he that cometh to
God must believe . . .” Hel}. 11:6;
What Is Faith? "Now faith is the substance
of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen.” Heb. 11:1: Faith is confidence as to the
future, including blessings in this life and also
the hope of heaven as an everlasting home. It is
also a conviction regarding the truthfulness of
testimony concerning the past, including the cre
ation of the world and man. Everything that
man has ever done, or even ever can do that will
please God, has, and must be "by faith."
How is faith obtained? Please read and
ponder the first ten verses of Heb. 11: And ob
serve how Abraham and Noah received their
faith. God told them what to do, and what He
would do, and they believed Him. "So then faith
that cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God." Rom. 10:17; People too often say, ‘T
believe" when they should say. "It is my opin
ion," in religious matters. If God has not spoken
in the Bible concerning a subject, is it not a sub
ject of faith. In the absence of testimony there
can be no faith. Faith comes by hearing!
How Do We Profit By Faith ? No one except
an atheist, an infidel or a heathen would deny
that people who are saved are saved by faith That,
however, is a far different thing, to being saved
by faith only. The Bible plainly states that it
is not by faith only. "Ye see then how that by
works a man is justified, and not by faith only."
Jas. 2:24; The ancient of whom we read
in Heb. 11: profited by their faith, by exercising
their faith in obedience. “By faith Abraham . .
obeyed.” “By faith Abel offered .. .” "By faith
Noah . . • prepared an ark . . .” The faith that
saves is the faith that obeys. We do not have the
same commands in this the Christian age, but the
principle of faith and obedience is the same. One
who stops short of baptism now does not have the
faith that saves from past sins, and one who re
fuses to obey commands of God addressed to
Christians doesn’t have the faith that saves etern
ally. "He that believeth and is baptized shall be
saved." Mk. 16:16; "Be thou faithful unto death,
and I will give thee a crown of life." Rev. 2:19;
(1) Believing is faith accepting. (2) Repenting
is faith turning. (3) Confession is faith speak
ing. (4) Baptism is faith obeying. (5) Sacrifice
is faith giving. (6) Singing is faith praising.
(7) Preaching is faith teaching. (8) Christianity
is faith living.

CHARLES IVES AND HIS MUSIC. By Henry
Cowell and Sidney Cowell. 253 pages. Oxford
University Press. 1969.
The music of Charles Ives is finally coming
to be recognized for what it really is: an achieve
ment as authentically American as the stories of
Mark Twain and the poems of Walt Whitman.
Ives was born in Danbury, Connecticut, in
1874. His father, at one time a Civil War band
leader, taught music , and somehow managed to
encourage in his son an openness to musical inno
vation and experimentation which rather shocked
his professors when he came to Yale—to say
nothing of the congregation he served as organist
and choirmaster. His music is still jarring to
many who hear it for the first time.
Most of Ives’ music was written between
1896 and 1916, and in the evening and on week
ends while he was building a highly successful
insurance business in New York. What Ives
worked with for the most part was American folk
music of the turn of the century: hymn tunes,
college songs, band pieces, dance melodies. These
he shaped into powerful musical entities—songs,
sonatas, choral works, symphonies—musically as
complex as life itself, complex almost to the point
of impossibility. His Fourth Symphony, for ex
ample, (of which there is a recording in the Li
brary), requires at one point three conductors to
hold everything together.
Ives—vigorous, optimistic, open-minded—re
jected sissified music and heaped scorn on his
contemporaries who ran off to Europe for their
musical models. In later years Ives suffered
from poor health, becoming perhaps somewhat ec
centric in his personal reserve Yet, Emerson
and Thoreau were in his blood, and he never ceas
ed to believe that “there is always something more
to be said." For Ives, experience in all its varied
forms, was the magnificent expression of the Uni
versal Mind. He died in 1954.
The belated recognition of Ives as a major
American composer owes much to Henry and Sid
ney Cowell, whose admiration for Ives is evident
in this fine study of his life and work. A com
poser himself and also a music publisher, Henry
Cowell kept the name and music of Ives before
the public through his lectures and concerts until
those for whom Ives’ ideas had been too advanced
in 1916 came of age. (Ives received a Pulitzer
prize for his Third Symphony in 1947).
The Cowells’ book is in two parts, the first
dealing with Ives’ life and the second with his
music. It is hijrhly recommended as an introduc
tion to one of America’s greatest composers.
