Our faith is built on God's Word, and upon such testimony as this by eyewitnesses. Here is real ground for assured belief in CSirist. Great experiences of spiritual renewing and power lead to effective life and testimony for Christ. They may not be in outward manifestations, in fact they are most often in the inner recesses of man's soul; but they do transform men and send them forth to magnificent living for God. One wonders if much of the dearth of power in the Christian Church is not to be attributed directly to the lack of such experiences with God. The disciples had an unforgettable mountain-top experience. Even so have many others found the secret of power. It came to D. L. Moody as he walked down a New York street, ptaying in agony, "Deliver me from myself. Take absolute sway." The story of wh^t.Jiappened to him and through him as a surrendered instrument in God's hand is written large on the pages of history. Others have had similar experiences. Let us remember that such privileges are not reserved for a few, they are the birthright of every Christian. Power without knowledge is a dangerous and destructive thing, but knowledge without power is a dead thing, resulting in a stale and unfruitful orthodoxy that in turn produces a dreadful and unchristian religious system. The wife has long said "my house" and ''my car." Now at last she can even say "my pants." |ufcI; A NNOUNCRMENTS Bethesda Presbyterian Church Sunday, April 11, A, Douglas McAru, pastor: Church school at ton a. in., with a Bible class for every age from two years old up.
