Preaching The Gospel
At summer school one summer,
In a nearby State, a young girl was
asked one evening to tell of her
expedience as a chureh worker
among the factory people of her
Iiome town. She IJved in what is
known as a mill town, in the
South.
She said, as a representative of
Ihe young people’s organization of
a certain church, she found
seme difficulty in winning the
friendship of the mill people. They
"were not discourteous to her but
*&ey seemed to be afraid of this
church. They seemed to feel
that it stood for things very
foreign to their conception of
Christianity. But she said she had
found that there were two ways by
which she could always win the
friendship of these families and
Sain their confidence. One way
was to help the woman cut with
her week’s washing, athd the other
was to sit up all night with, and
wait on, the sick, in the homes. She
said that services of this nature
always broke down every barrier
and made these people her friends.
In this brief, informal statement
of her experience this girl preach
ed a great sermon.. She expound
ed the essence of Christianity and
interpreted its real meaning as ap
plied to everyday life. This is the
kind of social service that Jesus
wanted every Christian to do. It
was through sendee of the kind
performed by this young girl in
giving a helping hand to those in
need of help, in the common ac
tivities and duties of every-day
life that Jesus expected to win men
to his ’Cause. Helping with the
washing and sitting up and wait
ing on the sick child at night in
order that the mother might get

.onie resu irom her arduous duties,
is Christian service of the highest
order.
It was “social service” of this
kind that Jesus had in mind when
he washed the disciples’ feet; it
was social service of this nature
that he had in mind when he said,
“Let your light so shine before
men that they may see your good
works and glorify your Father
which is in heaven.”
People are confused by the very
simplicity of Christianity. It isn’t
necessary to go off to school to
learn how to do effective social
service. It isn’t necessary to take
special courses in leadership in
order to learn how to influence
men, and lead people to an appre
ciation of Christianity. Go down
to their homes on Monday morn
ing and hdlp out with the v/eek’s
“washing,” and sit up with, and
wait on sick children. This is the
most effective way to preach the
gospel and win people to follow
Jesus.
Many people are tired of preach
ing today. They are tired from
listening to arguments about
Christianity, about the Christian
theory of life. They are tired of
listening to appeals to join this
and that organization. They are
tired of conventions and confer
ences and meetings for organiza
tion. What the people need and
what they really want today is
demonstrations of Christianity
such as this girl gave. Such dem
onstrations are far more effective
in breaking down opposition to the
church than any arguments that
theologians may make. Such dem
onstrations are far more effective
hi melting hard hearts and bring
ing sinners to repentance than elo
quent sermons, and scholarly dis
courses. " ,

Chevrolet Company
Aims At Aecuracy
“Hand built throughout” used to
be the hallmark of American in
dustry, the “Tiffany touch” to the
quality output of American manu
facturers everywhere.
Today, such are the precision
demands of mass production in the
automobile and many other indus
tries, that to call a product hand-
built would be to brand it as a
crude product indeed.
When parts are put together at
the assembly line they must fit to
hair-broadth accuracy, else the
efficiency of the whole unit is de
stroyed and delays are occasioned
that are far above cost limit. Such
a variable factor as the human
aquation must play only a minor
role in measuring variances, for re
search engineers have found the
ight ray infinitely more exacting
than the human eye. And so they
have developed many wonderful
Instruments to displace the old-
time workman with his calipers—
instrunlents tens and hundreds of
times more accurate.
Concrete examples of the exact
ness required in precision manu
facture are provided every few
steps along 'the assembly lines of
the motor plant of the Chevrolet
Motor Company, at Flint, Mich.
Here every motor has to undergo
5,162 separate precision inspec-
cicns, and one man in every six is
an inspector.
“Check and double-check” has
become a part of the American
vernacular, but in the (Chevrolet
plant it is the law and the sta
tute. Without it the enormous
volume of the company would be
impossible, for precision is the first
law of volume production.
Among the thousands of inspec
tions in the plant, the following

taken it ever since,
when I needed a

Perfect fit of piston rings is in
sured by means of a special light
test inspection. . Connecting rods
are subjected to inspections for
weight, straightness and alignment
of the upper and lower bearings.
If'the alignment is not perfect the
rod is not used. The rods, with
caps and bearings in place, also
are weighed and accurately match
ed in sets according to weight,
which must not vary a quarter of
an ounce.
A tolerance of within two thou
sandths of an inch is the maxi
mum for Chevrolet camshafts
which are repeatedly tested for
weight, straightness, shape of the

Timing gears are matched in sets

I. Jacob's Birth (23:21-26).
In answer to Isaac’s prayer, a seed
was given unto him. Before Jacob’s
birth God revealed unto Rebekab the
fact that be should have the place of
pre-eminence. “The elder shall serve
the younger.” In this God reversed
the ordinary law concerning the posi
tion of the elder son. (The act of tak
ing hold of Esau’s heel as he was
born, indicated Jacob’s nature. The
name Jacob means “supplantef.”
II. Jacob's Schemes (23:27-;i4; 27:1-
20).
1. lie. secured Esau’s birthright
(23:27-.‘i4i.
It was right for Jacob to have the
birthright since it was according to
God’s plan as revealed to Itebekah,
hut his scheme to get it was repre
hensible. lie took advantage bf a
brother's weakness to drive a sharp
bargain.
2. Secured his father’s blessing
(27:1-20). (1) Was requested to gei
venison for his father. (2) Rebekah’s
scheme (vv. 3-0.2). It was God’s plan
that Jacob should he at the head, hut
He did not need the sin of Jacob and
his mother to bring it about.
III. Jacob's Flight to Haran (eh. 28).
Jacob’s deceit and cunning got him
into trouble. He was compelled to liee
from his outraged brother. He rum
began to reap what he had sown.
1. Jacob’s vision! at Bethel (28:10
13).
Jacob not only had to flee to save
Ids life, hut lie had to leave home and
mother. When night overtook him, lie
was obliged to sleep in a field with a
stone for a pillow. It was under such i
circumstances rhuiythe Lord gave him
the wonderful vision at Bethel. (1) Me
saw a ladder reaching from earth to
heaven (v. 12). Jesus Christ is the lad
der. connecting eartli and heaven for
us (John 1:31). (2) lie* saw angels of
God upon the ladder (v. 12). These
angels were divine helpers to render
needed assistance along life’s way. (8)
The Lord standing nluove the ladder
(vv. 18-17). To show Jacob that the
ladder did not reach merely into space
God appeared and talked wit Si him. a.
He declared that He was the God of
Abraham and of Isaac, thus assuring
Jacob time tlie same favor that - was
over his fathers w^rs over him (v. L“>).
b. He renewed the covenant as to the
land. Though Jacob was now fleeing
from the land, the covenant would not
fail. (v. 18). c. He assured him of a
numerous seed (v. 14). d. The divine
presence with Jacob (v. 13). Though
he had sinned. God was with him. e.
Jacob should he brought again into
the land (v. 13).
2. Jacob’s vow (vv. IS 22).
His vow included three things. (1)
Dedication of himself to God (v. 12).
(2). Establishment of worship (vv. 18,
IP). (8) Consecration of Isis substance
(v. 22).
%
IV. Jacob's return to Canaan
(chaps. 81-88).
1. The Lord instructs him (81 :H-21).
Twenty years have elapsed since
Ids experiences at Bethel. These years
were spent in Pudan-aram with his
mother’s people. Here he served Laban
for twenty years. Though if was the
purpose of God for him to return, lie
took clandestine leave of Laban. Laban
pursued him in anger, hut God ap
peared to Laban and forbade him to
lay hands upon Jacob.
2. Jacob on the way (Gen. 82).
Though Jacob tied from Lallan’s
'pursuit, a more formidable enemy
faced him in the person of Esau. (1)
Jacob meeting the angels (v. 1). (2)
Jacob praying (vv. P-12). Not receiv
ing a reply from Esau, Jacob cast
himself upon God in prayer. (8) The
angel wrestling with Jacob (vv. 24-
82). lie continued to wrestle until the
approach of morning, not knowing tiiat
it was God in human form wrestling
with him. God humbled him by dis
locating ids thigh. When thus hum
bled, he quit wrestling and clung to
God. He got the blessing when he, con
scious of ids weakness, laid hold upon
God. (4) A new name (v. 28). He was
no longer Jacob, the “supplanter,” but
Israel, a “prince of God.” His new
name was given him after he had a
new nature.
