NOTES KRdM 8EC<lN,n j CALVARY CHURCH May H, 1939?Last Sunday our C pastor varied his series of sermons from "The Bedrock erf Pro- ^ testanism" which he has discussed for several weeks to "The Of * fice of Prophesy Today". He began by showing that prophesy is _f the act of speaking for God. And may and often does foretell future events as results of fruits of pres- ^ er?t day seeds sown. Prophesy is expressed not only in words but in deeds. Truths are often more incleilibly impressed through the eye than t-hrough the ear. He next compared the work of the phot of today wnth that of former ^ times, even in the last half cen tury. He said that, in tear many j cases, the effort seems rather to please the crowd than to help y them; rather to seek his direction from the audience during the discourse than from the Holy Spirit before the service; rather to work for the spirited applause of the amen corners than the "Well done plaudit orf his Lord and Master.
