By the preacher, that is. There are denominations that don't take much stock in preadung—andto'cbnseqwmce'ife" not famous for good sermons. Bui the churches supporting this column are all preaching churches They make a great deal of it „ mHb When you attend a “worship servIce” at 11 A.M. jdß&t on Sunday in agj one of these . ' |fl churches, out of , an hour's time fl| you will be expected to listen «■ to a man talking Dr. Foreman at least half that time. Couldn’t i you get what the preacher Is try- : Ing to say. faster, if he just passed I out leaflets containing his sermon, i all printed out? The Christian custom of preach- ! Ing arose because this religion took , Its start among illiterate people. Those who could really read and write, beyond a few words, were far more rare than they now are in the lands of the world. Furthermore, since all the first j Christians were Jews, they were already used to the synagogue ) service, where from childhood they had been brought up to expect some one to read aloud and to explain the Scriptures. Person to Person If the Christian- church bad de- - t pended, when it began, on written literature, it would hardly have got a start All through the New Testament one finds expressions like “faith comes by what is heard.” Not by what is read! The very word "preaching” means pro- ' claiming, and seldom refers to written proclamations. The question may occur to a modern Christian: Isn't this out of date? Don’t we live in an age of public schools ' and literacy? Are We expected al- < ways to hive faith by ear, as it were, and not by eye? ■ There are many good reasons why even me most progressive churches have no intention of giving up preaching, or to put it on one side. It is quite true (and has always been true) that there are other ways of "hearing” the Gospel than by ear. Nevertheless preaching is still blessed by God. This does not mean that every socalled sermon enjoys God’s blessing. Some “preaching” is no better than a lot of unlovely noise. But preaching is blessed: that is, by it men are aroused from indifference to. God, they are converted, growing Christians are helped to grow, and suffering Christians are helped to take their burdens in a Christlike way. Why is this? One of the reasons is, that good preaching is person -to - person. It has a this-means-you overtone in it. A writ- ' ten thing can be ignored, thrown Into a wastebasket; but it is harder to ignore a sincere man who is talking to you about God and you. Congregations could help themselves, and if they would do something about this. Try to make out what the subject is. What’s He Driving At? The common expression, “What's he driving at?” really means, What Is he trying to say, in a nutshell? What is the theme, the topic, the subject, of his remarks’ A poor preacher may not even know; or he may know what he is trying to talk abopt, but his actual sermon may cast no light whatever on his subject. But in a good sermon everything the preacher says comes out of his central theme or idea. And—a most important point: his central theme or idea ought to be drawn from God’s Word. If not, then the so-called preacher is actually only reading an essay oi giving a rambling talk on some of his own notions. What’s Ha Driving For? If a minister really preaches th* Word of God, if he takes the whole Bible for his base-line, he will not lack for vital and thrilling subjects. But one of America's most famous preachers, .whose wife used to ask him regularly every Friday nighty “Darling, what’s your subject for next Sunday?” was thrown into a tailspin by a different question from her> one night: “Darling, what’s your object?” Preaching, when it Is good. Is persuasive. The object is to take people from where they are at least a little nearer to where they ought to be. Ministers are often taught to “preach for a verdict'* If a minister is really preaching the Word, he win be proclaiming the Way of Life. He win be making the way to God simple, and the life In God real Like Paul, he wants by all means “to win some”—to Christ
