/ Rev, Hartman Undertakes Interesting Experiment to Talk to the Unchurched —Will Hold Wednesday Night Informal Forums as Part of New Program?, By THE VISITOR Men and women who are not church members will have a chance to discuss their differences with the Rev. Ohiy V. Hartman, pastor of the Hall Place M. E. Church. i The pastor will not wait for people outside of his conguftgation to come to church, but will meet them at the home of friends on Wednesday night. At these meetings, the Rev. Hartman will discuss any questions of doubt along philosophical lines.
He also will attempt to discuss and “iron out” any difference of opinion regarding personal relations to the church which might have resulted in not attending church. The Rev. Hartman will be glad to make the place of meeting to those desiring to attend these meetings. By going into various homes and discussing the problems before a small group, the Rev. Hartman believes that he will be able to meet face to face the problems and misunderstandings which prevent people from attending church. He will try out this experiment;and if results are obtained and enough interest develop, the Rev. Hartman will continue along these lines. The Pastor’s Wife When a church efigages a minister the congregation generally gets the services of two for the price of one. Meaning that the wife of the pastor has as much to do as her husband- Her success depends a great deal upon the congregation as well as the wife.' The Hartmans have been at Hall Place for more than a year and a half. The membership is now 300, sixty being added In the last two weeks through a revival. Mrs. Hartman Is the mother of two children, Martha Jean, 8, and Gerald Vincent, 5. Miss Martha goes in for music while Gerald Is the constant companion of his father. While I was visiting them at

.. WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON ■ \ ' . • . . ,V V Savior Comforts His Disciples in Time of Trouble
The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 25. How Jesus Comforts His Disciples.—John 14:1-17. By WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Thß Congregationalist El OW true it is in life that it is the great burden-bearers and those whose sorrows have been the heaviest who are the greatest ministers of comfort to other people! During the Great War an active labor leader, who was a member of the congregation to which I was then ministering, and who was also one of my most intimate personal friends, enlisted as on engineer and went overseas. He hated war as intensely as I did, and he had gone forth with a holy purpose. He knew the circumstances that had’prevented tpy going with him, and he knew all the burden that I was carrying in upholding faith and righteousness and love In a world that seemed all adrift from Its moorings, and in ministering help to homes in which the war had brought doubt and despair, tragedy and death. From the farthest war-front, when this man was engaged daily in service out between the lines. In places in comparison with which the trenches were relatively safe, came letters to me which suggested that he had taken it upon himself as a

chief duty to comfort me, and help to kefp my faith clear and strong. Savior Who Suffers That seems amazing, but it is a symbol of what has been ever happening in the world. It Is the Savior who Suffers, and who yields His own life, who gives life and peace to others. It is the mother who bears the heaviest burdens in the home, to whom everybody in the home looks for help and sympathy. And how seldom has anybody In the home looked to mother in vain! • So. here In our lesson, it Is Jesus facing the cross, who bids others not be troubled. He who needs comfort, and who l’eels His loneliness so acutely, “What! could ye not watch with me one hour?”—finds His strengthen comforting others. . Yet this is not strange. For most of us life’s burdens and sorrows are crushing because our strength is small and our vision limited, but it is the quality 6t great souls that they rise to larger vision, and see a meaning in life that is denied to those who are earth-bound and sense-bound. Jesus always brought men the comfort of helping them to see thinga for themselves. He comforts the disciples by assuring them that there are things they may take for granted, “If it were not so I would have told you.” Men must find.the larger faith and trust by faith and trust In that
which is nearest to vision and experience. . Believed in God These disciples believed in God, but their faith was more formal than clear and strong. In that they were like most of us, for to large numbers of people who profess belief In God He Is more an abstraction than a reality. So, Jesus said: “Ye believe In God, believe also In Me.” "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Fat Her." - It Is In the fact of the Incarnation that we find the way of help toward faith and comfort. If God were not incarnate in human life, how should we ever know Him? How should the Eternal be to us anything other than an abstraction? The doctrine of the Incarnation need not be to us a matter of mystery and metaphysics. There is a sense in which it is a very practical doctrine. For the whole teaching of Paul, who in this is a sound interpreter of Jesus, is that In the true Christian there is the incarnation of Christ, and the nearer,the Christian comes to his Master, the more he reveals Christ in the same way that Christ reveals the Father. The Solution If we would know God let us commune with godly men; If we wouid know Christ let us live among the Chrlst-like. Too often we seek help and com-
fort through reasoning about things when contact with men of godly faith and godly experience would do more for us. To know a good man is anchorage in the stress and strain of life; and to rest assured that goodness In men is the surest proof of God is the way of conviction and faith In times when the soul needs vision.

*He that hath seen Me,” says Jesus, ’hath seen the Father.” The word is crying out for the vision of God, and the way to see Him and Know Him is to live with Jesus of Nazareth, to follow Him In all the simplicity and beauty of His earthly life, and to experience His grace and power in contact with the lives of those whom He haa inspired and made strong.
