WHERE CAN A JEW FIND CHRIST?

On street corners, in homes, in shops, and in our witnessing' cen­ ters, our workers faith­ fully proclaim the story of redemption'accord­ ing to Moses and the prophets, and the gos­ pel message from the New Testament, and Jews are finding the Saviour. For help in witnessing, or for your own spiritual need, write to: Rev. A. A. MacKinney G eneral Director Am erican M essianic Fellowship 7448 N. Dam en Avenue, Chicago, III. 6 06 45 generous income, and to determine with certainty the disposal after their death of that which the Lord entrusted to their stewardship without delays, deductions, inheritance taxes, and probate court costs.

A Jewish boy accepted a tract, "Isaiah's Por­ trait of Messiah" and immediately asked, "Can you tell me more about this?" There on a street corner in Chicago a 12 year old boy listened intently to the skillful presentation of the Scriptures and ac­ cepted Jesus Christ as his Messiah and Sav­ iour. A middle-aged Jew­ ess, after hearing the gospel for several years at Miami Beach called and said, "I am terribly distressed! Please come over. I must find the Lord today."

J n t h e M a y 5 issue o f The Los Angeles Times a news item ap­ peared entitled, "Ten Churches Approve Drafting Plan o f Union.” It was a report o f a meeting in Cambridge, Massachu­ setts, composed o f delegates from ten Protestant denominations and called "Consultation on Church Union” (COCU ) COCU is merely another attempt on the part o f Ecumenicists in the various denominations to bring about a church union regardless o f the costs in principles and convictions o f Bible-believing, dedi­ cated laymen and clergymen alike in the participating denomi­ nations. Incidentally, the participating denominations include the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the Christian Churches (Disciples o f Christ), the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, the Evan­ gelical United Brethren Church,, the Methodist Church, the Pres­ byterian Church in the U.S., (Southern), the Protestant Episco­ pal Church, the United Church o f Christ, and the United Presby­ terian Church U.S.A. The leaders o f this movement "would hope that other churches would join us as soon as possible so as to share fully in the preparation o f the plan.” This is not the time or place to enter into an extended study o f the proposed merger o f these ten Protestant denomination^ but suffice it to say that any union o f the above-named group will have to consist o f a theological mish-mash o f the worst type. It is quite readily admitted that such a United Church "will con­ stantly remind itself o f the divisive dangers in verbal confession- and intellectual formulations.” It is stated further that "it will not permit the use o f any single confession as an exclusive re­ quirement for all or as a basis for divisions within the new community.” The great doctrines o f the infallibility o f the Bible, the virgin birth, the vicarious atonement o f our Lord Jesus Christ and His bodily resurrection, may be believed by members o f the union, but it is not necessary to believe them in order to be or­ dained into the union as a preacher or to become a member o f one o f the churches o f the union. These must not be insisted upon as a basis o f membership either for laymen or the- clergy. Many or most o f the other major doctrines found in the Word o f God
