King's Business - 1964-05

KEEP ON SOWING A Christian, travelling in a steam­ boat, distributed tracts. While they were taken and read by many, a gen­ tleman took one, and folding it up, cut it with his penknife into small pieces; then holding it up in derision, threw it away. One piece adhered to his coat; he picked it off, and, looking at it, saw only the word “God.” He turned it over; on the other side, was printed “Eternity.” They stood out as living words before him. “God” — “Eternity.” He went to the bar, called for brandy to drink to drive them away, but in vain. Then he went to the gamblingtable, to social intercourse and conversation; b u t those solemn words haunted him wherever he went, until he was brought a penitent to the feet of Jesus. What an encouragement to the Christian traveller to sow seed by the wayside! NO COMPLAINT A pastor had on his desk a note­ book labeled, “Complaints of Members Against Members.” When one of his people called to tell him the faults of another, he would say, “Well, here’s my Com­ plaint Book. I’ll write down what you say, and you can sign it. Then when I have to take the matter up official­ ly, I shall know how I may expect you to testify.” The sight of the open book and the ready pen had its effect. “Oh no, I could not sign anything like that.” And no entry was made. The minister says he kept the book for forty years, opened it probably a thousand times, and never wrote a line in it. TIME IS RUNNING OUT The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations progressed through this sequence: From Bondage to Spiritual Faith From Spiritual Faith to Great Cour­ age From Courage to Liberty From Liberty to Abundance From Abundance to Selfishness From Selfishness to Complacency From Complacency to Apathy From Apathy to Dependency ; From Dependency back again into Bondage. In 16 years our United States will be 200 years old. This cycle is not inevitable. “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the dav of salvation” (II Cor. 6:2).
