J uly, 1961 THE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST ~~~--------~--~----~--~~~------------~---- Page Five S)''Ilagogues, penetrating its palaces, '"'·alking the treets proclaiming the NEW HOME OF FAITH BAPTIST, COLUMBUS Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. __,.........,_,,, Look at the achie, ,eme11 ts of this great man, Paul, and sicken a t the com– promise of this present d ay genera– tion of Chri tians! Paul ,,ras not only a cit)·-,vide preacher , but a city– "'ide shaker , ,et he also had time to " knock on doors and pra): 1 for souls in the homes ,, 1 here he found admis- • SI On . A top line e\ 'angelist of our day ,,rill not come to a chtrrch unless guaranteed $300 a \\'eek for the campaign. Such men ,vill even preach and even weep for souls-if the price is rightl Brethre1 , this is the time to blush, for \i\ 1 e have 110 shame; the time to \i\ 1 eep for our lack of tears; the time to bend lo,v, for we have lost the humble touch of servants; the time to groan be– cause we have no burden ; the time to be angry ,vith ourselves because ,ve have no anger at the devil's mon– opoly in this end-time hour; and the time to chastise ourselves over the fact that the world can get along '\vith us so easily. Let us go back to Pentecost for a moment . Imagine Pentecost in )'Our church this Sunday. Are you endued as \.•/as Peter? Under your ,~.rords does Brother Smith drop d ead and h is ,vife soon die beside him? Or think of Paul smiting Elymas \\ 1 ith blindness.
