worship was so subdued formal conventional and proper that it lacked exhilaration en thusiasm and excitement on the day of pentecost there was no lack of demonstrativeneaa there was such collective emotion that the onlookers could not understand it and toe critics accused the converts of being full of new wine it is perhaps unwise to ex pect religious experience to create the mass hysteria of a political conven tion or the personal forgetfumeas of the spectators at a match or peine fight still water may be runn ing deeply religion may be a great er power just because it works more quietly and does not express itself chiefly in exuberance and noise many earnest christian people that they get more spiritual strength from an orderly service than from an eva which descends to ranting and emotional appeal they do not oppose deep feeling but they wish it to be thoughtful permanent based upon truth and faith inspiration 1018 peter understood the enthusiasm in evidence on the day of pentecost he knew what lay back of it he knew that followers of christ had been tell ing others for weeks by personal ex perience he knew the volume of prayer in the upper room and in many a home where the love ol christ had entered he was aware of the contrast between this crowd ol eager christians and the regular wor ship of the temple or synagogue these christians some of them of only a few adys or a few weeks standing ha1 n nptrfniitm jny but peter understood the causes of their emotion- they believed that god had come into human life through christ that their sins bad been forgiven through the atoning others when they find thai fiytakr ing christ as their conscience they get higher direction many people are confused about the holy spirit but at least they know the difference be tween living in- a mood of fear doubt hate and despair in contrast to the radiance joy trust and hope of chris tian faith this exalted plane of life comes through trust in ood and obedience to christ spiritual con vlctlon communicated to dthers can transform a congregation or a com munlty on a wide enough scale it would transform the world action 3840 the reality of religion is always de monstrated when people want to do something to make themselves and society- better when peter was ask ed what those convicted of guilt should do he told them to repent and to make a public confession of christ through baptism he promised them that they would receive the gift of- ohirst and they held the hope life after death wlht faith in ood salvation and eternity how could they help singing with exultation and greeting one another with a frenzy of joy conviction 36 37 religious inspiration is not a mon opoly of the clergy m the history of the church there have been waves of spiritual power going far beyond official church rfmtiwitf why should it not happen again would it be exaggeration for a modern preacher to announce as a sennon title pentecost it can happen hens it does appear where people face their own sms realistically when they get an experience of god grace working t the holy spirit that their family life would become different and that they would become immune to the moral dangers of their pagan environment we cannot keep our ignorance sel fishness and wrong habits if we wiah to enjoy- the fruits of the spirit love joy peace and fellowship long ago aristottefrsaid that no person could believe at one and the same time that god is and that god is not when at long last we do say amen affirm the eternal yea and believe that god is life takes on a new meaning and a higher satisfaction addition 41 why are more people nol won to the christian faith why does the membership roll in many congrega tions remain almost stationary has the novelty of the good news of the gospel worn off has the touch ol christ lost its ancient power is the experience of salvation explained away by psychology have the will of god and the hope of heaven be come only pious phrases at pente cost religion was contagious it was a value so demonstrable that others wished to possess it about three thousands souls were added to the christian society why doesnt happen now is it because we are trusting to organizations depending upon the momentum of the past contenting ourselves with only a twi light faith what has been done can be done again preachers with convictions such as peter had nesses quickened by prayer as the apostles were and christians freed from grasping greed as were the early christians could repeat and reproduce pentecost almost anywhere on earth questions for
