When they c, x- perience worship and have an oex- nerience of C'ist-hon they know. Youl cannot prove G(0; you cannot prove Christ and vout cau- not prove worship, only for your- self. This youngmf arried man was living *for himself, thoughit ho was just as good as people wvho go to church and thoughit that the peo- pie who go to church could ho a whole lot better. Ho nreeds his sights raised. Ho does not know what he is missing until ho aliows himself to ho involved in a mean- ingfui way. Worship can ho experienced anywihere, but it is mnore likeiy to be experienced as people comie to- gethier on Sunday for the very purpose of wor-ship in a special way. It lifts us ont of the ordïn- a.ry routine of things. Often withi- out knowing it wo get inudae with life's responsibilities, cares and problemns. Few people go through life without exporienicing timies when they need a Power which is beyond themselves. Worship provides an opportun- ity through which God cani open our eyes and help us to see the great Power that is at Our dispos- ai1. We do not find it with our nose to thec grouind grubhing for money nr power or anythiing else. We need to ho lifted above these Lthings so we can get better per- spective. A true worship experi- once doos not have to ho in a Church building, it can ho any- where. This experience is expres- sied in the "Lost 'Chord." Here is -what happenied to one: "Seated one day at the organ 1 was weary and ili at ease And my fingers wandered idly Over the noisy keys. 1 lcnow not what I was playing Or what 1 was- dreaming, thon, But I struck one chord of music Like the sound of a great "Amen." It flooded the crimson twilight Like the close of an aàngel's Spsalm And it lay on mny fevered spirit With the touch of infinite calm It quieted pain and] sorrow Like love overcoming strife It seemed the harmonious echo From our discordant life." Hlere in a momient was the ex- pression of somethiing so profound that it cannot hoexplained. This often hau)pens right iu our midst. Over' and over again people are telling nie that somnethîng wonder- fui was experienced which gave them a whoie new perspective. That is why wo needl worship. Worship not oniy bringcs to us an understanding of the gcreat Power ad Our disposai and helps uis ex- perience prof ound things, but it helps to ive us a broader view.
