PAGE 2- PLAINDEALERFKIDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1973 T)he IVolty. inic Read Mark's confession about the miracle that happened to him in the pulpit. He had subconsciously realized that he was failing and his diplomatic wife then tried to get him on the right track. She did! For he had all that was needed to be an outstanding success except the proper point of view! By-George W.Crane, Ph. D., M.D. QASE K-548: Mark W., aged 32, is a seminary professor. "Dr. Crane," he began, "I used to resent your criticism of clergymen. "For you would classify about 25 percent of them as 'duds' regarding their poor oratory in the pulpit. "But I often go out on Sunday to serve as guest preacher. "And I couldn't help but notice many older parishioners who would nod their heads and even fall asleep. "My wife has always been a strong rooter for your column, so she tactfully suggested it might make an interesting experiment if I'd follow your advice a couple of times, just to see what would happen. "Well, I sensed that she was trying to be deft in criticizing my poor oratory. "But I had to admit that I wasn't inspiring the congregation to any great degree. "So the next time I was in­ vited to fill a pulpit, I got there an hour early. "And I wandered over the church to inspect it fully. Meanwhile, I met several members of the congregation and visited with them long enough to derive some facts that I figured I could weave into my sermon. "Well, to make a long story short, I named 3 parishioners in my address that day, working them into my main theme in a relevant manner. "And every time I would mention one of the people in the audience, the congregation became more alert. Some even looked around to find the man or woman that I was men­ tioning. "In past sermons, I had focussed on my own pet project, which was archeology in the Holy Land. "For I had made two ex­ peditions there while working on my doctor's degree. "But when I candidly analyzed myself, I realized that I was especially fond of ar­ cheology because I could write my doctor's thesis thereon and acquire some fame by other published papers. "So the findings of ar­ cheology and the Dead Sea Scrolls were of personal con­ cern to me, but of not much vital interest to the average parishioner. "Thanks to my wife's prodding and your emphasis on keeping eye-contact with the audience, I began to change my outlook. "Instead of preaching what was fascinating to me, per­ sonally, I began to focus on what the congregation needed and wanted. "And the results were phenomenal. "That first Sunday, probably a dozen parishioners slapped me on the back and told me my sermon was great. "My wife beamed her ap­ proval so I knew she was happy, too. "And I must confess that I got a big lift out of realizing that I was becoming a popular preacher. "For that very word 'popular' indicates that a preacher is getting his ideas across to the people, doesn't it? "All I apparently lacked was this new point of view. "Like Christ's fishermen who labored all night without success but then got an avalanche of fish when they shifted their nets to the other side of the boat, I had been capable of a vital sermon all the time but kept shooting wide of the mark! "So I thank you and my wife. But a lot of professors are still hostile to you, for they refuse to admit their failures or try a new method."

Included in this is minor carpenter repairs; installing some shelving and woodwork removed from an old store; placing pegboard in the back of showcases; and dressing mannequins and organizing the great number erf clothing items owned by the Museum. In the recent paper drive, Mrs. Fred Ellis of Woodstock has reported that $89.05 was received for the McHenry County Historical society.

ARIES Mar. 21 - Apr. 19 TAURUS Apr. 20 • May 20 Behind the scene manipulations are working against your job, project or mission. Animosity is spreading among your routine associates. Keep your guard up. Don't let smiles fool you. Your "inner sense" for judging character is sharply honed. Don't let words or gestures mis- - lead you. It's highly probable that your "feel- '< ings" about people are correct. This cycle warns against your telling a member of the other sex, exactly what you think. Please, exercise tact and diplomacy in affairs of the heart. Poor advice is heading your way. Your chart points to half truths and misinformation. You'll have to research things yourself, in order to get the facts! Don't tamper with get rich schemes. According to your chart, any financial venture at this time could be disasterous. If you feel like speculat­ ing; wait until the urge passes. Romance and affairs of the heart are favorable for the unattached. Those under your sign "spoken for" must avoid possible overtures and clandestine meetings. A whispering campaign, against you, shows in your chart. Here's the best part, however. Things said about you, in the long haul, will be to your benefit. Strange? Whatever you hear about a member of the op posite sex, this week . . . forget it! To clarify, whether you hear bad or good - the opposite will be true, understand? Financially, this week's forecast portrays many soft spots. Emotion, rather than logic, could prevail, in monetary transactions. Obviously, you know what that means. To say the least, this cycle, is not one of your best. The word "gullible" stands out in your chart, as a lion amid a flock of sheep. Strange aspects crisscross your chart. It's not easy to explain, but your hands will be tied, so to speak, by an unusual opportunity.
