The power of association is very great, we absorb that with which we associate. We place lavender satâ€" chels between sheets because the scent is absorbed by the sheets. Likewise if we will spend time with the Lord, relaxing and enjoying His presence we will find that we will receive power to become just like Him. One of the most important ways to spend time with the Lord is through the written word of God. Here we catch glimpses of His beauty here we find how comâ€" pletely He has provided for us in all things. Here we find that He wants us just as we are, not striving to be better, not shivering in the depths of despair as we glimpse the failings within our hearts, but realizing ;:hlt in all things He wishes to show Himself our Savâ€" our. ; Jane Addams, a frail little woman who did much to alleviate the suffering of the poor in Chicago endeâ€" woured at all times to live up to her favourite precept, "Always do what you are afraid to do." Very good advice, but how can we get the power to do those things that we know God wants of us but of which we are afraid? How many times have we listenâ€" ed to a sermon and come away with the feeling that it was very beautiful but how are we to translate it inâ€" to our lives? One has only to as far as the garden to find the answer. The sunflower lifts her face to the sun the whole day, slowly turning as the sun travels across the sky, absorbing the rays, enjoying the warmth, conâ€" tent to be just what God has made her, a worshipping sunflower. When Jesus called the disciples in Mark 3. 14 the word of God tells us that "he ordained twelve that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach." We will notice that first they were called to be with Him, secondly they were called to preach.

WESTMINSTER UNITED CHURCH On Sunday, 26th May, Dr. James S. Mackenzie preached on "The Power of the Word of God," and began by pointing out that this was the special emphasis of Professor Karl Barth, who has just recently paid his first visit to the United States. Professor Barth â€" has beenâ€" regarded as the greatest Protestant _ theologian _ since John Calvin and has been a dominating influence in theoloâ€" gical circles since he publishes his epochâ€"making commentary on ‘The Epistle to the Romans‘ some thirty years ago. Dr Mac kenzie attended Professor Barâ€" th‘s lectures in the University of Basel, Switzerland just before the second World War. Profesâ€" sor Barth is a Swiss, and was teaching in Bonn, when the Nazis came to power. When he refused to swear allegiance to the Nazi regime, he had to flee to his native land. In opposition to liberal theoâ€" logy, Professor Barth recapturâ€" ed the conviction of the wholly otherness of God, that when God speaks, in this moment of crisis, this ‘existential moment‘, man can only listen and adore and obey. Theology is not a matter of philosophical debate or ‘armâ€"chair discussion‘: it is the confrontation of man by the living God.

This examination consisted of enquiry into their doctrinal exâ€" pression of the Bible as sumâ€" marized in the credal standards of the Christian _ Reformed Church not only, but also as to their personal convictions about faith and practice. These young people unless there are lawful objections from any of the congregation, will make public profession before the congregation at the evening serâ€" vice of Pentecost Sunday, June 10.
