Dr. KnnbA Speaks
DR.. F. Fl. Knubel. president OF the
United Lutheran church 81 America.
gave a very interesting address at the
meeting held last evening. He said
in part:
"jesus' message, I have come that
We might have life and have it more
abundantly' has behind it the funda-
mental Inference that It satiaaes the
whole needs Of man. We must think.
Of man in m single word. capacity.
w must recognize that man has
the capacity for God. There is every
idea OF mans real greatness. our mes.
sage to man is Jesus. We don't know
God and we don't know the Holy
Spirit. We only know Jesus and offer
Him to the world.
Man has also the capacity for fell
lowship. You who nave known one
or two wonderful loves know the social
capacity that has been given to man.
what is the message of the church
that we have to preach to this capa.
city of mar for fellowship 1t is the
bond OF trust. Trust is the founda-
ton of love.
What is it that the nations need
IN their relationship but faith Faith
holds us to our God. Man possesses
also the capacity to think. Have we
tried to measure the wonders of
thought? We have the power of
memory. the power of Imagination.
power OF hope and what is the
message that the church has to
preach to this capacity Of man to
think? 1t is truth. Lastly, man has
the capacity for work. He isn't a mai
unless he works. Love Is the keen
edge Of the tool that man handles
makes his work efficient. God
meant men to carry on their work as
a means of intercourse between men
and IN their intercourse must be love.
You cannot touch the need Of love
without love. All need Is lonely. All
need possesses bitterness and you can
not cure these without love. You
cannot reform the world by. Law, but
by love. Lot us see the wonders Of
our fellowmen and tell them of the
wonder Of their God"
