This is a high type of leadership to
be desired by every minister. but
Jesus speaks of more than a prophet
tho herald proclaiming the coming
of the King. This is the highest type
OF leadership. calling men to the
King. announcing good tidings: the
prophetic is high but higher yet is
the heraldic. the type to be desired
by minister and layman."
Worlds Dynamo
Picturing Jesus Christ as the
worlds dynamo until His death on
the Cross and then leaving to human
ity tho Church to carry on that power
full force. Pastor C. NJ. Thompson. Jr..
of the First Baptist church. said. in
delivering his sermon Sunday morn
Ing.
"Jesus Christ was the worlds dy-
namo. When he left the world He
established His Church TO take His
place as the dynamo for the world.
The church has not fulfilled this
duty. 1t must measure up to
this responsibility. Like Jesus 1t
must speak with authority as to
the way individuals shall conduct
their lives; as to the way individuals
shall relate themselves to society: as
to the way affairs national and inter
national shall be conducted. Jesus
spoke with authority and the world
listened. The note OF authority must
return to the pulpits of the church.
Jesus healed. not only the bodies
of people but their mind and souls.
He healed the broken friendships and
provided fellowship which the lonely
needed In this too the Church must
take the place of the risen Lord.
Jesus visualized his teaching. He
taught and then he lived his teach
ings. The world knows its short
comings and its failures but It wants
to see before 1t the ideal 1t would like
to be lived. This too Is the duty of
how to visualize its teachings and its
profession it will truly represent
Christ among men"
Conscience No Guide
Declaring hat ones conscience is
not a reliable dictator of moral right
of the North Casper Community
church said in part yesterday:
Christ said: IF a man love me. he
will keep my words Notice hat he
did not say IF a man love me he
ought to keep my wordzi but He will
keep my words Every one should
keep his words. but II any ono loves
Christ 10 does kepe them. Therefore
the church must struggle. first to
see people converted, then to teach
them to love Christ.
1--WE have heard that II n man fol-
lows his own conscience he will not
go far wrong. Nothing could DO more
untrue. Because cannibals can kill
and east human being without re-
morse Is not proof that cannibalism
is right Because a Mormon at one
time married several wives anG did 80
conscientiously did not prove poly
gamy vfrtuous. II a man finds HIM
self able to profane Gods name, day
or services. without remorse It proves
his conscience unreliable and he is in
need of Christianity. usually. that will
nature. which we call conversion.
But granted h protestant church
Is composed of converted people gen
type of Christianity. usually. that will
orally. we know we have not yet a
meet tho worlds need. If we but love
Christ there would be no problem of
loyalty. Almost 100 Der cent would be
on hand at each service. Did we love
Christ there would be no problem of
Inconsistency. we would not be inter
ested in doing things detrimental to
the kingdom. II we loved Christ we
could preach international peace; as
