PASTORS PIN
by Fred J. Cobbs, Pastor, Butler Church of the Nazarene
Last Friday evening while preparing the church for revival,
I saw the many people coming to the school to attend the Halloween
Party. As the evening passed, many people had come and gone
but the church parking lot was packed just as the school lot was.
People had begun to park along the streets a block away. I was
told the event was the biggest of the year.
Yes it does seem that people are more concerned about playing
bingo, fishing for prizes, and having cake walks, than they
are in having Revival. I would not be afraid to say that most of
the people who attended this Halloween event were members of
some church, yet how many of them were in Sunday School and
Church the following Sunday?
Maybe we should realize that it is not the parent’s fault, but that
the children run the homes. It would have been too much for a
child to miss the Halloween party and they would never forgive
the parents. Does it ever concernyouthat your child never thinks
about his soul? Yes, if they are smart enough to know what to do
on Halloween, then they should know that there is more to life than
just a pretend religion, or just a Sunday School religion, or a
childhood religion.
But can we really blame the child? Dear parent, the blame
must fall on you. Oh! What about the ones who tell their children
that when they are older, they don’t need the church. You do this
by taking your children tochurch and going home yourself to watch
T. V. or read the Sunday paper.
I know what you are saying, “That is only your opinion, and that
is just the way you see it.” Maybe it is just my way of seeing the
situation, but does not God see it this way also? Does not God
call men to speak out against the wrong in the community any
more?
The Church of the Nazarene is praying for those who will die
and go to hell. Church member or not, if you are more concerned
with the pleasures the world has to offer, than the joy and peace
of having your sins forgiven, you will surely spend eternity
in everlasting fire.

It has come to our atten
tion that a news story turned
in recently was not published.
We are sorry that this happens
occasionally. However in the
process of getting the story
typed as copy, then set into
columns for publication, cut
into pieces that will fit into
the space available and fin
ally pasted up, some of the
items may truly be lost.
When the leaves turn,
turn to electric heat
Leaves splashed with crimson and orange are
fair warning that foul weather is on the way.
They’re also a signal to check your old heat
ing system. Maybe this is the time to switch
to flameless electric heat. It’s the most modern
system you can buy. And it’s the cleanest heat
in the world.
Take your choice. A central electric furnace.
Invisible ceiling cable. Baseboard units. Per
haps wall panel heaters. Or, for year-round
climate control, the electric heat pump.
All systems provide even, constant heat. Re
liably. Conveniently. Economically.
Make a change for the best. In just a day or
so you can enjoy clean, quiet, comfortable elec
tric heat in your home. And leave winter where
it belongs. Out in the cold.
Check with your certified electric heating dealer
for the type of electric heat best for your home.
