THE PASTOR'S PEN
by Rev. Fred Cobbs, pastor,
Butler Church of the Nazarene
This ground is not quicksand.
Go and and wiggle your toes
and twist your feet, jump up
and down if you like and put
your whole weight on this
ground; for
ground; for this is Faith.
“The substance of things
hoped for”. . .“the evidence
of things not seen”. . .the
framer of the worlds, the chan
nel of justification, the climax
of sanctification, the roadway
of the pilgrim and the bedrock
foundation of prayer. Stand up,
people, stand up; faith is the
victory over sin.
By faith Moses forsook Egypt,
Rahab perished not, David slew
Goliath, Samuel faced Saul. By
faith Abel presented a bleeding
sacrifice, Enoch disappeared
into the skies, Noah hammered
until the ark as wuilt, and Abra
ham sought a city not made
with hands.
These men stand taller tham
These men stand taller than
the high rise buildings; they
form a cluster of stars larger
than the Milky-Way . Some may
have lost their heads, but none
ever lost their faith. You can
see them standing with hands
raised toGod in prayer, beckon
ing the followers of the Naza
rene to march onward and up
ward. To be able to stand
among these hero’s of faith,
who’s hearts were on fire, is
our great privilege.
It does seem that evil men
will triumph, but they will not.
Modernistic and materialistic
clouds seem to fill the sky,
but not forever. Politicians
are playing games, but one day
the whistle will blow and end
it all for good. This will be the
day that all will be surprised
when they see the men of faith,
so long overlooked, marching
with their banners high to the
eternal City of God. Don’t be
ashambed of your faith. Stand
up and be counted.

and nine formal hardtops in three different sizes! Deal

formal or fastback styling, XL is the classic, full-size fastback
that gives you a choice of bench or bucket seats. And there’s
no extra cost for Ford’s fastback styling! LTD, available in 2-
and 4-door models, is XL’s formal hardtop counterpart. All
feature disappearing headlamps and strong die-cast grille at
no extra cost. You’ll Find a full-size choice in Galaxie 500 fast-
backs and hardtops, too!
Or discover the brand-new Torino and the modestly priced
Fairlane. They're the only intermediate-size hardtops that let
you choose between formal or true fastback styling (at no extra
cost)! Both seat six adults in total comfort. Both give you a full
116-in. wheelbase (longer than 38 competing models).
For 1968, Mustang gives you a choice of the best-selling hardtop
in the world or the best known fastback of all. Only Mustang

cost: bucket seats, Foor-mounted
stick shift, wall-to-wall carpeting
