Christian Must Be
Persistent Salesman
BY REV. CHARLES GOE
Pastor Ash St. Bapt. Church
A year and several months
ago, I signed a card and drop
ped it into a box indicating
an interest in a certain pro
duct. I had not planned to pur
chase the product but was just
interested in some information.
Shortly after this I received
a letter telling about the pro
duct and inviting me to the
office to talk about IL The
offer was very attractive but
I didn’t respond.
Several months later another
letter came telling me about
the product This was a bit
different but it presented an
other get-acquainted program.
On several other occasions
now I have received material
from this company informing
me of my need to talk with
them. Their offer seems at
tractive and it causes me to
think about it each time.
The company spends thousands
of dollars telling the public
about their product and what it
can do for the individual.

There is a parallel in our
relationship to God. God has
made many attempts to reach
men. He used the Law--the
Prophets and personal contacts.
His greatest effort was when
He sent Jesus Christ his son.
Every church attempts to say
to the people of our commun
ity week after week, “God wants
you”. The full programs of the
churches are attempts to reach
individuals who have not re
sponded to the invitation of
Christ.
There needs to be a persis
tent program on the part of
every Christian to share the
gospel of Christ with the whole
world. Each of us must keep
saying to those who ignore the
message, “We want you to ac
cept our Christ”
When every Christian becomes
a missionary and a messenger
of the good news, then the joy
of the Christian experience can
be known by people around the
world.

THE FOREST P ARK NEWS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 30,1964
Forest Parkette TV
Star, Wins $3,000
Mrs. Hoyt D. (Nancy) Davis
of 129 Boling Drive thrilled
Forest Park listeners last
Thursday as she became the
champion on “The Price Is
Right” program in the ABC
Studios, New York. Each felt a
little tinge of civic pride as
the attractive housewife com
peted for top honors, and won
the first seat for Friday’s com
petition.
The Davis possessions in
creased by S3OOO by her wealth
of knowledge in Thursday’s per
formance. Friday’s yield was
a collection of clocks. One of
which is a space clock that
tells time li..e “Heinz 57 Var
ieties” in 19 different ways.
Her pet Labrador was not for
gotten, she won a Cocker Span
iel as a playmate for it.
“How does one qualify?” we
asked Mrs. Davis. She replied,
“The contestants are invited to
participate right out of the sudi
ence.” Eighty responded to the
invitation and by process of
elimination, voice, personality,
intellect, etc. our fair native
won! Another contributing fac
tor is that Goodson-Todman,
non-partisah nation-wide, se
lected two southerners, Mrs.
Davis and another lady from
Memphis.
“What inspired you to enter?”
Mrs. Davis replied that she and
her husband had twice previ
ously sat in the audience and
this time was the charm. They
decided that either she or her
husband would tackle it. Inas
much as a gentleman was al
ready on the panel, and the
panel consists of one man only
among three women, fate or
dained that the Mrs. in the fam
ily was the representative.
Mrs. Hoyt said “The program
has always been a favorite pro
gram of guiz or giveaways,be
cause of the Goodson-Todman
high standard of production.
The contestants have to sign an
FCC affidavit to the effect that
they have received no instruc
tions, and two hours before the
show, they are kept behind lock
and key near the studio to make
sure no information is garner
ed from any quarter.
The attractive Forest Parkette
has done her duty as a publicity
agent for her city and we hear
that the Chamber of Commerce
in ready to offer a madal for her
meritorious distinction won for
herself and her community! Not
to mention her “flying high”
