RESTORATIONNOW
I
am
convinced that the

movement
is
just
starting in
Jamai c a ,
With
reinforcements, Jamaica can be
c o v e r e d with
t h e gospel.
The
work is
hard,
s om e time s
disco uraging, challe ng
ing,
and p o t e n t i a l l y re warding. This is
no p lace f o r

d e n o m i n a t i o n a l i s t s
wer e
trying their best to k e e p t h e
p e o p l e
from
hearing
t h e
non-sectarian
gospel . To de
f e at
their
purpose,
I decided
to
use

f i o n e e r
d e v i c e
o f
t h e
p u b l i c
d i s c u s s i o n .
wrot e
to Mr.
lugee,
he Anderson,
nd.
Church o f God
preacher and asked him
f o r
a ublic
discussion.
He
latly
refused.
Next
I
ried
t h e
S e v enth
Day dventists
and
was pleasantly
surprised
when
Mr.
Comm,
heir missionary, accepted.
(La
t e r I
earned he
knew
ractically
nothing
about t h e
Church o f Christ). He aid he
did
not
want
a ebate,
but only
a
r e s en
tation o f
views.
We gr e e d
upon
ne hour
apie ce divided into two
sections.
THE
BIG
NIGHT
Ab ou t
300 peopl e
crowded into the t o w n
hall
on the appointed
night.
The SDAs
were jubilant and c ocky, ex pec ting an
e a s y victory.
I
p o k e first, giving
t w e n t y
r e a s on s
f o r bein^ a
member
o f t he
C hu r c h
o f
Christ.
Mr.
Comm ga v e t he
usual
r e a s on s f o r being a
.'D.A. Then
I
used
f o r t y
minutes
to give twenty-e ight
reasons
why
I was
not
a . D . A . As act
and
scripture
toppled the S .D .A. fabri
cation, t h e SDAs became no i s y and
angry .
Mr. Comm was
o u p s e t
that
he
rambled
and fumbled
o v e r
his
assigned
topic,"Why I
am
o t a
member
f t he
Church. of—Chris t".
Principally,-he.
a t
t e m p t e d to r e fute t h e

a d
given.
It was o pathetic that when I
asked for
a copy
o f his
t a p e
recording, he aid he
didn't want t o be quote d. Since he was
quite
unhappy o v e r t h e o u t c om e , I of
fered him
four nights
o f
real debating,
but he declined.
VERDICT
The ommunity's verdict was hat t he
S . D . A . cause
was eriously
wounded.
The
Church
was
happy
and
g r e a t l y
s t r e n g
thened. The r e l i g i o u s community had a
new knowledge and

From then

make s entirely i n your hands.
Truly, the Lord has blessed us e v e r y
s t e p

p r a c t i c e . " This p r i n c i p l e i s
true and
fundamental to
a l l right practice
o f
Christianity.
The
Scriptures are clear
as t o HOW he

evangel
i z e d .
ONEAND MANY
First, ou r Lo rd Christ established i t
a s
a n
individual r e s p o n s i b i l i t y (Mt. 8:18f;
A c t s 1:8;
8:4).
This individual burden
f o r
souls
is
never
lifted from the C h r i s
t i a n ' s
heart u n t i l the day
o f his death
or ascension with
Christ.
Second, the
H o l y S p i r i t
e s t a b l i s h e s a
congregational
r e s p o n s i b i l i t y (Ac. 13:1-4; 14:26-28) in
t h e se nding out
of
qualifi^ e v a n g e l i s t s .
There i s no teaching by
p r e c e p t ,
e x a m
p l e or i n f e r e n c e i n t h e N.T.
for
any
o r
ganization f o r evangelism besides the l o
c al
Church. If
God
foresaw no
n e c e s
s i t y for an extra-congregational
organ
i z a t i o n to
e f f e c t i v e l y
evangelize the
world,
what
can
we gain
by e s t a b l i s h i n g
such? The N.T.
f o r c i b l y
impresses
us
with the
fact
that
e v e ry Christian i s a
"missionary"
and
every
congregation
was n i t s entirety
a "missionary
s o c i
e t y" .
So be it
FATAL
SUBSTITUTE
Men
with worldly wisdom
often find
fault
with
God's "simple" method and
p r o p o s e
"improvements'. Th e objections
^hey raise a r e not
inherent
wealmesses
i » f God's plan, but only d e f i c i e n c i e s o f
functioning on th e p a r t o f f a l l i b l e

s e t up and
functioning, the Church of Christ pr e
sents
a
holy,
simple,
and

f o r
evangelism. But
the substitutes
( s o c i e t i e s , f e l l o w s h i p s , e t c . ) have num
erous h i s t o r i c a l and
l o g i c a l weaknesses
which are congenital and incurable.

evening
t h a t
t h e f o l l o w i n g week
he
would
be
invested
a s
a
Cub. This meant he
needed a uniform by then. Since they
can
not
be purchased ready
made,
Mark
and his mother
drove t o
Scout Head
quarte rs the
nex t morning to purchase
navy
blue mate rial s
f o r
s h i r t

trous

besides a l l the
other
paraphernalia
-
cap, woggle,
b e l t ,
knee-socks, and gart
e r s
with f anc y
gr e en tabs.
A
Christian
woman made his
shirt,
but she had never-
t a i l o r e d pants.
Therefore,
Mark's mother-
decided t o
make
them h e r s e l f s o
they
would
be r eady
on time. It
was
t he
f i r s t
pair
of pants she had
made ,
s o i t
was quite a n
experience
f o r her,
but
Mark was delighted with them.
INVESTED

Then
the

w e r e
gracious hosts as
they
seiwed ice-cream and cake

The next day Mark
begged

We
