very nature of things, the greater the cost and effort, the greater our spiritual appetite and enjoyment; the more we pay for something the more we value it. So let all who love peace and would pursue it, witnesses of Jehovah and their good-will companions, “taste and see that Jehovah is good” by leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to attend one of these assemblies and learn that here again realization can be indeed greater than anticipation.—Ps. 34:8.

Failing “Both God and Man”

In his first sermon as rector of Calvary Protestant Episcopal Church in New York city, cleric Albert Brown Buchanan declared that Christendom’s Christianity “has become respectable and largely sterile.” Calling New York “the greatest missionary area on the face of the earth,” the clergyman explained that the churches have failed, so much so that “practitioners of psychiatry are doing more to save souls than are Christian churches.” Continuing, Buchanan said: “Christianity has compromised in the attempt to gain acceptance and broad success. . . . We feel more and more overwhelmed by the sense of our own puniness, our own impotence. . . . The church has failed both God and man in New York.”—New York Times, September 14, 1959.
