Mr. Johnston declared that
there is something drastically
wrong with the church today.
The message of the church is
needed everywhere, and it is the
people of the church who should
take it there, he maintained.
"The task of the church is to
have people live better lives, to
draw men unto Christ," he stat-
ed. "The way is to live con-
verted lives." Prayer should be
automatic as breathing. A Chris-
tain must pray constantly. Pray-
er keeps one in tune with
Christ. We must have faith in
order to live the Christian life.
"It is your task and mine to
keep God alive in the world to-
day," he concluded.
