Jacobs of the South Norwalk Copgregstional church for During the sermon the pastor and told his people that preaching was foolishness if the auditor' a mind was wool-gathering or focused upon something far away from the dub- iional spirit of Sunday worship. Rev. Jacobs said: "For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God. it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that be- lieve. There was then. in the Apos- tlc's mind. an element of foolish- ness in preaching. Not merely that there was foolish preaching. Every- one who ever listened to a preacher knew that. But what the apostle meant to convey was this, that all preaching was foolishness. "Others. since the sposile’s day. have discovered this fact. In our rc. ligious and in our non- -rcliglous lournals and magazines we have been reading discussions of this sub- jcct These articles deal uith such subjects as: the “Folly of Preach- lng;" "The Vanishing Preacherz" or even, "The Menace of The Sermon." Preaching is foolish. Paul knew it. The modern preacher knows it. There is no doubt that the preacher of tomorrow will know it too. The preacher is aware of the fact because he is aware of the fact that one man's food is another man's poison. No two tastes are alike. The success- ful hostess serves many articles of food. Each individual would probab- ly be delighted if the best served the individual’s favorite dish. 'ihe small boy or even the man would probably be delighted to sit down to a banquet of'pie; the little girls would be in ecstsoles with 'a banquet of ice cream. especially pink. or.red or yellow ice cream; the women would considei- it mgrent treat to sit down to a banquet of salads con- coctcd of 57 rarities from the gar- den. the field. the orchard and the grove. "if the hostess were to serve noth- ing but pic. or ice cream. or salad. a few would be pleased. the maid?» Ity disappointed and a few disgust- ed.
