A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. (Proverbs 25:11) - King Solomon. If King Solomon is right (and he is), then he and Dr. Barnhouse share honors as spiritual horticulturists and as artists; their deep thoughts and fitly spoken phrases are the kind that shake complacent congregations and move them into thinking action. Here are ideas and illustrations that can ease the pastor's communication with his people. Dr. Barnhouse was for 33 years the famous pastor of Philadelphia's Tenth Presbyterian Church, and weekly radio pastor over hundreds of stations on the Bible Study Hour. He was also publisher and editor of Eternity magazine.
