Early 20th Century Australian Evangelist Honored for His One-Word Graffiti (Teresa Neumann, www.breakingchristiannews.com)

"The message 'Eternity' was spread to billions of people during the millennium festivals of 2000 as the word was written in fireworks above the Harbour Bridge."

(Australia)—The Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) has been publishing a series of tributes to influential Australian Christians, living or deceased. The following excerpts are from No. 7 in that series, featuring Arthur Stace, who passed away in 1967 at the age of 83.

Stace was reportedly born in a Balmain slum in 1884 to a family of alcoholics. "By his 20's he was in and out of prison for housebreaking and other offenses and had developed a heavy drinking habit. Left half-blind after a gas attack in WWI, he slipped further into poverty and such extreme alcoholism that he was in danger of becoming a permanent inmate of the mental asylum. No matter what he tried, he couldn't give up the drink. In 1930, hungry, hopeless and desperate, he stumbled into St. Barnabas' Church on Broadway where he had heard there was free food available to those who listened to the preaching. Struck by the Christians he met there, Stace got down on his knees and prayed. He gave up the drink and began to work."

Months later, the report notes, Stace heard a preacher at church shout, "I wish I could shout eternity through the streets of Sydney. Eternity, eternity, eternity." So powerfully struck by that phrase, from that point on, he felt "a great call from the Lord to write the word 'Eternity.'"

"The funny thing is I could hardly spell my own name," he said. "I had no schooling and couldn't have spelt 'Eternity" for a hundred quid. But it came out smoothly in beautiful copperplate script. I couldn't understand it. I still can't."

Notes the report: "For thirty-seven years, Arthur Stace wandered the streets of Sydney before dawn, chalking an anonymous one-word sermon on the pavement [and walls and footpaths throughout the city]. The word was 'Eternity' and he wrote it more than half a million times. It intrigued Sydneysiders who pondered its meaning whilst trying to identify its mysterious author."

He was "out-ed" in 1956, when a churchman identified him.

According to the report, ten years after his death, a plaque was dedicated to him in Sydney. The message 'Eternity' was spread to billions of people during the millennium festivals of 2000 as the word was written in fireworks above the Harbour Bridge."

Multiplication In Our Generation Part Two
Once we are mature as Christians and able to reproduce spiritually, the Father is looking for the fruit that He expects us to present to Him. Pursuit of our own spiritual growth at the expense of evangelism brings glory only to us, when much fruit of souls brings glory to the Father, and all our prayers are answered!

 

Passing the Baton

 Half of the world's 6.5 billion inhabitants are under 20 years old.... A global youth culture is forming, and Christians must learn to adjust to it. Some are already claiming that the church must be completely re-invented. The newly-forming youth culture depends less on scientific and rational thought and tends more toward seeking to experience spiritual things personally. Those seeking spiritual experiences will be disappointed by a church offering only information about God.
