THAT YOUNG PREACHER IN THAT OLD
BUILDING...
Full of Vim, Vigor, and Vitality. Chuck was just one year old since his conversion to
Christ and his decision to follow after Him. Those who knew Chuck were as strick-
en with Ins zeal, as they were impressed w ith his doctrine. But, in spite of Ins some-
what unorthodox ways, the group of people w ho spent time listening to him preach
grew to the point where getting a building for a meeting house became the first order
of business. Two major obstacles stood in the w ay. Not enough money nor a suitable
vacant building. But. our young preacher friend was undaunted. 11c gathered up what
money he could and leased an old, dilapidated, vacated iron foundry and set out to
turn it into a tabernacle for the 1 .ord. The building was rusty, smelly, and echoing, but,
the young reverend proceeded to prepare the grounds for their first ever Evangelistic
Meeting, which was to be held on, of all days. Easter Sunday. All labor was done.
Chuck had even written a special resurrection song to give to the people, it any came.
Would people come? It's one thing to enjoy the preaching of someone set on the tires
of heaven, and immersed in the power of God in a respectable place, but. it is alto-
gether a different story to expect some people to follow them into an abandoned
foundry. And, would they like the song? Would they sing it robustly, w ith fervor and
enthusiasm? Well, as the say ing goes, the proof of the pudding is in the tasting. A
large crowd gathered to hear the new preacher and they sang that song w ith the rafter
lifting glory he had hoped. We can't always judge spiritual content by architectural
standards nor evangelistic effectiveness by age and experience, for you see. the
preacher was none other than Charles Wesley on the occasion of Ins first meeting in
1739 and the song was; “ Christ The I .ord Is Risen Today-’ Al I e I u la"!
