1 felt so g uilty abou t thi s horrible tl'111-

1 f owever, thi s Bible worked. T k<:pt reading iI, and its teaching would con­front l11e at every turn in life. After J would iin ish playing at eleven o'clock at night. I would corne home and read the Hi bl;· again. ;'\1)' ~ood stepmother, the darlmg, always waIted up to give me a little something to cat when I came home.

I was so distressed hecause I knew God intended us to be like Himself, whereas 1 felt I wa s just the opposite; but the J .onl was very gracious with me, lIe let me ha\'e an orchestra leader who was very jealous, Why he was jealolls of me I did not know, for I was jll!'t a young chap, but he tried in e"ery way he cou ld to cause me to make mistakes, This old na­ture would rise up in me, and then r would remember, "Oh, what does the Bible say?"

Hut in Jesus' high­pri c.'l ily prayer (recorded in the 17th chapter of J ohl1) we find these words : ,,[ haw glorified Thee on th e ear th: r have fini "hed Ih(: work wh ich Thou ga\'cst i\le to do." T his shows liS that Jcsu!:t' !:tll­I,rellle oh ject ive in life was to glorify Il i~ Father which was i1l heavcn .

The apo~lle Paul. writing to the Philip­pians, said that he had a desire that Christ might he magnifi ed in hi s bod~ , whether through tife o r through death . It did not lI'aller to him whether he would Iivc or die, So oft ell wc say, "Oh, l want to live ; / want to hc hea led so I \\"ill live." Well. wh)' do you want to li ve ?

I heard a story of the Southern prcach+ (' I', Sa m Jont's, who was called to pray for a man who had occasionally been to his church, A!', he entcred Ihe room where this man was lying, S am J one l> I>aid. " \Vhat do yOtl want ?" "Oh," he sa id, "I want to get welt; T want to live." J ones sa id, "\Vhat do you wallt to live for? YOn have IlCI'Cr COlltriiJuted anything to t l1<' ,.;alvat ion of a soul.

[n our Scr ipt ure reading, we rcad the.'.e words of Peter : ., [ f any man l11inis+ Ie I', let him do it as of the ability which Cod giveth : that God in all things may be glorified.

cmcred the hospital on :-.ro\t"mher 8. 1947. and fronl then I)('came .Ieadily worse. The docto r then told my fo]h that I didn'l have a chance to livc.

Then on~ ~\"enin~ th~ doctor ca lied illY folks and told th~1ll that they had diag!lo~ed my case and had found that I had Malignant Tumor (which is cancer).

For several months before ! went to the hospital, I was always chill;> and cold. Even in the hottcst part of the summcr I shook all of the lime as though I had Pal sy.

People al1 ovcr the United States were praying for me. Sevcral anointed handkerchiefs were sent. My folk, my husband. and countless Christians el·crywhere were be­lieving God to hea! me.

\V hcn the Lord begins to work you notice a difference. After a few ([a}'s ill the hO~pil ,,1 when the Lord began 10 work. thc docton noticed my skin begir111ing to clear lip here and there. so they began to take courage amI start­ed to X-ray my skin. although a few days be­fore they said tlley could not do any tiling" for mC". They like to take the credit for it; hut although thcy werc very faith ful. yet we know it was jeslls that made me whole.

1fy skin is a!1 well now. and a large turll')f that was on one of my legs II"Cllt away. The doctor had told my mother after I began to get better, tllat if I lived a year he would thell sec what COllie! be done about taking the tumor off. But the doctor didn·t have to worry about it. because the Lord took care of that as well as the rest.

I still marvel at the fa cl that I am we[!. I can now dress and wear shocs as anyone clsc. My hair is coming in thick now and I jnst give all the g lory to j esus.

I have a healthy baby boy a year o ld. hadn't been able to take care of him, bill now I have him \\"ilh me al1 of the time. My hus­b?nd has a c,'!!l to the ministry, and it is our prayer and ambition to work for our Lord who has done so mtlCh for us. P raise His name forevcr!

It is 1110ving to Hong Kong. A place for it has been found on the island of Ch'eung Choll. The buildings forllltrly were used for an inn. \Vith some remodeling ther will accommodate both 'he students and the facuity. Quitt a number of the young ])Copl!': will graduate this year, ;111t! be ready to join Ihe large group of national workers already preachinK dll: full gos()el in South China.

\Vhile it is true that foreign missionaries are finding it increasingly difficult to minis ter ill China, it is quite possible tha t earnest, consecrated, weH-trained Chinese will be ahle to cont inue the williess. Pray for this fine school.

"II.I.EGAL PROPACANDA" At the castern gate to Herlin one day during

August, Russian border guards stopped a truck­load of Bibles from entering. The reason givell was that Ihey were "illegal propaganda."

"HOLY ANI) REVERFND IS IllS (GOD"S) NA~f E." Psalm III :9.

M;ni~ t e rs of a Michigan city have voted to dispense with tlr( lille "Reverend" in dircrl addrC5s and in referring to one another j)tlblic­Iy. "This is a stell in the right direction," says Tilt Missionary W orker.

ISRAEL'S EXPORTS AND nlPORTS For the first quarter of 1949, imports into

Israel amounted to 15,500,000 pounds, while ex­ports came to 5,050,000 l}Qun(/s. The United Stales led the li st of nations selling its I)r(}~ ducts to Israel, accounting for 23% of the im­I)Orts. The chief customer for Isracl's eX I}Qrts was Dritain.

IMMIGRATION IN ISRAEL From a peak of 1,000 a day, immigration in

Isracl has dt'Creased IIntil the figure is only half as large. During tbe past three months the rate has dropped to 16,000 a month. Om: reason for the drop is that potential im­migrilnt s have been dete rred by reports of un· bvorilble conditiOns in Israel, said Yeshoshua Shye, director general of Ihe Mini stry of 1m· migration.

FINANCES IN ISRAEL

The new nation of Israel is one of the few nalions in Ihe world Ihat can balance their budget. In its first Imbli,lIcd statement of the finances of the state of Israel frortl its establish­nl<:nt on May 14. 1948 to March 31. 1949. the Finance Ministry revealed that for its first ten alld one_half Illonths the Israeli Govern­ment had a revenue which was 1.355,000 pounds ($4.065.000) aoo\'e its expenditures.

THE BIBLE IN NAVAJO LANGUAGE According to The l :vOllflc/i((li C/iris/iml, the

work of translating the Bihle into the language of the Navajo Indians is still going on. William Goudhart and a hundred determined Indians have labored at the job. off and a ll. for the past eight~en years. },.j r. Goudhart reads a verse to the Indians, in idiomatic Navajo: the Indians then tell him how the)' would say it to their people to make them understand: the words are then put on paper, and mimeo· graphed copies are distributed, which the Indians return with comments and corrections.

It is a difficult task, due to the fact that th~ Navajo language has never been put into writ­ing before.

BARRED FROM THE WMLJ!\G WALL Despite repeated promises by Uniled Nations

personnel tha t the Arabs in control of the Old City of Jerusalem would make arrangelJ1ents for Jews to be admitted to the Holy Places there, not a single Jew was permitted to visit the \Vailing Wall on the eve of Tis!.a B',)\'. In pre-war years thousands of Jews from all over the country £locked to the \Vaiiing \Vall to rC(:i te the Lamentations, marking the de­struction of the ancient Temple.

The Jews once gloried in tlleir beautiful Temple-but Christ warned ( in lIlanllew 2.J :2) that it wOllld be destToyoo. The bleak ,'emains of the once-proud wall should serve as a grim reminder that as surely as this part of ;"'Iatthew 24 has been fulfilled. so every part of that great chapter on the Second Coming shall shortly com~ to pass.

!\OAII'S t\UK XOT YET FOUND After 1\\(:lve days of fruitless searching 011

'\fount Ararat, the expedition headed by Aaron J. Smith gave up its hunt for the remains of Noah's Ark. But Dr. Smith said he still be· lieves the Ark is hidden somewhere on Ararat's slopes.

CO.NSCIENTIOtJS ORJECTORS After a number of conscientious objectors who

violated the peacetime draft act have been im­prisoned, the new government directil'e (frolll the Department of Justice) is that only the most flagrant violators sball be prosecuted. Unitoo States district attorneys are asked to regis ter for those who refuse to register for themselves. In this way the go\'ernment will avoid prosecuting sincere religious objectors.

GIVE-AWAY RADIO PR OG RAMS According to BlllbO(lrd. the radio networks In

1948 ga;-e away $4,297.557 0 11 5.J give-away pro~ grams. This is "a most conserva tive estimate ba sed on real rather than quoted values."

It sounds like a lot of money. but actually it is less than three cents for every man. woman and ch ild in America. What a trifling prize for Ihe average radio listener I And yet the tempta­tion to think that S0111e lime, somehow, the jackpot of prizes may chance to come their way has kqn millions of Americans glued to their radios. hour after hour. and has caused thousands of hearts to tingle \\'ilh covetousness! "\VIlat fools these mOrtals be!"

A CHRISTlA~ ATHLETE Gil Dodds, America's No.1 Christian athlete,

witnessed to great crowds in Europe this Slim­mer. Fi,·e thousand sport fans saw him run an exhibition race in Stockholm, and then Slood for a half hour as the holder of the world record in the indoor mile gave his per­sonal tes timony for Christ. 1n Jonkoping. 4,500 people gathered in four meetings in five hours.

An exhibition mile was rUIl along the Riviera water front in France. Dodds also went into Cermilny. to speak to ocelillation troops as well as Youth for Christ rallies. He met with an enthusiastic reception everywhere, and had the joy of seeing a good number wall to Christ in the meetings.

OKLAHO!lIA STAYS "DRY" The ddeat of the proposal to repeal pro­

hibition ill Oklahoma by a state-wide election last month was an answer to the prayers, faith and work of the Christians of all denominations.

Smiling Dob Kerr, Oklahoma's junior senator in Ihe U. S. Congress, helped fight repeal by denouncing the effects of alcohol on the natiol1. Senator Kerr, a personal abstainer, in an article published by a national Methodist magazine. said:

" Based Upoll my observation and knowledge of tile Illany evils of liquor to human beings, I have bCCll against it all my life and will oppose it as long as ! live." The ' legislator estimated tllat th~re are 6.000,000 excessive drinkers :n the nation and that 750.000 of them afe <!lcollOlics. lie said, "One out of every 50 persons \\'bo start drinking. winds up an alcoholic."

He said that since national prohibition was repealed, "Saloons have multiplied until there arc now 407,000 in the United States, while package stores a lone out-number churches and schools. There arc actually more barmaids than college girls."

WHEN GOD'S LOVE CAME IN (ColltiIIUl,(\ from page 3)

morning I heard about a group of German­speaking Pentecostal people .... ho believed in praying for Ihe sick. That very afternoon, at two o'dock, I was in that church. It was a diial)idate<i place, but the sweet presence of God was there. for these people had been fas ting all day and praying that God would ~aH: somebody, that li e would heal somebody.

I sat on an old bench in the back and walch­ed as the pOO(l1e stayed 011 Iheir knees Vray­ing and crying 10 God. I had ne\'er seen pco­pic I}ray in that fashio n befon~. I said to my­self. "If I had gotten down 011 Ill)' knees and prayed like that. perhaps I would 1\3\'e been healed long ago."

\Vhen the preacher got U(l to speak, he watch­ed me "cry closely. I had a roll of Illusic tunler my arm, and maybe he riloughl I was a Sl»), wilh something frO ln CilY Hall under my arm- lor the first \Vorld \Var was on then and Ihe German churches were censored in thcir preachillg. So this dear preachcr was ,'cry careful about what he said.

"alrist was made a curse for you," he said. "That curse that is upon yOl1, God wilJ li ft if yOIl will believe on Christ. Accept H im today and this curse will go."

October 29, 1949

I thought, "If anylxxil e~'er was cuned, I am." I was 5uifeTlllg beneath (/IC~ curse, and this mall .... as Jaling that ii t would belie\e oil the Lord Jesus 01rist and trust Him, He would deliver me from this curse. It ",as the first time in my life I evcr heard that Chri~t was made a cur~e for me.

The Ilreachcr said, "Jesus Christ suifered 011 the cro~$ for yOIl. He took all your sins and all your disea~es. and J Ie paid the full (lrice so thaI you might go free." Friends, I ne\'er knew before .... hy Christ died. I used to go around the stations of Ihe cross with the old Catholic .... omen el'ery Saturday afternoon. I could sing. so I w{luld go around I ho~e ~t:l­lions in th(' church wilh the old WOln('n, and we would bury Chri~t and that was the end.
