they should say, for the Spirit would speak within them. Just take the Lord at His Word, and tru st Him to fulfill what He has promised. Hasn’t He told us, “Him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out.” As we think of our speech, it is well to cultivate a large vocabulary to use. But le t us make sure we know the words which are found in the Scrip tures, the words the Lord uses. In this way, you will be better able to unfold the beauties of the Word of God to others. Don’t be vague and vascilat- ing, but right to the point. You remember the prophet said, “Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart” (Jeremiah 15:16). I love that. Do we feast on the truths of God? “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” Think of our Lord’s wonderful words of comfort. How people all about us need the blessing you can be to them as your life is filled by the Holy Spirit. Did you know that we have three blessed Comforters? We have the Father, Who is the God of all com fort; the Lord Jesus, Who came to comfort those who mourn; and the Holy Spirit, Who was sent to comfort us in all our tribulations and sor rows. Let us learn to love the Word of God, and to use the right words of God. Memorize them; read them over and over again until they are a part of your very life. Saturate your soul with His truths. Then you can say with Job, “How forcible are right words.” B IO LA HOUR RAD IO LOG (Continued from inside front cover) Newton, Kansas KJRG 950 Phoenix, Arizona KHEP 1280 Providence, Rhode Island WRIB 1220 Pueblo-Colorado Springs KFEL 970 Springfield, Ohio WEEC 100.7 (FM) Tuseon, Arizona KAIR 1490 KAIR 1490 Windermere, Florida WXIV 1480 Inchon, Korea HLKX 1060 9:00 A.M.

all of these false religions, they seek to glorify man while actually degrad ing God. Each of them has something good to say about man and what he can do. But the Bible lets us see our real picture. We are just a mass of sin from head to foot. Even the very best we have is nothing more than filthy rags. Man cannot improve upon God’s realistic pronouncement, “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Everybody believes something, even though it may be fa r from the truth. The average “man in the street” doesn’t like to be reminded that he is a sinner, needing salvation. I was saved way back on December 20, 1896. That is a long time ago! But I believed the Word of God when it tells us that our lovely Saviour was wounded for our transgressions, that He bore our sins in His own body on the tree, and in this manner that God made Him to be sin for us Who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. What a wonderful peace flooded my soul. This was such a blessed revelation to me. I was not interested in men’s words. I said, “Thank you, Lord! I don’t care what men say, You said You put Jesus to grief for me and laid my sins and my iniquities on Him. I believe just what You say!” Our blessed Saviour has told us, “He that heareth my word, and believ- eth on him that sent me, hath ever lasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24). Isn’t that wonderful, beloved? His words are so clear and so plain. Most of them are monosyllables that a small child could readily grasp. This is why we should store God’s Word in our hearts and lives. There is something very practical for every circumstance which we might face. Our problem can sometimes be learning to say the right thing at the right time and in the right place. Jesus instructed His disciples that should they be brought before kings for His sake, they were not to take any thought about what
