Radio Nuggets (continued) time to awake out of sleep: for now tory. You way be on the right team, 25 OUT salvation nearer than when we my friend, but make sure that you’re believed. The night is far spent, the not a “pull back.” Jesus said, “Whoso- day is at hand: let us therefore cast ever therefore shall confess me before °ff t^le works of darkness, and let us men, him w ill / confess also before Put on the armour of light.” my Father which is in heaven. But * * *
whosoever shall deny me before men, him w ill 1 also deny before my Father which is in heaven” (Matt. 10:52, 55). * * * Keep your eyes on Christ, for no matter how high a man may rise, he must always have someone to look up to. * THE MEANING OF DREAMS Have you ever had a dream where you envisioned yourself persued by someone? Nocturnally you had run un til, exhausted, your legs would carry you no further. Missionaries from Brazil report that the Indians there believe a person’s soul really leaves his body during the night, and actual ly performs everything that he dreams. Peculiar superstition isn’t it? Scientific investigation has revealed that it is not true that sleep before midnight is better than sleep after twelve o’clock. The claim of some people that they never dream is also untrue. Research ers tell us, for what it is worth, that almost everyone dreams for an average total of at least two hours nightly. It is just that some people are better than others in recalling fancied episodes. For your consolation it is also not necessary to make up sleep in propor tion to the hours we have lost. Dr. Noah Cloan, medical director of a lead ing life insurance company, has said that some subjects were forced to stay awake for four or five days, yet they needed only ten or eleven hours of sleep to be fu lly refreshed. Well, we’ve said all of this as a reminder that physical sleep is necessary, but spirit ual sleep is always condemned in the Word of God. That is why the apostle Paul warns us that we are not of the night nor of darkness; that we are not to sleep but rather that we are to be watching and sober at all times. To the Roman church he declared, “And that, knowing the time | that now it is high * *
The home should be the place where the great are small and where the small are great.
* * THE "LAST WORD" ON WEATHER
One of the Southern California radio stations has devised a special service which makes it possible for a listener to call a certain telephone number. Immediately the weather forecast is given for the next 24 hours. The in formation is updated every hour as the weather may change. It is certainly a very handy service. Things are not quite so bright for one of the African radio stations, however, where the weather forecasts have had to be drop ped. It seems that the government ra dio station in Uganda ran into trou ble with its prognostications. The na tive listeners considered the weather predictions as an actual and definite government promise. If the climate, which was promised, didn’t match up to what actually came, the people accused the somewhat tottering gov ernment of spreading only “a pack of lies.” And, today, in spite of all the advanced scientific equipment at his disposal the weatherman cannot per fectly predict what’s going to take place. Perhaps the station in Uganda was wise to drop its daily reports. It didn t want to lose the confidence of the people in the Province. How won derful to realize, however, that the Lord Jesus Christ has given us won derful predictions of things which w ill take place upon this earth, the greatest of which concerns His personal return. For every verse in the Bible that tells His first advent, there are eight which deal with His coming once again. Our Saviour declared, “If I go away (and He did), I w ill come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there ye may be also.”
