only YOU can do it I t is a glorious fact that God has given each of us the power of choice. In the matter of salvation God has done everything and then comes to our heart’s door and knocks. Only we can open that door. He will not force His way in against our will. In the matter of stewardship it is the same. The cattle on a thousand hills are His. All that we possess comes from Him. Then, as when we were saved, He comes gently and knocks. He asks us about our possessions. And again, only we can make the choice. W e can hug them closely to ourselves or we can, out of an open and pure love, give back to Him in order that His work on earth might go on. For nearly 50 years the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Inc. has enjoyed a steadily increasing ministry. Through the grace of our Lord and Saviour this ministry has expanded until today it includes a Bible institute, college, school of missionary medicine, theological seminary, foreign mission outposts in Hong Kong, radio broadcasts (half hour gospel programs three times each week over nearly 50 stations) and a literature work (tracts, books, monthly magazine [The King’s Business]). Many new friends are needed right now to carry on and expand this vital ministry. Some of you will have estates and cash amount ing to many thousands of dollars. Others perhaps will have only a few dollars. Our Saviour knows your ability to give. And knowing that He knows and cares is all that matters. O f course each gift is deductible for income tax purposes. When you give you may designate how you want your gift used by checking the appropriate box below. Because you have freely re ceived, therefore, freely give.
Match Sticks
Sirs: I write this short letter to share the blessings of one of the object lessons of the February issue with the match sticks. Because of it, one of our sixth graders made a decision for Christ. San Diego, Calif. J. P. Giordano Sirs: As a result of the article in the June issue entitled “Higher Educa tion” by George H. Moore, I have become more interested in teaching, writing, psychology, government service and social service as a means for me to have an influential part in the King’s business. Colorado Springs, Colo. Allan Taylor Sirs: The article for June aroused a question in my mind. It said, “We must ask in simple faith and never add any ‘buts’ to our requests.” In lessons or sermons on prayer I have previously heard preachers say we should always add “ if it be Thy will.” Isn’t it right to add “ but if it is Thy will to allow this illness . . . etc.?” I’ve never thought we should pray to be spared from childhood diseases such as measles Sirs: I have some old magazines I am glad I saved. The reading in them is priceless and something for a mature Christian. The present K.B. may be fine for young people, still it has too much worldly style. Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. C. 6. Taylor Sirs: I happen to be in the Conserva tive Baptist work and a member of the Board. And I have of course been put on the spot a bit because of the stand I took two years ago on the pretribulation issue. I just want to write to thank you for your article. I’m sure your clear-cut statement has been a real help to us. I praise God for your stand. Auburn, Wash. E. P. Fosmark, Pastor Bible Baptist Church Higher Education Under the Parsonage Roof or chicken pox. Santa Ana, Calif. Mrs. J. Carlson Fine for Young People Pretribulation
