consider the end of things. Call your boy or girl to your side and say, “I want you to know the God of your father, and believe in Him just as I do.” Can you say this? A perfect heart with which to serve Him indi cates where the feelings are, while a willing mind is the portion for our thoughts. The. hymn writer has it cor rectly as he declares, “For there is only one way to be happy in Jesus, when we trust and obey.” Do you husbands and wives pray to gether for your children? This is the way your day should start each morn ing. The Bible is God’s remedy for sin. It alone can keep your home together as you apply it to your lives. It is also the only preventative for sin. Living without it makes you subject to all the ways of the devil. The only safe place where you can have real satisfaction and rest is in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit indwells the believer to give power in his life so that he may be useful and fruitful. Walk with Him today and you will have a blessed existence you can find in no other manner. The man who expects to go to heaven should take the time to study the only route which will get him there. TRUE SACRIFICE Having no money to buy her husband a gift for their wedding anniversary a loving wife cut off her long hair and sold it in order to get enough money to buy a chain for his watch. The husband, also destitute, as far as this world’s goods are concerned, loved his wife a great deal. He wanted to make a sacrifice. The decision was to sell his watch in order to buy her a fitting anniversary present. He got a lovely comb and mirror so that she could prepare her beautiful long hair. What an illustration of one who truly loves. Such a person will always seek creative ways in which to show this affection. Listen to these familiar words from John, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is bom of God, and knoweth God." “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins" (I John 4:7, 10).

O] penheimer, the atomic scien tist, once declared, “The best way to send information is to wrap it up in a per son." While the scientist didn’t have it in mind, yet, this is exactly what God did when He sent to this earth His only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The purpose in training these 1400 young men and women at Biola is also to send them forth with the Gospel message, God’s gift to all mankind. It is true, we can proclaim this message by radio or through the printed page, these are vital tools, however, as the well-known atomic scientist rightly said, “The best way to send information is to wrap it up in a person." A WORD TO DADS Dr. V. Raymond Edman, a wonderful man of God, for more than a quarter of a century president of Wheaton College, was once. asked if, as a father, he had his life to live over again what he would do differently. His answer is most appro priate, “There are many things! I would deliberately, even doggedly, take more time to be with my children. Our four boys realized that there were many de mands on my time. They were very un derstanding. I f I had it to dp over again, however, we would have taken more time for reading and praying together, as well as for picnics and trips. Reading and praying together add love and secu rity to young hearts.” 12
