you told me. Will you please send me some of your beans when they come up?” Some weeks later I received an other letter from her. It was actually just a short line. She stated, “My dear Dr. Wilson, my beans proved to be peas.” You see, beloved, you can't make beans grow from right to left. THE CROSS W A S HIS OWN They borrowed a bed to lay His head When Christ the Lord came down; They borrowed the ass in the moun tain pass For Him to ride to town; But the crown that He wore and the cross that He bore Were His own— The cross was His own. He borrowed the bread when the crowd He fed On the grassy mountain side; He borrowed the dish of broken fish With which He satisfied. But the crown that He wore and the cross that He bore Were His own— The cross was His own. He borrowed the ship in which to sit To teach the multitude; He borrowed a nest in which to rest— He had never a home so rude; But the crown that He wore and the cross that He bore Were His own— The cross was His own. He borrowed a room on His way to the tomb The Passover lamb to eat; They borrowed a cave for Him a grave, They borrowed a winding sheet. But the crown that He wore and the cross that He bore Were His own— The cross was His own. Even so, when God gives one a new nature and he is born again, he will live for the Saviour. This is the only thing that will give you a deep inter est in the spiritual welfare of your family, friends, and the lost around the world. Examine your heart to see if you have eternal life so that you may impart it to others.

Expansion into space has been grow ing rapidly 4 in the past half decade, however, in the last few months, it has virtually exploded. Actually we need to take a greater interest in the sad affairs here on earth rather than trying to get to the moon. Still, we are amazed at man*8 technological advancements. Take for instance the antenna which has been devised to pick up signals from distant satellites. The strength of such signals needs to be no more than one millionth of a i millionth of a watt. Sound confusing? Look at a comparison. This receiver-an tenna is so powerful that if you had it in your home here in America you could pick up what little sound a gnat might make flicking its wings over in Bombay, India. According to space scientists, that is what one millionth of a millionth of a vjatt is like. Approaching the ultimate in man’s achievements through communi cation we are concentrating on hearing another person’s voice from a distant planet. In the light of real spiritual needs here in our country, however, the human heart is basically designed to hear its Creator. As God’s voice is tuned in, even U faint signal becomes loud and clear when amplified by obedience. Are we interested enough to hear and to respond? Listen to His gracious invita tion, “ Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). * * * The Bible promises no loaves to the loafer. 14
