We can go back to Samaria—back to the sins we had left behind. 2. W e can throw ourselves on what seems to be an enemy—advance into God’s mercy. 3. W e can stay where we are—sit still and die. —adapted from T. D e W itt Talmage RIVERS OF LIVING W ATER John 7:38 The springs of life are found in faith. Life in the Spirit is filled with: I. Vitality 1. Christians vitalize dead organiza tions. 2. The disciples of Christ are also to vitalize dead dispositions. II. Purity III. Refreshment IV. Hilarity 1. What more fitting symbol of glad ness than a stream dancing in tho sunshine? 2. “There is a river the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God.” Perhaps we should sing, “ Like a mighty river moves the Church of God” ; a river carrying vitality, purity, refreshment, and making the birds to sing in the trees that line its banks. — J. H. Jowett
You CAN — So Easily and What a Blessing! Know the joy of bringing Christian love and care, food and shelter and school tuition (charged for in Korea) to a needy boy or girl for only $8 a month—just 26 pennies a day. All of the above fine looking children are victims of tragedy but have been rescued and brought into our New Life Orphanage. They long for a loving “ Daddy and Mommie” or “ Big Brother or Sister.” Ask a friend to be a co-sponsor— $4 each. Tell your Sun day School or other organization groups of this work dedicated to rearing future Christian leaders in Korea. Literature on request. Be a Sponsor to One of These Although these children are being care for, sponsors for them and others are sorely needed. Select your own orphan who will know you as sponsor. You get the child’s picture, address and life story, as well as the Orphanage history and picture. Letters and parcels can go as you wish. Replies are prompt and in English Sponsors find this personal contact THRILLING and BLESSED. Look above at No. V-l and see four year old Shin Hae Kook. Compare These Two Buildings
As he wandered on a road begging f o o d from door to door he was found by a police man. His father had died and
poverty his mother abandoned him and dis appeared. Now he knows love and comfort. Won’t you take him or some other deserving orphan to your heart? Help Train Christian Leaders Here is a work blessed of the Lord with increase. Sponsors, too, report that they are being blessed because they are helping train boys and girls in the Christian life. Each day the children in our Orphanages are taught the Bible, sing Christian songs and earnestly pray. They attend church and Sunday School and are led to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. New sponsors are desperately needed now that Korea’s severe winter has set in. Help us take many more forsaken and ragged children into our Homes. Spread the word of the ESEA work. Check coupon for folder. SWANSON EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION, INC. Dept. K-l Chicago 31, Illinois
