T HE magazine Time recently related a wartime project in which thirty- six conscientious objectors volunteered as guinea pigs in an experiment in human starvation. The tests were conducted at the Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene at the University of Minnesota. The men were fed two carefully ra tioned meals a day totaling about one- half the average necessary'calories for adults. While these men were naturally refined, they soon began to lose their manners. At the table they carefully protected their own food and looked sus piciously at their neighbors. As the ex periment went on, the men grew increas ingly irritable. They had alternate spells of despondency and ecstasy. Four of the men were dropped from the experiment because they cheated by eating extra food. The results have been carefully tabu lated in a recent article in the Journal of Clinical Psychology. Over-all results proved that a man is a very different creature when he does not get enough to eat. Apply this to the spiritual life. The Word of God is the Christian’s daily food. There can no more be a healthy spiritual person without proper spiritual food than there can be a healthy physical person without physical food. The rea son that so many Christians are cranky, cross, emaciated and useless can be placed squarely at the door of insuffi cient diet. One meal a week at the 11 o’clock service on Sunday morning is not sufficient to carry a Christian through seven days and keep him spiritually fit. There should be daily appropriation of spiritual truth. There would not be spir itual “gastric disturbances” if one habit ually nibbled from God’s Word! Yes, spiritual malnutrition is a wide spread disease among Christians. This is the more deplorable because of the superabundance of available food. The Great Physician advises a diet of large, well-balanced' meals. Try it and note your increased spiritual vigor. Page Nine
ish people, along with all others, be di rected to him and to the sinister power which he will represent. This turn of events will find the Jews adamant in their opposition to the Anti christ which, in turn, will stir up his terrific wrath against them. While Is rael has seen some dark days in her history, this, by all odds, will be the darkest. Just when all seems lost, the heavens will open, and Israel’s Messiah will appear to save His people, and to fulfill all the promises which have been made by God to them. But now is the time for thoughtful students of the Word to re-examine minutely the prophetic Scriptures! Now is the time for earnest Christians to serve their Lord faithfully! Now is the time for the ultimate in missionary effort to proclaim the gospel of God’s grace to the ends of the earth.

Tem porary recognition to this republic has already been given by the President of the United States. Fierce fighting is go ing on between the Jews and Arabs. To say that students of prophecy are interested in this turn of events is a great understatement. For upon this par ticular event hinges the entire system of end-time events. It is yitally important that Bible students make a new, inten sive, and thorough, survey of the pro phetic Scriptures. If this is Israel’s day, and if the events of the last sev eral weeks constitute the opening of the prophetic door, then the days leading to the consummation of this present age are very near. What do the Scriptures teach regard ing Israel and end-time events? First of all, Israel as a nation is to be re stored. The Jews are to inhabit their own land again and enjoy for a time the full status of national entity, so much so in fact that the coming Antichrist or world ruler, will make a covenant, or league of peace with them, allowing them commercial, political and religious free dom. Yet this covenant will endure for only one-half of its scheduled time. The Antichrist will break it summarily and demand that the worship of the Israelit- J U L Y , 1 9 4 8 Is This Israel’s Day?
