“ There was no other good enough, To pay the price o f sin; He only could unlock the gate O f hedveh and let us in."
"While we were yet sin ners, Christ died for us." (Rom. S:8)
Dear Fellow Disciple of the Risen Lord: Again the Easter season approaches. And once more, throughout the world where Christ is known, men are moving in thought toward Calvary. You and I are in the company that is drawing near the cross. Moti vated by love to Christ, we are moving, in remembrance, into the very darkness of the Golgotha scene. We do not make this mental journey often enough, but we have come today__you and I— and we are standing, heart-hushed, close to the Sav iour's cross. We are gazing, in thought, upon that holy scene in which Christ, the God-Man, willingly gave His life a ransom for many, an atonement for the sins of the people. There never was, and there never can be a similar sacrifice, for at Calvary "God was in Christ, recon ciling the world unto himself." In the silence of this sacred moment of contemplation, familiar words come back to us: "I gave, I gave My life for thee; What hast thou given for Me?" Beloved— you who have received the gift of eternal life— you must answer the Saviour's question, and I must answer it— each of us for himself. "He died, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God." What are we doing to make salvation known to men for whom Christ died? In the shadow of the cross, each of us must answer honestly. As you read the facts on the opposite page, that concern the work of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles— a school that exists solely to make Christ known— will you pray, as I am praying, "Lord, help me remem ber Calvary"? Yours in the bonds of Christian fellowship,
President.
