RESCUE A HOMELESS AND HUNGRY ORPHAN

npw o men sat quietly for a few ■JL moments and then one said, “Why not receive Christ as your Saviour now?” “ There is no reason why I shouldn’t,” was the ready re ply. Together they bowed their heads in prayer and the great miracle of reconciliation between man and God on Calvary’s cross was experienced. Two men from opposite sides of the world, they had met one evening in the lobby of a hotel. The Christian layman witnessed to a stranger. This resulted in a sinner’s accepting Christ as his personal Saviour. The Chris tian had felt that there was an urgen cy about this meeting, believing that most likely it was the only time he would have to talk to this stranger. And it was! At that moment the lost man was interested and he listened courteously. This was not by accident. The Spirit of God had prepared his heart and mind. Other occasions for witnessing are equally urgent although circumstan ces may be different. People may not meet again under such favorable con ditions. There may not be adequate time to present Christ. It may be difficult to gain an appointment or to have a private conversation. The present opportunity is favorable and should be used. It is an important moment when you have another person’s attention to your witness. He may be on the thres hold of making new friends and asso ciates which would deter him from making a favorable decision for God. The present opportunity may be seri ous because you may be the only per son who has access to his life. A busi ness man past fifty years old respond ed to the invitation of a friend to receive Christ as his personal Saviour, stating, “ No one has ever spoken to me persdnally about the Christian life or invited me to become a Chris tian.” The very insecurity of life is a cause for urgency. Actually your wit ness may be the last opportunity for someone to hear the Gospel and re spond. Opportunities for witnessing are al ways urgent, too urgent to neglect. The present is the only sure moment.

Y O U C A N —So Easily and What a Blessing! Know personally the joy of bringing Christian love and care—food, shelter, clothing, and school tuition (charged for in Korea)—to a needy boy or girl for only $10 a month—just 30 cents a day. The fine-looking children pictured here are all victims of tragedy, but have been rescued and brought to one of our Orphanages. Now they pray earnestly for a loving “Daddy,” “Mommy,” “ Big Brother” or “Big Sister” to be their sponsor. Invite a friend to be a co-sponsor, $5 each. Tell your Sunday school, your class or other organizations about this work, dedicated to bringing up these orphans in the Christian faith, some to be Korea’s future Christian leaders. B e a S p o n s o r f o r O n e o f T h e se These children are now being cared for, but sponsors are sorely needed for them and for many others if this great missionary rescue effort is to go on. The child you select as your own orphan will know you as sponsor. You will get the child’s photo, address and life story, as well SPONSORS ARE CHANGING THIS
