those waterpots, if it had been His will. It took more than a word to save our souls. It took the work of the cross. But one word, Believe, brings life and peace. “Today, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.” “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” . ing to Harold D.

Using stereopticon slides to show work in most of the mission fields represent ed, the various missionaries brought challenging testimonies and reports from their service for Christ. A special burden of prayer was felt for those who have been forced to return from Korea and Japan or who are in danger of not being able to go back to the Orient af ter furlough.

With the Lord Jackie Fee, six and a half months old, the son of John (’30) and Mrs. Fee, 212 W. 16th Ave., Vancouver, B. C., Can., went to be with the Lord Jesus on March 31. The little one’s death came without warning. The parents write, “Though we miss him and would love to have him with us, still Jesus in His love and knowledge has taken him to preserve the beautiful bud for us without spot or stain until He comes.” Mr. and Mrs. Fee have two daughters, Agnes, 7, and Katliryn, 2. „ On April 4, Miss Anna M. Gleason, of 29 Liridero Ave., Long Beach, Calif., one of the Institute Bible Women, went to be with the Lord. Miss Gleason’s many years of evangelistic work, Eteri Club teaching, and leadership of Bible classes for mothers have been used of the Lord to lead many young women to: take training for Christian service at Biola and elsewhere. Of particular com fort to those who loved Miss Gleason was the fact that at the commitment service at the side of the grave, when the speaker in charge, Charles E. Fuller (Biola ’21), felt led to give the invita tion to accept Christ, one o f the labor ers at the cemetery responded. Miss Elizabeth Merritt, for many years Miss Gleason’s coworker and companion in Christian service, is undertaking a por tion of her work in addition to her own duties as director of the Euodia Clubs for girls.
LESSONS FROM A WEDDING [ Continued from Page 217]
empty, like the forms and ceremonies of the law. But the Lord Jesus turned to the servants and said: “Pill the water-? pots with water.” In obedience to His word, they filled them to the brim. We can see a picture hère of the living water of the truth of the gospel that is poured into the typical cere monies of old. Everything was changed when the waterpots were filled with water. Jesus said to the servants: “Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.” And as they poured the water out, lo and behold, in their very act of pouring out, it became wine! It was a'wonderful miracle. And yet, after all, it was just a duplication of what our Lord Jesus Christ has been doing for millenniums on ten thousand hill sides, changing water into wine through the operation of Nature’s forces. But at the wedding at Cana, He performed in a moment that which, under ordinary circumstances, requires many days to accomplish. The only comment the Holy Ghost makes on this sign is in verse 11: “This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of. Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.” That verse might well be linked with verse 14, in the first chapter. There we read that our Lord Jesus Himself “was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” The word “dwelt” is really “taber nacled.” “And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” In that verse is the key to all the wonderful symbolism of the tabernacle in the wilderness. It was a house of curtains, and' inside, in the holiest of all, between the cherubim, a glorious light was shining, which was the visible manifestation of the presence of God. The people could not see the glory. Can you imagine, for a moment, the cur tains parting and the brilliant light be ing revealed between. those golden boards—the glory shining out? Well, that out-shining is what we have here in the miracles of Jesus. They were like the drawing back of the curtains of the earthly tabernacle to expose the Shekinah glory, for “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself” (2 Cor. 5:19). One Word This first miracle shows Him as the Creator, the One who upholds all. things through His power, the One who pro vides for us everything that we need, including salvation through His own death on the cross. This great Creator became our Saviour. He was always God from ' eternity. He,* by whom all things came into existence, came down into ’this world to suffer for our sins, that we might be saved and have ever lasting life. One word from Him could have filled
