HARVESTING LIVES (cont.) found that the whole town had come to know Jesus Christ. This man has had many testings, persecutions and difficulties but he has found the reality of the presence of Jesus Christ in his life through it all. He is convinced that his life is for one purpose—that is to preach Christ. Well, the world is full of Olindas and Victors who are unknown to us but certainly known to and loved by our Heavenly Father. What motivates them? Well, I think that is quite sim ple. They are missionaries who have given all they are to Jesus Christ be cause they truly love Him. Paul ex plained them to us when he wrote: “For the love of Christ constraineth us: because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto them selves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again.” "Christ Is A ll" Like to a worn-out garment, cast aside, From off my heart the heavy spirit fell As, moving through the darkness, far and wide, A rising tide of song began to swell. Song after song came crowding to be heard, And all earth's faces vanished and were blurred In one Face, strangely beautiful to see. For all the songs are one song, and the Face, Is one Face only, when the heart has known The matchless Christ and His redeem ing grace. There cannot be another: He alone Moves on the fringe of all our days And clothes us with the garment of His praise. — Helen Frazee-Bower

"T R U ST " When nothing whereon to lean remains, When strongholds crumble to dust; When nothing is sure but that God still reigns, That is just the time to trust. ’Tis better to walk by faith than sight, In this path of yours and mine; And the pitch-black night, when there’s no other light, Is the time for our faith to shine. HIS W ILL BE DONE “His will be done,” we say with sighs and trembling, Expecting trial, bitter loss and tears; And then how much doth He answer us with blessings In sweet rebuking of our faithless fears. God’s will is peace and plenty and the power To be and have the best that He can give, . , , A mind to serve Him and a heart to love Him, The faith to die with, and the strength to live. It means for us all good, all grace, all glory, His kingdom coming and on earth begun. Why should we fear to say: “His will . . . His righteous, His tender, loving, joyous will . . . be done?” 8
