to his own people in Korea. He has the peace that passeth all understand ing. Why? Because he recognized his need, and put his trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Three years ago I witnessed to a cardiologist on the broadwalk in At lantic City. “Fred,” he asked, “why don’t you stop that nonsense?” As we continued to wait for two other doctors with whom we planned to eat, I refrained from witnessing to him further. “Here they come,” he said. “ I’m hungry!” In the next moment, he dropped dead although he had never been sick a day in his life. He had turned his back on Jesus Christ; he was without excuse. None of us has a promise from one heart beat to the next. “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matthew 16:26). The price has been paid; the Lord Jesus Christ shed His blood. I can promise you today, on the authority of God’s Word, that if you settle it with Jesus Christ, you will have peace. No psy chiatrist can promise you more. Available in printed form from the American Tract Society, Oradell, N. J.
God, I’ll see Him soon; I’ll meet Him face to face.’ The others rebel. I want
ing the wrong information. They want their conscience salved. They don’t want to cut loose from their sins. They don’t want to be told of a God— a just God. True, God is a God of love, but there is a Hell to shun and a Heaven to gain. Many others are wrapped up in things of the world. They have set their affections on things of the earth, whereas God says to set our affections on things above. Recently I heard about a young Korean doctor who came to this coun try under the tutelage of a Christian surgeon to study neurosurgery. In his particular field of medicine, a high mortality rate prevails because of the difficult involvement with brain tu mors. As the Korean doctor listened to the Christian surgeon notifying his patients of their precarious physical condition, he was impressed by the fact that Christian patients accepted his verdict peacefully, while unbeliev ers rebelled. “ I want to know more about Jesus,” he told the Christian surgeon. “Why?” the joyous physician asked. “Well,” the Korean replied. “I’ve seen it work. When death is immi nent, those who know Christ as Sav iour have peace. They say ‘Thank
FULL SURRENDER Is there a door still closed to Him Of which you hold the key? Will you surrender it to Him And let Him Master be? Yield every treasure in your house hold stored; And as you own Him Saviour, crown Him Lord. A fellowship more intimate God, yearning, waits to give, The key you hold debars you from the best; One precious sin, retained and un confessed. That chamber which is closed to Him Might be the "Upper Room." Where the disciples meet and pray And deeper friendship bloom: A company where Friend speaks unto friend: A foretaste of the life which hath no end! the kind of peace that Jesus Christ can bring.” Today that surgeon is a missionary There is a high, nobler life Than that which now you live!
