gives us the answer, perhaps, in the case- of the little country of Albania which the Soviet Union is now threat ening to expel because Albania was originally in the empire and does not belong to any ultimate confederation that would include an outsider like Russia. But America, this beloved coun try of ours, has had a very significant place in the acomplishing of God’s ul timate program, prophetically, because you see America has been very instru mental in the anti-Colonial process. Our late secretary of State, Mr. John Foster Dulles, insisted that our sym pathies and assistance go with those Mediterranean countries that were seeking independence—this contrary to the popular idea that communists would represent our country as being a great colonial power. If any nation in the world has been an anti-colonial power ours has. At one point in his negotiations with Winston Churchill Mr. Franklin Roosevelt so insisted upon the giving up of some of Britain’s colo nial dominions that Mr. Churchill said. Mr. President, “I do believe you’re try ing to do away with the entire British empire.” So, behind the scenes, you see that there is definite progress being made in some of the every day political developments around the earth that doesn’t seem to have any immediate importance in this case for example whereby God is preparing, politically, the scene of the final operation of ful filled prophecy in the Mediterranean area by the reduction of these countries again to the geographical status that they had when they were the constit uent parts of the Roman Empire in its first form. The Word of God continues to live and to be fulfilled day by day. I trust by God’s grace that He is your daily guide and comfort. "When God measures a man.

"YOUR PLACE IN HIS SERVICE?" What matter if you cannot go to dis tant lands and preach What matter if you somehow fail with eloquence to teach What matter if you cannot sing or lead in any way? There is a place which you can fill, Just get behind and pray! The missionaries need your prayers, the preachers need them too, Without the help of praying saints, There's not much they can do. You, too, can give your hearts to Him To use in His own way And may He help us all to get be hind and pray.
MOVING COSTS EVERYONE
If you have just moved, or are planning to do so, you know all that is involved. But did you realize that your move can also cost the Lord's work? If you have moved and have not as yet informed us, from now on it will cost Biola 8 cents (rather than 4) in order to have the post office give us the in formation concerning your new address. If you use a post card, or the forms provided by the post office, this will mean a sub stantial savings for the work of the Lord. With a quarter of the population moving every year, according to statistics, you can well imagine what this will ulti mately mean for Biola. Thank you for your prayer ful help in this, as well as in our other ministries for the Lord Jesus Christ.
