men, men of integrity and morality, men who know the difference between right and wrong and good and evil. For you wives at home He says, “Fol low me and ye shall become house keepers for me. You have set the daily bread on your family table, now what about the living Bread, the eter nal Word of God?” There are many walks of life represented among our readers, but the one thing God BEATITUDES FOR FRIENDS OF THE AGED Blessed are they that understand My faltering step and palsied hand. Blessed are they that know my ears today Must strain to catch the things they say. Blessed are they who seem to know That my eyes are dim and my wits are slow. Blessed are they that look away When the coffee gets spilled at the table today. Blessed are they with a cheery smile Who stop to chat for a little while. Blessed are they who never say, "You've told that, story twice today." Blessed are they who find the way To bring back memories of yesterday. Blessed are they who make it known That I'm loved and not alone. Blessed are they who ease the days On my journey Home in loving ways. — Esther Mary Walker would have us become is soul winners, or as He told the disciples long ago, “fishers of men.” If we hear His Word and follow Him, then we can be come that which is pleasing in His sight. It will, of course, be a profit to us as well as a blessing to all about us. This is the blessing which the Holy Spirit can bring to us and the new life we can experience.

RESTORING LIFE One of the most famous portraits in the world is that of Dante, which is painted on the walls of the bargello at Florence, Italy. For long years the legend of this masterpiece was that it had perished at the hands of ruth less men. No one in the contemporary age had seen it. As his goal in life to find the painting, an art connois seur sought to get the true story. He began in the halls of the palace where tradition said it had been painted. The storeroom walls of the deteriorat ing building were covered with dirty white wash. Carefully removing the old layers of covering, amazingly enough, beautiful lines and colors, long hidden, began to reappear. A t last, the grave face of the historic poet looked out again upon the world. An interest ing discovery, yet this does not begin to compare with the marvelous and miraculous work the Lord Jesus Christ performs in a human heart which through the years has been covered over by sin and unbelief. He delights to bring His divine image through the layers of worldly cares by the touch of His redemptive power. No ivonder Paul wrote, if any man be in Christ, he is made completely new, old ways are a thing of the past and all things are become new. 8
