"GO D SO LOVED THE W O R LD " John 3:16 I am that vine which, twisted, formed A shameful crown for Him to wear. A tender plant, I grew and praised Him for the sun and light and air. I worshipped Him and envied man Because I knew God loved him best. I am a tree, but fashioned to A clumsy cross by hand of man. Great iron spikes bound Him to me Till we were one. A shudder ran M y quivering length . . . I thought how once I'd grown within yon wood, and praised The Lord of hosts, and envied man Because I knew God loved him best. I am the spear which pierced His side, But 'twas the hand of man which sped My shining steel and found His heart! Oh, I remembered, as He bled, How once I lay in the dark earth; And though I could not see His light, I worshipped Him and envied man Because I knew God love him best. How can we ever understand Such love as this made manifest, That though man slew Him on the cross, Yet still, ah still, He loves man best? — Martha Snell Nicholson THE CROSS OF CHRIST It makes a shadow on the grass. That cross on which Christ died; Oh, there my helpless soul has fled, And there it would abide. Though pomp and circumstance parade And bannered horsemen ride, They cannot lure me from the cross On which my Saviour died. For all the wealth of all earth's kings I would not turn aside; No other hope I find, no joy, No peace for me, aside From that dear secret place of grace, The cross on which Christ died! — Martha Snell Nicholson Recommended books are available from the Biola Book Room, 5 60 South Hope Street, Los Angeles; and on the La Mirada Campus, 13800 Biola Avenue. Handy mail order service is also available. Free descriptive books and record catalogs will be sent upon request. I want no other riches save That crimson cleansing tide.

INVITATION TO DISCIPLESHIP By Myron S. Augsburger

The message of evangelism. While most books on evangelism emphasize method and urgency, this one emphasizes the content of the message which in turn determines both method and urgency. The author shows that evangelism is Christian when it calls to discipleship, to a commitment to Christ, to a radical change of control as the whole person is brought under the lordship of Christ. $2.50 Order from your bookstore or Dept.
