In many areas of the earth multitudes of people have little or no freedom. They are under the dictatorship of godless and ruthless men, or, which is equally had, under the do minion of a totalitarian church. Both Communism and Catholicism (the Roman Catholic Church) threaten American free doms. A ll freedom-loving Americans should be aware of these forces and op pose them intelligently. Should either Communism or Catholicism capture Amer ica one of the first freedoms to go would be that of freedom of worship. Witness the persecutions of Protestants in Roman Catholic as well as Communist-dominated lands, viz., Russia, China, Poland, etc., under Communism, and Italy, Portugal, Spain, Colombia, etc., under the Roman Catholic Church.

What was unusual in our Saviour’s request of the woman? (w . 7-9.) 4. Why is it that so many people, like the woman at the well, do not ask of our Lord for the living water of salvation? (v. 10.) 5. How does the woman display her spiritual ignorance? (vv. 11, 12.) 6. What does Christ mean when He says that the man who drinks of His water will never thirst again? (v. 14.) Are you fully satisfied with the Lord Jesus Christ? 7. What must the woman do before our Lord could give her living water? (w . 15-19.) 8. How did the woman try to change the subject when Christ got close to her

Jew s do h e a rth e Gospel. Many are secret believers. One of them, a young Rabbi, said: " I know it is the truth, but do not have the strength to come out in the open. I have a wife and two little children. What w ill be come of them?" Another one, also a Rabbi, was beaten up by one of his re la tiv e s , because it became known that he was turning to Christ. Some others of our recent contacts: A Jewish young man accepted Christ after one of our Saturday night gospel services. A week later he brought a friend who wanted to know about the Lord. Another one, coming from Israel, is taking instruction for baptism. A Jewish doctor and his w ife invited us to conduct a Bible class for Jews in their home. Please pray that our tes timony may be enlarged so that more may be readied with the gospel. • Send your gifts to: SOLOMON BIRNBAUM, Director NEW YORK MESSIANIC WITNESS, Inc.
