So philosophy calls it, but the Word of God uses simpler and clearer language. “It was nec essary,” Paul told the Jews at Antioch, “that the Word of God should first have been spoken to you.” That is, as if he were to say, “I can’t help myself; it is a categorical imperative!” The imperative lies inherent ly in the very nature of the case. The natural procedure is to start any Gospel program with the Jew. Sentiment calls for it; gratitude requires it; and, above all, God commands it! So pow erfully was this conviction borne in upon the conscience of Paul, and so important did he consider Jewish conversion, that he cried out, “I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren . . . who are Israel ites!” Dear child of God! Will you not ask Him to let you see Israel as He sees her? And when you do, a new joy and a new blessing will come to you. Try it. We feel that some day you will thank us that you did. Our work merits your every confidence. It is a program of world-wide testimony to the Jews. Your fellowship is always welcomed and appreciated. THE CHOSEN PEOPLE magazine is sent to all contributors.

When we were selecting a photo for this month's cover we were impressed with this shot of Washington's Mount Rainier taken at midnight. The film was exposed for 15 minutes, enough time to record the brighter stars as they traveled in the sky. See page 37. Photo by Haines
