SPECIAL CHRISTIAN HOME SERIES TO BE JANUARY FEATURE

cession of empires is made evident. All pf this, in the study of signs of the times, prepares us for the coming of our hord Jesus Christ. In Revelation 22:10 and 12 we read, “And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” It is the great THEY SAY "They say!" Ah, well, suppose they do; But does that make the story true? Suspicion may arise from nought But malice, envy, want of thought. Why count yourself among the "they" Who whisper what they dare not say? "They say!" but why the tale re­ hearse. And help to make the matter worse? No good can possibly accrue From telling what may be untrue. And is it not the better plan To speak'of all the best you can? "They say!" Well, if it should be so, Why need you tell the tale of woe? Will it the bitter wrong redress Or make one pang of sorrow less? Will it the erring one restore Henceforth to go and sin no more? "They say!" Oh, pause and look-with­ in. See how thy heart inclines to sin; Watch, lest in dark temptation's hour Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its power. Pity the frail, weep o'er their fall, Speak of good or not at all. desire of God that none of us be taken unawares; we are to be prepared for His coming. He wants us to be pre­ pared to welcome Him, thus He has given not only to us believers, but also to the world in general and Israel in particular, these many signs found in His Word. Study them for yourself for your own spiritual blessing and edifica­ tion.

Emphasis” on the Biola Hour. A FAMILY OR A PICNIC

Visitors to our Biola campus w ill often ask, “How in the world can you handle so many young people?” Per­ haps it is like a woman who got on a bus accompanied by her ten children. The driver asked her, “My, lady, is this all one fam ily, or is it a picnic?” The woman was understandably tired, so she simply gave him a glare of dis­ gust and replied, “Yes, this is all one family, and I’ll have you know it's no picnic either.” Seriously, that however, is not the case w ith these wonderful Biola young people. They are not here to while away four years, but are in regimented training for service with the Lord’s army around the world. Their purpose is to study to show themselves approved not before men, but unto God, workmen that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. Your continued faithful and prayerful support is greatly appre­ ciated. 15
