W A LK IN G IN LIGHT They shall walk, 0 Lard, in the light of thy countenance. Psalm 89:15 I. Walking Is a Simple Illustration from Practical Life 1. Our knowledge of Gqfl should make common life radiant. 2. We may choose the sunny or the shady side of the road. II. Such a Walk Is a Walk in Gladness III. Walking in the Light Is Guidance IV. Light Purifies 1. We should learn our faults (Psalm 90:8). 2; His light may be a terror or a joy (Psalm 139:23). 3. Nothing foul can live in His sunlight. V. Light Bleaches 1. The blood will cleanse from all sin. —Alexander Maclaren FOUR STEPS TO LIFE From darkness to light. Acts 26:18 This question is of the greatest possi ble importance. There is no satisfactory answer except in the Word of God. There are four steps which may properly be considered. 1. Acknowledge that you are a sinner. You do not send for the doctor until you are ill, nor will you call upon Christ until you feel your need. “ For there is no difference: for all have sin ned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:22-23). 2. Accept Christ as your Saviour. If you are troubled with doubt, or burdened with sin, nevertheless accept Him. You must take the first step by faith. Whit tier says: The steps of faith “ But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12). 3. Ask God, for Christ’s sake, to forgive your sin. Having accepted Christ, you have a right to make a plea to Him. Call upon Him in the name of Jesus. He cannot refuse you. “And the publi can, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner” (Luke 18:13). He will hear you, if your prayer and your spirit are right. 4. Act according to His instructions. By faith we enter into the Christian life. Day by day we must go forward under His leadership. Without Him we shall wander and become easily confused. “ If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know . . .” (John 7:17 asv ). —•/.

GREATER GOALS
are still ahead of us... Today’s world conditions point up sharply the urgency for Bibie-trained young men and women to teach and take the Word to the world. Moody’s response to this challenge is to improve and enlarge present facilities for immediate needs and to plan wisely for the even greater demands of the future. Giving evidence to this continuing forward policy of the Institute is the new Fitzwater Hall, a welcome addition to MBI’s growing campus.
Fitzwater Hall is a modern building, providing much-needed classrooms; a new, well-equipped audio-visual department; language laboratory and faculty offices. This important structure, added to the Institute’s growing near-the-loop campus, was dedicated during MBI’s recent 75th anniversary. It was named in honor of the late Dr. P. B. Fitzwater, a great Bible teacher and expositor, who was a member of the Moody faculty for 41 years. The Moody Bible Institute family—trustees, offi cers, faculty, alumni, employees, friends —ob served the diamond anniversary as something to be grateful for, but not something to rest on. There are too many things yet to be done. Fitz water Hall represents one of those things, as it is built into the larger purpose o f the Institute. Fitzwater Hall is something more than brick and mortar. It is a symbol of Moody’s dynamic spirit of building together with God —for today and tomorrow. EVANGELICAL MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE 820 N.
