WHAT REALLY COUNTS Not too long ago we heard the appro priate slogan of a building wrecking company which proudly proclaimed, “We could wreck even the Pyramids l” That is quite an achievement! Yet, no doubt with the proper equipment, most any one could perform such devastation. It would be more interesting to meet an in dividual who could build the pyramids. A fter all, it isn’t what we wreck, but what we build that counts for eternity. At this blessed season of the year, re member, those who deserve love the least are the ones who need it most. Let's show forth the love of our blessed Saviour. * * * A LL THINGS NEW In the year 816 during the Council of Bishops held at Chelsea, England, it was ordered that all dates should be num bered from the birth of Christ. By the decree, it was implied that time really did begin with our Lord’s birth. The Saviour Himself declared, “Behold, I make all things new.” The coming months will be brighter to those whose thought is not merely that we have hit ’66, but that we are actually in the year of our Lord, 1966. The day8 ahead are really His from the very first minute to the last. No doubt there will be some bewildering changes ahead for us. Things of life are always transient—our newspapers make this eminently clear. In contemplation we should consider that this may be the year of His return. So, with eager and ex pectant hearts let us be looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ, the One alone who could assert, “Behold, I make all things new.”
CHAINED WORDS Many centuries ago Sir John Rains- ford urgently beseeched Queen Elizabeth for mercy and deliverance for four men in prison on whose behalf he sought liberty. Touched by his entreaty Her Majesty wanted to know their names. The faithful man of God responded, “Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. You see, Your Majesty, if the law made them a prisoner in the Latin tongue and has separated them from the people, it should be our desire to see them spread abroad among the people in the language they can understand, English." As a re sult of this meeting the translation of Scripture was commenced so that men and women might hear and believe. Now, amid this 20th century, we have Biola men and women who are also carrying forth the message of eternal life to those of the more than 2,000 tongues which have not as yet had the Gospel trans lated into their own language. Senior student Jeanne Henry of la Habra take! her turn at the switchboard In the new Women's Residence Hall which accommodates mere than 300 girls. The Bieia Women's Auxiliary has assumed the responsibility of furnishing the lobby In the new structure, a project which is greatly appreciated by the entire Biola family.
