ONE of our churches has appointed four days a year known as Good Shepherd Days.

Christian Courtesy

M. L. Miles

We are all familiar with the problems that presented themselves to the work­ers in the early Advent Movement. A generation of power­ful preachers sprang up, men who knew their Bibles. Sometimes in the smoke and heat of the battle they forsook kindness and courtesy.

"Stand Therefore" Part 1

H. W. Lowe

ONE of the marked characteristics of the apostle Paul was his virility of expres­sion, whether he was declaring doctrine or exhorting the faithful.
