H. E. Rice
It is time we lifted our eyes from what others may or may not be willing to do, and fixed our attention on the needs of the world, on the possibilities of the work, and on the potentials that await our sincere effort.

Enoch Oliveira
Ministerial evangelism, as a sacred vocation, grants to everyone who follows it great privileges and much honor and pride of achievement. It is obvious, therefore, that as a logical consequence of the privileges inherent in his investiture, the minister also has duties and obligations.

Frank L. Marsh
Among evolutionists today it is not uncommon to find individuals who, although they believe man evolved upward from the beasts, claim to accept the Bible as God's inspired Word for man. Because our workers are continually coming in contact with these folks, I thought it would be profitable to present a quotation that shows how these theistic evolutionists think.

The victory over the metropolis of Jericho, followed as it was by the failure at little Ai, seems too often the pattern for twentieth century evangelistic warfare. That the results of our small-town efforts are not as we would wish will be readily admitted by most of us.

It is utter futility to talk of righteousness by faith if we are not living the experience of forgiveness and justification from sin through faith in Christ's atoning sacrifice.

SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS may not always recognize the debt of gratitude we owe to our Methodist brethren. Yet we do owe it, and not altogether because Ellen Harmon's spiritual nature was first quickened and nourished within the Methodist Church.
