Edward Earl Cleveland

The church of the living God is not a private, self-sustaining, social club. It must invade public privacy, or atrophy.

The Minister's Wife and Her God: 1

Leslie Hardinge

Before the minister's wife is anything else—before she is her husband's compan­ion, her children's mother, her church's helper, the world's missionary—she is a child and servant of God, answerable to Him for her words and actions, dependent on Him for righteousness and grace.

"Within the Shadow of Our Doors"

Lucas M. Diaz

It is well said that New York City is as cosmopol­itan as it is possible to be. Here one finds representatives of practically all the citizens of the world. Indeed, it is a real challenge, for it is a mission field in itself.

The Office and Ministry of the Angel Gabriel: Part 1

D. E. Mansell

The Scriptures and the Spirit of Prophecy frequently mention angels and their ministration on behalf of "them who shall be heirs of salvation" (Heb. 1:14). Only rarely, however, are the names of these celestial beings given. As a matter of fact, in so far as the inspired sources of information are con­cerned, only three are mentioned by name. They are, Michael, Lucifer, and Gabriel.

A Physician and Minister Team for Church Revivals

W.J. Hackett, J. Wayne McFarland

One of the most interesting programs that it has been our privilege to work in has taken place in the Atlantic Union—a church revival in which a physician and a minister unite in bringing the message night by night. This has proved very effec­tive in awakening our people to the wonder­ful privilege of living a life wholly dedi­cated to God.

Great Words of the Bible—No. 10: Propitiation in Relation to "Hileos," "Hilasmos" (d)

William T. Hyde

The writers of the New Testament were familiar with the books of the Old Testament. They probably learned to read them first in Hebrew, but in their adult lives they used the Greek translation known as the Sep­tuagint. Although this version of the Old Testament was not produced under inspi­ration, it serves as a bridge between the Old and New Testaments.

"What Is Thine Occupation?"

O. O. Mattison

Have we in the past been indifferent to the urgency of our message? Have we truly been preaching a complete message? Have we really become acquainted with the Source and the Author of our message, and do we know Him in all His fullness?

Christ's Life Memorialized

Charles O. Smith

Keep fresh in mind the great events of our Lord's life is of primary importance to the church. To have them fade from consciousness brings weakness and ultimate de­feat. Our faith must be stimulated and strengthened. This is why divine wisdom chose to provide the memorial of our Saviour's vicarious, sacri­ficial death in the Lord's Supper, and the memorial of His glorious, triumphant res­urrection in the ordinance of baptism. What of His humble life of living service? Is there no memorial for it?
