Abortion?

Walter Raymond Beach

As could and should be expected, public opinion is irreconcilably divided. The division is not along the lines of Christian and non-Christian belief. Even in the Christian church camp different values are assessed separately and the differences do not always fall along denominational lines. . .

Abortion Is Not The Answer

Ralph F. Waddell

WHILE driving on the freeway between Los Angeles and the airport recently, I followed a station wagon that was packed full of children, ten by actual count. A large bumper sticker became more obvious in relation to the many passengers inside as it blurted out "Abortion is not the answer."

In Life-- In Death-- In Christ

Linda Mae Driscoll

It took a long time for the virus to do its deadly work. Too long. The two years of medication, hospitalization, of pain and suffering known only to the sufferer, were described by this woman of faith as a nightmare, and made her long to fall asleep in Jesus. In the prime of life, before the brush of middle age had lined her face or streaked her hair, this minister's wife was called to her final rest. And the age-old question automatically forms itself on our lips—why?

My Personal Part in the Ministry

Rosalie H. Lee

WHEN I was asked to share something of my personal part in my husband's ministry, I thought, What do I really do to help him that is worthy of mention? There are countless things that every minister's wife probably does that are hardly significant enough to recount, like being his secretary, housekeeper, cook, et cetera. Are any of these my greatest contribution to his ministry?

The Single Adult (Concluded)

Edward Skoretz

WHEN we look below the surface of the single adult's personality, we find an other characteristic even more basic than loneliness. Anxiety, found in varying degrees, is a very realistic force within the modern young person. . .

Seventh-day Adventism and Eschatology (Concluded)

8706

The ancient Jews, like ourselves, think of God's judgement in terms of an earthly court of justice. The difference is that the Christian pictures the case to be tried as a criminal case with himself in the dock; the Jew pictures it as a civil case with himself as the plaintiff. The one hopes for acquittal, or rather for pardon; the other hopes for a resounding triumph with heavy damages. . . .
