Leo Ranzolin
WE HEAR a lot about consolidation in our church today. Many express the thought that they do not want to consolidate with this or that. But the Lord wants to consolidate with us. The Lord wants to unite with us. Yet He does not force us. Only with God can we consolidate the differences. . .

MIAMI wasn't supposed to be easy and it wasn't; but the Lord blessed in spite of human expectations. To describe our experience is simple the Lord took over. To go beyond that is like trying to tell a love story that will never end. . .

ACCORDING to the Church Manual, "In the absence of a pastor, not only is the local elder the spiritual leader of the church, but he is responsible for fostering all branches and departments of the work. The Sabbath school work, the Missionary Volunteer work, the missionary activities of the church, the interests of the church school, and every other line of activity should receive his attention, his advice, and his encouragement. . .

ALAN WALKER, a city minister, writes: No apologies, please, for the Christian gospel. Tell it. Tell it on the mountains, tell it on the plains, tell it in the cities. Tell it, wherever people are found. Tell to the whole wide world that Jesus Christ is Saviour and Lord. . .

MISSION '72 is now upon us. This monumental project is a determined effort by the whole church to reach every home in North America with God's last message. It is the most massive sowing and reaping evangelistic endeavor yet conducted by the remnant church, and we are all eagerly looking forward to a bountiful and joyous ingathering of precious souls as the meetings begin on March 4. . .

THE next color in our do-it-yourself rain bow is BLUE. Here we may have to over come a bit of emotional resistance, since blue has long been associated with a depressed state of mind. This is highly unfortunate, for blue is, in itself, one of the most beautiful of all colors. What can compare to the cerulean blue of a summer sky?

H. H. Schmidt
THE Lord Jesus Christ used a mustard seed to illustrate the evangelistic potential of the gospel of the kingdom. This is the story of how two mustard seeds of evangelism were planted in the Southern Union Conference in 1937, and how they have become trees whose branches have spread into all the world in the outreach of Adventist evangelism. . .

I KNOW a lady who is blind. This may not be unusual, but I watched this woman, from long distance and over many years, slowly, inexorably go blind. She is now more than sixty years of age, sightless, and not a Seventh-day Adventist. No, Adventists did not make her blind, but Adventists are the reason she is not a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church today. . .

PASTOR F. C. GILBERT, an old friend and the author of Divine Predictions Fulfilled, which we would do well to re print, was once visiting in China, and while there gave a series of excellent studies to the workers on the Spirit of Prophecy. In one of the sessions he bore this testimony: "I have such faith in the Spirit of Prophecy that if I found in these books a statement that did not appeal to my reason, I would accept it, because I believe God has spoken, and sometime I would understand. . . ."

L. A. Bascom, M.D.
OVER the period of the past decade there has been a concerted effort by educational leaders of many of our States to eliminate all small schools, public and private. They sincerely believe that only large schools can give a well-rounded education for our children and youth. . .
