"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved, and always will solve, the problems of the human race. . ."

ROMAN CATHOLICS are Johnny-come-latelies on the ecumenical scene. In fact, their ecumenism has been in large measure a response to Protestant and Orthodox initiatives. . .

MAN instinctively senses the value of music in his efforts to glorify God, and he has made it a part of his worship since Creation. . .

WITH the cooperation of the Danish Bible Society, the Naerum Town Council Library, and a local Bible collection, the Naerum Seventh-day Adventist church recently had a Bible exhibition, "The Bible 73." It was immediately followed by a series of evangelistic meetings. . .

Eric Magnusson
THE idea of a spontaneous origin of living cells was not much discussed before about 1940, although it was early seen to be a necessity for a thorough going naturalistic view of life. Russian scientists, especially A. I. Oparin, were active in the field in earlier years, 1 but the balance of power in this particular field of research would now appear to have swung to the West. . .

Orley M. Berg
THE first angel's message of Revelation 14 declares, "Fear God, and give glory to him." This is timely counsel, always appropriate, but especially so in the light of the judgment hour in which we now live. "To fear Cod" does not mean "to be afraid of Him," but implies a reverent awe, recognizing that He is the Holy God and we the creatures yea, sinful creatures. . .

Edward Earl Cleveland
North American Division is now five months into exciting MISSION '73. We have embarked this year with serious purpose on the difficult course of reordering our priorities. For 128 years the North American church has depended almost entirely upon its ministry for its evangelistic out reach. In 1973 we have set about, under God, to change this. In administrative councils across North America, this decision was made and the course set for the first time in the history of our division. . .

AS the pastor answered her knock, a breathless little lady burst into the church office. "Tell me," she blurted, "do you really do all that here?"

BECAUSE He recognizes that they are like sheep having no shepherd, Jesus is moved with compassion toward the thousands who crowd the grassy fields near the Galilean sea. All day long the Lord has ministered to this great crowd of humanity, feeding their souls with the words of life that fall from His lips in love and consideration for their human frailties. . .

MUCH has been written regarding the life, death, resurrection, and soon return of Christ of Galilee. Bruce Barton wrote The Man Nobody Knows, stressing the manliness of Christ. But little attention has been given to the perfect health that characterized Christ as our example. . .

MR. ALLMAN looked at me in puzzled surprise. He had been giving polite, nonchalant answers to my inquiries regarding his general health habits but my last question had gotten through and now he was captivated. . .

Plan-ahead foods for a carefree summer. . .Our Historic Faith and Contemporary Conflict (Conclusion)
Edwin G. Essery
AT THE center of the conflict between historical Christian and modern existentialist philosophy is the truth about God. The God of Harvey Cox offers no sure future for man. Paul Van Buren and T. J. J. Altizer each contributed in his own way to the concept that God has withdrawn from or ceased to exist in modern society. Rudolph Bultmann denies the "God-ness" of Jesus. What may be said of the relationship of Paul Tillich's "ground of being" concept to the teachings of our historic faith?
