"Something Old and Something New"
L. R. Van Dolson
IN THE past few years antiques have become so valuable that a flourishing market has developed in their modern manufacture. The frequenter of Ye Olde Antique Shop has to be extremely careful and know his field or he is likely to be "stung" by being sold a cheap imitation instead of a real antique. . .

Edward Earl Cleveland
On the cover of this magazine you see a preacher in a wheat field surrounded by an abundance of this valuable grain. But apparently he sees nothing of it. His question is "Where is the harvest?" And to his question, Jesus gives the answer, "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.". . .

Some men may think Father's Day is just for sentimentalists, but these principles of fatherhood are for everyone. . .

Virginia-Gene Rittenhouse
FROM time immemorial music and religion have been closely interwoven, for since the dawn of history music has been an integral part of man's experience. The Bible itself opens on the strains of a sublime oratorio when "the morning stars sang together," and closes on that mighty chorus "Salvation, and glory, and honour" as human history merges into eternity. . .

Benjamin D. Schoun
WHEN we think of the work of Christ in salvation we usually concentrate our attention on His death on the cross, and not with out reason. This event certainly is decisive. But what does the Bible mean when it says in Romans 5:10: "For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life"? 1 Jesus not only died, but He conquered death. . .

Earnest Lutz
FOR some time Roger had been "hung up" on a four-letter word. But then he chanced to meet a Chinese scholar walking along a winding road below the city walls of Chungking talking to himself. The scholar was repeating the same sentence over and over to himself, pronouncing each syllable clearly and distinctly. The young missionary recognized the key words as some that he had recently read in his Chinese Bible. . .

We requested the Ellen G. White Estate to furnish an answer to the rather perplexing question posed in the title. The following article not only brings us an answer to the question but helps make us more aware of the power and the greatness of God. . .

Leonard Hare
OUR home planet is but one of nine that orbit the sun in our solar system, yet only on earth do conditions seem ideal for the support of life. Two of the planets are so close to the sun that their surface temperatures are too hot for life to exist. Five of the planets are so far from the sun that its feeble rays cannot warm their surfaces enough to sustain life processes. . .

WHAT a night it was. Eastern nights are often full of wistful beauty and haunting mystery, and the one on which Belshazzar feasted and fell was no exception. A thousand of his lords and nobles and their wives and concubines had gathered in a banquet hall that was in keeping with the splendor of a world monarchy. . .

THE primitive church in the days of Christ and the apostles was organized for service. Without impressive structures, either in buildings or organization, it carried on a tremendous daily missionary contact program that effectively carried the gospel to an indifferent world. . .

Colin Standish
FOR many decades most basic methods employed by psychiatrists and clinical psychologists have been established upon the assumption that major causes of mental illness have close connections with the disturbed person's ineffective social adjustments. . .

Elsa Lonergan
IF ALL the little air sacs in the lungs were flattened out the surface area would be about the size of seven large bed sheets or the size of a 15' x 30' room. Every hour, at rest, the lungs carry in and out about 1,500 gallons of air. . .

GRIDIRON GLADIATORS are prayed over and spectators are entertained with half-time repertoires that include "Put your hand in the hand of the Man of Galilee." It is a new day in Christendom. Conversions after the modern order of things fill more stadiums than does Henry Aaron. . .

"THIS is my Father's world, O let me ne'er forget . . ." And he never did. Whenever Clifford Anderson was asked to occupy the pulpit as guest speaker he would invariably choose this traditional English melody as a favorite congregational song. He considered the gospel ministry the highest calling, although he was a successful physician, author, lecturer, and musician. . .

Ellen G. White
IN THE days of Christ there were no sanitariums in the holy land. But wherever the Great Physician went, He carried with Him the healing efficacy that was a cure for every disease, spiritual and physical. This He imparted to those who were under the afflicting power of the enemy. . .

Rosalie H. Lee
IS IT possible to be a minister's wife and a Bible instructor at the same time? Ask Mrs. O. J. Bell of Keene, Texas, that question and she will reply, with a twinkle in her eye and an affirmative nod, that she has been at it for better than twenty years!

Steven P. Vitrano
THE textual sermon may involve a sentence or two, a paragraph, or a longer passage such as a chapter or a whole book of the Bible. A sermon involving a longer passage has traditionally been called an expository sermon. I have not used that terminology because whether long or short, the sermon must be an exposition of the text, the text must be analyzed with respect to its unity, organization, and progress. . .

THE Western world is being completely brainwashed by slogans and concepts of the business and commercial establishments. Business magazines and commercial and industrial reports are replete with charts and graphs. The progress and prosperity of a corporation are carefully drawn on a graph, starting at the bottom left and proudly approaching the upper right-hand corner as they report ever-increasing rates of income or output. . .
