GREETINGS
TO
GOD'S SAINTS AT

Ho w ou r he a r t s r ejoice

JeeuB, His only begotte n S o n.
by our lo ving F a t he r
th rough
t h e

Jesue

t o
s e e k and
t o
s a v e that which is l o s t; t h i s i s t h e gr e a t e s t mis s i o n ever
v e n tu r e d upon.
It is our divine privilege
to
extend
the
arm
of
Christ in
this
s ame
mission.
I . GOD,
WHO
BEES
ALL THINGS ,
KNOWS
THAT I AM
AND
THAT
ALL
MEN ARE SINNERS. Job Jl*
2-4, For what is the portion
from G o d
above and the heritage from the Almighty on
high? I s it not
c alamity t o
t he unright e ou s, and d i s a s t e r
t o t h e
w o r k e r s of
in
iquity?
Doth
n o t He s e e
my
ways,
and
number all
my
steps?
I
Samuel I6s7 But Jehovah
said
unto Samuel,
look
no t o n
his
countenance, or o n
the height
o f
his stature; for Jehovah se e th
n o t
a s man seeth; for man looketh o n
the outw a rd appe a r ance,
but
Jehovah looketh on the the he art.

these
are the
ones
for
whom
Christ died.
May
I illustratet Bro. Neville
Campbell,
once a gr e a t slav e
t o
rum, finally
gave
his
h e a r t t o
Christ thro ugh
Christian
baptism. He do e s n o t look like
or
a c t
like
the
same p ers on. He h a s become a witnes s
for
Christ among those who a r e
still
en
sl a v ed by t he
bottle.
This is t h e
forgiving
gr ace of our G o d .
II. WE
KNOW
GOD SYMPATHIZES WITH
THE TERRIBLE PLIGHT OF THE
SINNER.
Hebrews
4:15,
F o r
we h ave
no t
a
high priest
t h a t cannot
be touched
with
t h e feeling
o f
our
in
firmities; but
o n e
that h a t h b e e n in all points t e m p t e d like
w e
are, yet with out
sin.
Ifatt.
But
w h e n He
s a w t h e
multitude.
He
w a s
m o v e d w i t h
compassion
on
them,
because they
fainted,
and were scattered
abroad, as
sheep
having no s h e p h e r d .
How
our h earts
are made
heavy a s
w e s e e t h e
sin
burdened, confused, religious
but
n o t Chris tian multitude.
Y e s ,
I think we know something o f t he
c o m p a s s i o n
o f t he
h e a r t
of Christ. Oh,
h o w
He l o v e d t h e sinner, wh ile
h a t i ng
the
si h
that w a s
destroy

CHRIST
SAVES
THE
SINNER, WHEN HE
SURRENDERS HIS
ALL TO
HIM. Matt. Ii21, And
she shall bring forth a son,
and
thou shall call
His na me Jesus:
for
He
shall save
His people from their sine, I Tim. l:15i ' ' T h i s is a faithful
saying,
and worthy
o f
all
acceptation, t hat
Christ Jesus
came
into the
world to
save
sinners; o f
w h om
I
am chief. Amen b r o t h e r . ' Let
u s
shout it t o the
h o u s e
t o p , ' He and He alone
i
s
the
answer
to
the
mess in
which
man finds
himself.
IV.
JESUS
SATISFIES THE
HUNGER,
THE
THIRST AND
FILLS THE NEED
OF
EVERY
MAN'S
LIFE.
J o h n 4:l4, But w h o s o e v e r d r i n k e t h of t h e w a t e r that
I
s h a l l g i v e h i m s h a l l n e v e r
thirst;
but
the
water that I
shall
give him
shall
be in him a
well
of water spring
ing
up
i n t o
everlasting
life.
This thirst will be satisfied as you there at
h o m e a n d
those
of
u s abroad,lift
high
the Christ: You
in
your faithful giving
and;us
giving freely
of
this
w o r d
to
those
dying in their
sins.
May
God give us
vision; then faith
working through l ove
to
bring
the
forgiveness of God
t o
obedient sinners.

APRIL

WE GO

for

I
will
be
speaking
several times in their missionary conference. Then on the IJth our children are
paying for our
way
on to
Seattle
f or a two weeks visit
with
them. While there, we
will get
to
attend the Gosp el Festival at P S C B .
THE
REVOLVING LOAN
FUND IS A M U S T .
Recently, an inexperienced boatman fell over
board and his
boat
ran over him nearly cutting o ff his arms.
It is
thi s same sort
of
inexperience
that
is causing tragedy for many missions.
W e
appreciate the fact
that churches are concerned that we
h a v e
Living Link supp ort, but putting mission
aries on th e field i s only half the job. I
keep
thinking
of
this man whose
arms
were
dangling helplessly
as a result fro m
the
propellers o f his
own
boat.
Put

T h i s f u n d ,

as
the
benefiting congregations
repay the l o a n.
