    Like flaming altar candle

    Within Thy holy temple,

    So would I be consumed with love for Thee,

    And heed, my Lord, Thy pleading,

    Thy loving Spirit's leading,

    That makes my spirit glad and calm and free.

    Lay Thou Thy hand upon me.

    Thine instrument forever,

    And use me where and when and as Thou wilt.

    Till songs of adoration

    And loyal consecration

    Will fill my temple, for Thy service built!

  • Our Victorious Faith

    "And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith'

    a John ^-A).

    Today, when the air is poisonedby the Communists' pestilential lies,

    let us boldly assert our immortal

    faith. That imperishable heritagewill abide when Communism is athing of yesterday.

    A treasured memory toned *nyfaith so often that I want to expressit. In central Europe an old, his-toric city sprawls on both sides of a

    river. Along the river bridge standtwelve statues of Christ, each pic-

    turing some phase of His life, de-signed to brace the faith of the pass-

    ersby. The first represents Him asthe Great Physician, leaning over a

    sufferer with healing sympathy. In

    the second. He is a warrior, castingthe lightning darts of Scripture at

    Satan. Next we see Him on a moun-tain, teaching with authority. Thefourth shows Him as a carpenter,busy with tools, working to satisfy

    human need. In the fifth He is re-presented stern-eyed, driving the

    money changers from the House ofPrayer. The sixth portrays Himcaressing the children; His arms andknees are full of little ones. The

    seventh through the tenth set forth

    scenes from Gethsemane and Cal-

    vary. In the eleventh He emerges

    from the tomb, while the last de-

    picts His ascension.

    Daily vast throngs of workmen

    walk along this bridge, each with his

    burden of sorrow and guilt. No mat-

    ter what their trouble, each can findsomething in these twelve Gtatues to

    strengthen His faith in the God-man,

    who was in all points tempted like aswe are, yet without sin.

    Not alone is the workers' faithsustained by reminders of Christ's

    life, but wherever this story is re-

    ported, hearts are uplifted. Menbecome empowered with Christ'spassion for the needy. Their faith

    is braced, not only in personal sal-

    vation, but in the thought that Godhas the final word, and that ultimate-

    ly Christ will redeem His world. Heis, was, and will be our abiding

    source of hope.

    Faith makes brothers of men.The story is told of a Briton travel-

    ing with his driver in India. "Do

    you speak English?" asked the Eng-

    lishman. The driver shook his head."French?" Again, "No." "German?"

    Once more, "No." Then the driver

    started, "Do you speak Kurdish, . . .

    Arabic, . . . French?" Each time

    the Briton shook his head. Then the

    driver began to hum, "Rock of

    Ages;" the passenger took up the

    tune. The driver started another

    tune; the passenger joined in. Soon

    they were both singing lustily, each

    in his own language, the grand oldhymns of faith.

    Such faith bores through racial

    differences. Let us cling to it.

  • The Meaning of

    SANCTIFICATIONBy Lois Held

    In the latter part of October,

    1948, I made up my mind that I wasgoing to go to school to become ateacher. I did not know that Godhad a plan for every believer's life,mine included, so I made my own.I planned but I was not happy. Asthe time for me to leave for schoolcame closer I became moody and myprayer life seemed all mixed up. Ifelt as though I had hurt someonewithout giving an apology. I wastroubled for almost two weeks withthe feeling that I was doing some-thing wrong—to the extent thatwhile in prayer and crying out tothe Lord, I felt that His presence

    was getting further and further fromme. The Lord and I only know theagony that I went through duringthose days.

    In desperation, on November 17,at 10:30 at night, I fell on my faceand told the Lord that at last Hecould have all of me. I asked Himto purify my heart and then do withme what He would. I promised Himthat I would do anything that Hewould ask of me because I was notmy own, but His. It was as if theceiling had opened up and then allof heaven. I knew then that I wasfree—free from my own anxieties,burdens, and self. Christ had liftedmy load and the Holy Spirit hadcome upon me. From that momenton the struggle within was gone. Iwas resting now in Him and wit-nessing to everyone of the joy andpeace that I had in my heart in com-plete surrender.

    For six months 1 went on seeingmy life being guided, enriched, andempowered by Him and for Him, butstill not knowing what this wonder-tui thing was that had happened tome. men one evening during aYouth tor Christ rally I heard abouttne baptism oi the Holy Spirit andnow fie was promised to all of God'§children. It was there that I iiirstremember hearing about sanctifica-tion and what it meant to a life. Iknew then that the Lord, in my ut-ter ignorance, had sanctified me andno A 1 was set apart for Him—se-parated from evil, but alive untoGod.

    Sanctification means separation.The idea of separation is first sug-gested in the account of creation in

    the first chapter of Genesis, andthere, probably, is seen the essen-

    tial figure of sanctification. God's

    first work in bringing order, law,and light out of chaos was to separ«ate, to put an expanse or gulf be*tween the two worlds of darknessand light, of earth and heaven. Hedid not do completely away with thedarkness but He separated it fromthe light. He separated the landfrom the water and He separated

    (Continued on page 14)

    *This article is part of a pa/perprepared hy this student for thecourse in Romans under ProfessorLaurence M. Farr. It presents boththe experiential and doctrinal as-pects of this important truth.

  • ^^ ^ ^(ujtitm&McUte^. the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance." Rom. 2:4.

    As I recall the years before myconversion, this verse stands out

    clearly. God's goodness duringWorld War II brought me to thefoot of the cross. After my dischargeI tried to adjust myself to civilian

    life, but was nervous and despond-ent, unable to forget the suicide

    planes, bombers, and attacks on ourship by torpedo planes. Because ofmy naval service in the South Paci-fic, I was authorized to wear Aivebattle stars. But they brought noreal contentment. I prayed when-ever in danger, but under pressure

    and not from a truly penitent heart.

    I believe God led me throughthose valleys of despair to draw meunto Himself. I attended church

    every Sunday and began graduallyto appreciate God's lovingkindness

    more. I realized that God mustsurely love me to spare me as Hedid. At last, on September 29, 1946,I bowed in all unworthiness beforean altar of prayer. The Lord gaveme His Spirit and I became con-cerned about my life-work.

    After many inward battles, Hisclear word of guidance came, andsoon after I enrolled at this Bchool.

    The Lord had taught me much dur-ing those days of wrestling. Hehelped me establish regular prayerhabits, which I have steadily kept up.

    One November night I had beenpraying earnestly for the unsaved,

    when a voice spoke to my heart, "Bestill and know that I am God." Grad-

    ually I became quiet and soon sawvisions of thousands of people aroundme. Whether my eyes were openedor closed, there the people were.

    Not a sound cam from the vastthrong. It seemed as though thesilence were a magnet, seeking todraw the gospel out of me. Godseemed to say,

    "They are waiting to hear aboutJesus for the first time.'' I left the

    room, but, wherever I went, what-ever I did, the vision of that dark-

    skinned throng haunted me.

    "Lord," I asked, "are you calling

    me to the mission field?" Then, asI was praying fervently, light came.Again God announced His presencewith the words,

    "Be still and know that I am

    HEALTH

    SERVICE

    Missionary Health Service is tlie fulfillment of the vision of an unusual

    Christian layman—Mr. G. W. Lewis of Lincoln, Nebraska. His life wouldmake a good Reader's Digest addition to the series on "The Most Unusual

    Character I Have Ever Met." (Continued on Page 10)

    Mrs. Rosenberger is in theprocess of making acrylic, a plas-tic material for making dentures.

  • Mr. Lewis prepared to become acollege professor. He has degreesfrom Michigan State, Columbia, andthe University of Chicago. After

    teaching in colleges for ten years he

    turned to the hatchery business. His

    plant became America's first to at-tain a capacity of a million eggs.

    As a layman of the Christian andMissionary Alliance, he was muchinterested in foreign missions. Thatinterest led him to make a tour ofsome mission fields, and while inAfrica he became impressed with thedental needs of missionaries. Notonly were they unskilled practition-ers with their pliers that they usual-

    ly carried with them, but soon weresuffering impaired health and evencurtailment of service by neglecteddental needs. Mr. Lewis determined

    to do something about it, and event-ually took many hundreds of hoursof training under some leading Ne-braska dentists.

    Some time later he was in Niger-ia operating a dental clinic, mainlyfor missionaries. On his last triphe took care of the dental needs of

    450 missionaries who came to theclinic from a radius of 600 miles.

    The next step in this humanitar-ian service was to train missionariesto take care of elementary and emer-gency dental needs. This trainingin dentistry would correspond to themedical training which severalschools are providing for missionar-

    ies. It does not make professionalpractitioners out of them—they con-tinue to be missionaries with an add-

    ed skill for service. Last year Mr.Lewis had a class of four at Omaha.This year he has had eight full timeand part time students. Four areregistered nurses, two are exper-ienced missionaries. One has hadtwo years of training in a dentalcollege. All are missionaries or mis-

    sionary candidates.

    Mr» Lewis contributes all of his

    services and pays for all equipment

    and materials. When ready to go tothe field, he provides each trainee

    with approximately three thousand

    dollars worth of equipment from thefoundation that he has set up.

    A by-product of this health ser-vice is that the many students, mis-sionaries, and other Christian work-ers who provide the "clinical ma-terials" have had a lot of work donewithout charge. One rather younghome missionary on a very meagerincome in the Kentucky mountainshad to have her teeth removed. Thecost of dentures was prohibitive—-=$300.00. Twice, while looking to Godto supply her need, she pulled this

    promise from a "Bread Box" ofScripture verses: "Open thy mouth,and the Lord will fill it." She tookthat to mean for her that God wouldprovide her with teeth. Not longafter she was in Fort Wayne, andheard of Missionary Health Service.

    The outcome^—^a happy, grateful wo-man with a fine set of dentures!

    We are certain that many in thatday may well rise to call Mr. Lewisblessed

  • The Meaning of Sanetification(Continued from page 5)

    the waters of the sea from the va-pors of the sky.

    Later in the spiritual realm, Heseparated His people. He separatedSeth from the worldly race of Cain,Noah and his family from the ungod-ly world, Abraham and his seed froman idolatrous family. He separatedIsrael from Egypt and the surround-ing nations. The meaning of theword "church" is "called out or se-parated." To you, and to each of usas Christians comes the same callstill, "Wherefore, come out fromamong them, and be ye separate,saith the Lord, and touch not the

    unclean thing, and I will receive you,

    and will be a Father unto you, andye shall be my sons and daughters,saith the Lord Almighty. Havingtherefore these promises, dearly be-

    loved, let us cleanse ourselves fromall filthiness of the flesh and spirit,perfecting holiness in the fear of

    God" (II Cor. 6:17,18; 7:1).

    Sanetification then means ourvoluntary separation from evil. Evilis not destroyed but it is put off, laid

    aside; we have detached ourselvesfrom it and a gulf has been placedbetween. We are to reckon our-selves to be dead indeed unto Bin,

    but alive unto God through JesusChrist our Lord.

    The Lord Jesus was very desirousthat every one of His children have

    His best for their lives and not be

    left alone after His departure from

    them; so He promised to send theCounselor to abide with them. John

    14:16 tells us that Jesus was goingto pray to the Father and then Hepromised that the Father wou/ld

    send the Counselor and that Hewould abide with us forever. Jesus,

    in John 16:7, told His disciples that

    He had to go away because if He did

    not go away, the Counselor wouldnot come to them; but if He depart-ed, He promised He would send Himunto them.

    The disciples were not ready tocarry on Christ's ministry when Heleft them; but in Luke 24:49 Heagain promised the One who wouldmake them ready, the One whowould give them power. He toldthem that He was going to send thispromise of His Father upon them;

    but they must wait in Jerusalemuntil they would be clothed uponwith this power from on high.

    "That must have been a great

    restraint put on restless, impulsive

    Peter, but he waited with his breth-

    ren, and they cried "to God andsearched their hearts, and forgot

    their fears and the angry rulers whohad murdered their Lord, forgottheir jealousies and selfish ambi-

    tions and childish differences, until

    they were exhausted of all self-love,

    and self-goodness, and self-trust, and

    their hearts were as the heart of

    one man, and they had but one de-

    sire, and that a mighty consuming

    hunger for God, and then suddenly

    God came—came in power, camewith fire, came to purge and cleanseand sanctify through and through,

    and dwell in their hearts and makethem bold in the presence of their

    enemies, humble in the midst of suc-

    cess, patient in fiery conflicts and

    persecutions, steadfast and unswerv-

    ing in spite of threats and whippings

    and imprisonment, joyful in loneli-

    ness and misrepresentations, and

    fearless and triumphant in the face

    of death. God made them wise towin souls, and filled them with the

    very spirit of their Master, till they,

    poor, humble men that they were,turned the world upside down andtook none of the glory to themselves

    either."
