What thrilling sights await the redeemed when God invites them to explore the vast universe!

E HEAR much these days about the achievements of astronauts and cosmonauts, but how insignifi- cant are present "excursions" into space compared witci the space travels of God's saints in the soon-coming years! More than one hundred years ago Ellen G. White was privileged to see in vision some of the wonders of the starry heavens. Words failed her to describe the glory of what she saw. When she had her vision (December 16, 1848) of the "open space" in the constellation Orion, comparatively little was known regarding this "corridor of glory," the colossal size of which now appears to be almost beyond mathematical computation. On page 41 of Early Writings, Sister White mentions this greatest of astronomical wonders: "The atmosphere parted and rolled back; then we could look up through the'open space in Orion, whence came the voice of God. The Holy City will come down through that open space." One of the reasons that God gave the Oripn vision to Sister White was evidently to convince Capt. Joseph Bates, one of our leading pioneers in the message, that Sister White's information and instruction were divinely inspired. The captain had doubts regarding her visions before, but not after seeing and hearing her in the Orion vision at Topsham, Maine. Captain Bates had been a student of astronomy in his youthful days on the high seas. He had heard and read of the open space in the constellation (To page 9)

Likewise, standards will save no one whose motives and aims are not By Arnold V. Wallenkampf in agreement with God's will. But they can be of inestimable help to the Christian who is sincerely desirous of practicing the will of God and living to His glory. Standards may help such a one know God's will or may remind him of what is right when he is tempted to forget. Standards may also be likened to scaffolds. The scaffold is not the real building, but scaffolds are helpful and needed while a building is in the proc- ess of construction. Thus standards are spiritual scaffolds that help us erect characters in accordance with God's will and to His glory. From personal experience I have learned that structure is important to successful teaching. During the past seventeen years while I have taught many different courses in our schools I have found that it is a definite aid to me in my class presentations from day to day to go into the classroom with a certain structure of presenta- tion. If I have not definitely struc- tured my work it is easy for me to di- gress from the main theme that I ought to follow in order to cover the contents of a course within the al- lotted time. In the same way standards may help guide us toward the kingdom. But the condition of divine blessing is not mere mechanical obedience. There is no more guarantee of salva- tion from obedience than there is in mentally assenting to the nearness of Christ's second coming. Salvation will never come to those who merely remain physically within the divine fence or who keep the law of God un- der compulsion. To the Jews who kept the law outwardly, Jesus said: "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Phar- isees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 5:20). The Jews had become involved in a religious routine, the omission of which offended their misdirected con- sciences, yet the observance of which did nothing to bring their lives

"That's a good idea," said her husband. "I'll fix up the plow and plow the field. Then you and the children can plant the seeds and care for the growing flax." As the flax grew the field was beautiful to behold. One evening as harvesttime approached our sister was shocked to find her flax covered with grasshoppers! Her disappointment was indescribable, and she hurried back to tell her husband the sad news. He listened patiently and then said, "Wife, many times we have prayed and God has always heard. He has always supplied our needs. He is still able to answer our prayers. Go back to the field, kneel down, and tell God we have been faithful with our tithe. Tell God that part of this flax is His. Tell Him how much you need the sewing machine, and then let us see what He will do for us." Back to the field she went. It looked as if the flax would be utterly destroyed by morning unless the Lord performed a miracle. She knelt in the field, poured out her heart to God, and then went home. It was nearly sunset. Early the next morning she eagerly went to the field. Upon arriving at that plot of ground she stood in amazement, hardly daring to believe her eyes. God had performed a miracle! He had de- stroyed the devourers. There they were covering the ground, millions upon mil- lions of dead grasshoppers it seemed, as dead and black as if they had been roasted! She rushed home with the good news, and the whole family praised God for His goodness. A little later the flax was harvested and sold for a good price.

The capitol building had been erected by the Japanese during their occupation of Korea. It was constructed in the form of the Chinese character that stands for Japan. During World War II the build- ing was gutted by fire. When Korea gained her freedom after the war the new government refused to use it, because its very existence and shape said "Japan" to every Korean mind. For more than 20 years its gutted skeleton stood in the cen- ter of Seoul as a reminder to 20 million Koreans of their past hardships and pres- ent blessings.

These experiences of faithful tithe pay- ing and systematic giving of offerings are being repeated in various ways, over and over again, throughout the Southern Af- rican Division. Everywhere there is evi- dence of more accurate calculation of tithe income and greater faithfulness in returning it to the Lord. There is more sacrificial giving and more active par- ticipation in Ingathering. For the most part, God's people here are faithful. They are striving earnestly toward self-support, and they want to see the work of God finished soon.
