By LILLIAN L. STOOPS

Often bypassed by today's milling crowd, the faithful work of fathers will be rewarded in eternity.

L'our years ago my father died at the age of 78. Most of the time I had taken him for granted. After all, doesn't everyone have a father who is kind, soft-spoken, honest, and moral? Since his death I have often spent time reviewing his life. I was unusually fortunate to have had him for a father; not that he was perfect in every way, only in the ways that counted. His life sounded like a Greek or Shakespearean tragedy. At the age of 15 he lost his father, whom he loved. Three years later his older brother was hit by a train and killed. Later, death interrupted his happy marriage after only three years. (My mother died in childbirth, leaving two little girls.) Dad moved back home with his mother, who helped him with the children. In return he helped her with her farm. Although it was not the custom for men, he changed the diapers as often as my grandmother did. My sister was not well and eventually died at 6 years of age. Some fathers do not value daughters as highly as sons, but not my father. I do not think it ever occurred to him to wish I had been a boy. I was his child, and he loved me. There was an Adventist couple in the neighborhood, Ethel and Joseph Bachman. They gave Bible studies, and Dad accepted the Adventist message, along with several other families in the neighborhood. A small Sabbath school was second of four sons on a farm, his mother depended on him started. Soon, however, the other families drifted away. more than the others.

He had the Pharisees again. They had come to ask Him about the gone so far, done so much, spoken so positively, but now at source of His authority.

We should multiply our dinner invitations with the purpose of using the time around the table and after the meal to build friendship and give our testimony, to share the Word and pray with our guests. You will notice that I have not yet spoken about cold-turkey house-to-house visitation. I believe that if each one of us has a territory of perhaps 100 homes, it is our responsibility to reach them for Christ. Before visiting the people living in our territories, we must not neglect the easy way. Where can we get names of people to visit, people who will not close their doors in our faces? Have we recognized what an impressive list of names we have in our church files? These are names of people who by some means have come into contact with the church. Consider the agencies that can provide follow-up names: 1. Our missionary magazines—Signs of the Times, Message, These Times, El Centinela, La Sentinelle, and others. 2.

A person could be justified in letting the matter rest at that Precisely at this point—when evidence in favor of God's point were it not for certain clues that help us understand why position was seen to outweigh evidence for a cherished, Lucifer's sin remains a mystery. Such clues enhance our conflicting position—Satan committed his ultimate, costly understanding of the Christian faith. error.

It can never be imposed upon an intelligent person. heart (see Isa. 14:14), that is, in his mind, the seat of the To be sure, it was God who created Lucifer with the rational faculties.

He wished to produce those qualities the power to respect or disregard the evidence and to give or that He desired most, love and trust. The capacity to choose withhold allegiance.
