Here is Wisdom; this is the Royal Law; these are the lively oracles of God." "The most valuable thing that this world affords." Is this merely an extravagant claim? Or is it, in fact, sober truth? Yes, the Bible is our most valuable possession— '. Because it is man's best guide through this earthly life, and best help in preparing him for eternal life. 2. Because it is our only adequate picture of God, enabling us to understand Him and His purposes for mankind. 3. Because it gives us our only adequate picture of man, and what God can do for him and with him. 4.

Jesus Christ, and on the fact that this re- lationship proves itself genuine when the converts experience and witness to the power of saving grace. Such was Tim- othy's experience after his conversion, during Paul's difficult mission in Lystra. Timothy saw Paul mercilessly stoned and dragged as a dog through the streets of Lystra, yet he did not flinch before his neighbors but took his position beside his wounded benefactor. The self-authen- ticating experience of faith, the deep certitude that God had spoken to him even as He had to Paul, steeled Timothy for the experiences that loomed on his own horizon. All he had on which to base this living faith was Paul's testimony that God had been incarnate in Jesus Christ, and that Jesus was alive forever- more to restore power and dignity to men as true sons of God. Timothy had no Bible other than the Old Testament, which foretold the com- ing of the God-man, yet the witness of Paul's own experience joined the inner witness of the Spirit within Timothy. No stoning mob, no demon-motivated per- secutors could shake this new-found per- sonal relationship with a self-communi- cating Lord. From Paul, Timothy learned that in Jesus Christ man sees his poverty and his possibility. In Jesus he saw himself as a sinner in rebellion against his Maker; yet, while seeing him- self as a weak, ofttimes defiant rebel, he also heard the call to peace and to power. He heard God's own call to receive the gift of reinstatement as His son, and to

HEN we are afflicted, suf- fering bodily or mental Wanguish and pain, or when we are sorely tempted and tried, rec- ognition of the fact that we do not suffer alone and that others have gone through similar and even more trying experiences can give us en- couragement. Some years ago in a city where I was pastor a 19-year-old girl under- went leg amputation in an effort to arrest a disease that was gradually tak- ing her life. Following surgery, com- plications set in, and the young woman suffered intensely, both from physical pain and from concern re- garding what the future might hold for a semi-invalid. During the 11 weeks or more of her stay in the hos- pital she displayed unusual courage throughout all her suffering, but one day her countenance was more radi- ant and cheery than usual. This is the story she told: That morning she had visited the occupational therapy department of the hospital and had there seen a middle-aged man in a wheel chair. This man had undergone no surgery, had experienced no amputation of any of his limbs. But he was neverthe- less virtually helpless—a total crip- ple, except for very slight ability to move his head. There he was—in the occupational therapy department —facing the future courageously, hoping to learn some skill which would enable him once more to be- come a useful member of society. His example of courage under such for- bidding circumstances, said the girl, gave her new courage. Sometimes in our own handicaps and trials, in our own sufferings and discouragements, it may be helpful to remember that others have faced and are facing even more difficult hardships than ours—and are doing it courageously. Such an attitude on our part will tend to give us inward strength and comfort. It will keep us from feeling sorry for ourselves be- cause "we have no shoes," to realize that there are people "who have no feet."
