Today I am grateful to God for my eyes and for my life. But for His providential care, I might have lost one or both. Returning from a two-week trip, Mrs. Harper and I were clue in Kansas City at seven o’clock in the eve ning. but our plane was delayed and it was three o'clock in the morning when we leached home. When the alarm rang at six o'clock 1 started to the basement to light the gas furnace. It is a simple household chore that 1 had done a dozen times “HE before—turn on the gas, make a torch of twisted newspaper long enough to reach the pilot light in the middle of the furnace, get down on my knees, look into the firebox to locate the pilot light, touch the lighted torch to it, then open the main gas line. SHALL As 1 went through the kitchen on my way to the basement door I felt a strong restraining impulse that I must not follow my usual technique for lighting the furnace. I heeded that inner Voice and took live minutes in the cold to fashion a wire clothes hanger into a crude bent-wire torch with a . . . KEEP match taped to the end of it. W ith this I could reach the pilot light without looking into the furnace. Standing to one side of the furnace 1 inserted the burning match taped to the end of the bent wire. As I did so there was a terrific explosion of accumulated gas. A sheet of blue flame shot from the THEE” furnace door to the basement wall eight feet away. The force of the blast cracked the cement footing of the burner, broke the cast-iron door of the furnace, and shattered a basement window. By A. F. H ARPER Had I been down on my hands and knees looking into the furnace door , as 1 had always clone before, I do not know how I could have escaped. That E ditor in Chief of J I Church School Periodicals sheet of flame would surely have struck me full in the face and have set my clothing on fire. The blast had shaken the whole house and Mrs. Harper came running from upstairs fearing the worst. But, standing to one side of the furnace, I was unhurt. I called to reassure Mrs. Harper and then lifted a prayer of thanksgiving to God. Others have died under similar circumstances. I do not know why I was spared from this tragedy. 1 only know that I started to do what certainly would have cost me my eyesight and probably my life. I felt a strong impulse not to do what I had always done before and I heeded this check from the Holy Spirit. To H im I owe my life and breath And all the joys I hare; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave. My life has always been His by right of creation. My clays have long been His since the hour of full consecration at a college chapel altar. I know now that all of the clays that yet remain are His by right of preservation. I have experienced again the truth of His Word: “He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways” (Ps. 91:11).

But in Ps. 51:5, David affirms that hum an beings are born in sin. In John 3:6 Jesus sets forth the fact, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh,” in the sense that one must be born again. If Jesus had had an earthly father, then He would have needed to be born again. T hat would mean that He could not have been our Saviour because He would have needed a Saviour himself—to save H im from the sin where with He was born and to impart the new birth. In Heb. 10:5 we read of Jesus’ coming into the world, “A body hast thou prepared me.” The Father prepared a sinless body for His Son through the miraculous conception by the Virgin Mary.

We have in m ind the three names under which your Publishing House distributes its products . . . NAZARENE PUBLISHING HOUSE Lillenas Publishing Company Beacon Hill Press THE NAZARENE PUBLISHING HOUSE needs no explanation. Official publications and all our periodicals carry that signature. The Lillenas Publishing Company is a trade name used in all of our music publications to encourage inter denominational use of our increasing sacred music output. Not only that, it is a fitting recognition to Dr. Haldor Lillenas, who wrote so many of the beautiful songs used throughout all Christendom. The Beacon Hill Press is a trade name used in most of our books in order to give them the widest possible circulation. This is in keeping with the practice of most denomi national presses. Now, whenever you see the names Lillenas Pub lishing Company or Beacon H ill Press, remember that both are synonymous with the Nazarene Publishing House, which is owned by the Church of the Nazarene and administered under the supervision of its General Board. 24 (1148) • HERALD OF HOLINESS
