ILIGENTLY carrying out his commission from Christ, the D apostle Paul traveled from place to place preaching with single- ness of purpose. His sole purpose, he said, was "that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus" (Col. 1:28). Paul felt a pastoral concern for the mechanics of church organization, and he saw to it that capable men Preacher were appointed to look after these af- fairs in order that he might the more effectively devote his time and energy to preaching perfection to imperfect of persons. As he preached he practiced, reinforcing precept by example, in order that he might "present every man perfect in Christ Jesus." Perfection Paul was well aware of the standard of perfection Jesus set forth in the epilogue to the first section of His sermon on the mount—"Be ye there- fore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect" (Matt. 5:48).

REVIEW AND HERALD, August 6, 1964 Ifite$ /OT in the Ten Commandments

By Matt R. Byers, Jr. A Layman

HE Ten Commandments are based upon the principle of Tlove. These ten precepts, com- prehensive and authoritative, set forth the duties of man to God and to his fellow man. "The will of God is expressed in the precepts of His holy law, and the principles of this law are the principles of heaven."—Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, p. 109. All contact between heaven and earth since sin entered has been through Jesus Christ. The Saviour who died on the cross was He who created the world.

During the summer, when visitors came, the church members had to stay home to make room for the visitors.

The men at the import division informed us that any exemption would require a decision from the minister of finance. We sought an appointment, but without success. A few days later a messenger appeared at our center site with the announcement: "You must come at once to the governor's office. He is expecting you in about ten minutes." When we met with the gover- nor we placed our problem before him and asked if he could write a letter to the Department of Finance asking them to help us. He went without hesitation to his desk, wrote the letter, and handed it to us. When we went to the Department of Finance, this time we were able to get an appointment without delay. Our request has been accepted and the promise given that everything possible will be done to help our project to completion. We are confident that God is preparing the way for a great work in Djakarta.
