will take
'bless stand
witness for the ,cause Of
ehristtotestify,.
Born h .1047, I enjoyed all
the ,benefllts of the culture
and education offered by"the•
western world in the 050's
and 60's, My home en-
vironmentwas what could be
called solid middle-class
Annierjca. The opportunities
that were mine were almost
unlimited; but as a. young
person I was attracted.by the
dazzling offers of _sin and
fell into the grips of the devil.
My case was not un-
common for our day, and it
will suffice to say that by the
age of 24 1 was at the Futter
level of life both morally and
physically. No lust was too
base for my indulgence, and
no attitude too wicked for my
heart.
It was in this condition, in
October 1971, that I was
introduced to Jesus Christ by
some people who knew Him.
I do not mean I was in-
troduced to a religion or a
doctrine, butto a Person. -•
Immediately I felt the
'-effects of conviction as my
guilty soul was dealt with by
the Judge of the universe.
Through God's faithfulness I
was quickly persuaded to
yield to Christ and quit my
life of sin.
I am not ashamed to say
that I took the old fashioned
"I aan not ash arced of the
Sogpel of Christ: for it is the
povs er of God unto
salvation."
Romans 1:16
When a
legal case is
brought before the judicial
courts for trial, there
generally are Witnesses
called upon to testify eon-
cerning their, knowledge or
involvement in that case.
The world, the flesh, and
the devil think they have a
case against God and His
Word. The devil is •mad
because • he got himself
kicked out of heaven and was
sentenced to bell for eter-
nity. The world is just blind
enough to go along with the
devil and believe his lies,
living insin without fear of
judgement.or; ation.
I,' persona : ' , would like to
take this opportunity as a

Where is `glorifying'?
Dear Editor,
In the year 1929 the Inter-
national Council of Religious
Education, made up of
religious organizations of
Canada and the United
States, copyrighted the
American Standard version
of the Bible "to insure the
purity of the text." In the
Hebrew Portion of that Bible
the name of God apears as
"Jehovah" over 6,800 times.
When Jesus quoted from
Isaiah's prophecy, as
recorded in Luke 4: 17,18 the
text does not appear as it is
in Isaiah: "The Spi,'.t of the
Lord Jehovah is upon me."
(Isaiah 61:1)
The context of Isaiah 61:1 I
found to be quite enlighten-
ing: "Because Jehovah hath
anointed me to preach good
Linings unLu the meek; he
hath sent me to bind up the
broken-hearted, to proclaim
liberty to the captives, and
the opening of the prison to
them that are bound; to
proclaim the year of
Jehovah's favor, and the day
of vengeance of our God; to
comfort all that mourn in
bion, to give unto them a
garland for ashes, the oil of
joy' for mourning, the gar-
ment of praise for the spirit
of heaviness; that they may
be called trees of
righteousness; the planting
of Jehovah, that he may be
glorified." (Isaiah 61:1-3).
Where is the `glorifying' of
Jehovah today? Can the
`Council' answer this ques-
tion?
Sincerely yours
C.F. Barney

was forgiven, the power of

God blessed my unworthy
soul with the . perfect
assurance that I. was adopted

Today I am in my twelfth

Hiro be all the glory, I know
He saves ane just now. His
Spirit bears witness with my

The devil's case against
God is soon to go to

by the grace of Jesus Christ,
to take the witness stand in
