gala? MW QM JP...- THUS SAITH THE LORD, BEHOLD, I SET BEFORE YOU THE WAY OF LI-ll AND THE WAY OF DEATH. Jeremiah 21:8 The entire Word of God is devoted to one theme - The way of life vs. The way of death. The Lord wants everyone to understand that the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life. He has made simple and concise His plan for saving man, so that no one, not even the most ignorant could ever excuse himself by saying that he could not imderstand that he needed a Saviour or that he did not know how to be saved. The plan of salvation, as given in the Word of God, is briefly as follows: I You Need a Saviour 1. Because you have sinned Rom. 3:23 All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. 2. Because you are lost Ps. 119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep. 3. Because you will be judged Heb. 9:27 It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. II Jesus Is The Saviour You Need 1. Because He is the Son of God Heb. 4:14 We have a great High Priest, Jesus the Son of God. 2. Because He died for your sin Isa. 53:5 He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed. 3. Because He lives to intercede for you Heb. 7:25 He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. HI He Will Save You Now 1. If you repent of your sin I John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousnessf' 2. If you receive Him as your Saviour Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. 3. If you confess Him before others Rom. 10:9 If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 4 A.,

For the Lord God will help meg there- fore shall I not be confounded, there- fore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. Isaiah 50:7 REV. IOHN A. DAVIS, D. D FOUNDER s we, the class, of '49, view the life of our founder, john A. Davis, we see in him an example of what our God can do in and through a life that is fully and completely yielded to Him. The Spirit of God working through a man, the Word of God speaking to a man, and the man of God yielded were the leading factors which encouraged our founder to take a worldy amuse- ment park and make out of it a,training center for Christian Young People to prepare for His Service. With his vision of service ever before us we too have, Set our faces like a flint as we endeavor to carry on the work of our Lord in bringing precious souls into God's Kingdom. His faithfulness and devotedness to the task which was be- fore him inspires us, who are the outgrowth of his work, on to fuller, richer, and deeper consecration to our Saviour. ---Betty C.
