' i 0014 lean Rev. Iared F. Geriq But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt. 6:33. Fort Wayne Bible Institute Indiana University Cleveland Bible College Penn College . Arizona State College Bible Exposition Church History l-lomiletics There are various launchings upon many kinds of seas in the course of a life-time. A launch- ing indicates the beginning of something, the leaving of a port, a departure from a base, a putting out to sea. For a vessel, it refers to sliding from the slip into the waters to be of service to man. This is all meaningful symbolism. Launching out for Christ expresses not only a new be- ginning, a commencement, but also a continued activity. lt is not only a launching, but a launch- ing out: out Where men are dying and need help. lt means out of ourselves, out of our security, out of our softness, out to the ends of the earth to carry the message of hope to waiting souls. What is done out there is the acid test of the education we have received. A true education must also instill a Worthy objective. No apology is necessary when it is for Christ that We live and serve. Much of modern education has majored on self-advancernerit, how to be a success and get ahead. lt is materialistic, earthbound, self-centered, and short- sighted. A true Bible education will aim high at living and working for Christ. Page thirteen

Butler Business College Fort Wayne Bible lnstitute Baltimore Lutheran Deaconess Motherhouse and Training School Deaconess Course They were tired and discouraged. All night long they had labored and now Simon must say, Master, We toiled all night and took nothing. They were washing their nets making ready for the next night of Work. They were tired and discouraged, but they were ready fishermen, too. Their boats were on the shore and their nets were near at hand being cleaned and repairedg they themselves were ready to put out from the shore at the Word of the Master. At His command they were ready to Launch out into the deep and let down their nets. We, too, may have labored earnestly and long, but if we have run ahead of our Lord and have left Him behind, We have caught nothing, and the precious cargo of souls We Would have brought home has not been found. The fishers of men have failed. Let us be willing to wait, as these disciples waited in their boats, until Christ is finished speaking and ready to give the command, Launch out into the deep. Then without hesi- i tation let us rise and launch out for Christ to i gather those souls that must know Him as their Saviour or be lost eternally! ' 59 Wg 4 ell Page fourteen
