Ek' .v. ma' 'M my r ,ff UM JEBER, the mother of a leading merchant in the Arab village of Jebaib, became very bitter when her son was saved. His changed life and willing suffering convicted her, however, and soon she too accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. Some time later a missionary came to Jebaib to baptize several believers, but Um Jeber lay des- perately ill with a soaring fever. She asked the visitor to pray: he complied gladly with her ra- quest. As he was preparing to leave, the patient iumped out of bed and insisted on going along. The Lord had instantly healed her! That day the old Arab woman believer was buried in the waters of baptism. Near est ij, .W l J, f, Aviv xi 1: x It T. V' if' - -'fijiv -, n

F' no Q, CONGRESISJ fa s SPEECH ' Y,- . - ' ff , A IN tlresheart of t est part of the city of Jerusalem there is located a large n ' 'churc pose 'the sito of Christ's death and burial. This medieval struct s o th 'places ot the world. Altars, shrines, pictures are 'ev'erywhere'f u than anything else are myriads of crosses. Wooden, stone, silver, , ey hang on walls, are built into the floor, and are painted' on the ceiling. The same hot wlnds which blew over Isaiah when he told ot the suffering 0ne,dnow blow over the Church of the Holy Sepulchre with its' hundreds of as- sorte crosses. . ' Jerusalem has numberless crosses. Liberally sprinkled between the Crescent and the Star of David stand crosses for almost every sect and tongue ogdaeailent Christianity--Greek, Romain, Maltese, Russian, Copt, Armenian-L ut., every ., ,,, 4 .5 is ig ew c M., one of these crosses, statin? jaggedly into the sky, represents nqthingwbut death, nothing but the memory o 'a life. M I They will never tell theLNear,,East'mI erbisfrway to live which tar i transcends its narrow, bigoted life-patterns. Thejcrosses ot Jerusalem will never X - u tell the world of Jews andgrdoslegverywhere that He whom all men should 4 g worship lives to redeem mankindv . T But you alrdentfieflots' who make the gospel of Jesus Christ your life 1 L ,. crusade, Qiould' you take the Christ to Jerusalem, who can tell but what the 1, '43 Christiari who worships a dead memory, the Moslem, and the Jew, might see the ll - .... ' true significance of resurrected Lite after the cross? ,Ilhfi Q Then the crosses of Jerusalem will represent not death, but Life. Then they ' will mark not a memory, but a slte where one who was dead is alive again. Then il the crosses will reach out to a world: of Jews and Moslems---in the Orient, in Af- i 1 rica, in starving Europe, and in America. From Jerusalem to New York they vwille' I ' me reach out, not as the shrines of a decadent religion, but as the sign of victory, the i, , eternal conquest ot death. Then the hot wind which now blows through the , 'Ill , if tangled arms of a forest of crosses in Jerusalem will blow-in the ta,cer 6F ng V by men and women who will leave the Star of David 'and th,e,ACE:yentf for the li, A , living Christ of the Cross.
