ANNI FINDS A NEW LIFE
Anni S was taken to the Crusade
in Columbia, S. C., with a broken back.
Latet she wrote, "I shall never forget
the ride to Columbia. The driver rold
me later that he was afraid to look at
my face, because it grew so pale. It
seemed to him that he could see life
leaving my body. He was afraid that
something would happen ro me; per-
haps I would die en route, and he
would be held responsible for my
death "
The Columbia Crusade was my
greatest meeting up to that time. In 16
days, 13,500 people were converted. It
still lingers in my memory as one of
the high spots of my ministry.
But to Anni, it brings a different
memory—the memory of the night
that she began to live again. No one
can describe what happened as dra-
matically as she.
Some five years later, she said:
"When Brother Roberts gave the altar
call, I was included in the crowd that
went up to be saved. I was crawling
on hands and knees in spirit and
mind, presenting myself along with
the rest of the lost sheep who were
seeking forgiveness, too." (Of course,
this was only going on in her mind,
as Anni was completely helpless in the
invalid room.) *
"Suddenly my attendant stood up.
She said, 'He is coming,' and I thought
Jesus was coming for me. Then I saw
Brother Roberts. He bowed down and
took my hand in his, lifting me, as he
said, 'Now, my little sister, in the
name of Jesus of Nazareth, I command

A BOY AND THE SEA
A MOTHER, who was greatly
distressed because her son
wanted to go to sea, sought help
from her pastor. While she was
telling the pastor about her son's
ardent .desire to become a sailor
and was saying that she could not
understand his desire for the sea,
as none of his people had been
sailors, the pastor was looking
with interest upon a large paint-
ing of a full-rigged ship on the
great ocean, hanging on the wall.
"There's the reason," said the
pastor, lifting his arm toward the
painting. All his life the boy had
seen that picture of a full-rigged
ship on the great ocean, and when
he came to man's estate he want-
ed to go to sea.
Parents, surround your sons and
daughters with good things. Much
has been written and said recently
about the vicious literature placed
before the young. Boys and girls
cannot be expected to develop high
ideals when they are subjected to
vicious trash.
The story of the Great Stone
Face teaches us that men tend to
become like that on which they
look. Let us look to things high
and good that good things may be
found in us.
In Gray, Ind., it's against the
law to get on a street car within
4 hours after eating garlic.
Honor visitors from out of town

BEHOLD, how good and how
pleasant It is for brethern to
dwell together in unity! It is
- like the precious ointment upon
the head, that ran down upon
the beard, even Aaron's beard:
that went down to the skirts
of his garments; As the dew of
Hermon, and as the dew that
descended upon the mountains
of Zion: for there the LORD
commanded the blessings, even
life for evermore. Psalm 133
Prom the doctrine of brotherly
love found In this Psalin, we are
reminded "how good and how
pleasant it is for brethern to
dwell together in unity."
How pleasant! Brotherly love
is pleasing to God; it is pleasing
to all good men; and it brings
deep and abiding joy and peace
to all who practice it.
"Behold, how good!" Since
brotherly love is such a rare
thing, we admire it all the more
when we find such goodness and
pleasantness among men. so much
of heaven on earth!
"It is like the precious oint-
ment" that was used for the an-
nointing Toil. Therefore, we know
that our brotherly love must
come from a pure heart that is
devoted to God.
Brotherly love is fruitful. Like
the dew, it brings an abundance
. of blessings. It cools the scorch-
ing heat of men's tempers like
the dew cools the air and re-
freshes the earth. And it moist-
ens our hearts and prepares them
to receive the seed of God's word.
Where brotherly love reigns,
"the Lord commands the blessing,
even life for evermore." Surely
then if we live in love and peace,
we shall have the God of love
and peace with us now; and then
throughout eternity we shall be
with Him in a world of endless
love and peace! "And now abideth
faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these Is
LOVE!"

you to arise and to be made every whit
whole!'
"Like a bolt of lightning, something
hit me and brought me to my feet.
Brother Roberts then leaned me against
my attendant, as one would a log My
body was still that dead. I had not been
in the healing line, so Brother Roberts
only knew I was an accident case and
did not know about my broken back
Suddenly he said, 'Oh, this woman has
a broken back!' Then he laid his hand
directly over the broken place, praying,
'I command that this back be made
whole and every bone to mend!'
"Just then another bolt of hot, radi-
ant lightning struck me and went
through my body. When I came to, I
was leaping and shouting, and people
were hugging me and weeping. I
thought I was being welcomed into
Heaven, that I had been forgiven by
the Lord and he had translated me into
the heavenly domain. The Lord healed
my back instantly."
Five years after this incident oc-
curred, we decided to publish Anni'«
testimony. Our editor wrote her for
final confirmation of her healing art!
asked her if she were still healed. Her
reply was direct and to the point: "Yc-u
asked me if I am still healed. I am in-
sulted, for the Lord is the same, ari'l
what he does is complete. 1 believe my
back is stronger than it ever was."
So Anni found, as thousands of
others have found in the last 2,00u
years, that Jesus of Nazareth is the
same yesterday, and today, and forever.

FIRST ATOMIC
BOMU DKOi'PKD
The sun shone brightly over
Hiroshima, a city of 350.000 peo-
ple and an army base on .Taoan's
Island of Honshu, on Monday
morning, August 0, 1945. Soon
after eight o'clock a high-flying
B-29 Superfortress droned over
the city. People in Hiroshima be-
low did not look up with much
dread. It was mass raids bv
American bombers, rather than
single planes, they had learned
to fear.
They could not know — no
one knew, not even the crew of
the B-29, the Enola Gay — what
horrible destruction was to be
released upon them in a few
moments. The plane with its
crew of ten headed by Colonel
Paul W. Tibbets, made a straight
run over target Hiroshima At
8:15 Major Thomas Ferebee
pressed the toggle of the bomb
release and a parachute fell from
the B-29 with a 400-pound bomb
swinging from the 'chute.
Colonel Tibbets at the control
swung the plane away. The eyes
of the crew strained through the
plexiglass windows. A few sec-
onds- — then came a terrible
flash of explosive light like
lightning stabbing through the
bright sunlight. The air seemed
to flame. The eyes of the„crew-
men were stung although they
all wore sun plasses.
The blast that came with the
flash reached the Enola Oay and
rocked it like a chip, although
It was several miles away now.
"My God!"' exclaimed the crew-
men. Far below, the city was
swallowed in boiling dust, and •
mushroom column of smoke ipil-
ttof into a eat. billowy cloud,
rose up swiftly to a height of
40,000 feet. The first atomic
bomb had been dropped on a
city!
For hours a dense cloud of
smoke and dust hung over Hiro-
shima When it cleared it was
seen that in less than a second
more than half the city had been
churned into rubble, dust and
ashes Later count by a dazed
city showed 78,150 of Its inhabi-
tants killed, and many thousands
more burned, injured and mis-
sing About 14.000 persons simply
disappeared without trace. Of
those who survived the hellish
blast many were turned into
twisted, half-orazed humans.
Sixteen hours after the bomb-
ing President Truman disclosed
to the world the nature of the
bomb, which had be^p the war's
best kept secret. "It is an atomic
bomb," said the President. "It is
a harnessing of the basic power
of the universe. The force from
which the sun draws its power
has been loosed against those
who brought war to the Far
East . . . We have spent two
billion dollars on the greatest
scientific gamble in history —
and won."
It was revealed that this
first atomic bomb, weighing 400
pounds, packed more power than
20.000 tons of TNT. It would
have required 2,000 B-29s to car-
ry 20,000 tons of TNT.
On August 8, two days after
the first bomb fell, a second and
improved atomic bomb was
dropped on Nagasaki. And a
week later the Japanese agreed
to surrender.

How do you read?
A wealthy visitor to Chicago is
dead after being administered
eight times the dosage of a drug
perscribed for him.
Hospitalized < for treatment of
high blood pressure, George Shwab
Jr., 45, was to receive 12 cubic
centimeters of paraldehyde, a
standard hypnotic. Instead he
was given 96 cubic centimeters.
A student nurse apparently mis-
read the doctor's symbol for a
dram (4cc.) and interpreted it
for an ounce (32cc.) The drug
was given orally and the patient
died a short time later.
Few accounts could better illus-
trate the importance of reading
carefully. If accurate reading Is
vital in interpreting medical sym-
bols, it is far more urgent in
understanding God's divine reve-
lation, the Bible. Here the issue
at stake is our eternal destiny.
The Bible declares that man is
sinful and needs God's forgivness
which is made possible through
belief in the atoning death of
Jesus Christ. Tlu Bible teaches
that heaven and hell are literal
places and that one day each
individual will give account of
himself to God.
Yet -there are many who mis-
read or outrightly deny these
plain statements and set them-
selves up as authorities against
the Word of God. Such action
is as deadly as taking an over-
dose of a powerful drug.
Why not be like those who
"were entirely ready and accepted
and welcomed the message . . .
with inclination of mind and eag-
erness, searching and examining
the Scriptures daily to see if
these things were so" (Acts 17:11,
Amplified New Testiment)?
God's Word imparts spiritual
life if we read it aright.
