Word of God. He tells me that

as J? Tucker, .husband of Mrs.
Joyce Collins Tucker, and son of
Mrs. Ima Gertrude Tucker, all of
Silsbee, was recently assigned to
the Antiaircraft Artillery Replace-
ment Training Center at Ft Bliss,
Texas, for his second eight-week
cycle of basic training.
During this second phase of
basic training he will be expertly
schooled in -therfiring of light and
medium antiaircraft artillery
weapons at low-flying and high
altitude aerial targets on the one-
and-one-half million acre Fort
Bliss ranges. He will also be
familiarized with the various elec-
tronic epu’pment used by the
AAA-RTC.
Upon completion of this cycle
he will graduate at a formal
parade and retreat ceremony, and
then be eligible for assignment in
a permanent antiaircraft artillery
unit.

"if It D r:"
f.’ i iy |fs of the Bible can well be
expressed in the words "Only
when " Three times Jesus used
that fateful word in the hours when
lie was face to face with his des-
tiny, when he was facing the Cross
These Ifs had to do with himself,
they also had to do with his
friends Not only his friends there
end then, but i.-.w $nd here,—in
short, with every Christian. One oi
there Ifs is in his saying about the
grain of wheat. Save the grain,
cover it with protective varnish,
keep It in a tin box, put it in a
bank vault,—you may save the
grain but you will destroy Its life,
there will be no other grains. Put
the grain of wheat in the ground
where it can rot, and In a few
weeks that grain will be gone, it
will have died; but where it died
there will be a green blade grow-
ing, a blade that one day will be
a wheat stalk bearing many
grains. If — only when — there Is
■death can there be life. Jesus
meant that for himself; if he had
refused the cross he would not
have been the "Prince of Life" and
6aviour. He meant tt for us; those
persons who mean most in tha
lives of others, those vital person-
alities who by a kind of bright con-
tagion bring vitaUty wherever
they go,—those are the very per-
sons who are least careful for
their own selves. Wherever people
are scrambling every man for him-
self, there you have strife and de-
struction.
• • •
"If Any One Serves Me—"
Another If is in the saying. “If
any one serves me, he must follow
me.” Jesus did not mean follow
at a long and respectful distance.
He meant to climb where he
climbed, dare what he dared.
Jesus had put this in even strong-
er. words some time before His
follower, he said, must take his
own cross every day and follow
Him Christians are rather too
fond of looking at the cross, and
letting their Christianity go at that
But the Christian life is not like
looking at a show, not even at a
tragedy We see the cross in every
Christian church somewhere, per-
haps even tlie building' is in _stl:e
shape of a cross. But what Jesus
asked for in his followers was not
-j-msr "befww-thrriT--eyw-tnJt""1" ~
cross in their lives To put it quite
simply: Christian life, when it is
real, is a life of sacrifice for
others It is a life in which seif
comes last, not first. A doctor said
to his patient: "I think most peo-
ple are Christia/s, don't you""
That depends on what you mean
by Christian! If you mean by that,
some one who admires Jesus, yes,
most people are Christians But if
you mean what Jesus meant, one
who actually follows Jesus, how
many Christians are Christian?
• • •
"If I Be Lifted Up"
The third If is in the saying "If
I be lifted up I will draw alt men
unto me.” We may suppose a hard-
boiled practical man of today, or
of Jesus’ day.—possibly Judas was
such a person—asking Jesus, Just
Why do you go on with this Idea of
the cross? Why let yourself in for
trouble? What do you get out of it?
If we let Jesus speak for himself,
we know that he no more went to
the cross to "get something out of
It” for himself than he did any-
thing else for selfish reasons. He
did not live, he did not die, for
hi* own benefit. His life and his
death were all of one piece; his
death was but the final outpouring
of a life that had been pouring
itself out into others and for others,
from the beginning. He did not
go through Gethsemane and Cal-
vary in order to be praised, or to
acquire merit, or to win a place
among the world’* heroes. He went
,to the cross, a* he had lived every
day. to "draw all men” to him-
aell
devil. For our wrestling is not
against flesh and blood, but
against . . . the spiritual hosts of
wickedness in the heavenlies.” In
1 Pet. 5:8-9. “Be sober, be watch-
ful: your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seek-
ing whom he may devour; whom
withstand steadfast in the faith."
From these passages it is con-
cluded " that Satan’s freedom to
come and go, in the heavenlies
and in the earth has not changed
since the time of Job. However,
there will come a day when the
devil and his angels will be ban-
ished. For there is no question
concerning the power of God over
Satan. The only question is:
when?
We have the promise of God
that in His Holy wisdom that day
will corny indeed. Rev. 12:7-9,
“And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon; and the dragon
fought and his angels, and pre-
vailed not: neither was there any
place found any more in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast
out, that old serpent, called the
devil, and Satan, which deceiveth
the whole world: he was cast out
into the earth and his angels were
cast out with him.”
It is evident that you are one
of those whom the devil has de-
ceived. Get a Bible, read it and
believe what it says.
