"We ought to ask ourselves where the Consultation is now. The years of this body’s existence have been a revolutionary time., so v.e want to bring you, from the standpoint of the world, of particular groups, and of the Consultation itself, a look at where we are now.’’ This is expected to be “a different kind of plenary,” Dr. Beazley said. ‘ We are excited about it, and feel that it might move in many directions.” Similar expectations were voiced by the Rev. Dr. Paul A. Crow, Jr., general secre tary of the Consultation. '•We want this meeting to lie a moment of candid appraisal of whore we are,” he said. "We hope to find an honest assess ment of what the church-world situation is now.

How blessed to know that the Author of the bkssed Book which Ims changed so many hearts and lives and homes, is ‘‘the Spirit of truth.” The Spirit did not, of course, reveal all truth at one time. MEDITATION ASERMONETTK BY COLIN DOUGLAS ‘•Cast thy burden upon Je hovah, and He will sustain thee,” Psalms It. is amazing how quickly and easily life begins to fall into an orderly pattern once we realize the fact that God has given us the ability to meet all the demands made upon us. Everyone at times experi ences a feeling of inadequacy, a feeling that you cannot cope with a certain situation or prob lem that has arisen in his life. But, we must remember that we were all born with the God given ability to meet any de mand made upon us. We are all God’s children, beloved by Him, and He is always with us. As we accept these realiza tions and begin to take one thing at a time each day, giv ing it our undivided atten tion, we shall find that we have a definite sense of accomplish ment at the end of the’ day. We shall see a pattern of order takens from in our lives. Ten sions will be eased. We shall feel fully adequate to meet what ever lies before us. A heiofni way of always bo b’inning each day is with a short period of prayer, a short peri od of “talking with God.” He will always comfort us. He will always uplift us. He will give us understanding. He is with us, even though we may have no awareness of His presence. He will bless our hearts with whatever is needed of strength and power. This regular morn ing practice or prayer and meditation will give us the inner quiet and pose we need for o r d e r l y accomplishment through our days. We are then undisturbed by circumstances or appearances. By the light of Gixi’s spirit we behold alt people and ail things as they are in His eyes, not as they would seem to be to us in the general human way of seeing and judging. God is glorified through us as we operate under His lov ing direction, mid out life is consequently a rich, produc tive, and happy one. "Thou wilt keep ldm i:i per fect peace whose mind is stav ed on Thee, because lie trust ed) In Thee. Trust thee in Jehovah.” Isaiah 20:3,1, ‘‘The law was given by Moses,*' later the prophosls were penned by men of Gckl as thev were “moved by the Holy spirit" and still later our lan a. utter ed truth ‘ kept secret since the world began. ' But even our 1 .leased Lord while on earth, did not lead His followers into all the truth which God would have His peo ple know. ‘T have yet many things to say unto you,” He said, ••but ye cannot bear them now. Howbelt, when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:12, 131 Hut when the Spli it came at Pentecost, did He immediatelv load the disciples into all truth? Xot. yet. They still proclaim ed the prophetic program, the message which our Lord had taught them and committed to them (Luke 24;4.~; Acts 1:2,3). It was not until some time later that the glorified Lord re vealed “God’s purpose and grace” to and through the Apos tle Paul, and the Spirit in turn caused others to understand it (Gal. 2:2,7,9; Eph, 3:5). The glorious message re vealed to Paul Is the capstone of divine revelation, thus he says that it was given to him to I 'fulfill (complete) the Word of God” (Col. 1:24). St. Paul wrote more books of the Bible than any other writ er and in them we have the fulness of divine truth as God would have us know and under stand It. < « / lar-i ) CT3 C 3 k erv) An investment in You / uiure d‘A' l'EKli niHUMi ; promises are proclaimed from the pulpit by edifying of God’s people.
