Naile d to the Cross
F . n. 1\1 eyer says that he once hecame
so ahsorhed in writing a sermon about
the C ross of Chri st that. whi le he was
drcssil1g hefore the mirror. he exclaimed ,
" J Jave T ever been on the cross? Yes, T
wa s potentially there with Christ. nut
ill my OWll experience, have T felt the nails
in my hands, the spea r in Illy side, the
C1"OWl1 of thorns on my brow?"
T hen he prayed , as he stretched h is

Jeslls to the c ross 1" It was as though he
saw himself ;lcwa11y hanging with Jesus
011 t he cross, until the peace of God so
fitled hi s soul that hi s ministrv was wi th
greater power after that exper·ience.
Have we crucified the affections a nd the

Love Fulfils th e Law
An int imate friend of Tellnyson set
himself to find out all the rules of his
versification, and collected from his poems
an immense number of laws and examples.
"Look herc," S<'lid the friend, " what
wonderful laws vou observed 1"
"It 's all true," replied the poet. "1 do
obsen'e them, but T never knew it."
A feebler poet would have known a
great deal more ahout metrical rule and
how painfully he managed to comply with
it, but in the fllllne!;s of hi5 gellius Tenny·
son observed all the wonderful hws, be.ing unconsciOlls of them .
It is much like this with helieving souls
filled with the power and lo\"{~ of Christalmost unconsciollsly they observe the
highest law in its manifold obligat ions .
Thr noblest impulses of the sou l freely
fulfil themselves, and in fulfilling them·
"cl\"(~s fulfil the Jaw. The law gendereth
to bondage, hut ill transcending love to
God and man the law becomes the very
poetry and Illusic of life,

LING KUANG SCHOOL
Jame. E. Baker, Sou l h China
• EVER SINCE SOUlhwtst China and the
Yunnan Prm';uce btcame Communist territory
[;/ost November mally friend s in tlie homeland
have been a~king, "Whal about Ling Kuang
Aib[e Institute?" \\le wish to answer that (juestion, and also to [et you know how tht r.()rd has
kd us during this past difficult year.
For many months prior to Iht ch3nl;t in
gover11lnents it seemed 1)lain 10 all of 115 in
Yunnan that the existing govermnem was
doollwd; IIcverthc!e~5, we never ceased to hope
that somehow the tide of events lIould change,
and in spite of the unceftainty we tritd to conti nue our WOrk as mua1.
\\'hen Ling Kllang closed at the end of the
tcrm laq JIIIIl' it \\as by faith that we told
the ~tudt:I1IS to rtturn for classes in Sept~1l1ber.
\Vc m\.l\'cd fmm our rented (jllarters to the unfinished buildings on our Own property. \\le
had bt:cll badng difficulty with our contractor
for mOnths. It se~med Illat the bui1dillg_~ wOli ld
lIevtr be completed. By then we had decided that
..... e would not stay behind to work among
the Communists. (:\1)' parents and several
others were staying.) We did walll to get th~
buildings for the school finished and the kga l
mattcrs regarding them stilled before we made
OU f move. Each momh brought the Red :mny
closer alld by the first of September mo~t of
the mis~ionar ies had left the province.
\\'e organized an all-Chinese committ(,e to
manage the affairs of the Bible School ill our
ab~ence. Ku H\\ai Kung. who had already
proved invaluable as our dean, became the new
principal. \Ve were than kful that we had such
a fin e, responsible man to leave in charge.
Page Six
By the first of October the buildings we re
finally finished. Legal matters which had been
so unsettled were successfully handled to completion. \Ve nee:led teachers for the new school
year and just at that time God sent thelll. Our
students came back afte r a summer of acti\'e
gospel work and many new ones entered.
It was very hard to think of leaving, but \\e
knew that we cou ld no t stay and on October
lJ we said goodbye to th~ s~hool and to my
moth~r, and took a plane for Hong Kong. My
fath~r was away in trib;il cOlllitry at the time.
\\le had planned that should we ever have
to lea\'e China we \\"o\lld go to Indonesia. but
two things changed our plans: one was that our
visas for Indonesia had nOt COl11t; and the
other was that we received all imitation to help
ill Ecclesia Bible Institute in Iiong Kong. an
Assembliu of God school of 60 studeTlls which
had e,·acuated from Canton. \\'c accepted the
opport unity to teach in the Ecclesia Bible Institute, and to continue working among Chin~se
students, using th~ langtl3ge we had already
learned, as from the Lord. \ \le have found milch
profitable work to do in conncction with the
school.
\Vhat news have we had from Kunll1ing? ,\ ir
transportation was cut off when tIle go\'efllillellt
changed, but mail has started to com(' o\·erland.
\V hen the YUllnan pro\'incial government descried to the Communists. the Nationali~ts
bombed Kunming, the capital. Letters confirmed
the newspaper accounts of the air raids. The
Ling Kuang Bible Ins tit ute was in the \'icinity
of the airport, and it was feared that the
school would be hit. Between 200 and JOO COIll-
mumst soldier) took (·ver the Bibl~ School at
one lime and Ihe elltire student body and staU,
numbering mOre than SO persom. had to leave.
My mother opened her home to them. The
entire student body and staff wue in her home
for more than two weeks. Som~ sta)'ed longer.
Hundreds of penons were killed in Kunm inc
during the air :aids. The heaviest bombini ,
it seemed, took place on Xew Ytar's Day.
All but JO soldiers ~oon left the Bible School
premises, so the students and faculty members
.... ere able to mOve back and to ftSUme classes.
No particular dall1a~c had been done to the
buildings. Except for trenches ..... hich had been
dug in th~ gardens. there was little evidence that
so many soldiers had been around. This ceftainly was an ans"er to prayer.
For a time it was difficult to send moocy
l{Jr the su pport of Ling Kuall!l'. and food WilS
so short the students and teaChefs alike fasttd
311d prayed for sev~ral days. We have not ~d
any difficulty getting money through sinc~. We
want to continue support and arc thankful for
those who are st ill sending gHu for this Bible
School that is carrying on behind the lines.
We are told that there has been a continuous
spirit of revival in the school this y~a r . Thu5
far the government has not hindered the acthities of the school. nor the church wor k.
For those who arc acquainted with my parents'
work I would like to add that my fathe r ~J
just completed seven months' succes,ful itinerary
in tribal areas and is probably balk in K Unming
now. H e and my mother plan to cont inue in
Yunnan. T he period of freedom to preach the
Word is not likely to last 101lg. When it is
o'·er lhere is no good prospect for transportation
out of the country. Right now God is gIVJng
them (and others, too, who staytd in Yunnan)
a very rich harvest of souls.

Famine
In
China
The worst famine in more than iO years is
now creeping across North and Central China,
according to informa.tion from reliable sourc~s.
Fifty million Chinese arc facing starvation. The
people are eating grass mixed with mud, bark,
leaves, and roots to prolong their lives. The
death rate already is quite high. Among those
starving and facillg ~ taT\'a ti o n are many Christians of ollr Assemblies of God churches of
China.
W e canllot at this time send iood and clothing
into China, but we do have means of gettilll'
money into the country for our Christians, and of
contro1Jing its distri bution .
In the past we ha\'e gi\'en of ollr resources
to bring the Christians to a knO\\ledge of the
Lord Jesus Christ. \Ve lIeed now to I)reserve
their lives as witnesses for Him to their fdlo wmen.
\Ve are certain that thcre are those who will
want to come to the help of the Chinese Chri.·
tians with their offerings. ~ Iay there be
generous giving that li\'es may be sa\'ed and
the gospel extended. Scnd you r oifering to the

lIeSli, tile SI\·(·ttneH, the brokenness, the fulness,
the joy, lIor the passion for souls that we had
when we r~,-ei\"ed the B:lptislU wilh Ille lIoly
Ghost." And the thing thaI IIlU~t greatly grieve
the Lord is Ihat we reSQrt to natural forces
to try to rcmedy the situation when God desires
that it be :lecomplished through prayer. llow
'Creat is the need for intercessors in Ihis day.
A el.'T!ain I\oman, who has been considered
a ~uc("rs~ful evangelist because she is a Sl)1endid
preacher, i~ also great in prayer. In a morning
prayer meeting, year~ ago, she became J)rostrale
\HIder the S]lirit of ill\t'rcession at about
10:30 o'clock and stayt'd there until J:OO p.m.
Sometimes she ullered not a sound, sometimes
there \\a5 a. 11100ln, sometimes a few words,
but during a gre.il.t part of the time she was
si!l.'nt hdore God. Laler, in speaking of it, she
said, "Oruther, when I felt myself c<ll11ing back,
J said. '0 Jesus. must I look out upon the
world :tj:;:ain?'" It caused her much grief. Oh,
the suffering of intercession! But also Ihl.'
wonder of it 1 , am thinking of Him as He,
The Iioly Spiri t, is directing our prayers and
moving the heart of Father God 10 hear Ihl.'lnl
I have been Ihinking about the missionariesthose who are guing through hard things.
There are oth{TS who need prayer. Souls need
TO tJ.e saved. Many of your loved ones need
to be s;",<,d. Many young l~ople have not consecrated their lives to God :1I1d net'd help in praying through IIntil all is on the altar. God wants
our dear young people for His ~ervice. \Ve 111l1st
stand with them in prayer.
Then there is need of .. great redval, both
at home and abroad. \Ve thank God for a lIew
moving of the I loll' Spirit in reyiva l power in
these days. It is WOnderful to heat of souls
i>ting savt:c..I and hal)tized with the 110ly Ghost,
~ick hodies being heakd. and the saints having
• gl.'lIcral quickening. l3ut in the midst of it we
arc eonseioliS that Satan is enc..leavoring 10 PUI
forth a spurious work-something that looks
real hu t is not genuil1e-an imitation of Ihal
which God purposes fOr the last days. There
is a nerd for united prayer among the J)eople
of God Ix-eause of this onslaughl of the enemy.
God is looking for those who are willing to be
subjectl.'d to His Spirit. willing to be weighted
with intercession until He accomplishes His purpose in Ihe world. \Ve are in the closing hours
of this age, a time whell God expects us 10 do

SOllll.'thiug quick ly. This call s ·.ould Ix- burning
in our souls.
1t is not easy 10 intercede for others. It
rtquires a real purpose of heart and determination to press one's way through thc opposing
forces of Satan \\ ho wvuld ke<:p t\'ery one of
God's saints from the place of prayer ii possible. One. must come with a hear t open for the
burden God would lay upon him. for only as
God placcs the blHdl.'n a re lI"e abll.' to assume it.
A young man once informed his mother t hat
she was not to call him for meals or disturb him
in any way, for he ])Ianned to spend the day in
prayer. lIe wen t to his room. carefully arranged
his trOU5ers so they would 1I0t get wrinkled.
and went to prayer. He prayed for his faill er
and mother, for the entire family, for his
chuTch, the emirl.' communit)". the nation. for
the missionaries, and though t thaI he had been
praying all day. but when lie took Ollt his
watch he f/)und Illat he had been praying only
fifteen minutts!
How long 11al'e you prayed today?
~Iy
heart goes 0\\1 for our pn:ciO\lS minist<:rs, staggering so undtr the burdens of the church that
many do not find time 10 pray. Some have
shelves loaded with books frOIl1 which they have
made notes which they can grab UI), and so rush
.to church with a borro\\td message. Some arc
going ouly on 1l101ll(:!I!UUl. The actil'iti<:s of life
keep people from intercessory prayer and hinder
God's work.
The young man we were speaking of went
again to his knees. He said, "0 God, ] Hill
pray all day." Then God btgan to work. Soon
the Spirit began to pray. and as he yielded the
Spirit prayed thlough him. Tllel1 he had no
trouble to pray all dar, for the Spirit llTared.
"Likewise tile Spiril also helpeth Ollf in.
firmi ties." He wants to bring liS into a life of
intercessory praye r that shall bear fnlit both
now and throughout <:tl.'rnity . ./I!a)' we heed t his
