FORETOLD By PROPHECY
Jesus Our Redeemer described
this reigning chaos as sign
that His coming was near, even
at the door. There shall be

The president Of Columbia
University is just ont with the
statement that education today
lacks a vision and a discipline
which Is leading TO crime and
lawiesSness. Their contempt for
the supernatural, their hostility
to the inspiration Of the Bible,
their loss of the sense Of ac.
cOuntability have undermined the
respect Of children for parents,
Of servants for employers. and
Of people for their rulers.
Last, but not least, is the at.
