Spring 1978
Personally Speaking

Dear Reader,

Again it is spring, and new life is appearing everywhere. An inspiring Word in the Song of Solomon reads: “My beloved spake, and said to me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of the birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away” Song of Solomon 2:10-13. Spring always signifies a time of fresh vision and challenge. Life coming forth from that which was dead. The Lord is calling His people to new heights of vision and understanding at this time. It is our prayer that you may see Him more clearly in this season, and blossom forth in your spiritual life to a more beautiful expression of the Christ within.

The response to and interest in the Banner has been very encouraging, and in this we rejoice, that we may have a part in ministering to the Body of Christ. However, the fall and winter issues of the Banner were late in being sent out due to problems and breakdowns in our printing equipment. We are prayerfully looking to the Lord for His provision in sending forth the Word of the Lord through the Banner, and in replacing the equipment.

May our Lord continually guide and bless you in coming to know Him better.
