These words of king Solomon
apply c¢ven in our present day.
“A true witness will deliver souls.™
Proverbs 14:25. But why should
a soul be delivered? from where?
and how? To meet the demands of
these questions has been the aim
of our humble Kuala Lumpur
evangelistic effort group. The an-
swer came through the presenta-
tion of Jesus our Saviour. By all
rights of justice all arc doomed
to be lost except by His interven-
tion in our behalf. We are told
in Romans 3:23, “Por all have
sinned and come short of the
glory of God.” However, Jesus
condescended to deliver sinful
flesh, He, "Who was delivered for
our offences and was raised again
for our justification.” Romans
4:25. We, His followers should
be witnesses of this fact.
When plans were laid in Kuala
Lumpur for evangelistic meetings
to be held in the English church
of this city we somehow felt these
should be a church affair, so all
church members worked toward
this end. We do thank the Lord
for the faithful Kueala Lumpur few
who are shining hghts in thas capi-
tol. Some arc on tire for God
and their enthusiasm is infectious.
This is especially true of the voung
people of our church. Two boys.
James Wong Kong Hon and Low
Saw Choong. trom the Kishan
Dial School. witnessed for ther
Master in a very wonderful way.
Their courage and faithfulness
should be a challenge to all
Seventh-day Adventist youth. Be-
cause of their consistent Chris-
tian lives these boys were able to
attract more than fifteen of their
classmates to the services nightly.
Some showed great interest. Now
ten of these young men attend all
of our Sabbath services. Surely
God is working a spiritual refor-
mation amongst us.
A church member who works
for the government brought most
of his fellow office workers with
him to the meetings, hence there
was a keen competition between
THE MESSENGER
the two groups. In this way an
encouraging nightly attendance
was maintained through the series
of studies.
These public meetings resulted
in many experiences which shall
be cherished long as an evidence
God's spint is still striving with
the hearts of men for their salva-
tion through human agencies.
A Mr. Noel. a member of the
Vinning Road Chapel, became quite
perturbed over what he heard at
our meetings. When he inquired
of his pastor as to why we wor-
ship on Saturday instead of Sun-
day he answered him with the
often repeated argument that these
are peculiar people who cling to
Jewish fanaticism. He was also
cautioned not to have anything to
do with us. This only aroused
the young man's curiosity. He
visited Mr. John Toh. the church
pastor. on several occasions. Mr.
Noel is well read as one soon ob-
serves in conversing with him. He
has shown great interest as a result
of these contacts with our mes-
sage. May our Master Guide
cad him into all truth!
A quiet young man, a Mr. Low
Kong Seng. is a teacher in train-
mg mn Kuala Lumpur. As a re-
sult of the working of the Holy
Spirit upon his heart he has al-
lowed the good seed to spring
up and bear fruit nn his life. He
1s keeping the Sabbath and has
also started paving his tithe. He
has accepted Leviticus eleven and
is now preparing for baptism. He
is very joyful in His Christian
experience,
l.et us not forget our first love
mm serving the Master. May God
help us to regain it if we have
fost it. or retain it if we have kept
it. and may it ¢ver he our pur-
pose to convey God's salvation to
others.
Gods Wonderful Love

Mrs. Ng Gim Chuan
[ do want to thank my heaven-
Iv Father for all His wonderful
blessings to me. Before 1 oaccept-
od fesus as my Friend and Saviour
I was far from being happy. Nor
did T know how to live a hfe that
would bring the happiness 1 so
craved.
One of my granddaughters came
to visit me and observing mv
state of unhappiness said,
“Grandma, I know how you can
be made to rejoice. Many people
in Pontian have been made so
happy attending Mr. Lee's meet-
ings and hearing the messages he
is teaching.” 1 understood that
the truths he was presenting were
found in the Bible but 1 did not
have a copy of this marvelous
book which would bring such hap-
piness to one. Thinking my grand-
daughter might be able to find me
one | asked. “Could you not sup-
ply me with this book?” She did
this and what a wonderful help
it has been to me. Now [| was
ready to receive instruction from
Mr. Lee. 1 went to see him and
told him 1 wanted to believe God
and accept Him into my life but
I did not know the way. He
talked to me about God's love
and about Him being the true
God of heaven, whom 1 should
worship and not the gods made
by men, of wood and stone.
Then one day Mr. and Mrs. Lee
visited me. While there 1 gave
them my idol. the one | had kept
in my home and which 1 had wor-
shipped without receiving the hap-
piness and joy that 1 so longed
for. Since then Mr. Lee's daugh-
ter has been taking me to the
services. My heart was won and |
decided to give myself to the true
God of heaven and to aceept Jesus
Christ as my Saviour. After mak-
ing my decision to become a part
of the true Church of God [I told
my husband that | had decided
to become a Christian. This made
him very unhappy but | felt |
could not go back to my old way
of life no matter how much | was
opposed by those 1 love. So |
was baptized November 19. 1956.
Such peace of mind | have had
since I have been traveling the
heavenly way, and O how happy
I have been!
Many years before my conver:
sion 1 had suffered greatly trom
severe headaches. I do want to
thank the tord for His healing
power for the headaches are all
gone now and too. my oldest son
suffered from trachoma and stom-
ach trouble for one and a half
years. The doctors could do little
to help him. I prayed for him
so often and God heard my pray-
ers and healed him! How thank:
ful IT am for such a prayer hear-
ing and answering God. He as
so good and kind to my family
vet my husband does not believe
the Truth. Do pray for his con-
