who radiate a confidence and purpose in life unknown to the newcomer's prior sheltered existence. Adjustment doesn’t come easy for the young student, however, and even the promise of romance seems destined to deepen his frustrations. But three words from the Bible come into focus. Faith. Hope, Love. In new perspective he sees God and the Christian life refreshingly relevant and v alid in the kind of world young people face today. The discovery is costly, but there is promise of enduring rewards. “3’’ is produced by Ken Anderson Films, of Winona Lake, Indiana.

Devotions from The Upper Room Read John 14-7 An highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness. - saiah 35:8. Highways, freeways, speedways, clearways roads. The inadequacy of roads is a major problem for most nations. There are now superhighways that snake across thousands of miles of earth. The Princess Highway of Australia was the longest road in the world until the United States built the famous Alaskan Highway. However, these thoroughfares are of minor value to the real growdh of man when compared with some other “ways.” Isaiah speaks of a “highway” that “shall be called The way of holiness.” Many travelers today are stumbling along the path of life. In search of life’s purpose and desiring to find it, they try devious paths, but fail to go via the narrow gate and the hard way which Jesus offers and which leads to life. Have we 'set our feet to follow the Christ who is. Himself, the Way? Prayer: Lord Jesus, we are simple souls. Sometime we do miss the way and lose too much of life and truth. Help us to nurture a robust faith and a firm tread that we cease not our following after Thee. Amen. Thought for the day: This day I will step out with Christ and for Christ. Arthur Bottrell (Daw Park, South Australia).
