Said Grandfather Gay on a Thanksgiving Day, "If you want to be happy then give
something away." But it is not what we give but what we share, for the gift without the giver is bare. As though it were Jesus saying, "He who gives himself with his Alms feeds three himself, his hungering neighbor and Me." So let us share our gifts and thanks with those of Europe who gave us our first Thanksgiving Day. Also those who kept

Dear Christian- Friends

"Herewith enclosed lessons 15-26 in your Bible correspondence course. May I say now what a real blessing these lessons have been to me. They have not only taken me through these many books of God's word but they have given me the definition of things I found hard to understand. Perhaps the greatest of these have been those emphasizing baptism by immersion . I had been believing in sincerity that sprinkling with water and a Christ ening was equal to immersion. By these letters I come to realize that baptism by immersion was necessary. I can joyously say that I have now undergone this baptism, I accepted Christ almost
two years ago. And with joy and happiness I strive to follow him. I was immersed Sunday, Sept. 1,1957.

With reference to your advanced study course on the Book of Acts I would be happy to enroll as a stu dent. May the Lord richly bless and reward you.

THE FIRST PROGRAM

The first Gospel program sponsored . Gospel Broadcasting Mission went on the

air for Radio Luxembourg in Luxembourg, Europe, on April 6, 1952. Each Monday for 5% years the Word has gone forth. Who would dare to estimate the amount of good from the seed sown; hearts uplifted, evil quenched, and souls saved by the study and obedience of the Word as they have been pointed to the Word and the Plan of salva
tion.

Informative tracts have been sent out

by G.B.M,, and copies of the broadcasts for closer study. All letters are answered and requested information given. An informa

tive pamphlet called "LISTEN" is printed and sent out at intervals, telling what is
being done and how. Read the last

"LISTEN" for more facts and interesting letters from listeners. Read the 12 page "LISTEN" of March, 1955, for the history of Gospel Broadcasting Mission and for in formation and references concerning the

There are said to be 80,000,000 Radios in

Central Europe in the coverage of this pro gram over Radio Luxembourg. There are 50,000,000 English speaking people. It is esti mated that 2,000,000 listeners listen to the broadcast each week.
