When we invite Jesus Christ into our lives, God Himself takes up‘ residence in our souls. The Bible says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he isa new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (2 Corinthians 5:17). This has been the experience of countless people throughout history, and it is true today. Jesus Christ can change your life also. He — and He alone — can forgive you of your sins, and restore you to a personal and living relationship with Christ. Let Him come into your life by faith. Your selfish‘nature may be at the center of your life now, but if you will allow Christ to be Lord of your life, He will begin to change and remold you. No, the whole world will never come to Christ. But millions do know His power, and millions more come to know Him every year. And some day Christ will come again to abolish all the sin and greed and hatred which mark our world. Will you be ready for that day? games 2 oven This is the. fourth in a series from a new book ‘’The Paladin,'’ by Brian Garfield and a man who calls himself ‘Christopher Creighton’’ — and who says that the events in sed upon his true,.boyhood adventures as “s secret agent.

One of the greatest truths of the Bible is that God is both willing.and able to change the human heart. cohs This is actually what the Gospel of Christ is all abot, The Bible says the human race has a ‘deep-seated spiritual problem. We are alfentated from God, and our whole tendeficy is to live selfish and ungodly lives. walsy The Bible says, “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who.can understand it?” But-it goes on to say, “I the Lord search the heart” (Jeremiah 17:9,10). Reasonable Rates Mostly with full kitchens — at no extra cost. “The Dutch Nuns" of + Rome are something to write home about — and most tourists do. For non-Catholics ‘ visiting the Eternal City, the ® Duteh Nuns provide free " tours of Rome, usually last- * ing three-and-one-half hours, and run a moderately priced hotel-pension just off the oval {| shaped Piazza Navona that * is, in these days of high costs, one of the best buys today. The Dutch Nuns are the Ladies of Bethany who, when they first started their order in 1912 in Amsterdam, were given a special dispensation ? by the Pope to wear modern dress instead of standard ’ habits — unheard of in those * days. Wearing ordinary street clothes, makeup, jew- elry and high heels to suit the * occasion, the unusual Catho- _ lic order is dedicated to help- * ing non-Catholics. Located on the fourth floor ‘of the old Pamphili Palace at No. 30 Via Santa i Maria dell'Anima, the Foyer + Unitas (as the nuns call their place} can accommodate . about 20 tourists in its plea- sant spotless rooms. Most guests are Protestants or Jews — but the free tours are open to everyone. These tours begin every morning at 9:30 a.m. (except Mondays) and are designed for visitors with a genuine ; curiosity about the history and culture of Rome. Chang- . ing their itinerary almost « every day, the sisters might for Dutch Nuns specialty Over 250 free tours of Rome visitors who want to see all the sights of Rome in a few days. BE “What we usually. at- tempt on our tours,” explains the Mother Superior,:.Ter- esita Loeff — who opened the pension in 1962 and now. has three other sisters working on her team, —-“is to’ see places that are not easy for people to visit by themselves, though we manage to take in the more standard tourist at- tractions, sooner or later — ‘like St. Peter's, the Sistine Chapel. and the Colosseum. All of our tours.are done on foot: or by each’ participant paying his own bus fare.” None of the Ladies of ‘Bethany guides: has'a‘back- ground in art history, so all of them have done a consider- able amount of private study, | ing in order to ¥egale ‘their guests with stories and anec- dotes about the sites visited. One type of tour target the nuns admit being partial to is any site involving a woman saint. For instance, one might be a trip to the main church of Rome's vener- able Trastevere quarter of the Church of St. Cecilia, who is the patron saint’ of music and who was in her day a colorful character of that old neighborhood.

Before sending him across the Irish Sea, however, his London masters had a cyanide suicide capsule titted in a rear tooth, “if the SS or Gestapo take you prisoner this will give you the choice etween an excruciating prolonged death and a quick merciful one,” Owl, Christopher's Uncle John and espionage link with Churchill had told him. ‘ By the time he reached the Ger- mans, the state of affairs had changed dramatically since his last contact two years earlier. : Admiral Canaris, the non-Nazi head of the Abwehr intelligence network who had trusted Christopher when he brought his information about the Diep- pe landings, had been sacked: : Now the SS was in charge of in- telligence gathering and they did not fail for the young British double agent's story.
