When the child becomes of age, the payments will be made to him. Can a serviceman's insurance be made to more than one person and the payments divided? A. Yes. National Service Life Insurance may include more than one beneficiary, provided they fall into these classes: husband or wife, child, parent, brother or sister. Q.

My husband is in the Army. Our baby was born four months ago and. we have just filed the application for his allowance. Will the payments date from the baby's birthday or from the time the application was filed? A. Payments will date from the first of the month in which the baby was born.

Other attributes of God may be found in the book of nature. There we find that God is powerful, orderly, wise, but nowhere in nature is it written that God can save a man from his sin. We find that only in the Bible, God's written Word as it reveals Jesus Christ the Saviour who is the Living Word. I. The Eternal Glory of God's Kingdom (w.

10-13). The kingdom of God refers to His reign over all things and beings, but with special reference to those who are willingly subject to Him and eager to live for His glory. Everything in God's creation is to be lifted up in praise of that kingdom. All His works shall praise Him. They reveal Him in part, but even that limited revelation is glorious.

How does He do it? Through the ministry of His Holy Word. Therein man finds salvation and satisfaction. The Bible is the light that shines upon his way. It is his comfort in sorrow and his strength in temptation. It exhorts and encourages, convicts and cures.

The Lord, who "is nigh unto all them that call upon him" (v. 18), is able to save because He is "righteous in all his ways and holy in all his works" (v. 17). Only a just and holy God can deal with sin, and yet only a merciful God would provide redemption; but in our God mercy and truth meet (Ps. 115: Ps.

103). He is both "just and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus" (Rom.
