also, must struggle
against that cancer. Others do too.
That cancer is far worse in human
lives and minds than any physical
cancer of the body. That cancer has
prod uced every evil in human
lives- in yours and mine-today.
We are all victims of the worst
cancer. Only, many don't recog–
nize the disease or how serious it
is unless it is spiritually healed.
You can't heal yourself of this
fatal disease.
But with God's help itcan be con–
quered and healed. How? By asking
God to give us the spirit of repen–
tance (Romans 2:4,
11
T imothy
2:25), then repenting of our wrong
attitudes and sins. Sin is the trans–
gression ofGod's law
(1
John 3:4).
When we repent, we repent of the
evil attitudes and ways- the spiri–
tual cancers-which we have
allowed or actively pursued in our
lives. T hese spiritual cancers have
been injected into the minds of all
humanity in varying degrees by an
unseen power called in the Bible by
the name Satan. Satan "broad–
casts" his cancerous attitudes into
unsuspecting minds. Such attitudes
and moods are reinforced by wrong
infl uences or examples in one's
environment (Ephesians 2:2-3).
We put these cancers of the
human spirit under the blood of
Christ for fo rgiveness and then
grow and overcome past wrong atti–
tudes and ways by the help and
power ofGod's Holy Spirit.
What's the worst cancer, the
most terminal and ugly of can–
cers? The cancer of
unrepented
sin!

physical life and to death . for all

T hank God, ·Grandma Peterson

She on ly died of cancer of her
physical body, not cancer of her
spirit!

Recently the Pope told an
assembly of European journalists
it was their respons ibi lity to help

T he Soviet Union's

is virtually unchallenged.
Yet, its economy rests on feet of
clay. Moscow just may not be able
to prevent the unraveling of much
of its Eastern Europeao empire,
beginning now in Poland.
T he Soviet Union, says author

Asan example, the Soviets permit–

"Classic Europe" is nothing
other than a new EurQpean align–
