Mr. Bolster said that the Episcopal church does not sup. port its seminaries from a na. tional budget, but each of the 11 schools is dependent on vol. untary gifts to meet its budg. et. The Church Divinity school the seminary of the Pacific bal sin, is asking the West Coast Province to give 581,000 on Theological Education Sunday this year. This will be added to in come from tuition and a small endowment to meet the 1961 budget of $226,363. This mon. ey goes only for the operation of the school, and any devel opment in capital improve ments has to come from added gifts. A seminary education takes three years on a graduate level. What Does The Bible Say? Christ, the world's Redeemer, refused heavenly wealth and glory, so that "though He was rich He became poor." 2 Cor 8:9. While on earth He suf fered ill treatment in order to accomplish his mission. John 3:17, "For God sent not His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him." He de feated satan in the wilderness, and by casting out demons, shedding His own blood for the remission of sins, and conquer ing death by His resurrection. In baptism He completed the sinner's deliverance by trans lating Him from the power of darkness into His own kingdom. Gal. 3:27, Col. 1:13. God's law that He gave to Is rael through Moses did not have the promise of eternal life, Heb. 11. It was not for that purpose, it was temporary law lo prepare man to receive the Lamb of God, who was to take away the sins of the world. We read that in 2 Cor. 3:7-9. We also read in Rom. 10:4 that Christ was the end of the law.
