READ: Acts 1:1-8


	        LET THE WHOLE WORLD HEAR!

       		  Go into all the world          
		  and preach the gospel
           	   to every creature.                
		     - Mark 16:15

Fritz  Kreisler  (1875-1962),  the  world-famous  violinist,
earned  a fortune with his concerts and compositions, but he
generously gave most of it away.  So, when he discovered  an
exquisite  violin on one of his trips, he wasn't able to buy
it.

Later, having raised enough money to meet the asking  price,
he returned to the seller, hoping to purchase that beautiful
instrument.  But to his great dismay it had been sold  to  a
collector.   Kreisler  made  his way to the new owner's home
and offered to buy the violin.  The collector  said  it  had
become  his  prized  possession  and  he  would not sell it.
Keenly disappointed, Kreisler was about to leave when he had
an  idea.   "Could I play the instrument once more before it
is consigned to silence?" he asked.  Permission was granted,
and  the  great  virtuoso  filled  the room with such heart-
moving music  that  the  collector's  emotions  were  deeply
stirred.   "I  have  no  right  to  keep that to myself," he
exclaimed.  "It's yours, Mr. Kreisler.   Take  it  into  the
world, and let people hear it."

To sinners saved by grace, the gospel is like the  rapturous
harmonies  of  heaven.   We have no right to keep it to our-
selves.  Jesus tells us to take it out into the  world,  and
let it be heard.

Author:  Vernon C. Grounds

	I'll tell the world how Jesus saved me 
	And how He gave me  a life brand-new; 
	And I know that if you trust Him 
	That all He gave me He'll give to you.  -Fox
