of our New World King have surpassed immeasurably anything this old world could have offered. Having spent some fifteen years in Malaya, it has become home to us. We love the missionary work and we like our assignment. Our sincere desire is to continue to be used by Jehovah in expanding his happy, peaceful and united family in this part of the field.
Are you a young man or young woman dedicated to Jehovah but undecided about your choice of a career? Let me urge you to choose the pioneer service, making it your purpose in life to have a larger share in Jehovah’s vindication. As for me, “What shall I repay to Jehovah for all his benefits to me?” With the psalmist I want to answer: “To you I shall offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and on the name of Jehovah I shall call. My vows I shall pay to Jehovah, yes, in front of all his people.”—Ps. 116:12, 17, 18.

Questions From Readers
● Is there anything in the Bible against giving one’s eyes (after death) to be transplanted to some living person?—L. C., United States.
The question of placing one’s body or parts of one’s body at the disposal of men of science or doctors at one’s death for purposes of scientific experimentation or replacement in others is frowned upon by certain religious bodies. However, it does not seem that any Scriptural principle or law is involved. It therefore is something that each individual must decide for himself. If he is satisfied in his own mind and conscience that this is a proper thing to do, then he can make such provision, and no one else should criticize him for doing so. On the other hand, no one should be criticized for refusing to enter into any such agreement.

FIELD MINISTRY
The peaceful, happy and fruitful work of preaching the good news of God’s kingdom increases world-wide day by day. Jehovah’s witnesses will continue to carry on this work in August by offering to people at their homes the book “Your Will Be Done on Earth,” with a booklet, for a 50c contribution.
FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION
“From Genesis to Revelation.” That could well describe the comprehensive Bible-study aid From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained. That is because, as its title implies, it outlines man’s hope of everlasting life as it is found in the Bible from the first book to the last, from the garden of Eden to the millennial reign of Christ Jesus. With this book you will want the revealing study of Daniel’s prophecy as found in the book “Your Will Be Done on Earth” to learn how you can survive the world crisis just ahead and share in the blessings of God’s paradise restored. Both books are hard bound and total 640 pages. Send only $1.25.
