Marshal Won Bulow was converted
to Christ near the close of 1918, alter
several months of extreme anxiety and
restlessness When the light OF saliva
ton shone upon hun, he felt that hls
whole course of life must be changed.
"Icould no longer live to myself" he
says, "or be the servant of sin; no more
could ] have worldly honors aud glory
for the objects of my pursuit; nor could
| find it consistent to be dt the same
time a soldier of the Lord Jesus Christ,
the Prince of Peace, and of at earthly
prince.-a soldier of lfe and death. |
therefore lelt my military service, and
determined to devote myself to the work
of the Lord Accordingly in the spring
of 1919, he visited the coast OF Norway,
distributing Bibles and lmpartlng reii-
gious instruction wherever he went he
was greatly affected with the moral
wretchedness of the people. but could
do nothing more for them tall the spring
of 1927, when he procured a boat IS
feet long and with tie aid of two sailors
visited the whole coast from Christlana
to Dourtheim. He preached the Cos
pei at SO different places, to congFega-
tons of from 20 to 500 hearers, and dis
tributed some hundred copies OF Scrip
lures. together with 5000 or 1000 Tracts.
He was ordained in London on the 10th
of February last, and, as stated above,
is now a Missionary, under the dlrec-
ton of the Continental Society.
To the eyes OF mere worldly men,
there is nothing great or honorable in
being a Missionary Of the Cross, and
they may we'll wonder what 1t is, that
has thus influenced this heroic chieftain
to lay down all his honors stthe SsViour,s
feet, and become a despised preacher of
Righteousness. An, there are motives
as we'll as consultations and hopes, which
the world knows not of; which the
stranger Intermediate not with. But
the day is coming, when to be a Mis-
s%ionary or Minister OF Jesus, however
obscure, however despised, il only faith
fui, shall be seen by the Universe TO be
a greater honor than crowns and king
doms; and when legalized murder, with
all It's ''pomp and circumstance" shall
stand forth in its real o~di0usness, to tina
confusion and dismay of those who de-
light N it.-"Ihen shall the righteous
shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their
Father.-N Y Observer.
"Haue I come to hiS2"-How
painful must be the reflections of a
young mar who has enjoyed the pri
vileges of society, moral instructions,
and faithful admoni!i0n, to find himself
arrested in his wicked career by the
arm ofjustice, and about to receive the
penalty of the law for his crimes, while
comparing his advantages with his
present circumstances. Iudeed he may
we'll say, "haue leone to this?"
This is not altogether an imaginary
case /. so happened that the writer
of this was present when several con
