of Palestine. How shall the truth
and the teacher be brought together ?
That fearless, aggressive, war-loving,
law making nation answers to us
from the seven hills. About seven
centuries after Greece was settled, the
Romans began their preparation for
the part they were to play. Their
thirst for power, their hunger for
possessions, their love of armies,
pushed them out and on in every di-
rection, bending and breaking every
opponent until the world lay united
and at peace. Great macadamized
roads were built into every province
binding them closely and firmly to-
gether. Laws, such laws as had
never been, were enacted and execut-
ed.
Rome conquered Greece and in so
doing cut the cords which bound her
culture and learning TO the Acropolis.
Rome conquered Greece, but Greece Z
art and language and philosophy
conquered Rome. Then the Greece
conquered Rome cOnquers Palestine
and Palestine's Truth-Palesline's
Christ conquers Rome's laws and
provinces, and GreeGe's art, and Ian
guage and philosophy. lie has rid
den triumphantly over every high
way and planted his standard over
every province.
The reign OF our God has not ceas-
ed. Ills arm is not shortened. His
oracle is not dumb. Other nations
have spoken, some are speaking to-
day, others will speak tomorrow.
With fond and anxious heart look
to the long neglected India. | believe
she will have a message to deliver.
Locked up in her fervid soul is
stern rcbuke to our too cold, material
istic, western conception of religion.
Let her once thoroughly embrace
Christ and / believe she will teach
us tenderer, swecter christianity.
The Jews, like Vcsuvius, seem
burnt out by their past deliverance
but, like Vesuvius, deep down there
burns and surges u mighty fire that
in the coming years VIII once moro
light up the world.
