brought another each succeeding year,
In order TO have fourteen hundred
mil lion people saved or the popula-
tion Of the eerth at present. His answer
was two million seven hnndyed and hfty-four
thousand three hundred and seventy-hve
workers so you see that when slfted the
five hundred million nominal Christians OF
the earth down TO fifty millions and stopped
there. retained for this work forty-seven
million people too many. There 1t is in
glorious mathematics qund erat demonstran-
dunn. Do you tell me that God does not care
for mathematical Then yon have never
seen the Giants Causeway where God
shows his regard for the hexagonal
In whole ranges Of rocky columns with
six sides and six angles. Then you
have not studied the geometry OF bees
'houeycomb with six sides and six angles.
Then yon have not noticed what regard God
has for the square, the altar OF the ancient
tabernacle four square, the breastplate four
square, the court OF the temule In Ezekie9s
vision fou- 'quare, the New Jerusalem laid
out four square. Or you have not noticed
His regard for the circle by ma'Sing 1t his
throne "sltting In the circle Of the earth,"
and fashioning sun and moon and stars In
circle. and sending our planetary system
around other systems In q circle and the
whole universe sweeping around the throne
OF God In circle. And as TO His regard for
mathematical numbers. He makes the fourth
book In his Bible the Book Of Numbers,
and numbers the hosts Of Israel and num-
bers the trnops OF Sennacherib and numbers
Solomon's hewer- in the forest and numbers
| the spearman and numbers the footmen and
numbers the converts at Pentecost and
numbers the char'ots OF God rolling down
the steps OF heaven. So have o rioht 70

world to God in the coming decade by simple

necessity Of taking any.
| Another reason vhv know II can be done
Is that we NAV divide the work up among
the denominations. God does not ask any
one denomination TO do the work or any
dozen denominations. The work can be DIR
vided and is being III vided an, not Reo0raph-
ically. hut according 20 The temDeraments OF
the human family. We can not say TO one
denomination, you take Persia, and another,
Won take China and another you take
India, because there are all kinds OF tenn
pe-aments In all nations. And some de-
nominations are especially adapted to
work with people OF sanguine temper
ament, or phelgmatic temperament or
choleric temperament, or bilious temper
ament or nervous temperament or lynn
phaiic temperament. The Episcopal church
will do its most effective work with thrse
who by taste prefer the stately and ritual
istic. The Methodist church will do Its
best work among the emotional and demon
stratiye. The Presbyterian church will do
its best work among thosa who like strorg
doctrine and the stately service softened bv
the emotional SO each denomination VIII

church North, and other hundreds Of
thousands In the Presbyterian church

last Hotientot, the last Turk, the last Jap
anese, the last American, the last European
the last Asiatic. the last African will see thu
salvation Of God before he sees the opening
gate OF the twentieth century.
