But still we follow our Chieftain in His

that on the cross. Christ said, ''it is fin
lehed, but He meant His sacrif1cial work
was finished. All earth and all heaven
know that evangelization is not finished,
but there will come a day in heaven
most rapturous. 1t may be after our
world, which is thought to have about

1900 600, 0c0 souls and all redeemed, and it
Will be after this world shall be so damaged
by confiagratiou that no human foot can
tread its surface and no human being can
breathe its air, but most certainly the day
will cone when heaven will be finished and
the last OF the u gates of the eternal city
shall have changed shut, never to open eS
cept for the admission of some celestial em-
bassage returning from some other world,
and Christ may strike His Scared but healed
hand in emphasis on the arm of the amethy-
stine throne and say in substance: "All my
ransomed ones are gathered; the work is
done; have finished my march through the
centuries.
When in 1913, after the battle of Leipsic,
which decided the fate OF the nineteenth
century, in some respects the most tIe-
mendous battle ever fought the bridge
down, the river incarnadiheG the street
chokcd with the wounded. the fields for
miles around strewn with a dead soldiery
from whom all traces of humanity had been
dashed out, there met in the public square
of that city of Leipsic the allied conQuerors,
the kings who had gained the victory-the
King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, the
Crown Prince of Sweden-followed by the
chiefs Of their armies. With drawn swords
these monarchs saluted each other, and
chcered for the continental victory they had
together gained. History has made the
scene memora bic.
Greater and more thrilling will be the
spectacle when the world is ali conquered
for the truth and in front of the palace of
heaven the kings and conquerors of all the
allied powers of Christian usefulness shall
salute each other and recount the struggles
by which they gained the triumph, and then
hand over their swords to Him who is the
Chief of the conquerors~crying: Thine oh
Christ, is the kingdom; Wake the crown of
victory: the crown Of dominion; the crown
of grace; the crown of glory" "On His head
were many crowns"
