sgarded himself as called of God to this

irate, but why try to measure q
aan who lived in the evening of the Dark
Ages by the advanced standards of our
ime. He thought he heard GODS
,oiee; he thought he found his summons
n the old prophets; he thought to win
in India, but he consecrated 1t in

ne scrupulously observed the Lords day
IN his feet, and the standard which he
planted In the new world was the standard
Of the Cross.
Nor Is 1t without Significance that Pill

America, borne on by religious motive.

Q. Christian citizenship in republic
means much, In q republic every man Is
q king. Contrast the condition of young
man In this country with that of young
man across the sea. Life touches life;
barriers of rank or of wealth or of culture
are thrown down; chasms are bridged;
avenues are open. A man has chance to
get on and to get up without being hope
lessly handicapped from the hour of his
birth. Amid such conditions influences
can flow from mind to mind and from
heart to heart.
3. Christian citizenship in the republic
in this nineteenth century means much.
This is the century in which America has
taken her true place among the nations OF
the world. Contrast life to-day with that
of the eighteenth century. Carlisle calls it
the century of scepticism, (Which means
not intellectual doubt alone, but moral
doubt; all sorts of infdelity, insincerity,
spirit paralysis, an age of unfaith, in which
heroism was impossible"
In America it was a sceptical century,
too. Contrast the religious condition of
Yale college to-day with that of century
ago.
But now the ends of the earth have been
brought together. Steam and electricity
have done their marvellous work and you
| talk around the world in morning. 1t
| is not accidental that religious forces like
commerce itself have travelled on the wings
| of the lightning, and the century of meas
| ureless material development has become
l the century of modern missions as well.
So say that Christian citizenship here
l and now means more than it has in the
past.
am pleased to believe that Christian in
fiuences are growing on the street, in the
marts of trade, in the centers of educa-
ton, everywhere. You may trace 1t in
the growing sense of responsibility felt by
men; in the rapidly increasing list of pub
lie benefactions; in great philanthropie
organizations and conventions; even il
phases of modern political life.
It is Christian citizenship which lift
high ideas, discovers the basis of patriot
ISM and Yields potent forces.

republic has large responsibility on thu
