 The work of redemption is purifying and perfecting, and when at last the work is done, it is the world of Christ your world, my world-human society redeemed, transformed, the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ. It is because young men and young women all over thls eoun- try have seen this vision of Christ in themselves, of Christ in their fellows, and of a Christ in society, because clear ly or not clearly, consciously or uncon- sciously, they do not know that they are the sons of God, and their fellow-men are the sons of God, and because they desire to work out in themselves and others likeness to Christ, it is for this they have risen up with great enthusiasm, and are marching forth, believe, to great victory.-[LymanA Abbott, D.D.
