called Luke, and 10 nv text, although

reports verbatim a sermon Of Christ

Notnlng more interested me 10 my re-

IS well " know that though the captain
tells you there are thirty-twO points OF
division OF the cOu pass card in the

cardinal points, AID my text halls them,
the north, the south, the east, the west.
So l spread cut before US the map OF
tue world 90 see the extent of the Cos
pei campaign. The hardest part Of the
field 20 be taken IS the north, because
our Gospel is an emotional Gospel, and
the nations of the far north are q cold
.biooded race. They dwell amid icebergs
and eternal SHOWS, and everlasting win
ter. Grsenlanders, Lap.anders, Ice
lanOers, lOerians-their vehicle is the
siedge drawn by reindeer. Their ap-
parel the tbickest furs at all seasons
Their existence a lifetime battle with
the cold. The winter charges upon
them with swords OF icicle, an strikes
them with bullets OF hail and pounds
them with battering-rams of glacier.
But already the huts of the Arctic
hear the songs Of divine worship. Al
ready the SHOWS fall on open New Tes-
taments. Already the warmth OF the
Sun Of righteousness begins 10 be felt

Nova Zsmbla; down from Spitzbergen
Seas; down from the Land Of the Md

North in, Notwithstanding its fr0Sts,
and the same text brings 10 the South,
Notwithstanding its tOrridity. The
fields OF cactus, the orange groves, and
the thickets Of magnolia are TO be sur

South! That means Mexico, and all the
regions that William II. Prescott and
Lord KingsbOrOugh made familiar ia
