Thirty-fourth Street Reformed Church or
New York, delivered an address on
christian Endeavor as a Factor In Our
Country's Evangelization."
Il am very much at home here IN the
Tabernacle" he said. THE last time I
was here / preached from a flour barrel
and this time l am very glad to have a
pulpit of daisies, and still more glad to
see so many daisies in front of me; !
don't mean those used in the decora-
tions. I am delighted to hear of the
Peoples Palace: we have a gymnasium
at our church., but we have not yet a
bath room.
1T is a big subject I have to talk
about today, Our Country's Evangelical
ion. First; 1 would ASK, what do we
understand by the evangeization of our
country? The Christianization of the
world IS to bring the world to the feet
of Jesus. In one sense we are evangei-
lied, that IS, we have the Gospel all over
our country. But full evangelizat.on is
not only to hear the Gospel but to do
it. 1 thank God we a the Christian
Endeavor. The subject we have to con-
slider is not the eyangelization of the
world, but of our country. l love to
hin of it and of our flag.
THIS IS A BIG COUNTRY.
Did you ever think how great our
country is? And it is wonderful not
only in extent but in population. The
population is Increasing all the time,
and the greatest thought in connection
with our great country is the people.
