Socialism, communism and nihilism
mean too wicked to acknowledge God
and too lazy to earn a living" and among
the mightiest obstacles to be overcome are
those organized elements of domestic, so
oial and political ruin.
There also are the Businesses OF infideli-
ty, and atheism, and fraud, and political
corruption, and multiform, hydra headed,
million armed abomina-ions all over the
land. While the mightiest agencies for

I chief, a corrupt literature What man, at
tempting anything for God and humanity,
has escaped a stroke of its filthy wing?

so appalling? But / cannot name more
than, one-half the battements, tho has

we had nothing but the multiplication Ia
BILE and the arithmetic, the attempt to
evangolize America would DO an absurd
ity higher than the tower of Babel before
itdropped on the plain Of Shinar. Where
are the drilled troops to march against
those Notifications as long as the conti-
nent? Where are the batteries that can be
Unlimbered against these walls? Where
are the guns of large enough caliber to
storm these gates? Well, let us look around
and see, the first of all, who is our leader
and will be our leader until the work is
done.
A Great Leader.
Garibaldi, with 900 Italians, could do
more than another commander with 10, 900
Italians. General sherman, on one side,
and Stonewall jackson, on the other, each
with 10, con troops could do more than
some other generals with 10000 troops.
The rough boat in which Washington
crossed the icy Delaware with few half
frozen troops was mightier than the ship
of war that during the American Revolu-
tion came through the Narrows, gun at
each portfolio, and sank in He'll Gate. Our |
leader, ike most great leaders, was born |
in an obscure place. and it was humble 1
home, about five miles from Jerusalem. /
Those who were out of doors that night /
said that there was stellar connection and /
music that came out Of the clouds, as
though the front door Of heaven had been |
set open, and that the camels heard his
first infantile cry. Then he came to the |
fairest boyhood that mother was ever
proud of, and from 70 to 80 years of age
was off in India if traditions there are ao

land, and for three years had his pathway
surrounded by blind eyes that he illumin-
ed, and epileptio patients to whom he
gava rubicund health, and tongues that
be loosed from silence into song, and those
whose funerals he stopped that be might
give back to bereaved mothers their only
boys, and those whose fevered pulses he
had restored into rhythmic throb, and
whose paralytic limbs he had warmed into
healthful circulation-pastor at Caperna-
um, but flaming evangelist everywhere, J.
hushing crying tompests and turning roll
ing seas into solid sapphire, and for the
rescue Of a race submitted to courtroom
filed with bowling miscreants, and to a
at the sight of which the sun
tainted and fell back in the heavens, and
then treading the clouds homeward, like
snowy mountain peaks, till heaven took
him back again, more fayorite than he
had ever been; but, coming again, he is
IN earth now, and the nations are gather
ing to his standard. /,
