Christians would band together not |
for crack Drained fanaticism, but for |
holy Christian reform. | think 1t was
in 1898 that there went out from Luck
now, India, under the sovereign, the |
greatest hunting party that was ever |
projected. There were 10000 armed |
trcn in that hunting party. There |
were cameis ard horses and elephants. |
One some princes rode, and royal ladies, |
under exquisite housings, add 500 |
coolies waited upon the train, and /
the desolate places of India were |
invaded 10y the excursion, and |
the rhinocerOS, the DEER and elephant
fell under the stroke of SabCf Hud
imilct. After awhile the party brought
back trophies worth 30, 300 rupees, hav-
ing ,e't the wilderness OF India CHASTITY
with the slam bodies Of wild beasts.

and antler. If you go out 10 hunt for
mortal souls. not only bring them down
under the arrow of the Gospel. but
| bring them into the Church of God, the
cnchmpmeilt we have pitched this side
of the skies. Fetch them in: d1 no let
them lie ont i'm thesOpen field. They
need our prayers and sympathies and
help. That is the meaning of the
Church of God-help. o We hunters for
the Lord, not only bring down the

If Mithridates liked hunting SO well
that for seven years he never went in
doors. what enthusiasm ought we to
have who ere hunting for immortal
souls! II Domitianhs praetsced archery

Roman amphithcater, with a hand out,
the fingers like that, and then the
king could shoot an arrow between the

Old archcrs took the bow, PVT one end
of it down beside the foot, elevated the
other end and il was the rule that the
bow should be just the size of the
archer; if it were just his size, then he
would go into the battle with conf
dence. Let me say that your power to
project good In the world will corre-
spond exactly to YOUR own spiritual
statute. IN other words the first
thing in preparation for Christian
work is personal consideration.
