men and women that the spirit of God
Is carrying forward IN a s srsat fight & the he
reared today It is the standard of the
cross And L want you to gather round
and follow it. fer it will never know dam

in the distance come as close as YOU can
and may God help you to write home
to many an anxious mother or father: y
have seen the standard of the cross lifted
before the foe and have resolved to no
longer drift with the tide nor risk being
swept down by the food, but win take
the side of Christ against the evil within
and without ue.''-Rev. DR.. William Rob-
