coes something like this: 'The best |
way for city to keep its streets clean
Is for every man to clean the sidewalk
I'm front of Ills own home" The best
way for the Anglo-Saxon race to start
on this worldwide mission is for us, as
individuals. to start here and start
now. A little handful, under the power
of the Holy Spirit, we may accomplish
at least as much for Christ as did that
little band of praying men and women
in the upper chamber Of Jerusalem.

The final redemption Of the world
Z. would not be far off If we could only
bring Jesus in touch with all man
kind. An imaginative religious writer
once had this beautiful dream about
how the world was finally to be con-
ouered for Jesus. 1t was, | believe,
TO be in the year POOL. A great inter
national war was about to burst over
Europe. All the nations of that CONT
nent were divided into two sides. Eng
land. Germany, Norway, Sweden, Bel
gium and Holland were on the one
side. France, Spain, Italy, turkey
Austria and Russia were upon the oth'
or side. The great armies were mar
shaled into two mighty hosts, the treao
of whose feet and the rumble Of whose
cannon made the earth shake. Iht
night before the decisive battle was tc
omen the camp fires Of the sleeping sol
diers stretched for miles and miles
AWAY. But the night before that bat
, tle opened q strange being was seeI
to 20 rapidly through the difreren
, camps of the nations. Upon the Dreas
, of each soldier he pinned badge or
; sign. The next morning the Dugie
, sounded. and the armies were draw

erals gave the commands "flre! an
"Chargev not one gun spoke, not on

which was pinned upon every soldier
breast was the sign of the cross. Jesu
