The beginning of every great move
ment in the worlds history has beese
humble and inconspicuous. The origin
! of the Christian church itself, now
numbering its millions in all lands,
was in a single room, in which, all
told, there were only 12O persons.
| Where will the movement for the final
triumph begin? 1t may be in such a
| church as this, but it will be some
| where where there is a band of ear
nest, consecrated, praying souls-men
| and women self sacrificing, ardent,
agoniZing in supplication to God for
| power There is an old proverb which
goes something like this: The best
way for city to keep its streets clean
| is for every man to clean the sidewalk
in front Of his 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. a

So, today, l want to enlarge your
gospel horizon. I want to show you
| that the work you can do for Jesus
should be studied no longer through a
microscope, but through telescope. o
want to show you that, as all time is
merely nothing more than a long sue
cession of seconds and minutes and
days and weeks and years, SO all great
events are merely the accumulations
of the works of single individuals. The
Anglo-Saxon in great units may be
composed of nations. The Anglo-Saxon
race in small units is composed Of in
dividuals just like ourselves. Will you
and start here and now, with Gods
help, for the conquest of the world for
Christ? Will you and / here and now
consecrate our lives to his service, so
that we may become his acceptable
messengers for this work?
The final redemption Of the world
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-
quered for Jesus. 1t was, I believe,
to be in the year 2001. 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
GUM and Holland were on the one
side. France, Spain, Italy. Turkey.
Austria and Russia were upon the 9th
er side. The great armies were mar
shaled into two mighty hosts, the tread
Of whose feet and the rumble of whose
cannon made the earth shake. The
night before the decisive battle was to
open the camp fires of the sleeping SOL
diers stretched for miles and miles
away. But the night before that bat
tie opened a strange being was seen
to go rapidly through the different
camps Of the nations. Upon the breast
of each soldier he pinned a badge or
sign The next morning the bugles
sounded. and the armies were drawn
up in battle array. But when the gen.
erals gave the commands "Fire!" and
Charger not one gun spoke, not one
soldier moved. Then the generals be-
gan to inquire the cause. They found
out the reason. The strange being who
the night before went from camp to
camp was Jesus Christ The badge
which was pinned upon every soldiers
breast was the sign of the cross. Jesus
had at last conquered. The sign of for
giveness and of love and pardon and
sinlessness had at last spiked the guns
Of war and turned every soldier into an
emissary of peace. There is only one
way I would change that wonderful
dream of the gospel writer. In the
last great battle of sinful war would
not have the members of the Anglo
