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.

you that. as all time is nothing more
than long succession Of seconds and
minutes and days and weeks and years,
so all great events are merely the accu-
mutations of the works of single indi-
viduals. The Anglo-Saxo in great units
may be composed of nations. The Anglo
Saxon race in small units is composed
of individuals just like ourselves. viii

The final redemption OF the world would
not be far off IL we could only bring
Jesus in touch with all mankind An
imaginative religious writer once had
this beautiful dream about how the world
was finally to be conquered for Jesus. 1t
was, 1 believe, to be in the year 2001. A
great international war was about to
burst over Europe. All the nations of
that continent were divided into two
sides. England. Germany, Norway, Swe-
den, Belgium and Holland were ON the
one side. France. Spain, Italy. Turkey,
Austria and Russia were upon the other
side. The great armies were marshaled
into two mighty hosts, the tread of
whose feet and the rumble of whose cam
non made the earth shake. The night
before the decisive battle was to open
the camp fires of the sleeping soldiers
stretched for miles and miles away. But
the night before that battle opened a
strange being was seen to go rapidly
through the different camps of the ma
lions. Upon the breast of each soldier
he pinned badge or sign. The next
morning the bugles sounded, and the ar
mics were drawn up in battle array But
when the generals gave the commands
"Firer and "Charget' not one gun
spoke. not one soldier moved. Then the
generals began 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
emssary of peace. There is only one
way would change that wonderful
dream of the gospel writer. In the last
great battle of sinful war I would not
have the members of the Anglo-Saxon
race participants. The night before the
battle was to open / would have Jesus
Christ go through the camp of the Siav,
the Malay and all the pee lie of the earth,
led by a white skinned guide. That guide
would have the rudy. faxen haired eau
casian, the guide whom would call the
Anglo Saxon race. oh, my brother and
sister by the conservation of your lives
and prayers will you not help make this
scene POSSIBLE? VIII you not here and
now start forth. by Gods help. to con-
quer in the near future the world for
Tee1,s Christ
