When the revision of the New Testa-
, mcnt was completed some years ago
was not the book telegraphed verbatim
in one night from New York to Chi
cago? And can we not, through the
conquest of a mercenary commercial
ism, scatter practically in the twin
king of an eye the gospel of Jesus
Christ to the farthermdst parts of the
earth, so that whole nations shall be
born in a day?
Promise of Universal Peace.
Another great preliminary battle for
lhe worlds redemption was fought and
non when the parliament of religions
] assembled at the worlds fair in Chi
cago. Then all the intelligent members
of the Anglo-SaXon race realized as
+ never before that the gospel of Jesus
Christ was not only the best of all re-
ligions, but also that it is the only gos-
pei which promises perfect peace this
T side of tie grave as well as salvation
/ beyond.
In 1892 an American tourist was
talking in Calcutta to a high class Ben
gall. During their conversation this
dark cOlOred native of India exultantly
said: "Ah, you are from America! We
are soon going to send over our mis-
sionaries to Chicago, and we shall con-
vert America to the teachings of Kali,
Buddha and Mohsmmed." But when
the oriental missionaries began to talk
we remembered the burning CHATS of
the Ganges. We could hear the death
cries of the child widows who were
being sacrificed upon the funeral pyres.
We could see the superstitiOns and de- |
baucheries of the harems and the deg
radations of their people in the east.
Edwin Arnold's Light of Asia" might |
burn brightly when fed by the oil Of |
the poetic imaglns ton Of the gifted .
English writer, who married dark |
skinned daughter of the east. but Ar
nolds Light Of Asia" was found to be
as dark as India. with its teeming mil
lions in utter darkness-darkness black
as that of Africa or as dark as the be-
nighted human beings who, as canni-
balls, are banqueting off human flesh.
AS all peoples must believe in a God
Of some sort. so today, as never before,
the intelligent. civilized nations know
shat the gospel Of Jesus Christ is the
only gospel which will bring true peace
and progress to the world. When a ma
tive chief asked Queen Victoria the
source Of England's strength she hand
ed him a Bible. So, today, most of the
civilized races are ready to confess
that the strength of the mightiest
earthly governments is centered in the
word Of God. Where the Bible is not,
there are superstition and ignorance
and brutallzing crime.
Thus many preliminary battles have
already been fought and won. Now
comes the practical question. What 1
