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 or Jesus
Christ to the farthermost parts of the
earth. so that whole nations shall be
born in a dayf
Promise of Universal Peace.
Another great preliminary battle for
the worlds redemption was fought and
won 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 Cos
pei which promises perfect peace this
side of the grave as well as salvation
beyond.
In 1892 an American tourist was
talking in Calcutta to 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-

radations Of their people in the east.

lions in utter Observation-Disclosures 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
that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the
only gospel which will bring true peace
and progress to the world. When a ma
