The present generation has no par
allef in the history of the world II may
have been equaIed or even excciled in
certain features at different times in

this generation stands alone. The num-
Der. variety. and greatness OF its
achievements can scarcely be grasped
by the human intellect
Il Go not hesitate 70 say thatth SUI

be carried out. The supreme work Of
this generation is the evangelization Of
the whole world
This program could not be carried

has performed. The evangelization OF
the world is the set purpose OF Cod Tor
this generation. and the supreme pur-
pose of the mighty achievements Of this
generation is TO aid i'm this work.

cut or bruise inhames and fes-
tiers. Everything about an old
sore or ulcer suggests disease.
They affect the general health,
they require constant attention.
and are a source of anxiety and
trouble all the time, and in some
cases highly offensive. There is
danger, too, of these places be-
coming cancerous if not treated
promptly and in the right way.
Washes, salves and ointments
are good for external use, but
they can't stop the discharge or
change the condition of the
blood, and for this reason the
sore never heals permanently.
Not until the blood is purged
of impurities and the system
cleansed of all harmful sub
stances should the ulcer heal. or
the effect upon the system might
prove disastrous. S. 8. S. goes
into the circulation and searches
out and removes the cause of the
old sore and invigo~ates and build
and as the poisonous matter is d
to heal, new flesh forms and the
skin and the sore is gone for all
