men:

The salutation is to be delivered BY

Using Office for Good.
Il greet you here, Bishop Ingram

more and more to realize that theS
must show BY their lives how wei
they appreciate the truth of the text

your attention to the fact that il was
good many centuries ago that the
Latin hymn was composed which said
that the world was very evil and that
the times were growing late The
times are evil; that is there is much
that is evil in them. 1t would be To
our shame and discredit if we failed
to recognize that evil, If we wrapt our
selves in the mantle of foolish opti-
mism and failed TO war with heart and
strength against the evil. 1t would be
equally TO our discredit if we sank back
IN sullen pessimism and declined to
strive for good because we feared the
strength of evil. There is much evil;
there is much good, too, and one of
the good things is that more and more
we must realize that there is such n
thing as a real Christian fellowship
among men of different creeds and that
the real field for rivalry among and
between the creeds comes in the ri
valry of the endeavor TO see which can
render the best service to mankind,
which can do the work of the Lord
best by doing His work for the people
best.
