awakened to the immensity of its task
when civil standards are made per
pend1cu1ar; when the home has been
redeemed; and all the other thousand
and one things that can be done; then
we shall begin to feel that the Broth
hood has begun to realize its objects
''The Brotherhood has illustrated
the possibility of Christian union; is
extending the possibilities of fraternal
aid among its men; has dignified the
business OF the church in many towns,
SO that the business of the house of
God is conducted on business princi-
pies; has done much to promote civic
righteousness; has developed the spir-
ltuallty of its men; has united in the
eftort to interest men in the ministry;
is awakening men to their infinite pos
s1bilit1eS; is teaching US that Jesus
Christ died for all men-the man who
works with pick and shovel, and the
man who lives in palace on the
hills"

I'm the New Testament church men
and women worked together side by
side" she said. Later the world was
less in the advancement of Christ's
kingdom and women dropped out as
workers.
when fifty years ago the women
began to be aroused to the question
of the evangelization of the world.
they again began to take an agrees
i've part in religious enterprises.
with the women taking hold of
things, is there any wonder that the
student volunteer movement has been
started and the Laymen's Missionary
movement launched?

wins the race but he is filled with joy
his muscles fairly tingle; so you will
find your cup is running over as a
consequence Of taking up this great
work you are putting yourselves be-
hind every missionary enterprise of
the world.
II want to give you a little admoni-
tion. Sometimes you talk as though
the women have done almost everything
towards the advancement of Christ's
kingdom, but let me say that the men
have done more.
though the women have been pudding
around at the job (Cheers).
Il believe it is one of the greatest
movements ever launched said r. A
Long, president of the Christian Church
Brotherhood organization. I'VE are
going ahead with the work although
we haven't dollar in the treasury
ut was only II short months ago
since that wonderful meeting was held
in Pittsburg, when 1 think we might
say our movement was launched re-
gardless to the previous work of or
ganization which had been accomplish

''Only by finding out our weak points,
individually and collectively. can we
correct them. Be careful that your
criticisms are wise.
I'VE can't develop our program of
work in a day ~or in year, or even
ten years. but 1 know in the end we
shall win.
Some say there is no room for the
brotherhood-that we are already over
organized-but L have said for Gods
sake show me in what way the men
are organized at all-the women are the
ones who are organized.
