movement also enrolled last year 25,20S

pie to ask, 'Why cannot something
equally great be done for the needy In

New Volunteers for the Breach.

The one particular lack has been for
volunteer workers. The American
church's tendency Of late years has been
to pay for having good work done. in
stead Of going out and doing 1t. Now.
Rev. Mr. Stelzle's scheme, which Is al
ready being pushed among the thousands
of churches of his own denomination, bids
fair to call out the pledgedr activity OF the
young people. Some of these will study
foreign languages, or at least enough
to enable them to teach the italians,
Hungarians. Roumanians, Bohemians.
etc, who live near them. The Y. NJ. C..

this he said: THE truth. then, which our

Call of the Four Disciples.

And Jesus, walking by the Sea of
Peter, and Andrew. his brother. casting
fishers And He saith unto them, Fol-
low me, and / will make you fishers Of
men, And they straightway left their
nets and followed Him."
These facts, SO simply stated. demand
our careful study. What Is the explana-
ton Of them? How will We account for
the fact that on the first summons6of
Jesus these four men. who seem to have
been established in business. some Of
whom. if not all of them. had families
depending upon their daily toll. should
voluntarily and unhesitatingly abandon
their business and become the followers
of this stranger? The incident shows that
hold upon the dwellers in Galilee than 1t
had upon those Of Judea. They were
more remote from the court, from the
intrigue, the chicanery and duplicity
which there prevail; more free from
form and ceremony. and SO more open
to the new truths Of the kingdom.
One of the four. Andrew. the brother
of Simon. had been a disciple of John.
AS Jesus passed them one day John
of the world" To the Jew that SEN
tence was a volume. 1t said: This
is the antitype of all our types. the
fulfilment of all Our prophecies. Now
expecting, the Messiah. On hearing
the declaration of Johns he and an
other of Johns disciples Immediately
forsook their master and followed Jesus
An interview with the Master convinced
Andrew that Jesus was indeed the Christ.
Overjoyed at the discovery. he went in
search Of his brother. Simon. declaring,
1--WE have found the Messiah, which
is, being interpreted. the Christ. And he
brought him to Jesus" John TAI, 42D
This explains. In some degree, the
readiness with which Andrew and Simon
forsook all to become the followers Of
