"Mr. Toastmaster aud friends:
Every country has its citizenship
In some form. But only those coun-
tries have their Bible schools where
christian men and women soorning
fate. the fagot and the stake. have
put the sensual pleasures of this
world behind them, and by abnega-
ton OF self and devotion to others.
have given fit and satisfactory answer
to Christs immortal query. For what
is a man profited IL he shall gain the
whole world. and lose his own soul?'
Citizenship Is one thing. and
Christian citizenship is another. A
mans citizenship follows him be
meath the folds Of every flag. and by
II is he judged and must his protec-
ton be measured, both al home and
abroad.
AS the citizen IL measured by the
character of his citizenship. so is a
nation measured both at home and
abroad by its citizens.
The government owes no greater
duty to the Individual citizen. than Is
owing by him to the government. As
Is one. 50 Is the other. Therefore, IL
IS well for us to consider the highest
form of citizenship and strive for II.

Would you say that Alexander the
Great, was the embodiment of those
Ideals. or an example of that high
form of citizenship to which we
should aspire. when according to the
historian of his time. after a harvest
of cruel victories, he buried his face
IN his hands and wept because there
were no other worlds to conquer.
