the movement.
That no civilization could succeed
without Christ and that religion was "a
fundamental in all civilization was the
thoaght which the speaker conveyed to
his hearers lie called attention to the

in the field, saying that it was ct

putting a missionary or two out in
isolated places.
Christendom has never realized the
great task before it of carrying the
gospel into foreign heather nations,
said the speaker, and the sooner this
fact is realized and an adequate army
put in the field, the greater would he
the results accomplished.
That Christ is the ultiinatum of God
