Prince of Darkness will be bound for
a thousand years.
In today's lesson the Apostle is ex-
planning the responsibility of these
light bearers. They represent God in
this dark world; they represent His
They are not able to let all of this
glorious light shine but they can do
much to bring in a twilight to some.
These are not expected to convert
the world, but to find a sufficient num-
Der of similar characters to complete
the foreordained membership in the
Bride class. Faithfulness and zeal in
this service will determine whether or
not they will be worthy a place in the
Kingdom and, if worthy, how high an
honor!
We must have no fellowship with
the unfruitful works of darkness but
rather reprove them" How searching:
how positive! More than this: VIC
must not be content with negative
opposition.
However wisely we may seek tic
fulfill these requirements, they are sure
to bring the enmity, disfavor, disap-
pointment of many we love. But as
good soldiers of the Lord Jesus we
must be loyal. He that is ashamed or
the Master and His Word and the
principles for which He stands, of him
will the Savior be ashamed.
Evidently the Apostle does not mean
that we shall undertake to reprove eV-
erything out of accord with the Divine
will, because he mentions the things
to be reproved, saying, 1T is shame
even to speak of those things which
are done of them in secret"-unc1ean-
ness, impure practices, etc. We mus
manifest. our disapprova1 when we arc
in close contact with such things.
1t may not mean that we shall pub
licly denounce the evil, but it surely
does mean that our lives shall be sc
contrary to all sinful and impure prac-
tees that all may take knowledge that
we have learned of Jesus!
Walk We Circumspectly.
In view of these things, said the
Apostle, the followers of Jesus should
be wise, redeeming the time, purchas
ing it back from worldly cares and
pleasures, to have the more to use in
the Masters service. To do this will
require that we study the Lords will.
If others are drunk with excessive
use of wine, let us be filled with a diff
ferent kind of wine-the Holy Spirit.
If others seek to find joy and solace in
intoxicants, let us find ours in being
filled with the mind of Christ. This
spiritual refreshment will lead us to
psalms and hymns, and to make mer-
ry in our hearts to the Lord.

lee two thousand years ago, is the
ruling philosophy of earth today.
Hard Knocks for Ecc1esiastics.
All through this long address Jesus
scintillated brilliant and scorching
flashes of arraignment of the profess
sional religious leaders of His time.
| Today we would call a man who so
spoke an ''insurgent." Jesus hated
all shams. and he despised the &C.
clesiaStical leaders who used their
religion as a cloak for self-seeking.
| He babe all who would follow Him
to have Righteousness that exceeds
the righteousness of the scribes and
the pharisees. Again and again He
heaped up His contempt upon the
hypocritical pretenses of men who
trusted to their pre-eminence and
Wanting virtue for their reward.
1t was common then-and the same
notion persists in modified guise-for
men who wanted to be counted re-
ligious to do their aims in the sight
of all men, and to pray on the street
corner, and to take the chief places
in the synagogues. Their religion
was religion of show. They de-
spised the poor and the sinful. 1t
was scarcely adequate to express His
loathing for this selfish. sinful carl
His Father had prescribed for man
kind. He did not hesitate to point
to the public woman, whom the
pharisee despised, as more worthy
than the self-righteous aristocrat.
Standing Up for a Servant.
One other striking incident occurs
in the quarters lesson, that of the
testimony of Jesus to John the Bap-
fist. Men and Religion workers have
frequently pointed out the fearless
paign leader, Fred B. Smith, to all
his associates. Let anybody criticise
one of the team men, and Smith
would be to the fore with an unhesi-
tating. unqualified endorsement of
that man. That is a Christian trait.
Jesus never went back on friend.
After John the Baptist had decreas-
ed and Christ had increased. the
prophet in prison wondered whether
things were really coming out as he
had expected. He sent friends to in
quire. Then followed that superb
testimony to the brave prophet of the
wilderness, that Among them that
are born of women there hath not
arisen a greater than John the Bap-
tist.'' Jesus failed not one whit in
honoring the man who had gone be-
fore Him.
The example is a good one for the
times. In our zeal for the new, and
in our ardor in prosecution of mod
ern reforms and development let US
not forget the old. Every form of
progress today is the outworkiTg of
earlier ideals and activities. Others
have labored and We are entering into
their labors. Our present privileges
are an inheritance from those who
perhaps did not live to see their day.
What there is of good now is but the
summation of all that went before.
AS We talk of the uniqueness of this
day of social instinct, and of the rapid
spread of altruistic ideals, let us not
forget the brave souls who held to
these ideals through doubt and dis
couragement. Above all, be 1T remem
bered that what we know today of a
coming kingdom of mans good and
Gods glory is but the fruition of the
teachings given to the uncomprehend-
ing multitudes by Jesus two thousand
years ago.

c1uded in the totals of churches and
members. The vastness of the Chris
tian stake in Africa is thus seen to be
very great.
One grave error in contemplating
| Africa is the assumption that all parts
of the continent are always hot. Africa
is by no means entirely equatorial. All
degrees of climate except extreme cold
may be found; and the products range
from wheat to bananas.
The savage tribes of Africa are
bound to give way before the progress
of civilization. Thousands and tens of
thousands of them have already been
slain by New England rum. Their fate
is to be largely decided within the next
generation. The barbarism, illiteracy
and vice of the pagan tribes should be
sUpplanted by the Christian type of
character.
The lowest forms of religion that to-
day exist on earth are to be found amid
the remoter African tribes, who are
fetch worshipers and cannibals.
There are approximately 100. 0oo, 900
people in Africa. a huge total which yet
OILY averages less than fifteen persons
t. the square mile.
Six million Africans are Moslems.

decrepit and overgrown with forms and
ignorance and superstition, still sur
wives. Among these Christians the
United Presbyterian church is doing an
extraordinarily fine work. Their schools
and colleges have elected the praise Of
everybody. My own Judgment, after
extensive travels in mission lands IS
that no finer mission work is being
done anywhere than by the United
Fresbyterians in Egypt.
Uganda is, with Korea. one of the
triumphs of Christian missions. 1t has
often been said that the Sabbath is
better kept in Uganda than in some
parts of the United States, and that the
proportion of families maintaining
worship is higher Not to know the
story of Mackay of Uganda the me-
chanic missionary, is to have missed
one of the best pieces of missionary
literature.
The name of Livingstone is forever
linked with the Dark Continent which
he loved. AS his epitaph in Westmin-
ster Abbey reads, he invoked Gods
blessing upon any who would help
heal this open sore of the world" The
story of this Scotch mill boy, from cot
tage to Abbey, is one of the romances

Missions in Africa have stood for
human rights. The Congo atrocities
have been brought to an end by the
fearless, faithful witness of mission
aries, Southern Presbyterians and
American Baptists taking the lead
among them.

Africa is the scene of one interna-
| tional war and of a rebellion, at the
present time. The war between Italy
and Turkey centerS in Tripoli, and the
| Moors are in rebellion against the
French at Fee. Both of these con-
tests have taken on a religious char
| acter. The green flag has been rails
ed, and the issue is now really one be-
| tween Moslems and Christians. 1t is
| the religious devotion of the follow
ers of the Prophet that is causing the
| Arabs to hurl themselves upon the
guns of the italians. The real Signi-
| ficance of the struggle lies in this. If
anybody thinks that the ancient anti
| Christian bitterness of Islam died with
the crusadeS, he would better study
closely into what is going on in North
Africa today.
The literal war that is being wag-
ed on the historic Mediterranean
coast of Africa today is a type of
the less violent conflict that is under
way between Islam and Christianity In
northern and equatorial Africa The
religion of the Prophet is making
more rapid inroads into paganism
| than is Christianity. Now it is not
pleasant for a Christian to contem-
plate the fact that his religion is in a
losing fight anywhere. None the less,
that is the judgment of the best in
formed men with respect to Africa to-
day. The crescent and the cross are
contending for sovereignty over the
pagan tribes; and the crescent is win
ning.
Worse yet. The ancient Christian
Church of Abyssinia is being raided
by Arab missionaries of Islam and
they are making great Roadway. De-
spite its ADMINISTRATION dates
Abyssinia's Christianity back to the
conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch
by Philip-the church in this land is
lacking in vitality. The services are
held in a language which the people
do not understand. and a dead for
malism and corrupt priesthood
throw a heavy pail over the church.
None the less, it is Christian In some
fashion. it has kept the faith for more
centuries than northern Europe. To-
day it faces defeat at the hands of
Islam.
There is a political and economic
side to the struggle between the cross
and the crescent for supremacy in
africa, as well as religious Gus ca Africa ca

make the continent a worlds cross

is to prevail will be largely determin-
ed by the religion that predominates.
The Importance of Africa as mis-
sion field is best shown by a few fig
ures. The staff of Christian mission
aries at work on this continent and
reported to the Edinburg Conference,
was 4,22S. These represented all
forms of mission work and all Chris
tan countries. They were assisted by
1920 native workers, and they were
associated with 5,219 native churches.

these agencies were ass, ASS commun-
