Credit is but another name for character.

APT. GEORGE w. SCHROEDER OF

~ who introduced the Baptist religion
into Sweden. has sent a greeting to the
Swedish Baptist Congress, which opened
Yesterday in Stockholm. More Baptists
will be present than ever before at
meeting of the denomination In
Europe.
In his salutation Capt. Schroeder re-
ferred to the fact that in July. 1S45, as
young sailor he had attended an
opeI-air meeting of few Christians in
a park near Stockholm, at which time
he was the only Baptist in Sweden.
The aged seaman contrasted that
time with the present. when Sweden
has $4,000 Baptists, these converts hav-
ing invited their brother Baptists from
all parts of the world to meet with
then at Stockholm
Rev. Or. Robert s. Macarthur. presi-
ident OF the Baptist World Alliance,

was unable to take the trip.

The finest quality in courage is its
self-concealment. To fight without ban
ners or bugles: to sound no war cries;
to shun all spectators; to dare to be
willing TO be esteemed a coward--that
is the sort of self-forgetting courage
which makes one think of the Hero of
Calvary.
