 Tn Turkey there has been a remark able development within the last few years. The great east is seething with the desire to think. and this desire is being fulfilled in the establishment of institutes of learning which are springing up. Russian Poland is alive with the desire to be free; it is caught with the idea that man has the right to think for himself In spite of the never be broken and God will place victory on the banner of these people who desire to think as they will.
 It is essential to think of God to establish the foundations of moral life and with the foundations of moral life we have the foundations of Christian ity.

 Men are not thinking of the future life, the larger portion of our exist ence, with the larger joys of our be- ing. greater glories of immortality, and as I see it. greater service. We are being called to this life to be, as the Master says: T will raise him up at the last day" God has bidden US think of the future life. We have something to save or lose.
