mo NATION LIVETH
UNTO ITSELF

Japan is more powerful than Christian.
We have not done our duty by that in
teresting and rising nation, and We are
paying for our neglect of duty. Who
shall say what the final bill of cost
may amount to?
America has now an opportunity to
contribute much to the pacifcation of
the world through the more than 50-0n0
foreign students who have come INTO eJS
colleges and universities since the war
in Europe began. But most of these
students are being taught in the wealthy
nberalistic institutions in which evangel-
zeal christianity operates most feebly.
Our Christian colleges, in which evangel-
zeal christianity prevails, must be made
strong financially with the utmost speed.
God is sending US the wise men of the
east that we may direct them to the
feet of Jesus. We must not allow them
TO be misled by unchristian institutions
and unchristian teachers. Both their
welfare and our own interests require
us to do our duty by them. Will we do
our duty, or suffer the fearful conse-
quences of not meeting the obligation,
an obligation which God has sent us.
With their amazing wealth the Amer
lean people have the material resources
needed for the evangelization of the
world Will they save the world and
save thereby themselves, or will their
money be their ruin, and the ruin of all
mankind?
The immense wealth of our country
will provide the cupidity of other ma
tions, and its power derived from it's
wealth will incite their jealousy. There
fore, our resources will be as dangerous
as they are potent. They cannot rende~
US immune from attack, but may pro-
woke assaults upon us Our peace and
safety will be in proportion to our right
eousneSS and benevolence in dealing
with other nations. There is no security
for individuals or nations in selfShness.
Love is their surest safeguard.
Our incalculable wealth is the gift Of
God for the welfare of mankind. 1t is
stored power to be delivered on the great
benevolent and Christian enterprises or
ganized for the blessing of the world.
1t is a trust fund from God for the
benefit of the human race, and He will
hold us to a strict account for its faith
full administration.
1t must be confessed that many of our
people are wasting much of this treas
ure upon hurtful luXuries. When thus
expended it is worse than wasted. Such
use of it enfeebles the moral forces in
our own nation while it withhOlds
evangelical influences from other lands.
These momentous times call for the
most conscientious use of our resources
No human intelligence can foresee the
events which are near at hand. But
while we can not forecast all that even
the near future holds in store, it is per-
fectly clear that the world must be
Christian world. if il is TO be at all Ana
whether the world is to be Christian or
un-Christian depends in great meas
ure upon how the people or the United
States meet the sacred obligations which
