that are ready to listen to the call
coming from the Kingdom.

Then DR.. Clark also speaks of an
other great feature of this campaign
end reminds us that it would be well
to raise during the next TWO years a
million new dollars for missions The
greatest need in America and the
church to-day is for consecrated men

during the next two years, to be con-
tributed to either home or foreign
mission boards of their denomination

campaign for millions that will ap-

Endeavors' worldwide propaganda for
peace. We want a million new men,
bers of the peace union.

citizens of a nation, determined II

OF their country that its peace may be
preserved. One need not go into the
details of the horrors of war. General
Sherman has already told us what il

shall come to us, but listen to the song
of the guns as it was written by some
one and as it comes to us across the
waters of the Atlantic.
