WORLD Is REDEEMrD
TiIROJGH Personal SALVATION
The result OF salvation is a new crca-
iurc. y man gives his heart tn Christ
and Drays that the blood shed on CAL
vary may wash him clean. and what is
the result? He begins Il new life. He
respects himself. for he is now Gods
child. He goes about doing good for
he wishes to bring others to the Christ
who saved him In this way. through
personal salvation, The world is re-
deemed. The naked savage hears the
Gospel and accepts Christ as his Sa-
vior. At once he clothes himself he
brings others to Christ. he improves
his habits. his home. his community.
Every missionary knows this And as
we preach the Gospel everywhere this
change comes. Instead o. tho thorn
comes the fr tree and instead of the
briar comes the myrtle tree. Instead
Of hatred and cruelty comes good will
Instead OF tho saloon comes the church
Instead OF bad rulers come good rulers
Instead OF anarchy and oppression and
slavery and injustice comes brother
hood.
But. you say. have these good things
come? Why then. the wrongs which
we dcplore? Why this awful European
war? And tie answer is that true
Christianity has not gotten hold OF
men. They have not really accepted
Christ as their Savior. Their religion
is simply a refined barbarism And IL
may be that this Is why God has per-
mittcd this awful war to come that
Christ's words to Nlcodamus may be
realized: "Ye must be born again." God
has TO use severe methods with men
