the citizens of the kingdom of heaven
and the subjects of King Jesus. In
this time of crisis on the mission fields,
the first call issued by the king is pre-
paredness in the higher Christian life
among the church people. Having pre-
pared for the Christian warfare the
next call is for those not yet enrolled
In the missionary societies to volunteer
for service, in their own local societies.
To those already in the missionary
army comes the call to press the battle
with greater enthusiasm and earnest
ness and to all comes the call fer
sacrificial Offering of money and con-
secrated lives to carry on this world
conquering war for King Jesus.
AT every point along our far flung

lies at the call of king and country.
this generation may yet see the banner
of the cross uplifted over the whole
