We are now far north with Jesus IN

Her faith leaps forth. She admits the
first claim of the children, but pleads
that crumh to a heather will not rob
them of their bread She falls in humbly
with the plan of God to bless first his
own people, but presses with the per-
ststence of mother-ioYe her great need.
But faith, trust like hers, In the law and
essence Of the new Kingdom; and this
woman by its possession proves that she
is no heather dog but child of the
the child, and thereby begins the greater
deliyerance of his disciples from race
hatred and race-pride.
What is this we hear from across the
being a chosen racer What is it we
sometimes hear about the Anglo-Saxon
being intended to dominate the earth?
That is not Christianity. Has a people

Then it has Gods own future before it.
Who knows what the yellow races may
yet become? Race is nothing. Faith
linking race or a man to God is ev-
