Men who have honor; men who will

All of our studies in the life of
Jesus are made freshly vivid by the
activities of the armies in the Holy
Land. Where Jesus walked the sol
diers of Canada and Australia and
Great Britain now march. In real
sense they follow in His train.
They are the successors of His disci-
pies of old. Reverently we may say
that Jesus still walks with them
amid the scenes dead to His feet. He
is in Palestine to-day in newness
and 1argeness of power, working out
great world purposes through armies
who fight for righteousness.
The very designs of God seem to
be contingent upon the issues of this
war. 1t is such vast and holy con-
siderations that make us willing to
give ourselves and our sons to the
struggle, sure that they are thus full
filling the divine end OF destiny. The
throb of eXultation which went
through Christendom at the capture
of Jerusalem, a city not especially
important from a military stand
point. revealed how closely thoughts
of religion are interwoven with the
war.
