|. The Value of Reviews.
1t has been my good fortune to'visit
three large environments Tor con
teltments," as the old southern mann
my called them during the last two
months. / have been at Camps john
son, Jackson and Sherman. l always
make it rule to see the battalion
parade or the review at the close of
the day, if possible. 1t is thrilling to
see long lines of men marching across
TIE field to martial music. The Off
GERS at one side review the men and
take account of their order and skill.
Men are expected to get ready for the
review. Every button, buckle and
gun must be in order. The review is
worth while because it is discipline
hYilging order and system and skill.
1t suggests also the purpose for
-hich these men gather. During the
iyil War Julia Ward Howe visited
IL. ~ ii
;lat, it is said, she arose in the night
:, write the great words of the Bat
;,e Hymn of the Republic" One verse
at least we ought to quote here:
Il have seen Him in the watch fires
of hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar in
the evening dews and damps;
can read His righteous sentence by
the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
We are now reviewing the lessons
of the second quarter of 1918. What
have you learned about Christ's life?
What fresh impression of His teach
ing has come to you? Have you n
deeper sense of His authority than
ever before? DO you realize that His
Kingdom is marching on to the vic
tory?
III. The Christ.
After Peters experience with Jesus,
le said to Him: "ThOu art the Christ,
lie Son of the living God!" Did
Christ assume to be, in unique the
son of Gody How did He justify
Il at claim? Is He therefore to be
plt on par with Zoroaster, Confu-
c,us, Buddha, or Mrs. Mary Glover
Paker Eddy? If not, why not?
Because Jesus is different from
every other religious teacher in the
y orld we seek to make Him King and
acknowledge that He is King in our
hearts. IN the summer of 1889 the
students at Northfield were electrified
by cablegram from Japan. In it the
Christian students of the Sunrise
Kingdom sent this striking message
Make Jesus King To us, in whose
hearts and lives selfishness had still
gIeat. and with some it may be in
creas!ng. power; to us, away from
God and in need of a great Leader tC
bring us back to the Father; to us
as along the way of Jesus life we
lave come to the cross--to us
through the ocean of Gods grace
there comes this loving message
charged with the electricity of Gods
love: Make Jesus King Well fol
MS if we can sing: The King of love
my Shepherd Is. AS the good shep
herd who laid down his life for tn,
sheep, in the fatherhood of God Jesus
saw one clue to life and followed 1t.
no follow him is to find the Father.
Ill. Looking Backward.
"In his best book, after setting
forth love as the greatest thing In TIN
world Henry Drummond lays dow
the challenge to his readers that l
they will read Pauls great hymn o
love IN Cor, ch. 13, once day, AM
every day for a month the readin
