CONSIDERATION
NEED Of WORLD
Or. E. A. Van Mugs Declares
Christianity Will End
War Tendencies.

one OF the most inspiring ad-
dresses yet given during the state
convention was delivered by Or. Z.
A. Van Nuys Wednesday afternoon
at the First NJ z. church. he spoke
on The Sunday School and the
World Task"
DR.. Van Nuys began his address
by stating that IL was the task of
TO Christ. and that not before it had
accomplished this undertaking could
il rest assured that IL had fulfilled
its obligation 10 God.
The work OF winning the world
20 Christ" said Or. Van Nuys. "is
an obligation that has fallen upon
the shoulders Of the Sunday school
But not only is it an obligation, but
also a fascination. We cannot deny
that there is not fascination TO a
work in which is involved the win
ming OF souls.
That the task is an obligation IS
plainly seen in the Bible and the
teachings Of Christ. Moreover il is
seen from the great conflict in
which the world is now engaged
This last is the best proof
Two Factors Fall.
1T is clear that Christianity is
the only thing that will bring this
war to a successful close. Science
has failed, education has failed
everything has failed. And but one
% -
tianity.
There are three great pests in
this world-famine, pestilence and
war. Commerce has overcome the
first and science the second. But
the third has not been overcome.
and Will not be until the world be-
comes Christian. Not partially
Christian. but fully Christian.
But taking it for granted that
the task of winning the world TO
Christ is an obligation. how are We
10 realize this fact? There are three
things by which We are brought TO
a realization-ed ucation, coopera-
ton and consecra ton. Once We are
educated in the works OF God, we
are bound TO see the obligation OF
winning the world TO Him. and
therefore we will act accordingly.
After this comes cooperation, the
working with and for one another
IN the attainment OF an eEd And
thirdly we have conservation. and
once We are consecrated 10 God We
can work wonderland no barrier

Roll Call OF Counties.
Following Or. Van Nuys' address,
the financial statement OF the con
vention was read by G. y. Burnie.
