II want to take Christ as the ideal
Of my life, and believe, young peo-

Is nothing comparable to Him. How
God can use you to impress your life

up to 1914 we had interpreted the
work OF the church in various fash
ions. 1t seems to me that we have
learned some very interesting things
from this great cataclysm through
which we have just passed One OF
the great things that has arisen from
this great cataclysm is that we have
gotten to appreciate more and more
the great fundamental Christian idea
OF the world and of the Christian
church The idea of God has come
back to stay with our men and come
back to stay with our church. We
have come TO appreciate man as man.
and we have come to believe in him
not as a thing but as a person. Then
there is the value of the church. At
the beginning OF the war men said the
church has failed. They said we were
not rising to the occasion, but they
haven't said that any more. Whec
we sent our men-when we sent our
Y. NJ G. A. workers-whena we gave.
orr best men to give to them the mes
same Of Jesus they felt that somehow
the church was rising to the occasion.
Then there is the great fundamental
Christian idea of the cross of Christ
how like mighty, flamingsto has
the cross OF Christ come to the view
of men. So in a new. sense this great
fundamental idea OF the power OF the
croos Of Christ has Gene back to be
with us. Then there is the new an
probation OF Jesus Christ himself,
With war at home and abroad and un-
rest everywhere. it seems to me that
we are coming to the place where, like
he apostle OF old we are going to
grip ourselves. to grid ourselves about.
for the new task Of the new day.
THE first problem of the church IS
he problem Of the church activities,

that con set the world on fire If it
were harnessed up tell you would
