Professor Boettcher Spsaks.
Saturday evening L. H. Christian.
of Chicago, will speak on the subject,
THE Gospel to- the World or World
Evangelization."
The address Thursday night was de-
livered by Professor Boettcher He
said: 1.-THE hand Of God has been seen
in sope Of the results Of the world
war. China was a short time ago
closed to mission operations. God has
opened that country so that today the
gospel may be preached as openly as IN
America. This has been wrought by q
divine hand. The same Is true Of ia
pan ard Korea.
Zone of the reasons why this war
had to come was to liberate the $780,
zoo, 900 people of Russia Russia has
formerly been a country Of prisons.
both politically and spiritually. All
letters were censored. I have preached
with a policeman on one side Of me
and priest on the other. The po-
liceman was there to see I did not
say anything against the government
and the priest to see that I did not
say anything against the church.
War Brings Liberty.
The speaker, told of an instance OF
a man who was put in prison for read
ing the bible to a poor pearsant. He
continued There have been thous-
ands of such cases. Many were con-
demned without trial.
God allowed the war with japan to
come to Russia in 1904. and as a re-
sula Of this some liberty was given to
the people. This liberty was finally
lost again until the beginning Of the
great world war. Today the gospel
may be preached with the same free
dom in Russia as In America"
Professor Boettcher commended that
such striking results as these should
give all confidence In verse OF scrip
ture found in Daniel 2: 81, And he
changeth the times and the seasons:
he .removeth kings, and setteth up
kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise.
and knowledge to them that know I'M
6erstanding."
