To-day" said DIR. Diffenderfer, I'VE
have an opportunity to show the
world that we are really looking unto
Him who is the author and hnlsher OF
our faith. The interchurch world
movement, which has program that
reaches unto the uttermost parts OF
the earth, challenges the faithfulness.
which will make for righteousness
and holiness and truth. Take time 10
be holy; the world rushes on. FAITH
fulness unto death shall receive
crown of life eternal.
Life is what we make of 1t. We
see what WI are looking for. This is
the time when faithfulness is required
All classes and everybody can be faith
full. All may not be great nor rich
nor learned nor powerful in influence,
but all can be faithful. This gives
life a new meaning. The world has
been selfish and the nations have been
paid a dear price for their narrow
greed. The world Graves for the true
spirit of heipfulness and sympathy,
which we should have in a very marked
degree
