has discovered no substitute. The
star of Bethlehem is the only star
that never sets. Jesus Christ alone
can satisfy all human necessities and
the Hottest of human inspirations.
Christianity is the only universal re-
ligion, the only one adapted to all
ages Of life, to all human conditions,
to all races ana all nationalitics.
Other lights have arisen, waned and
vanished forever. The Greek myth
ology is as utterly shaken to ruin as
its own splendid Parthenoh. The
chief religions Of Asia-3rahman-
ical, Buddhist and Moslem-are all
limited and local; they are all mort
bund. While they make no inroads
on Christianity. the religion Of Beth
lehem and Calvary makes constant
inroads upon them. The systems Of
error which Paul and Peter fought
have vanished out Of sight, and the
whole East is catching glimpses Of
the star that first dawned over Ju-
IDEAS sky. In spiritual dynamics

gospel Of salvation to the most pow
erful races on the globe.
