dawn of affairs, as far before Christ
as we are since, more than $500 years
ago, Abraham felt its urge and went
out mot knowing WHITTIER" Thru all
the days Of the Jewish nation, voiced
in Psalm and Prophet and ringing
story, it was a living thing. Christ
added his sacifice and service. The
early church faced the Roman Empire
with a cheer and Paul, Peter, John
and the rest carried its message to
the remotest bound. Past the Dark
Ages, past the Crusades, past the era
of discovery, past the coming of de-
mocracy, past everything it is more
virile now than ever. 1t runs deep into
the history of all the race, and like
glacier, slow moving but invincible as
fate, continues to advance and send
forth streams of vivifying waters
from its foot. 1t is a part of history
but that is not a sufficient explana-
ton.
1t is the command of God. Certainly
it is and few things are able to put
more iron in the blood than that con-
seriousness. That was what started
Abraham on his journey, impelled
Jonah, stirred the church and still
calls like a bugle to its heart. Deus
vult!" Goods wills it," in the mouth
of Peter the Hermit brought all Eu-
rope into the Crusades. 1t launched
,, the Mayfiower and held Washington
and Lincoln steady. And it rs as true
today as then, and if there is any mis-
take it is Gods and not mans, for
nothing is more clearly stated than
this very thing.
1t is in accord with human nature.
Altruism, otherism, is the normal at
titude. That is true, but it is so Of
ten clouded by selfshness as to take
on a very different aspect. But it is
normal. No movement could have
carried itself against the tug of char
acter as has this one; it could only
go forward in accord with it. But
with all these things true there must
be something deeper still and that
rests in the heart of God. He loves
all men. And because He loves Christ
came, the Jewish race faced outward,
the church caught something of His
passion and youth gives itself with
the abandon of heroes to bring the
news to all the world. Nothing else
is big enough is great enough for it
to live in. Nothing else is strong
enough to hold the heart of man true
against the difficulties Of the task.
And Gods love incarnated in life is
the missionary movement we have
studied for three months. It is the
movement that will yet put Christ
upon the throne Of all the worlds and
make love their highest law.

by any other movement in all history

WELCOME HOME
BY BertOn Braley


When you drop in at my home town,
You'll find the naples dropping down
Above the drowsy streets; and see
A place that's as it used to be.
A quiet spot, far from the hum
And roar of avenue and slum
With peace upon it like a crown
When you drop in at my home town.
A half a dozen cars or more
May group without the general store
About the stove inside you'll find
The owners leisurely inclined
To sit and spit and try to fix
The rights and wrongs of politics,
And matters multifarious
Which it may please them to discuss.
The churches and the village school,
The village green, the swimming pool.
You'll find them quite unaltered
still,
They haven't changed and never
will,
So, having sensed the village ways,
And fingered for some quiet days,
You'll see why do not go down
To visit at my own home town.

ADVENTUROUS
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

The Twins went along the road OF
Mix-Up Land, asking everyone they
met where Jack Straw's palace was.
Bye and bye they met nice Old
man and asked him.
1--WE don't know where it is today"
he answered. "Some days it's on
top Of the hill. Some days it is out
on an island in ths sea, some days
it's up in the air, and the rest of tn ,
days we don't know where it is. If
it would only stay put, we could get
an army Of soldiers and put Jack
Straw out.
But you see, he has a magic ring
and whenever he sees US coming he
turns this ring and his palace hops
off to another place."
"But doesn't he ever take a walk -
asked Nick.
"Yes, he does, but it's the same
thing. very time Ne sees someone
coming he turns his ring and his
enemy suddenly finds himself stand
ing on his head or up tree, or
down well or some place like that.
We've done all we can, but it's Of
no use"

clothes she had spied bit of pur-
pie velvet. <}s

"Oh!" cried the Twins delighted
~. "Then we are going to help you.
The Fairy Queen sent US to Mix
Up Land to put Jack Straw out and
put you in. We are Nancy and
Nick, at your service"
THANK you," answered King Even
Steven, "but l fear you are going t..
have hard work of it. If Jack Straw
finds it out, he may turn his ring
and you'll find yourselves most any
place at ail-inside whales stom-
ach, or on top of church steeple or
something like that"
But we have our magic Green
