 For a little bit of love;
 For the love that rights a wrong, Fills the heart with hope and song;
 They have waited, oh, so long,
 For little bit of love. 4
 From the poor of every city.
 Hands are reaching out in pity,
 For little bit of love;
 Some have burdens hard to bear,
 Some have sorrows we should share;
 Shall they falter and despair,
 For little bit of love."g
 Emerson says that "the difference between men is one is just man, the other is man, seeing, hearing, thinking tence may be enlarged-the difference between men is one is just a man, the other is a man, seeing, hearing, thinking and acting. As the throng moves along eyer and anon some. individual sees something. E
 For twelve long years Elias Howe worked on the sewing machine. His wife was invited to an old-fashioned quitting in Worchester. In some incl dental way as she sat at the quilt, she passed 8 threaded alarming needle up side down through the quilt. A little girl incidentally slipped a thread through the loop and she drew it back. Returning home that evening she, said,
 "Elias. have discovered the secret of your sewing machine, problem. You ueed to turn the needle upside down and fix a little arm the pass the thread" Taking her suggestion. within two weeks he gave the world the sewing machine. A sympathetic heart wide to the home task caught vision and the homes of the world are enjoying the fruits of it.
 The title of Roger Babson's last book is. What Is SuccessF' He tells us that in a careful business examination of all the important institutions of our country he finds in every one that the success is due to one man. When we think of the steamship and what it has meant to the department of traffic, we think of Fulton: When we hear the click of the telegraph which has brought the world in speaking distance, we think of Morse: When we touch button and turn on a system of ;ncandescent lights we think of Edison, and so through the whole list of great discoveries, factories and developments. there is member in particular"-one man.
 Mir. Babson names six words begin ming with the letter ''I' as words rep resenting the traits of character Tn the outstanding men in the business world. The same traits would make members in particular" in the church of God His first characteristic word is Integrity" J. P. Morgan is the. example. This wizard of finance, who guided the country through the panics of 1893, 1903 and 1907, true to the principles of accuracy an. integrity and persistent effort to do the task. brought men together for the common good. Seeing the need and feeling a responsibility, he organized around his integrity the forces that saved the country financially. How we need such force in the spiritual realm How we need men with honest. de- pendable, courageous determination to save our country in time of moral and spiritual crisis such as we are passing through today! Men whose integrity will command the faith of men! Men who will assume the responsibility and undertake the task!
 Edison, whose genius has lighted the world and filled the home with music, the prodigious worker, with an open eye and the persistence of earnest toll above his meat and his sleep, is the example of "Mdustry." How such vision and industry could bless the church! How many homes could be frightened, how music could be made to take the place of the sighs and moans of sins wreckage if only we had Christians with such vision and per sistence in Christian service!
 
 John D. Rockefeller who walked with the throng over the hills where the coal beds were banked and the oil wells lay sleeping, is the example of 'In- telligence." Not the intelligence of science and literature acquired by the colleges and universities but thorough knowledge of one business. His vision, intelligence and power to organize have changed the affairs of the world and touched every city and village of the United States. The church is waiting for men who will acquire a knowledge of the truth and the newest and best methods to get it to the people.
 Samuel Insult, with Initiative" and almost reckless adventure realized that the progressive world of today needs power. Starting as an office boy at $125 per week, he has arisen, as MT. Babson tells us, to the command of a working force of 10000 people pro-. ducing a power which sells for a million dollars week. The inert, slowly moving church of God needs a consecration of such initiative and planning for the development of a spiritual power that will move the American. nation.
 Mir. Babson represents George Lori mer of the Saturday Evening Post as the "Intense" man, whiose whole mind and soul was on one thing. N Every faculty of his mind and soul and every energy of his body focused on the Sat urday Evening Post. Day and night his intensity was aflame. How we need Lorimer in the church of God who will determine as he determined and cOnsecrate as he cOnsecrated and intensity as he was intense on bringing some department of the church to. the realization of its full efficiency.
 George Eastman who put the kodak in almost every home in the world, who laid with his own money the foundation of the famous Massachu- sette Institute of Technology which has sent out men like Roger Babson among it's graduates. was consumed with the unquenchable fire of enthusi- astic Interest" to find the last word in picture making, He travelled, studied. experimented, went through many hardships and priyations but succeed ed The world is waiting, oh, so earn osfIv and 0athAffcalfv rvaifinON fnF
