minds are pondering the sort OF
new world order that will follow
the present war. These ideas do not
always get into print; but, make no
mistake about it, they bulk large in
the thinking and talk of the sober
minded, who recognize that clylll-
zation simply cannot continue along
its old predatory way. ,
This resolution to achieve a new
state of things in human society is
the deepest-running tide OF our time.
Along the frothy edges of it are
many crack-pot schemes. But the
real movement was begun by Jesus
when He chose IL of His closest
friends to pioneer the program. He
envisaged the Kingdom of Heaven
as the ideal form of society. While
He created no organization, He did
set in motion a propaganda that
began with His first personal dis
ciples, and has continued, in in
creasing power, throughout the CEN
turieS since.
The Master Propagandist.
In a day beset by petty, and often
stupid, propaganda, it is helpful to
stand aside and take a long look,
down the ages and over the whole
earth, at the achievements of this
Master Propagandist. For it was
by propaganda alone that Jesus
planned to win mankind for the
Kingdom. True, there have been
periods when sections of His church
have sought to achieve their ends
by the exercise of authority and
force; but, in the large view, these
have all miscarried. Tell the Story,
and live it out-that was Christ's S
program.
Several points arise for comment
as we contemplate the great propa-
ganda and its beginnings. First is
the utter absence of selfish motives.
Not for gain or glory were the dis
ciples sent forth. Second, they were
to expect sacrifice, hardship, rebuffs,
even death. At one period OF the
Evening star., 1939-12-02

Early Church the zeal for martyr
dom was SO excessive among the
Christians that their leaders were
obliged to warn sternly against it.
The Anti God Forces.
The Gospel Propaganda ran as a
great gulf of division through man
kind. Jesus warned that it would
sever the closest ties and set dear
ones against one another. There
cannot be two supreme allegiances.
And for loyalty to Christ men and
women have gone songfully to death
at stake and by sword; they have
been torn by wild beasts and have
suffered exile, prison and every sort
OF deprivation. Our present-day
missionaries in China have been
fellow partakers with the Early
Church of suffering and service. BY
all who put the Kingdom first, the
Great Propaganda has continued its
eVer-vlctorlous sway. Even the pres
ent war has as its deepest division
between Christian and anti-Chris-
tian ideals.
Steadily the deep Christian con-
sclousnesS of the Western World is
awakening to realization that three
aVoWedly anti-God nations are at
War-Germany, Russia and Japan.
Before ever they joined battle with
other powers, they were conducting,
as a matter of national policy and
strategy, definite propaganda
against God and Christ. While
everybody knows about the fierce
"anti-God' campaign of Russia, and
OF Germany's plea for a return to
paganism, and her cruel internment
OF Pastor NlemOeller, and scores of
other pastors, as we'll as her bitter
persecution of Jews, few have heard
OF JapanS course in Korea, and of
the real significance of the revival
of Shintoism.
Looking for Life"
Alas that so many misguided and
ignorant youth should be looking for
life" in places where death turks!
1t is in Christian confession and
discipleship that life" is really
found-life in its depths of meaning.
With profound philosophy, Jesus
told His disciples that "he that
loseth his life for My sake shall find
it" The sting is taken from life by
the person who prizes kingdom goals
above his own existence or comfort
or pleasure. In a very real sense,
we are not fit to live unless We are
ready to die. That is the soldiers
faith. All of us instinctively revolt
against the current cult which pic
lures as the supreme goal a mere
prolongation of physical existence.
Our Master laid down His life in the
full flower of young manhood.
But enough talk of living and
dying. We must find room for an
allusion to the closing verse of this
great tenth chapter of Matthew.
Lest His disciples should become too
exalted, too high and mighty, Jesus
reminded them that as a part of
their mission they should give cup
Of cold water to thirsty child. He
fixed the practice of His propaganda
on the level of everyday life where
today uncounted millions are put
ting it into operation.
