 When Major Reed wos ordered to Cuba in 1900, little was known about yellow fever. Hundreds of Americans were dying. and there was no way of checking this dead- ly enemy.

THE VALUE. OF CHRISTIANITY
Christianity is of unnnumerated
value; it serves as a means OF
crowning the heads of every ma
ton: it feeds the hungry, clothes
the naked, sets at liberty those
bound; it conquers the enemy,
befriends the friendleSs. and proves
to the world that not everyone who
says Lord, Lord shall enter the
kingdom.
This version of Christianity en-
ables us to see the few dark spots
in the lily white garments that We
often claim to wear. A mask, or a
false face is used as a disguise so
often that robbers and thieves take
the advantage of the unSuSpecting
by hiding in public places and aft
er committing their unlawful Oh
fenses, sneak to the dark and dis
robe. They very often BATTLE eX-
perienced peace officers and evade
persecution for many years; but
there is a peace officer, who can
not be evaded, the officer OF
Heaven.
God has a time to bring every
fugitive to justice and declares
lust verdict. He alone has method
of dealing with scoffers and scorn-
ers and deceiver There are those
who know but little of Gods word
and are forced to depend on minds
of leaders who know less. These
so-called leaders prove their IN
feriority by the man,/er Of treat
ing one another. 1t is a proven TACT
that BY their fruits, ye shall know
them To preach is to teach, and
we teach not alone by words, but
by precepts and example. We often
forget the teachings of the Mas
ter. DO unto others, as ye would
have them do unto you, Love thy
neighbor as thy self; forgive men
their trespasses that your Heaven
| ly Father may forgive you." So few
leaders observe these well known
codes of life, that the weak very
often say, 'I hear what he IS say
ing. but 1 cannot see what he is
doing.
Christianity is result OF the
drawing out of mankind these
principles laid down for us to fol-
low.
