British government has appointed
my good friend, Lord Reith, to the

Many high-minded persons are

not understood. Now, after giving
them their great commission, the
risen Master definitely instructed
them to tarry for this supernatural
enduement. By His help, they could
become prevailing witnesses and
world-conquerers.
This vast truth is not easy for
material-minded men to grasp.
Spiritual resources are not as read
lily tabulated as planes and ships
and guns and tanks. That there is
a spirit in the world, reinforcing
righteousness and insuring its final
victory, is only to be apprehended
by the spiritually minded. Such may
see, in the spacious perspective of
history, how that spirit has been
abroad in the world, inspiring and
sustaining all cooperative personal
ties. With new zest and under
standing, Christians should be
sounding the New Testament Sl0-
gan, This is the victory that over
cometh the world, even our faith.
Today's real war is less against Hit
Ter than against the spiritual forces
of darkness which he represents and
embodies.
The Great War.
Scholars may analyZe the truth
which the average person dimly ap-
prehends, that there is eternal war
in the world between two opposing
forces. Every great national litera-
ture-from before the days of Per-
sia's Zoroastrianism, with its two
contending principles of Mazda, OF
Ormazd, or light and Ahriman, OF
darkness-has dramatized this ideal
of the struggle between good and
evil Pauls expression of it as a
dual personality within him is IA
miliar to Bible students. Our cur
rent world war may be so con-
ceived. Lowell's familiar lines, in
The Present Crisis" carry the mes
sage:
Once TO every man and nation
comes the moment to decide,
In the strife tWix truth and false
hood, for the good or evil side
Some great cause, Gods new mes
siah, offering each the bloom OF
blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand
and the sheep upon the right
And the choice goes by forever
'twiX that darkness and that
light"
Long ago the issue would have
been decided had it not been for one
factor-the inclination of mans free
spirit toward sin. AS Arthur Barnel
has written: The will of man seems
to be Gods only problem The
forces of nature obey Him. The
stars move in the course He has sci
for them. He holds the sea in the
hollow of His hand. But man de-
fieS Him, and impedes the progress
of His plan for the human race
Gods kingdom will be estab.
lShed on earth just as rapidly as
the children of men yield their wills
to Him"
To persuade people everywhere tc
accept and follow Gods will. instead
OF their own wayward impulses, is
the work of the witnessing aposta-
late. Jesus laid this charge upon
His friends as His farewell message
Disdaining all social and political
and geographical boundaries, they
were to go forth to change the
minds and purposes and characters
OF all the people; so that Gods will
may be done and His kingdom come
That is the whole of what we call
Christian missions.
