appointment of 10 laymen to pre-
cede and prepare His way through
Perea.
Theirs was not a permanent task,
like that of the Twelve Apostles.
They were special mission for
Perea. They had not had the long
and special training or the ofilcial
status of the Apostles. They we're
preparers and propagandists, sort
of John the Baptist group. They
were hidden to travel light and to
waste no time in ceremonious Salu-
tations. For suStenance they were to
depend on Oriental hospitality. They
were ambassadors Of peace and en-
dowed with their Lords own gifts
of healing and exorcism. When their
task was successfully accomplished,
they returned rejoicing to Jesus to
report.
These are days to muse upon the
mission of these 10 laymen. The
great task of rehabilitating the Ma
ton in its spiritual morale for the
present emergency cannot all be
done by preachers or oflcial agen-
cies. Every concerned layman should
become a missionary Of the profound
truths that underlie our defense
against pagan aggression.
As New Orleans Men Did 1t.
Recently I was in New Orleans
where I found under way a lay
mems project that should spread
over. the continent Concerned for
spiritual defense, the members OF
the Kiwanis Club called upon all
the other service clubs to cooperate
with them in promoting "go-to-
church" campaign. The assent was
prompt and hearty. And those lay
men, who had not consulted or been
melted by the clergy or the churches,
were doing a most efficient job while
was there. They had placarded
the citv with great posters, and filled

Few travellers in Palestine ever
cross the Jordan to this history
crowded region where Jesus spent
the closing weeks Of His ministry;
and where He established q lay
mems movement by sending out the
10 to precede His own arrival. This
Perea, as the great district was then
called, was crowded with cities, some
of which still stand, bearing their
Biblical names and laden with
memories of Scripture events. No
tourist has really seen the Holy
Land until he has crossed the
Jordan, and the Brook Jabbok, to
visit the marvellous ruins Of Jerash.
The element of danger has kept
visitors away from this romantic
land where so much of the Old and
New Testament story was enacted.
1t has more than ruins and tradi-
tions: it is the most fertile part
Of the Holy Land; and when peace
and safety come permanently to the
Near East 1t will be heavily settled.
1t is of more than passing inter-

United Nations are now showing q

the shop windows with display
cards, and circulated small stickers,
and held meetings, and utilized
newspaper publicity, all to cry aloud
spiritual defense" They spent .
large amount Of money and un-
measured effort to point out that
the first step in undergirding the
peoples morale is to attend church
and to support religion. I nominate
those New Orleans laymen, and all
who follow their noble example, as
successors to the 10 whom Jesus
sent forth to prepare people for His
own arrival.
Recent war history substantiates
such activity. Manila and Hong
Kong and Singapore fell to the foe
because they had been defended
only on the seaward side; land ap-
proaches had been left open to an
unexpected attack. Our national
material defenses have been ample;
never before in history have people
had so many accessories Of COM
fort and ease and activity. We have
built a civilization Of things. All
the while we have stupidity neglected
the defenses of the spirit. We have
let idealism and religion slump, for
getting that the citadel of the soul
is the ultimate defense. Now this
war Is upon us, and it is primarily
and essentially . struggle for the
great Christian ideals which made
us q Nation.
Two by Two.
A fine old man recently called
upon me, in . city I was visiting. to
talk over q plan he had worked out
for the remaking Of the world. In
his loneliness he had brooded over
an Impractical idea until it had
obsessed him. Many other solitary
spirits are having the same expe-
rience.' They lack the corrective Of
comradely counsel. Jesus wisely
specified that the 10 should 60
forth two by two. for mutual COM
fort and protection and wisdom.
All through the New Testament We
find workers in pairs. Many Catho-
lie orders made this q rule. Two
persons have more than twice the
power Of one.
And when two Christians fare
forth upon service there Is always
Third with them. I'VE are laborers
together with God" Gods COM
mands are Gods enablings." The
70 found themselves possessed of
undreamed-of power. and Fol-
lowed by unexpected success. In the
fellowship of ministry there is q
sure release Of personality's capa-
bilities.
Something of this caused the ex-
ultant outburst Of Jesus as the
70 returned. They had proved
that the best things Of God are for
the simplest spirits. He underworld,
as it were, the plain qualifications
Of these ordinary laymen. Their ac-
tivity was a veritable revelation of
the Father Himself.
Some of us who spend our days
and nights in pondering the prob
lems Of these times see, in the wide
spread spiritual concern of the .peo-
pie and in the impulse toward per-
sonal activity for spiritual defense.
the opportunity for . great upsurge
of new life, which win advance the
social order Of the world by a thou
sand years. We also see the posi-
bility Of the chance being missed, rs
it was missed Is years ago, and more
than once before. -
