From Each His Own

Christianity is today an interna-
donal religion, though it started
off as the religion of a few Asiatic
Jews. But Jesus was scarcely out
OF his cradle before those men of
the East came, and they were IT,
first of a long line from every "a
ton and race in the world.
In America we think Of Christian
ity as almost an American re-
hgion; but it is not. Americans
have brought much to Christianity,
their energy, daring, pioneering
spirit, their practical slant on
everything, these have given to
Christianity In North America q
color" and style" all its own.
But we are not the only Chris
tians, perhaps not even the best
ones. There are Indian Christians,
and Chinese Christians; there are
Christians among the Eskimos and
Zulus. There is some Christianity
behind the Iron Curtain; 1t is found
In Scotland, Sweden, Spain. Ell Sal
vador.
And while we are all brothers
under the skin, the fact remains
that 1T takes all kinds OF Christians
to make the Christian world, and TO
make the world Christian. Our
missionaries do not 60 out TO make
American Christians; they go to
make Christians. And every one
who comes to Christ brings some
thing which is specially his own.
AS Rev. John MonseIl's hymn has
it:
Fear not to enter His courts in
the slenderness
OF the poor wealth thou wouldst
reckon as thine:
Truth in its beauty, and love in
its tenderness.
These are the offerings to lay on
His shrine"

Wealth

Think what difference it won,
make, if suddenly every Chris,iar
in the world decided that tie
Lords work could get along just
as well without being offered a.
other cent. No new churches wou,
be built; existing churches would
fall into decay because no ono
would pay for their repair (and
free labor wouldn't do it, because
that too is a form of wealthy. Home
and foreign missions would come
to an end. Christian schools, hos
pitfalls and colleges would close
down. No Christian books of any
kind could be printed. Radio re-
ligious broadcasts would cease, be-
cause there would not be any one
to pay for them, and even the
free" time, which always costs
the station something, could no
longer be offered.

out the world. The work of trans
lating can never stop, because Ian
guages keep changing; the English
and the French of this century are
not the same as they were CEN
turtles ago, and Bibles translated
for those times become hard to
understand in our day.
Not that new English transla-
ton is needed every few years; but
somewhere, all the time, into some
language or other, this work is be-
, ing carried on. 1t is no simple Job:
a translator must not only know
Greek and Hebrew, but also, and
very thoroughly, the language into
which he translates. Most good
translations are made by groups,
for many heads are better than
one, at this work.
When we add to the work of the
hanslators all that other scholars
have done, all the brain work that
has gone into the printing and bind
ing of the books and distributing
them in many ways; we can see
what the devotion of intellectual
talents has meant, through the &c
turtles. to the Christian religion
