Weekly Devotional Column By JAMES MacKBNZIE At one time during his exile on the island of St. Helena, a friend asked Napoleon Bonaparte. “Who was the greatest warrior the world has ever known?” Without hesi tation the former Emperor of France and master of all Europe answered, “Jesus Christ.” “You have not always talked that way.” answered his friend. “When you were winning battles, even up to tile very time of Waterloo, you left tile impression that you were the world’s greatest warrior.” Here is Napoleon’s reply: ''Vos, I have al ways acted as though 1 thought I was the world’s greatest conqueror.. I have had lots of time to think since 1 have liceti here on this island. The Caesars, Alexander the ill. ;t.

I hear nothing but the waves ns they bite at the I rocks beneath my feet. But after But after 1800 years have gone in- I to the tomb of time, Christ calls and men answer. II need lie, they follow him into the heart of Afri ca; but, better still, they live pa tient and triumphant lives in His name. Yes, the other warriors and I will ride down to dust, but Christ will live forever.” O where are kings and empires now? As 1 read the words of Na poleon, my mind turned to another, far greater than Napoleon, the tier mail saint, scholar and reformer, Martin Luther. Flinging defiance to the combined forces of the world, the flesh and the devil, ho pledged his loyalty to Christ. "The Great est Warrior the world has ever known,” and proclaimed with cour age and conviction, “llier St oh ich; ioh kann nights anders. Gott belle mir. Amen" (Here I stand; 1 can not do otherwise: God help me. Amen). Does the history of this World afford any secular example of eon rage and devotion compar able to that of Martin Luther, or John Hus, or William Tyndale, or the young missionaries in Soutn America who just this past week, . laid down their lives in the service of God ? I think not. llow can it .

The army of Christ is more powerful today than j it was in Napoleon’s time; and those who belonged to it at that time are yet alive today, basking in the presence of their Lord.
