all the churches are uniting In this

With all these forces thoroughly
consecrated to the Master we should
be able to go over the top Into "No
Man's Land" of sin and rescue num

i The Devil is never happier than
when he can get God's people conten

In comparison to the ?ll Important
subject of salvation, everything else
takes second place. Therefore let the
meetings take their proper place and.
all other claims be held In the back?
ground for these two weeks. Let
homes and business be conducted so
as to get most out of this great har
vesting season. "For what doth It
profit a man if he gain the whole
world and loose his own soul."
To prevent sickness and death the
health department speaks of "Clean
Up Week". For the same reason in
a spiritual realm such a campaign is
badly needed. When any citizen
falls to conform to the law of sanita
tion the health of his neighbor is en
dangered. Just so we should be very
careful of our influence uppon others.
Let every?christian be present at
all services, standing at attention
ready to obey the command of the
great leader. ? ?
