How the children of the hills aa well aa the children of the town* need thia light, "the holy Scrip ture* which are able to make the* wiae unto aalvation through faith which is In Christ Jeaus." Among my boyhood associates a number be came lawbreakers. With one ex ception they were brought up with out being sent Ao Sunday school. The debts my father failed to collect dur ing his life of ever aeventy yean were owed by thoae who were taught to tolerate blockading and to' look with conUupt upon the Sunday school.

Christ wept over the city right under His own eyes hecauae her children would not allow ( themselves to be gathered under Hii wings. These should naturally have been the first fruits of His call to repentance when the kingdom waa proclaimed aa present. How can we weep over the lost condition of the heathen and care nothing for tboee whom our eyes have seen?

Dr. Potest cited Socialism, Prussian ism and education as proper methods that are inadtquate. Dr. Poteat de clared that w i must have anarchy or have Christ. "Christ never spoke one word which has ever been discounted by all the knowledge of progress sine* his day," he said. Relating some of hia own personal Christian experi ences, Dr. Poteat declared that the need of the world is not for 'new schemes of government, bat new men, and new man can b* mad* only by Christ.
