Rome itself became the chief center from which for many years bands of mis sionarie swent out to spread Chris tianity to other nations. The good news of Christ's victory over death and sin, and of man's right to triumph in His name was preached to the naked barbarians of Germany and ' Britain. Those lowly people, in response, arose from: the darkness of ages, clothed themselves iii the garments of civilization and advanced toward world leadership. "Time would fail us" to tell of all the great men who 'h vac gone forth in the spirit and courage of the Savior to carry spiritual light to those who "sat in -darkness." Christianity was the force which sent men like David Livingstone, John Baton, and William Duncan coursing through stormy seas to carry a message of love that would chaime the hearts of men who had been filled with the spirt of savagery. Christianity is the force which has freed slaves throughout the world, lifted women to a place of honor, and set in motion great efforts for the education and edification of humanity. Into the horror of the Crimean War, went Florence Nightingale, the blessed "lady with the lamp," ministering to the sufering Russian and British sol diers. From this 'started the Red Cross work which has" caused the healing of many more diseased per sons than could touch the hem of Jesus' garments when He walked the roads of earth. The knightly spirit of .Christ, living in the hearts and minds of his followers; is battling against the social wrongs which cause' poverty, war,, and shame. It is trying to build up a great brother hood of man under the Fatherhood of God. When wc think of the heathen multitudes who are raising children faster than wc are making converts to Christianity, when we think how many people are living selfish lives and thinking only about worldly things, wc' would dispair of man if it were not for Jesus, "the bright and morning Star." He has told us that , there is coming a bright day when all the' nations shall join in the chorus, "Glory to God in the highest; peace of earth, good will to men." But the work of Christianity in transforming the lives of individuals is as real a revelation of what our religion is as is its power to change nations and governments. Napoleon the Great admitted that the Words of Jesus had more influence eighteen centuries after they were spoken than did his o.wn words and presence with his men. The great Emperor con sidered this as proof . that Christ was divine. . ' Of course there are many who hear the call of Christianity and follow the voice for a short time and then have returned their old ways. But all of us can think of persons whose lives have really been changed by the power of Christianity real examples of twice-born men. The change in such lives shows both the power and the character of Christianity. ' ; The Bible is the Christians guide, book. It makes clear to him where he stands in relation to life and God. It challenges him to go onward and upward till he attains . to "the fulness of the stature of Christ." If you are not a Christian, the church appeals to you to join in the great work of lifting mankind to "purer air and a broader view." Why not have fellowship with the glorious Christ by sharing in his work of lifting the burdens of men." -RAY N.v MOSES. FIRE INSURANCE Fire insurance builds again.
