-Acta 4:10-12. .
Peter boldly avouches the lame man
to be healed by the name o( Jesus aud
that by the same
Jesus only we
must be eternally
saved.. Jesus
Christ, is Indeed
the only greut
teacher who, ex
emplifying the
perfect qualities
of sinless man
hood, clulincd au
thority to, forgive
sin and power to
save men. from
Sin, and saving
them to keep them
whole. Men of oil
ages and nations
have stood In need
of him. It has ever been the duty and
responsibility of the church to mako
Christ known ns the one and only
Savior of men. Never has there been,
however, a call So urgent as that which
now comes to the church to present to
the young men of America Jesus of
N'lmirot'li, the Christ of God, in all the
matchless splendor of his manhood
and lu all tho fulness of his saving
grace. Never has there been a time
when tills salvation In Christ mount
so inuclr 'to our young men, never a
time when It meant so much to the
nntlon.i and to the world. We have
coino upon the supremo test of elm me
ter and mniilinod In the great bnttle
lines of Europe. Tho crucial hour
surely Is at hand. . Only, the clear,
strong, 'enduring, overmastering man
hood of the allied ernile.i enn win in
I Ills mighty slruggle. Who Is able to
Impart this strength, but Christ only.
Never has there been a dny when
Hie moral power and physical strength
of American munhood was so in de
mand and never a time when It was
so Imperiled. Our young men are
gathered by the thousands and hun
dred thousands. Into the training
camps, and nre sent woek nfter week
Into tho brittle-lines In Franco, remov
ed from the homo restraints to which
they have, been accustomed, and sub
jected In a now and trying wny to
manifold temptations. In spite of gov
ernment efforts to protect them, unci
In spltejif the devoted and heroic en
"envors (if the Christian forces o'fthe
army and the Y. M. C. A. to reach and
to savo them, the dram shop nnd tho
brothcli-ttlio boot-logger and the har
lot, are seeking to reap a. harvest
which, fjom the standpoint of our
country's need, Is priceless. Legisla
tion enhnbt change the hearts of men.
Christ only can furnish tho snving
grace, the moral fortitude-nnd the
heroic cburago that can tnke our
young men snfely through the mazes
of temptation which1 must surround
them from the beginning to the end of
their experience in modern wnrfure In
n world of sin.
' The following story by a nurse In
France - is Illustrative of the ruin
wrought) -when the viperous grip of
vice fails upon our sturdy lads :
"One morning a nurse whose name
you hnvo seen In tho papers went with
mo to h"?!peclnl clinic, nnd on our wny
back wo passed a great building used
for a hospital.
"1 con stand anything In tills war
but that,' she said. . , .
" lWhyj' what Is there here worse
than In oilier hospitals? Could any
thing he worse than we had at Ver"
dun and Yprcs?'
" 'Yes1 ! yes ! these nre the boys who
enn fight for their country, but can't
fight for themselves,' she nuswered.
'No wound received at the front Is so
frightful as the wounds of these men.
(lilt there' the. wounds are nwful nnd
ghnstly, but when they are washed
and dressed, the boys look sweet and
clean and iwholesome. If they die,
(hey die with honor; If they live, they
live with honor; but these hoys here
suffer from dlsenses worse than lep
rosy. If they die, they (lie In lonth-i
some horror. If Ihey live, they nre a !
curse to those who love them. These !
are thitipolls of the broihcrNood of I
the harlot.' ' .
'A few weeks Inter I was sent to
that very hospital. It was all dirfer
ent. Iuiother hospitals the soldiers
like to have the nurses near them. We
remind them of their mothers, sisters
nnd sweethearts, and lliey lire a lit
tle proud of their wounds. But In that
one they lire nshnmed of their lives
nnd disease and do not want a good
woman near. They nre morose nnd
Icspoiiilcut. The blnrkt despair is
in their eyes and hearts."
Oh hqw sorely these boys needed
Christ 'In- the fresh, sweet days of
arly manhood. If every mnnly power
had been broucht under raptivlty to
Him, how different might have been
tho outcome of this testing time. Our
thciisnnds of fresh, cfenn bids gather
ing weekly fn the great enntonments
and pouring dully Into the buttle line
In France must have n chance to know ;
the Man of Cnlllre. that manliest of
men, wllo ;ls ahlo to save them from j
tin nnd able nlso to keep them whole. I

BUDDHISTS HOLD SPOT HOLY
Famots Pagodi, Built by Hermit, Hat
Long Been Visited by Thron,
of Pious 'Pilgrlmj.
Sightseeing In Burma Is npt to be
one pngodn after uuotlier, and ut that
the tourist misses most of them. One
that ti usually does not see uulcss he
Is especially energetic, or has an in
satiable tusto for pagodas, is the
Kyaik-hto-yo pagoda, one of the most
holy spots in Burma in the eyes of
the Buddhist Burmese.
Tho Burmese sny that the builder of
this pagoda wns a heriult, il theory
which seems probable enough, for It
Is built on the top of a steep hill In
a location which could appeal only to
one of solitary Inclination. Even the
crest of the hill must have been too
close to the,. world for the l)oly man,
for he.lncuted his shrine ou n huge
bowlder, which may hove been steady
enough,' In his day, but which now
seems ready, at any time to slip off
into the valley several thousuml feet
below. "j " ' ' .
Assured 1)' the Burmese guide thai
the' rock has rested ut this critical
angle for many centuries; the visitor,
already breathless from the reckless
ascent of a 'Burmese hill, climbs a
swaying bamboo ladder to view better
the :old pagoda. The grout ,rpes,f with
Its sliiiiie'formlng a tiny pointed cap,
seems even more unsteady from here,
but' (ho guide feels no uneasiness, lie
is confident .tlint somewhere below
the pagoda is a lock of Buddha's hair,
and tills alone" stays the bowlder from
its fall. x:
In the early spring pilgrims from all
over Burma Journey to this forsaken
spot to place flowers on the rock and
offer their prayers and gifts. Jewels
and other offerings nre tossed with nil
invocation to Buddha into the chnsin
below the rock. As they leave, they
place lighted candles outside the
shrine nnd, ns they cross the 'plain In
the evening they can still see tiny
points of flame marking the sacred
spot for other pilgrims who may fol
low them. Chicago News.
