This period ot history is one of
great urgency and gravity. The
white races are penetrating the
whole world. The whole world Is
brought together as never before.
There is hardly a spot that was not
touched and smitten by the war In
one way or another. It affected re
rions that had hardly a place la
history before all Siberia from the
Urals to the Pacific ocean, central
Asia and much ot East Central Af-
rice. If you except some tropical
forest ' regions ot Africa and South
America, nearly all the backward
races have In some way suffered by
the war. It Is owing to the quarrels
of the so-called Christian peoples
that so much misery has been
brcnght to the world.
Not only Is the white man pene-
tratinic everywhere, but wherever he
cne he la a destroying lorce. Not
enly are ancient faiths crumbling,
but the moral foundations of cus
tom on which the backward races
lived In former times have been re
moved. Thy have now nothing to
live upon until and unless they are
given the gospel of Christ.

history of the world when we have
had phenomena ot this sort. That
Is the reason why we ought to bend
our minds to developing our work
in every mission field. It Is also
the reason why we should try to see

Justice and humanity and to see also
that our people abroad set a better

- Although of course our country's
missionary action Is very Important,
and although of course we are bound
to press for contributions to extend
It, we must temember that there are
things not leas Important thaa the
extension of missionary work.
There Is one sentence la tho gos
pel, quoted from the Old Testament,
which must constantly recur to oar
minds: "I will have mercy aad not
sacrifice!
We havs to ask fcr gifts to sup
port missions. It Is a duty to give
them; every Christian mast seek to
spread Truth aad Light. But a gift
is an external thing. It may or may
not be aa expression ot a man's real
sense ot duty, ot his real devotloa
to his Lord. It Is aa offering aa,
in the Old Testament dispensation,

- -Are We a Christ Ua People T
The thought must have occurred
to us during these years "are we.
or are we aot. a Christian people?
We had a tremendous mental shock
at the beginning of the war. We
had to ask ourselves what had be
come of the world. Could the world
n which such things as the Invasion
ot Belgium were happening be a
Christian world? Nothing worse hap
