not for our own selfish purposes but that his way and laving grace may be known to all nations he used many illustrations from his life in indls to point up his sermon eighty per cent of the people there go to bed hungry if they had a bed he said and this fact is startling when one realizes that indias population equals that of north and south amer ica and africa combined t a great deal of food
