For every child of England who died in flood of youth; For every broken heart that seeks the everlasting Truth; For every hour of anguish that tore # the baffled soulâ€" Let dreams of fairer England lift eyos _ * fownrds the Goal. _ _ â€"â€"Arthur F. Thorn, Corporal. For every hope of England; for Libâ€" erty and Peace; : s For dreams of fairer England, when War‘s Red Hell shall cease; For those who greedily exploit the merchandise of Hateâ€" Some English lad for England has ; passed the Awful Gate. For every inch of England, and all her treasure too; For men who yawn in Westâ€"end clubs, and know not what they do; For every matinee and show, where . pleasure seekers throngâ€" Some English lad has . locked with Death, and flung his Soul along. For.â€"every inch of Sussex Down, and > every English. flower; For every spot where Beauty lives to oA light this darkened hour; For every winding English lane; for every woodland gladeâ€" Some English lad for England the % price in blood has paid. Note the missionary characteristics of promptness, directness, boldness, and humility; also the grateful acâ€" ceptance of whatever result God may vouchsafe, however meagre. Chrisâ€" tianity on most mission fields has beâ€" gun with the women, the slaves, the outcasts, the despised, and with them has conquered nations. The step was taken in a way charâ€" acteristic ever since of the great missionary enterprise. The four workâ€" ers obeyed the divine call promptly, straightway. They set ~sail for the place indicated, for Philippi, the nearest large city of Macedonia, not for the famous cities of Athens or Corinth. They went right to work, definitely and boldly, without waiting for cautious preliminaries. This step was taken by the man of all men best fitted to take it, the heroic, devoted, and manyâ€"sided aposâ€" tile Paul, with his noble companions, Lmke, Timothy, and Silas, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Terms The scope of the Great Commission â€"all the world; the method, baptism, open.confession; the result: lives livâ€" ed in obedience to Christ;and the powâ€" er in which all this is to be done: the continued presence of the Great Misâ€" sionary, according to his glorious proâ€" mise, Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. \ Carrying Out the Commission The carrying of Christianity from Asia to Europe, This meant the enâ€" largement of Christianity from a loâ€" cal to a world wide religion, from a religion of one race to a religion for all races. Old Testament Anticipations. Dan. 12:3 téells us that the "wise shall _shine as the brightness of the firmaâ€" ment; and they that turn many to righteousness as the ~stars for ever and ever." & Missionaries are made, not always of saints, sometimes of the worst sinâ€" ners, converted Peter, the rockman, was also a waveman. Christ the Great Missionary Fhil 2: 4â€"16. This passage deâ€" scribes Christ‘s renunciation of his heavenly glory, so much greater than any renunciation made by an earthly humanity. Christ is thus the greatest of all missionaries, the model and inâ€" centive of all missionary lives. New Testament Examples. James, our Lord‘s brother, wrote that whoâ€" soever converts a sinner "shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins." Isaiah, the greatest of the ~proâ€" phets, was the greatest of the Old Testament missionaries. He got his commission and consecration when (Isa. 6:8) he heard the Lord‘s voice, saying, ‘"Whom shall I send?" Light _ Â¥e are the light of the world. Lightâ€" banishes mould, miasma, . disease germs; â€"but light does more, it reaches out_endlessly, it warms, it cheers, it fructifies, it transforms, it discloses.f The true Christian does all this; his work is not merely negiative, destrucâ€" 1 tive of the bad, but positive, constructâ€" | ing the good. j % The Great Commission â€" The Sermon on the Mount is the great charter of our religion. .Itâ€"deâ€" seribes the character and duty of a Christian in terms so plainâ€" and so inspiring that these glowing senâ€" tences will move to heroic action till the end of time. Our verses immeâ€" diately follow the Beautitudes, which state the Christian‘s joy, in terms of the Christian‘s duty, which is the only way in which joy can come. Nekt Christ proceeded to lay down the Christian‘s responsibility in view of his joys, opportunities and powers. Salt / Ye are the salt of the earth. \A. freshâ€"spirited, pureâ€"hearted follower of Christ arrests the decay of sin, the rot of selfishness and pride,keeps himâ€" self and the world around him sweet and unsullied. > s LESSON XI.â€"September 15 WINNENG THE WORLD TO CHRIST â€"Matthew 5: 13â€"16; 28: 18â€"20; Acts 16; 6â€"15; Nehemiah 1: 1â€"11. Geden text: Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.â€"Mark 16:15. The Teacher and His Class In all grades this is to beâ€"a misâ€" sionary. lesson, the various Bible pasâ€" sages bringing out theâ€" principles of missions, with examples of both home and foreign missions. The primary classes will study chiefly Christ‘s misâ€" sionary work with the Samaritan woâ€" man and hers in her home town. The theme widens in the older grades, and.in adult classes includes all quesâ€" tions of civic betterment through Christianity, national progress, and the winning of the world to Christ. The Lesson‘ in its Setting Time and Placeâ€"The sermon on the Mount was perhaps spoken on the, slope of the Horns of Hattin, a doubleâ€"peaked hill on the west shore of the Sea of Galilee early in Christ‘s ministry. _ The Great Comâ€" mission was given on an unknown mount in Galilee, toward the close of forty days following Christ‘s reâ€" surrection. . The gospel â€" was. carried to: Europe in Paul‘s second missionâ€" ary journey, A.D. 49 or 50. Neheâ€" miah was. appointed governor‘ . of Judea in 445 B.C. (Bishop Ryle). Sushan (Susa) was in â€" southern Persia. % | PAGE SIX The 8. S. Lesson THE DEBT 25,000 bushels of fallâ€" wheat seed have been imported from the United States by the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Reports state that there is only a moderate demand for the imâ€" ported seed, as the Ontario. farmers seem to be well supplied with home grown seed. â€" Indications point to an increased acreage sown this year over the past two seasons. ~~â€" Mrs. E.

My atcivity in the camps was thereby very ~limited. Then ILâ€"received reports from our secretaries working in Russian war prisoners‘ camps in Siberia and pictures from war prisoner‘s camps in England, and presented them to the War Ministry for inspection. At New Year I was able to receive as guest the Chief of a section of the War Ministry; we had a long, free converâ€" sation in which I gave him a descripâ€" tion of a manifold activity among priâ€" soners of all nations. All this graduâ€" ally created at the War Ministxfir an atmosphere of confidence and kind disposition towards us, and this spring at a special session of the War Minisâ€" try a new permit was granted me for my camp visits and a special messenâ€" ger was dispatched to me to let me know the good result of the transacâ€" tion.. This new permit reads as folâ€" lows: As a result of Y. M. C. A. service for internment men in allied counâ€" tries, including Canada, a â€"marked change is beginning to be seen in the attitude of the German military auâ€" thorities towards entente prisoners of war in that Empire,. Inâ€"his report Mr. Paul Arni, Swiss Secretary, working for Freneh â€"and British prisoners in Germany, says: _ Here I am writing you again. This ’ time I can give you a little more news. We have moved and made a real move this time. We are right up the line with _ the Canadians. No doubt long before_ you get this letter you will have heard of the grand advance the boys have made. We travelled for twentyâ€"four hours over ground that Fritz had just left a couple of days before. It certainly is a terrible sight. The town â€"we detrained in is probably as large or larger than Weston and there is not a house left standing. Youâ€"can just manage to march along the streets amid the ruins. Every vilâ€" lage was passed was the same. All the news you are getting, both of priâ€" soners and the distance of the advance is I think quite correct. We sure have given thenm a good slap. Of course ‘we lost a lot of men too. Just this morning I came on a small cemetery. In it there were about thirty graves of Canadians just recently buried. Out of them there were six of the old 204th boys. Two of them I knew well. If we stay here long Iâ€" intend going over and putting up a small cross with a few words. This week I have met a lot of the boys.. You see up until now we have been well back and not with the Canadians, but now we are right in the game. Perhaps this will cause you more uneasiness, but don‘t please, mother, don‘t worry. I think on the whole we are pretty safe. As I write outside you can hear the shells whistling. We are well down in the ground, but believe me, it is lively outside. The shells are whistling and the guns from machine two, heavy siege, are booming. Just stuck my head out to see about fifty of our planes go over. I am well and will try to do‘ my best. » The following letter written by Pte. Clarence Coulter, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
