I insist Iha l Ih l: arlllY Oll the ofTell­sin' has till: dccided ad\'antage and th,,' it is tltt.: purpose of God that His forct's lead in the attack against Sill and I he de,·i1.

The world is the hattIe field and L"'l'r-.\· force is being prepared for the bst final struggle_ En.'ry branch of hurrran life and industry is preparing for "that day." 1 [ell i~ arraying its forc('s and p reparing ih messengers of dbtruction: Cod is man;halling !lis annies in earth amI 11ea"Cll, and a sense of the fi trcene~s of the great impend­ing struggle is heing forced upon us l111til at tilllC5 we can itel the heat of the coming conOict. All naiure is out of order and revolting against the sin and rebellion of man against his :\laker. The ea rth is reeling like a drunka rd and tottering with the weight of iniquity upon it and when it falls it shall not rise aga in, .\nd we, what arc wc doing? Taking in the scenery, li"ing at case in Zion, letting up in prayer, ncglecting the Bible, forsaking the assembli ng of OU1"scl\'{~s together, making S~l1lday a day of picn ickin g and joy-riding Hilder one pretext and another! Saints it is time to get to God. 1t is time to awaken out of sleep_ It is time to put 011 the whole armor of God and stop complaining about the terrible times and the lack of power and a lot of other things. RaisC' the mora le by taking on a greate r supply of courage and faith ill the \\'o rd of God, and joy ill active service for olhers and God will give us the viclory.

1n Gelle r-al Pershing's account of the world war, 1 was greatly impressed wi th his description of the conditions lhat existed among the Allies at the

lime ot" the la!>t grtat German offensive in the Spring of lSJ18, the trelllcndous show of ~tl"l;lIgth 011 the part of the enelllY: his \'ictoriolls attack~ and large gaill~ ill tcrritory, in prisoncrs and g-uns taken. The wcakcning oi the llH)r-aic among the .\l1its, and the war \\"eal"iue!';s oi those who had lived and rl'eKtd ill blood and death for four years, all pointed to a disastrous end ior the .\Hied armies and the boasltd cause oi ci"ilizatioll. The .\merican troops held SOllle cllcouragcmcnt but not slIfficiem to produce much hope of allY c\ecisin.! ,-icwry. J lad the t\meri­can forces at this time imbibed the :.pirit of defeat that was crecping, like a pall oi death, through the ranks of the .\l1i(:d iorcc:-;, tht war would h,1\'e been O\'(:r III a short iirnc wiih a ditTerent lOOKing' map of Europe than we have today, Hut the nc,'cr-say-dit spir it that took posses:-;ion of the _\merican soldie rs: their faith in the rightcous cause of prot(:cting their country and homes frOIll the ruthless ir1\"as ion of a designing foe, put a spirit of courage in their l'carb that could not be dO\\"lltd. They faced tht.: enemy and dro,·e him out of his trenches into the open and then kept him there. They changed ignomin ious defeat in­to glorious triumph and victory,

In comparing these t hings wi th the great spiritual warfa re now going 011

l see a parallel. \\'e sec as they did the strength bcing prescnted by our enemy in his great ofTellsi'-e against the \\'orcl of God <lnc! the Ch ri stian re­li g ion and we see the \veakening cle­ments among God's children engaged ill a defensive battlc, \\'e ste that we arc gi"ing ground gradually but smely. \Vhere will the line be drawn? \ Vhen shall we stop retreating? \\'hell shall we determine to take new courage in a cause that brought Chri st from glory to suffer a nd d ie a nd which has strewn the age wi th the dead bodies of the faithful saints of the past? \Vhere and when shall we launch an offensi ve and start out to pu t the enemy on the defensive? I answer, In that day when we return as a man to ou r knees to call on God to fill ou r hearts with fresh courage and reinforcements o f power from the homeland; in that day when om vision is renewed in the ca use for
