CHANGING THE WORLD.


. 1 It .was'not easy to enterfein sinners, hut a way had to bo found of presenting Christ to. tho losf and bringing tho influences of the: Christiai Tijligion mto the dens of vice and the ijaunts o iriiquity,: for only Christ colild change sinner iilto saints. Only Christ could change a work like ours—gone mad after ialso Gods—into a pjaco of harmony, rightcousiiess and peace. In the words of a book ho hnd hctn reading, ‘1 Amii^ the difficulties and problems jwhich concern tho Chiuxih to-day, there is nothiim that His Pasaioi djies not' touoli, and His Respneotion does nol: conquer.; Though tho ptobleii^ he had presented about receiving sinners brifticd with almost


'insoluble problems and tremtndqus difficulties^ it was one which had to he faced, because it was tlje Church’s job to seek ana to save tho-lost; aid to bring tho sinful world| back to the Kingt •dim qf God."
