PROPHECY MONTHLY
The white man must never try to re-establish the doctrine of the racial superiority of the occidental. As we forget all racial barriers, and preach Christ, we may e x p e c t to see a marvelous ingathering. The peoples of the world are under the control of the powers of darkness —a great, powerful kingdom. It is a kingdom that rules wherever Christ Is not known as Saviour. Only the gospel of Christ can in any way bring release to the captives. Education, social betterment, or medical work cannot break the bonds.- Education and medical work may serve as in struments in the hands of the evange lists, as expressions of love. Social betterment is the fruit of the gospel of redemption through the blood of Christ. “Uplift’ - follows regeneration, but never precedes it. We must be alert to the oppor tunities that will be ours at the close of the present war. Doors will open wider than ever before to the mission ary, but alas! those doors will also admit the sins of Western civilization. Let us “get there first” with the Gospel! The Fruit of the Spirit As you leave the whole bur den of your sin, and rest upon the atoning work of Christ, so leave the whole burden of your life service, and rest upon the present inworking of the Holy Spirit. Give yourself up, morning by morning, to be led by the Holy Spirit, and go forward praising and at rest, leaving Him to manage you and your day. Cul tivate the habit, all through the day, of joyfully depending upon, and obeying Him, expecting Him to guide, to enlighten, to reprove, to teach, to use, and to do in and with you what He will. Count upon His working as a fact, altogether apart from sight or feeling. Only let us believe in and obey the Holy Spirit as the RULER of our lives, and cease from the burden of trying to manage ourselves, then shall the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, long suffering, kind ness, goodne s s , faithfulness, meekness, self-control, appear in us, as He will, to the glory of God. —Anonymous.

For the Leader Have brief reports given on John Williams, James C h a l m e r s , and Adoniram Judson, and the changes made by the gospel. Investigate and report on the powers of the spirits: the fear, deception, cruelty, and hopelessness produced by the powers of evil. Show the hopelessness of the or ganized religions, such as Buddhism, Mohammedanism, and Hinduism.„ What is there in the gospel of Christ that makes it imperative that we preach it to the world? Have you experienced the power of Christ sufficiently to make you con vinced that it will meet the needs of men?
