to bring men to Christ, and especially is this true in South America. There had been going on in Peru for years a struggle for religious freedom, and this battle was being fought bravely by all who felt that the progress of the country demanded it. Peru was one of the last of the South American republics that granted religious liberty, and bitterly and fiercely did the Romanists oppose it. Now and then among their own number there would be a staunch advocate willing to risk life if need be that this country might be free from the yoke of Rome, and this year, the year of 1915, saw the achievement of their purpose. It was a great victory, and the missionaries of the various boards had much to do with securing it. Their rejoicing was tempered with the knowl edge that there was much to be done to secure the actual observance of this freedom. The cities would be first to claim the rights secured, but it would be long before the people in all parts of Peru would understand and appre ciate the privilege of religious freedom. The missionary work in Lima had reached the stage of forming a church of the converts, and the holding of a three-: months’ Bible conference, at which the young converts received much needed training and teaching. It was Just after the conference that Randall Emmett came down with the typhoid fever. He had seemed so strong and well the past months that the others were not much alarmed for him at first, but he grew rapidly worse and his friends began to be concerned for his recovery. Rose and Wiiliam nursed him alternately. One night Randall opening his eyes-, looked 'into William’s face and said, “ It’s good-bye, Will. I hear the voice of my Saviour and I must go. I wish I might have stayed a little longer, 'the Work is so compelling and joyous, but I must go. Take care of Rose. It will be hard fo*r her to have me go, but I leave her in your care.” He smiled a slow, happy smile and fell into a deep sleep, from which he never awakened to things of earth. Two days later as they stood by his bedside watching, Randall smiled a heavenly smile and without opening his eyes passed' frbm their presence into that of his God. It was to William that Rose clung for comfort, and William knew in the days and weeks that followed, that had he never known and loved Louise that he would have loved Rose. She was a sweet Christian girl, and she adored her brother’s friend. He wondered how much”Rahdall had meant in those parting words, but he kept his wondering to himself and only talked it over with his heavenly Father. Shortly after Randall’s deatll came the approval from the board at home of the plan to purchase the farm near Cuzco. The necessary funds were appropriated, available as soon as the purchase could be negotiated. Early in the next year, William, Mr. and Mrs. Foster and Rose went to Cuzco. To William the trip to Mollendo, then by rail toward Cuzco as far as possible, then the overland trip to “ The City of the Sun,” was full of memories happy and sad. He could remember so well Randall’s eager look ing forward to their return to the old historic city, and now he had left the work he loved to other hands. Rose eagerly sought information all along the Journey until she had gleaned from William much of the experience he and Randall had come through in the early days of their life here. They found Cuzco still unfriendly, the priests just as bitter as ever toajie missionaries of Jesus Christ, but perhaps not so openly daring in their opposition as they were before religious liberty was declared. They found also a little more sympathy and willingness to espouse their cause among those who were not Catholic adherents. (To be continued)
Heralds of a Passion By Rev. Charles L. Goodell, D .D . Dr. Goodell maintains that everything great in Hf« !• • passion, and religion being a life must be impassioned. The Symbol o f our religion is a Cross, and He who hung upon it was a man of infinite passion. W e are to be heralds o f that passion. How can we be heralds of it, if we do not feel it? , . In many quarters the church seems to have lost the fine flavor of its early raptures, in some way we must win back that early enthusiasm. The author proceeds to speak of the methods o f Jesus, and of the price which all men must pay for spiritual power. He shows the passion which was upon the hearts o f the proph ets, the apostles and the re formers. T he book is a p as sionate appeal to m inisters and laymen to give them selves without stint and with infinite yearning to the salva- «o„ •"«! -«V i«
