GOD’SCHALLENGE TO YOUTH [Continued from page 175] cheeks as I remembered how the British gov ernment had said to John and Edith Hall, “You cannot g o ; they will eat you.” And here they were sitting down, clothed and in their right minds, eating and drinking the emblems of our Lord’s sacri ficial death. There is no power in all the world that can do that but the gospel. Edu cation cannot do it; legislation cannot do it; reformation cannot do it; but, glory to God, regeneration can do it. If I had a thousand lives to live, I would give them all to have some part in the great world-wide program of bringing Jesus to the dying millions. A hundred thousand souls a day, Are passing one by one away In Christless guilt and gloom ; Without one ray of hope or light, With future dark as endless night, They are passing to their doom. From the blackness of despair, comes a cry from the bleeding heart of nations: “ Send a light; send a light; SEND A LIGHT.” Shall we whose souls are lighted with wisdom from on high deny them the lamp o f light? Young people, do you care? God make you care. Men and women, do you care? Do not talk depression in view of this awful condition. My God, let us talk the glory o f God—the wonders of sav ing grace! Do you care? When one remembers that His kingdom is to be universal; when he recalls that it is to be a kingdom administered in justice and righteousness; when he remembers that it is to be a kingdom of plenty, every man sitting under his own vine and fig tree; when he is reminded that even the implements of butchery shall be beaten into those of husbandry; and above all, when he looks afresh into the Word of God and sees that God’s Son, man’s Saviour, is to sit upon its throne, his heart may be at rest, for he reads the promise: “ O f that kingdom shall be no end.” Throughout the evangelical world, the name “ Keswick” has come to be a syno nym for spiritual strength and stability. This little grey Cumbrian town, not far from Penrith, England, has become world famous through the meeting within its hos pitable bounds of thousands o f Christians who are, as the motto above their tent of meeting suggests, “all one in Christ Jesus.” It was in 1876 that the first convention at Keswick was arranged. Since that time there have gathered, year after year in ever increasing numbers, those who have drawn aside for study of the Word and renewed fellowship with those o f like pre cious faith. In 1932, there were well over 5,000 in attendance. The character o f the convention may be judged by its leaders, among whom in 1932 were the following: Bishop Taylor Smith, S. D. Gordon, W . Y. Fullerton, John MacBeath, W. W. Martin, and Northcote Deck. The convention re port contains twenty-nine complete ad dresses given by Keswick speakers, besides other descriptive material. Whether for devotional reading or pulpit helps, the book will be found invaluable. 280 pages. Pickering & Inglis. Paper. Price $1.25. DOOM OF WORLD GOVERNMENTS [Continued from page \79>] TWO CHOICE BOOKS The Keswick Convention, 1932
Undaunted Hope B y F lorence N ewberry G ribble , M.D. James S. Gribble, as an unsaved young man in Philadelphia, was subject to pro crastination, as many young people are. It was an accident on the street car he was conducting, which resulted in the death of a woman, that shook him with a sudden realization o f the uncertainty o f life and of his responsibility to God. For him, from that moment, “procrastination ceased to exist.” His life story is an unfolding of the truth of that statement. The day after his unfortunate experience, he sought out his pastor, Dr. Louis S. Bauman, inquired the way of salvation, accepted Christ, and was baptized that night. The next day, he came with the somewhat surprising an nouncement that he felt called of God to go to Africa as a missionary. It was pointed out to him that his denomination, the Brethren Church, had no work in Africa at that time, but this did not deter him. How the Lord led that quickly obeying, never-questioning servant o f His through experiences o f needful preparation, pro vided in miraculous ways for his outgoing under the Africa Inland Mission in 1908, and worked in his heart as well as through his life amid the stark hardships o f pioneer life in Africa is a story o f gripping appeal. James S. Gribble was ever restless to make Christ known, to press into un reached regions. This passion to evangel ize; in which his gifted and devoted wife, the author of the book, shared heroically, resulted in an advance into French Equa torial Africa and the establishment there of the Oubangui-Chari Mission of the Brethren Church. This is a book not only of information but of inspiration. It is forcefully and fascinatingly written. There is a play of light and shadow, of humor and solemnity, of pain and peace, of an guish and triumph that cannot fail to charm. It is heroic; it is challenging. It ought to prove a book that changes lives. 438 pages. L. S. Bauman, 1925 E. Fifth St., Long Beach, Calif. Cloth.

omniscient eye must have beheld the great multitude of Gentiles, who, like her, “without God, and without hope in the world,” should turn to Him, the Light of the world. Incidentally, this mother teaches us many lessons. 1. Humility. “Not worthy, Lord 1 to gather up the crumbs With trembling hand that from thy table fall.” 2. Persistence—Hers was “ fervent ef fectual prayer.” 3. Patience—She stood all Jesus’ tests. 4. Faith—“Faith is courage in the dark.” 5. ‘Confidence—Phil. 4:19. Jesus then His heart revealed ! “Woman, canst thou thus believe? I to thy petition yield ; All that thou canst wish, receive I” ’Tis a pattern set for us, How we ought to watch and pray ; None who plead and wrestle thus Shall be empty sent away.—S elected . This topic affords a fine opportunity to cultivate a friendly spirit with other races, if there are any in your locality. In many o f the larger cities and even in some of the smaller places, there are groups of other races who would appreciate a gesture of this kind made in the name o f Christ and for His sake and glory. Invite some o f the leaders of such groups to meet with your Endeavor So ciety. Both parties will get a blessing. For those in towns where other races do not live, illustrations from mission study books and stories culled from various sources may be told effectively by good speakers. By all means;; .however, let the fact be impressed upon them all that, as Christians, we must be friendly to those o f other races. Emphasize Col. 3:11. II. T he J ews ’ M istake Let us learn how inconsistent pride of race or the spirit o f caste is with the gos pel o f Christ. What the Pharisee was among the Jews, that the Jews were them selves at that time among the nations. “ They trusted to themselves that they were righteous and despised others.” To be a child of Abraham, according to the flesh, was in their estimation of far higher con sequence than to be a Roman citizen, and they looked down upon all other races as if they belonged to a lower order. W e know how much was needed before Peter would consent to preach to the household of Cor nelius, and how the members of the church at Jerusalem were stirred when they heard that he had actually done so. The spirit o f the Pharisee lives again in those who treat with injustice and con tempt the man who is “guilty o f a skin not colored like his own, whether it be black, or red, or brown.” —W . M. T aylor . Girls’ Camp The attention of readers in the East is directed to the summer conferences of the Young Women’s Bible Training movement at Camp Pinnacle, N. Y-, June 10 to August 28.
