You see, I calc- ’lated I sh’d hear somethin’ about the way to heaven, an’ I only learned the way from Jerusalem to Jericho.” —Presbyterian. SOUL WINNING IN RUSSIA There are in Russia over_ 100 evangel ists and preachers who are today desti tu te and in desperate need. We must provide help at once for these men in th eir distress. Through the war and revolution these Russian preachers have been tried and refined, tested and prov ed. They are prepared for work there as men sent from this country would not he; they know the language thoroughly, they are acquainted with the people and their ways-of life. In them th ere is a powerful nucleus for the work of evangelizing Russia. If we do not- help these men now, the loss will he inestimable. This is one of the g reatest opportunities ever given to Christian people for th e evangelization of Russia. The door is open to us whereby we are sending help to Russia for the evan gelization of the distressed country. T h e1
