THE ADMIRAL lllllllllllllllllll!!l1IIIllIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllillllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll When earth's last picture is painted, And the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors are faded, And the youngest critic has died, We shall rest-lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of all good workmen, Shall set us to work anew. And those who are good shall be happy, They shall sit in a golden chair, They shall splash at a ten league canvas, With brushes of comet's hairg They shall find Saints to draw from, Magdaline, Peter and Paul, They shall work an age at a sitting, And never be tired at all. And only the master shall praise us, And only the Master shall blame, And no one shall work for money, And no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of working, And each in his separate star, Shall draw the thing is he sees it For the God of things as they are. vnty-'I'ln

In this epoch the area has been the Whole of the habitable earth. There will soon be few men who have not had a chance of bowing at Christendom's Cross. How far we are from the real truth of the Cross, the world has brought home to us with terrific force in these days of War. It sometimes seems as if we were so far from that good within Christendom itself that we have little to say to the world. The basis of our government, the salvation of our society, and the solace of our hearts, is the Bible. The Bible is world literature. In all matters of life the Word of God has authority. How can we do without it? The very thought sends a gloom over us.. Life would be as a night with- out stars. In Christianizing the world according to the Gospel we can easily say we have made a good beginning. - We have world benevolent organizations. One of the most remark- able is that of the Ameican Red Cross. Its supreme purpose is that of ministering to humanity. We have schools for the blind, deaf and dumb, and Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. organizations that are doing great work. The program which the church is endeavoring to carry out embrac- es all phases of human activity. Educational, social, and economic forces are the accompaniments of the followers of the Cross. Every movement for progress has had its origin in the fields where Christianity prevails-verily, the Prince of Peace has shed abroad the light that must illume this otherwise dark universe. Peace conferences, world court, league of nations, settlement of dispute by arbitration, are the children of this Prince of Peace. Humane Societies, for the protection of birds, beasts, and man are the direct result of the spirit shed at Christendom's Cross. All the numerous laws for the protection and benefit of the laboring man, but reflect this spirit. Every great document of benign government of humanity is the evolution of that radiance of brotherhood that Christendom's Cross shed over the world. These are only glimpses of the great work that was started there at the Cross, which was then a symbol of ignominy but is today the sign in which conquer we must. There is much still to be done, we have only begun our gigantic task. Each Epoch must see Christendom's Cross raised to higher summits of usefulness, until at the last we may say with Kipling: Twen ty- Twv
