We of SouTh-EasTern Bible College have accepTed The challenge oT going. We have The high privilege of knowing ChrisT personally, and vviTh This privilege has come a vision of The losT. Our very souls echo The challenge of Paul: How Then shall They call on Him in vvhorn They have noT believed? And hovv shall They believe in Him of vvhom They have noT heard? And hovv shall They hear vviThouT a preacher? And hovv shall They preach, excepT They be senT'? ChrisT longs To send us, ThaT Those vvho siT in darkness may knovv His love and find healing Tor Their blinded souls. We realize The. greaT responsibiliTy ThaT is ours. The presenT hour is grave, Time is shorT, and The Task is im- mense. We are preparing ourselves Tor The work vvhich is novv beTore us. We musT go, proclaiming The good nevvs To Those who have noT yeT heard. We accepT The challenge which ChrisT has seT TorTh Tor all His disciples.

GO Hear your commission, O Church of The MasTer, Friends and disciples of Jesus, Take heed. How are you doing The work of The FaTher'? How are you caring Tor hunger and need? Useless To sTay in your doorway and beckon, Those who mosT need you will never come in. Fighfing The devil wiTh arT and wiTh culTure! How he musT laugh in his sTronghold of sin! Vainly you sTand in The markeTplace, piping, Vainly you cry To The ouTcasT, Behold ! Loud-sounding brass and The Tinkling of cymbals Never will draw The losT lambs To The Told. Go-To The sheep ThaT are scaTTered and TainTing, Having no shepherds, and Tell Them To come, Go To The highways and Tell every creaTure STill The TeasT waiTeTh and yeT There is room. Go-The Time shorTens, The nighT is approaching, HarvesTs grow whiTe and The reapers are few. Somewhere, perhaps, in The darkness are dying Souls ThaT mighT enTer The kingdom wiTh you. Go-for The foe goeTh, Tireless, cunning, Body and soul he is holding in Tee. Go liTT his gage in The mighT of The STronger, And in ThaT power declare The slaves free. Go-our Lord goeTh To man's peTTy iudgmenT, Bearing His cross in The midsT of His Toes, LeT us go TorTh To Him, mocked and derided, Bear His reproaches and share in His woes. Go, Church of ChrisT, for He goeTh before you, And all The way ThaT you Take He doTh know. On The brighT morrow He'll say, Come, ye bless BuT Till The dawning The message is, Go! -ANNIE JOHNSON FLINT ed
