It Is not really a speelal call nor Is It a special commt"J8ion which is required. It Is simply the call oC Gad given to all In obedience to which one Is to yl ld his life for sCTYice, to heed God's command. to

It Is all one whether Jle sball direct ~~ to China. Or to India. or to Texas, Or to Xew York, and they wbo go to distant lands are simp ly obeying Ood's command to go. nnd going they rind tbelr true Cleld ot ministry. The oI3am call, bowver, \<3

God's thought for us may be seen In hi s attitude toward Tsrael to vdlOm He said by III. prophet lIosea. "I wtll allure hor and bring b er Into t h o wllderne~~ and speak comfortably unto hoI'."

In Rom. 6: 22 wo read 01 being made fr ee from. sin that w may become s rvan lH to Cod, and that we shall have fruits unto Holiness and the end everlas ting life. lI erc are cvidenlly two distinct matters or o('curren('c, on e being deliveran ce aull separation from si n-a thing that is pos-81hl0 for us and c~('ntlal-the other Is to become servants to God.

Draw nigh unto God and pre51ent yourself to Him. Yield yourselves to Cod as they who are nlive from the dead and your members as instrument9 of righteousness unto Ood. Look upon your life as a sacrlrlce offercu to meet God's demand. Treat it as such from this lime on . Expect that God will lay His hand upon you {or good.

This love seems to have been in th e early church and was a t rong factor In their unity so clearly seen as they appear be­ing all of one accord in one place. Th:s seems to have continued as they were stead fast In the Apostl cs ' doctrine and faith. God being with them, signs and won­d e rs proving it, and the Lord added to th~ Church many who were saved. The Apos­tles, with great power, gave wItness of the resu rrection of the Lord Jesus and great grace was upon them all. "·here loye is abundant unity is found and where there is unity there is power and great faith, but

condemnation. Therefore, there was a necessity for n remedy for sin to be lH'O­

vided. John tho Baptist, wben he came On the scene, said. "Behold the Lamb o! God which taketh away the sin o( the world.'· (John 1: 29.) That meant a sacrl-fice for sin!

Now there had been many lambs-as

sacrifices for sin,-the virtue o( whicb all depend ed on tbis one lamb (Christ) whlcl\ was "slain from the foundation of the world.' · (Rev.13: 8 . ) Sin Is an awful thing, and Cod looks on it as such, man cou­

demned on account of It, and nothing but the shedding of blood can purge or clean-scl from ~in. (ITeb. 9:22.) Christ is tho theme of the song that wc read of In R ev. 5: 9 as th e "Iamb slain," "\Vorthy art

Thou to take the Book and open the seal s thereof; for Thou wast slain. and hast redeemed \IS to God by Thy Blood out of every kindred , and tongue, and peopl" .... and nation; Anel hath made us unto our

God Kings and Priests: and we shall reie:n on the earth." '\'ha t think ye of Christ'?

0, say! that is not n ea r all of it! John "'3aid, "And 1 beheld, and I heard the voic~ of many angels round the throne· ••

tho number of them was ten thow~anrl

times ten thousand, and thousands Jf

thousands; -saying with a loud voice, 'V01'­t;.hy In the Lamb thaT w-us sl ain to r cehe

power, and ri ches, and wisdom, and str ength, and honor, and glory, and blC6~­

ings ." (Seo R ev. 5:11-14.) Somo people, in thoso days of higher

criticism, n ew thoughtlsm and many other "Isms," are trying to get the poople to look away from the shed Blood of Cbrl~t to somo theory 01' doctrine of men. But,

when we come to the 'VoW of God, and r ead Peter's writings. we find him telling­us about our being "redeemed by the pre­cious Blood of Christ, as o f a lamb with­out blemlogh and without spot: who verity was foreordained betore the foundation

of th o worlel, who was manifest In thesn last limes for us." (See 1 Pel. 1: 1 8-21.) There is no hope In trusting In tho flesh. · 'AII !lesh Is as grass, and all glory o! m a ll i s as the f I owe~ of gra,ss, the grass witbel'­eth and th e nower thereo ! !alletb away.'· (1 Pel. 1:2 4. ) "Bu t thanks be unto Go<1 which giveth us the victory through OUI'

Lord J esu s Christ." 1 Cor. 15: 57. The r eason the sinner hasn't victory Is

because he has n't accepted the Christ, tho one that died for him . "For when we

w ere yet without strength, in duo time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcel y (or a rigbteo u"3 man will one die: yet per­adventure tor a good man sarno would even

dare to die; but God commended His lo'·e towards us, In that wbile we were yet Bln­

ners, Christ died tor us." O. listen, yOll

tr mliling bellcver who are "w('ok in thf~

"The wagt)'J of s in Is death, (why wtll an Intelligent being go on sorvlng the devIl?) but tbe girt o! God Is etertlal life through Christ Jesus our Lord," (Rom.

6:23.) What think yo of Christ? Do you believe you can have eternal lifo by believing on 1 lim? That Is exactly whot the Bible t aaches. Tho IOath e r loveth thu Son and hath given all things Into TfLi hands. ··Ile that belIo"eth on tbe SOli hath everlasting Ufe." nut listen, Hlnner, "he that believeth uot the Son shall not fie' life: but tho wralh of Cod nbldeth on him . . (See St. John 3:5-36.) God Is much con­cerned about thl"3 lost world-p~ol>le. } le so Illan I fested Ills lovo I n the gIrt or 11 is SOil that anyone In r cadlng tho Blhl o can

ChriRt Is to divino truth s, which Uocl has given us n record of, what the "hub" Is lO tho "wbeoi"·-and tho spoke. of a wagoo wh oel must centro in the "bub,"

without the "bub" tho SPokes aro no gooll. So all tbe truths center In Chl'lst. No Cb riogt , no SavioI'. No hrlet. no ternal

"But when CIl rl st , who Is our Life shall appear, then shall yo also appear with Jllm In glory." Col. 3:4. Romembe,·. Christ Is our Life. he that bath not the SOli of God hath not 1i!e."

There are two kinds of circumcision, one

outer and ons inner. One is In the flesh. the other III the heart. One Is made by tho hand O! man, the Olher by the Lord.

J ewish Circumcision, fn GeneSiS, Chapter 17, GOd gave llw

covenant of circumcision In the flesh to Abraham, a sign o! the faith by wb leh be bad already been justified before be was circumcised. See Rom. 4: 9-25. Later circumcision was incorporated into the

Law under Moses and became binding O!l all Israelites forever. The Jews stil i strictly observed it in tbe time or Christ, and all orthodox Jews do so sllll, to this day, all over the !ace of the earth. But this Is in the lIesh, not In the spirit; mad~ by man, not by tbe Lord. It does not ebange the heart nor save lhe soul. It be-

longs to tho old order and not to tbe new. Truo C'hrJstJun Cl r cu m('lslon,

True ChrlHtian circumcision 15 in strict contrast to that In tho flesh In every par­ticular. Paul says, "Thoy are not ull I srael that are or Israel," Rom. 9: O. That is, tbey are not all spiritual or aa\'ed IRrael that arc the fleshly sons at Jacob who wn~

named IsraeL Likewise, In speaking of spiritual J ews and spiritual circumcision, Paul says. "For be is not n Jew who is ont! outwardly; neither is that circumcision

which Is oulward In tho flesh: but he is Il.

Jew wbo Is one inwardly; and Ci rcum cision

Is that of the heart, in the spi rit not In tho letter; wbose praise Is not o! men. but of God." Rom. 2: 28-29.

So then, outward circumcision In tho flesh was only a type. only a tOken, a seal

or sign of the Inner euttlng Or cbanging o! th{' Il(-art In one who becomes thereby a

child of God. God bas promised saying, "From al your rlltblnes3 and from all your Idols I will el(-anse you, J\ new hC2Tt n.1HO will I give you, und a n~w spiri1. will I put within you; and I will tako: away the stony heart· ••• and r will glvo you a hoart or flesh_ J\nd I will put my Spirit within you" Ezek. 3G~2;;-2-.

Xow this chang;ng of the hard stony he~I' of unbel1£>f Into the soft, ylf>ldlng. obey- "

Dr :\Inriu. A. Ge" ber, )lis~iolHlI'y for

T UI'ker· For some week s th e l etter s from the

Orphans llome near Cesal'ea, Turkey. have been coming to me again regularly. Thl~

last lelter Is dated Oct. 12th and the let­t e l' be"lns "It Is the prayers of God's chil­dren thnt caused llS to be kept and p!"o­

tec ted tn such a time as w e are in, with our dear large Orphan family." In every

leller they tell about great needs which cannot be described and say that every day trom morning untH evening they have

to send away hungry. needy orphans and w idows, fr om the door of the Orphan's nome. without being able to help them anrl the Increase of them Is constantly through massacres aDd war. One who has never done such work as to Bend pleading, hun­gl'Y people a war from the door with noth­ing to h elp them cannot understand v r r ealize what it means, It was always my hardest work when in Turkey and I orten had to do It with pain In my heart. The condition now is such as never has been In all the bloody his tory of Turkey. 1 am sending nil tbe money which comes to my hands to the Orphans Home there and God has fed and kellt \Inl!l now. F00d is v ery expensive so that it tak es much to keep a family of nearly two hundred peo­pl e alive.

1:p to th e beginn ing of the war th e dear Christian people at Europe undertook th ~ su pport of a child or more until the child had rtnlshed school or learned a trade lJy which he could ea rn his own bread. The

Bupport of on!? orphan in OUf Home Is $10. a year, and with thtH t11(' child geLe, a hOIllt",

(ooel, clothing, Fehool and a trade. ba' ~ room to shE"ltC'r 300 chl1dr~n.

:\fmtl or our d~ar old supporters in Eur­OPf" cannOl help U~ any more. Therefor·~

1 u~k the dear rearlers in t he name of t~w

Lord. UI)on the b •• ls of the Word or God (JaR. 1:27 and JaB 1:17, 23), and in the nnme of the starving orphans, will t1H'Y not 1H'lp to save Home of theRe poor Orphans from physical and ~J)jritual starvation' J

Til C'rc are some houRes around u s which 1 ('ould rent to accomodate even morc than 300 if I had the monry. I would Ceel guilty befor('l Goel if 1 woul(1 not make th(,R~ necds knowJl while the Lord has plneN }

me in that position where T know the con­
