Recently we have pas..ed the anni- versary of Trafalgar that notable dr on which the greatest of l3ritish naval Victories was won. Down through the years since then have come the word of Horatio Nelson. England expects that every man this day will do His duty-. During that battle Nelson one of the greatest ot' , the world's army leaders laid• down his life for Ids country. Following the death of Christ and just prior*, to His ascension our Lord • gathered His diciples together and gave them the message. "Go ye into • all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, and lo, I DM with you alway." In order to follow that command we must lead others to Christ and in that 'sway give them the, assurance of a happier life to follow. The shepherds who gave the thought to that beautiful twenty- third psalm did not drive the sheep into the fold, • but 'they led them Can we entertain the thought that we have ever been able to lead any one to Christ. Be careful least we be- come boastful ofsuchan achieve- ment. A missionary in visiting a patient used es ber thine of conver- sation the thought that she had been the means of leading many to Christ citing incident after ihcident, Would it not be better if we just carried, on the work of the Lord, under His guidance and to the best of our abil- ity and allow- Him to keep the re- cord of those whom we have hilfuen- ceci for good. ^ We at times. find it hard to ap- proach a man or woman sunk in sin, we must be tactful or we will lose, An elderly lady dedided she would visit a prison. It was in the fall of the year. Looking around she asked the gardener to pick all the flowers that were left. He gave her every thing but one beautiful. white rose which he said she should keep for herself. However when she went to the prison. she took the rose with her. After making rounds of the wards she asked if she had seen, all the in-. mates. She was told there was one other woman, but her language was such that they thought it best that she should not see her. Eventually she was taken to her. She was greet- ed with such a volley of curses that she shuddered. Notknowing what to say she handed her the white rose. Immediately the poor degraded wo- man burst into tears. This follower of the world and the ambassador of Christ had many heart to heart talks after that with the result the poor soul became a follower of the meek and lowly Jesus. The white rose had awakened memories of a God fearing mother. It was a little offering, but in the hands of a ChristianId carried the Lord's message. There are many big brothers and big sisters to -day who are doing a wonderful work. To see some of the undertakings of that band of noble men and women the Salvation Army, it is only necessary to go into one of our court rooms. So often when a magistrate offers a prisoner bis or he freedom if some one will take the responsibility for them a represent- ative of the Salvation Army will step forward and offer their protection. That army this year is celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of it's work in Canada. The prayer of the Christ- ian world is that they may have many more mears of service. The outside world knows very little of the work being done by these humble followers of the Lord. in stoma gas aaatg amp sittetut pop the world to -day who need steady- ing. They. have not sinned without suffering. Many- a time they would hae been glad to leave it all be- hind, but the tempter is too much for them. Do not always condemn the sinner, search until you find pity for them in your hearts and then act on that pity. DO not stand off to one side afraid to touch them. Jesus tou- ched people sunk in sin. Why should we stand back, Many a soul has been won to Christ ly the touch of a,hand We will be held accountable for those people if we do not do our part. A bautiful story is told of Jesus on His return to Heaven following His earthly ministry. An, angle asked Him what He had done toward the redemption of the world. Jesus an- swered. "I have trained sink diciples' and preached.. the gospel of love." - The angles replied. If that should fail what then? "The answer of Jesus was. "I have no other plan". The gospel -instead of going east has gone west, weliave been taught that YOUR Estate is Different from *very other.

"Though deep in mire wring not your hands and weep God lends His arm to all who say 9 cane. No shame faced outcast ever sank so deep But he may rise and be again a man."

We inay be the ambassador sent by Christ. All we have to do is, after prayer to go to such a one God will give us the message we will have no reason to say "I did not know what to say."

The story is toldj of a British subject in a Spanish sneaking town who was arrested and condem- rned to be shot for partaking in some riot. The British C,onsul protested but without . avail and the man was brought out to face the firing line. As they were waiting, the British Consul rushed up and threw the union Jack around him. Standing there beside the prisoner he said "Fire if if you dare." The rifles wbre low- ered and the man handed' over to the justice of Britain. A wonderful les- son to- be learned 11T111 that is that when prisoners are apparently doom- ed that blood of Christ will save Are you willing to be the one who will carry that message.
