practice of religion-that has placed _Christ in deeds_.

Arthur E. Copping gives as the reason for the movement's success-"the
simple, thorough-going, uncompromising, seven-days-a-week character of
its Christianity." It is this every-day-use religion which has made us of
infinite service in the places of toil, breakage, and suffering; this
every-day-use religion which has made UB the only resource for thousands
in misery and vice; this every-day-use religion which has insured our
success to an extent that has induced civic authorities, Judges, Mayors,
Governors, and even National Governments-such as India with its Criminal
Tribes-to turn to us with the problems of the poor and the wicked.

While the Salvationist is not of the generally understood ascetic or
monastic type, yet his spirit and deeds are of the very essence of
saintliness.

As man has arrested the lazy cloud sleeping on the brow of the hill, and
has brought it down to enlighten our darkness, to carry our mail-bags, to
haul our luggage, and to flash our messages, so, I would say with all
reverence, that the Salvation Army in a very particular way has again
brought down Jesus Christ from the high, high thrones, golden pathways,
and wing-spread angels of Glory, to the common mud walks of earth, and has
presented Him again in the flesh to a storm-torn world, touching and
healing the wounds, the bruises, and the bleeding sores of humanity.

That was a wonderful sermon Christ preached on the Mount, but was it more
wonderful than the ministry of the wounded man fallen by the roadside, or
the drying of the tears from the pale, worn face of the widow of Nain? Or
more wonderful than when He said, Let them come--let them come--mothers
and the little children--and blessed them?
