X. We have a little volume entitled,
as "Is it Worth While?" This is a
question that is often asked. Yes,
er if the thing aimed at has an uplifting
[r. and elevating influence, it is worth
st while.
We often hear it spoken and we
's read some times that the church
it, religion is losing.its hold on the peo
ple, and we are asked sometimes, if ~
of the world is growing better or worse.
h, Those who say it is growing worse
al point to the murders, homicides and 1
g- other crimes that are daily chron-J
mn icled in the press. Yes it looks that
way, but is it that way? When we
ip. look out over the world and see all =
:o 'the efforts that are being put forth
to uplift the race-hospitals, orphan
10 homes, homes of refuge, mission
30 work; and v.. :Es of mercy innum
... erable-wve say no. The Bible is
40 the most popular book today and
:w more copies of it are printed than of
-al any other book in any one year. Three
to hundred million copies have been
a sold in Too years. 1oo years ago it
was only printed in 40 languages; to
-y, day it is sent forth to do its great
Td work of evangelizing the world in
240 languages. Very recently it was
gtranslated. into a language that had 'I
rt, no name for a supreme being, home, a
father, heaven or house. It is thus.
>t- that this work of bettering the wvorld I
.y. goes on, and the time will come when -
all the kingdoms of this world will
at become the heritage of the King of
en Kings and Lord of Hosts.
