In New York City his brief stay admitted of only three evening meetings, when twenty decided for the Christian faith. Probably just as remarkable results will attend his efforts in Chicago and the far West. Rev. Mr. Kimura received his training in personal and evangelistic work in the Moody Institute of Chicago. "An American artist on the wall of a library building has striven to represent the spirit of America by a procession of men, women and children. "They are all marching together with eager expectation on their upturned faces and the morning light shines on them." Yes, America offers hope, a future, the upward path, to the crowding millions, but only as the light of God illumines and makes clear the way and His voice stills the hate of race and class, saying "Come unto Me," and "Bear ye one another's burdens." VI SOURCES OF POWER Lover of souls, indeed, But Lover of bodies too, Seeing in human flesh The God shine through; Hallowed be Thy name, And, for the sake of Thee, Hallowed be all men, For Thine they be. Doer of deeds divine, Thou, the Father's Son, In all Thy children may Thy will be done, Till each works miracles On poor and sick and blind, Learning from Thee the art Of being kind. For Thine is the glory of love, And Thine the tender power, Touching the barren heart To leaf and flower, Till not the lilies alone, Beneath thy gentle feet, But human lives for Thee Grow white and sweet. And Thine shall the Kingdom be, Thou Lord of Love and Pain, Conqueror over death By being slain. And we, with lives like Thine, Shall cry in the great day when Thou comest to claim Thine own, "All hail! Amen." --W.J. Dawson. * * * * * "Thy kingdom come--Thy will be done on earth." Fundamental in all projects for the upbuilding of a worldly or a spiritual kingdom, or an individual character, lies the ideal. Action, growth, conduct, spring from the creating ideal and in the process of development they advance and enlarge together. "The ideal is the primary moving power in the human spirit," Professor Gidding says; "into his ideal enter man's estimate of the past and his forecast of the future--his scientific analysis and his poetic feeling, his soberest judgment and his religious aspiration." Our ideal then for our country, for the work and place of Home Missions in it, for ourselves as Christian patriots and believers in Home Missions, is essentially a basic source of power. Into the ideal for our country must enter the inspiring conception of the nation which will include the background of its yesterday.
