There is a verse in the book of Revelation which says, in immediate connexion with the song of triumph about the Kingdom of our God and the power of His Christ,' that the devil is come down hav1ng great wrath because he knoweth that he hath but ashort time.' I think the great enemy of our souls feels this about India, and is putting forth all his strength to interfere with the spread of the Gospel of the Kingdom. The time is a most critical one. The old systems are crumbling away under the influence of education and Western enlightenment, and the thoughtful part of the population is greatly drawn to the religion of the Christian Bible. But the enemy is doing his utmost to hinder the as in the days of man's first temptation, he puts forward a plausible theory in' place of God's neither is there salvation in any other.' To those who are finding out the hollowness of their systems he says: 'all that is good in the Christian faith is to be found in your own, if you will only purify it and restore its primitive simplicity. Why should you forsake the religion of your forefathers - a religion thousands of years old - for a new faith?' And, alas he is able to point to the inconsistencies of Christians, and the failure of Christianity in many cases to affect their life, as an argument for trying something else. On all sides we see that this suggestion is taking effect. Extraordinary activity is manifested by the supporters of the false religions in throwing over untenable super stitions and absurdities, and in the attempt to rehabilitate the ancient creeds and show that, when reformed, they will satisfy the longings of the awakened soul.
We know that this effort will fail, and that jesus must reign till He hath put all enemies under His feet' but the struggle will be a fierce one, and it may be prolonged. What will most contribute to a speedy victory for the truth? One thing, and one only - the manifestation of the Lord jesus Christ in His love and in His power. And this manifestation must be by means of His servants, whether missionaries orothers, old or young. For that let us all pray, and, as this little book reminds us in the last chapter, let us realize that we have a part in Christ's work. If He is manifested in our lives, we are His missionaries, though we may never visit heathen lands.
