The Call of the Hour
BY NELLIE M. HIGLEY MAYNARD
4t Lo, all .power to me is given,
Power from my Father's hand,
Power on earth and power in heaven
Hear ye not the Lord's command?
Go ye therefore, teach all nations;
Sound aloud the Gospel cry."
Echoes still the wail despairing,
" Help, 0 help us, ere we die!
Hear we not that cry of anguish,
Wrung from quivering, ashen lips?
Have we touched the work before us
Only with our finger tips?
India's millions, hear them calling,
Calling us from o'er the sea!
See the beckoning hand of Sinim —
" Help, just now, send help to me."
Westward, northward, eastward, southward,
Comes the cry from mart and home.
Answer comes to us from God-ward,—
" Give them warning of earth's doom.
Tell them of their Saviour's coming,
Ye who know the Saviour's love;
Tell them how he yearns to take them
To their Father's home above."(cid:9) •
Shall we stand as dumb before him,
We on whom the light now shines?
Shall we now shrink back like cowards,
Leave them only idol shrines?
Nay, not so, arouse to duty,
Each one springing to the call ;
For this greatest work of ages,
Answer quickly, one and all.
PREFACE

conference and mission field organizations, as well as institutions, con-
nected with the denomination. In a work growing as rapidly as is this
