Creation's heir, the world, the world is mine.—Goldsmith.All things are yours.—Paul.
The world is mine. I hold no title-deedTo one small acre, yet have all I need,And should Dame Fortune proffer me her storeI could not linger wistful, at her door.Unfortunate is he beyond compute,Whose love of fortune makes his conscience mute.I will not look to fortune. I will doMy best, though small that best to her or you.All things are mine. I walk with firmer treadThan Caesar at his best; for I am ledBy mightier One than Fortune or than Fate,And I shall conquer all things, soon or late.All things? Yes, all. Then well may Fortune frown,And clutch with trembling hand her imperial crown.I will stoop to conquer. I will riseAnd climb the rugged path where duty lies.

"CLING TO THE BIBLE."
Tis the anchor of hope and the lamp that gives light,Tis the star that will shine thro' your life's darkest night,If you follow its guidance, you'll always be right,So cling to the Bible and walk in its light.

To neglect, reject or doubt the Bible in any particular is but an entering wedge to spiritual apathy. The "Bible tinkers" of this or any other age have been men whose hearts are cold and whose soul saving powers were limited.
To obey the Bible, will lead to a perfect salvation, make possible a victorious faith, surmount the difficulties of life and gain an "inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you."
Watson says, "The Bible is a rock of diamonds; a chain of pearls; the sword of the Spirit, a chart by which the Christian sails to eternity, the map by which he daily walks; the sun dial by which he sets his life; the balance by which he weighs his actions."

"DO YOU KNOW THE WORLD IS DYING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE?"
Practical results are happy homes, husbands and fathers restored to their families, wives and children made happy, multitudes rescued, and the world made better.
The magnitude of this work will never be known until Eternity's records are disclosed. Little did we think twenty years ago that so humble a beginning would be attended with such remarkable results.
Rev. Herr holds a unique position in the evangelistic field. He is considered the greatest evangelist among prisoners in the United States.—Louisville Herald, May 17, 1909.
When you help the missionaries, you help the poor fellow in trouble. When you help those in trouble, you help yourself, and when you thus help the missionary, the outcast, and yourself, God will help you.
OUR MOTTO:
"Seeking the lost.""Helping the helpless to help themselves."All along life's pathway there are men and women in need:Go and help somebody just now.With a word of kindness or a loving deed,Go and help somebody just now.

Dear Friend—Our country is taxed with a burden of thousands of prisoners. These people are crippled, not in body, not in mind, but almost always in morals, which is the most serious. It is to help or recover them that we are giving our lives. Our labors have not been in vain, as the testimonials will show you. We want you to "hold the rope while we go down into the pit," by subscribing for our support and transportation in this work of prison evangelism; and in so doing you become the benefactor of a submerged class.
May we not hope to have your check to help in this concerted effort? I am,
Yours sincerely,GEO. L. HERR,Louisville, Ky.
Yours sincerely,
GEO. L. HERR,
