Every Christian is called to act as his own priest to offer his body for service, and to present to God everything that is comprised in a personality. Our surrender must bo unconditional. The whole life should be fully and completely placed at God's disposal. Under the law tho sacrifice was dead; under the Christian system it is a living sacrifice.

At the closo of tho service the uiissioner urged those who were willing to consecrate themselves to God's service to come forward and sign a pledge of loyalty to Christ. A number responded.
