Crusaders!
by C. T. Studd

Crusaders! A word with you. "God remaineth." And He is enough. Like Gideon’s army we are being pruned and that only means that like Gideon’s little flock of kids we shall have a glorious victory. Look up and look forward. Our background is a black ground. Our numbers are few; many have been sick and near to death. Funds are low. Valued members are escorting wounded soldiers part way off the battle field. That all spells nearly enough buckets of water to have pleased Elijah on Carmel. The sacrifice is soused. I don’t know if the trench yet overflows, but I do know an abundance of rain and fruit. Hallelujah! Well, I want to live to see the coming fun. God is blessing, the reports just stir one’s blood. AN We do need to be intense, and our intensity must ever increase, mustn’t it? Or we shall get humdrum and insipid, and we must always be on the crest of the wave, the more so because all around are in the trough of the sea of sin. "Watch" is the weapon of defence, and "Pray" is the weapon of offence.
