The world shall be reborn!"

General William Booth.

"Reborn"--does not that phrase sound familiar to Methodist ears, as
does that other phrase, "The Soul of the City Receives the Gift of the
Holy Spirit"? Or, again, hear two lines from "Star of My Heart":

"All hearts of the earth shall find _new birth_
And wake no more to sin."

General William Booth.

In these days, when the world is being swept clean with the besom of
temperance, the poet who sings the song of temperance is the "poet
that sings to battle." Lindsay has done this in some lines in his
"General William Booth Enters Into Heaven," which he admits having
written while a field worker in the Anti-Saloon League in Illinois. At
the end of each verse we have one of these three couplets:

"But spears are set, the charge is on,
Wise Arthur shall be King!"

"Fierce Cromwell builds the flower-bright towns
And a more sunlit land;"
