The :field is the world.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptiz- ing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Teaching them to ob- serve all things whatso- ever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you alway. even unto the end of the world. Amen.

And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.·

If ye Tove me, keep my commandments. ·

He that -hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me;

If a man love me he will keep my words: and my Father will love him.

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

SEWS NOTES FROM THE FOR- EIGN MISSION BOARD.

.\ Cbnllenge to Southern Baptists.

The Board at its January meeting received the follo,win,g stir.ring rp,rop•

osition from a wealtih,y layman:

"I want •to 11'.a.ke you a ,pr-o,pos1t1-oo.

If your Forei,gu Miss.ion Board ,gets out of debt ,by il\fu,y 1, 1910, and wishes to send o,ut mo-re mdssiona..ries, 1 will pay outofitting, -transportation, and first year's salary fo,r one-thi,r-d of

an

accepted up -to sixty.

"All ap;pointime·nts millst be m-a,de before November 1, 1910."

I trust that this srplendid offer w-ffi stir the h~a-rts olf ,our rpeop.Ie as· it did the memibers of the Boa,rd. We ought to joyfully fulfill tJhese conditions. We need e;very one of the sixty new m1s1nonaries. It takes about $1,000 to pay t,he e:x,penses of a ,missionary to tihe fieJ.d and sus- tain him ,f,o-r the first year. Hence,

tr

the conditions are m:et, this means an offer o,f about $20,000 to the Boord. In ,o,rder t:o pay the Board out of d~t we will have to receive something like $400,000 between now and tihe first o,f May.

A STRANGE CUSTOM.

Rev. J. E. W'ills, one of •OUII' missionaries to •S(ruan,gJJ.ai, China, tells or a strange cus,t,o,m amon-.g the Cihi- nese. There are three, special days in the year in w;hi-c-h tihe idols from the temples ,a,re -borne along the streets in ma,gnifice,nt array to be seen o-f men. He says: "Just ,as we closed one of ou.r services tlh,e ot-he-r

day, this procession passed. As I watched it and watclhed the ,peo·pie, IDiY heart ,bu,rnt w'it'hin m•e. Tlhen, I thought of ·why I am ihere-to br'ing into spiritual view the invisioele and o,mnipotent G-odi wiho loives and saves. I wondered i-f tihey ha..d seen the im1p.1ge of Him i•n, us that afternoon. I beUeived some .o.f tlh,e,m had, f.or orur ,bre·thren did see,m so Cihrist- like that ~day i·n ,dealing w'itlh the,ir heatihen brethren."

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

Missiona-ry Jas. ,M. Justice, in writing o-f the destituUon in the g,reat city of Buen-os Aires, said: "If this oity ,hiad as m,any Baptis,t cnurc,nes a~

Atlanta, Ga., 'it woul-d ·have three hu1J1dred. Yet it 1h,as only tihree with a total memibers'hip o.f about one ,nun- dred-." Here i.s surely a. great op- p,or-tunH,y in a magnificent -amt ,gr.ow- in,g. city.

A BUSY MAN.

Dr. Adrian '8. Tiaylor, In ·writing of his wo,rk at the Yangchow Hospi- tal, says: "'I1oday I saw filfty !Patients in the dii,spensa•ry an,d d'id tihe usu~l wo.rk in the hospital. We ihave been lately runnoing full u•p right alon,g, and tlhe majority of patients ar,e sur- gical cases." This indicate,s the way in w,hicih our ,missionaries are over- burdened. Tihey a,re constMlltly ,341- pLying f.or re--enforcem1ents.

Mrs. Hoo;rn, of Pingtu, China, tells iho,w for many •d3,'.Ys s'he and a B1'1He W101man worked among tlhe women in one o·f the Chi,n.ese viHages near Pingt11. She say,s: "F'or fo,ur !hours eaoh day we taught the wo-men ail'II s·pent the reIIllainder of tlhe time in h-ouse-to-,ho,use visiting. We were kindly received in e'Very lll·ome ·wie entered, 1aJnd ,the Bible woman told tlhe story of the :Savior's fove. One night after a long day of walk<in.g, talk'ing, teaohing, singing and prnyin,g my Bi-ble woman, as Slhe wea,rily sank d1o·wn c;n her bed, made of hia•r,d m1ud brkk, said in Chinese witih a hruppy smile ,on her face: 'On~ more day's wo:r1k for Jesus.' lA:s I U.stened to her deep breatJhing, for she• quickI,y ifell asleep, I thought lhow •brig:M. wll'l ,be the m;aTI,si.ons above to t'his wo•m.an, wlho in th'is world: lb.as h-a,d little ·oif what we oaH the co•mlforts and ,pleas- ures of life."

"Dear Brother Powell:-

"The Board must increase m,y sal- uy at th'is ,point. How much can the Board give to Uquidate our debt? We cannot do anything for ,missions until we get rid of our debt."

If many of our churches whioh are iroanlng under enormous debts. did not remit to li~eral offerings, we would not be a'ble to pay the brot¹her the salary he 'is no,w receiving.

Rev. W. D. Powell, Louisville, Ky.

Dear Brother:

You have perhaips noticed that I have apostasized: an,d will soon go back to editing a. ipa,per. It is not likely I will be secretary a,fter Feb.

llt, but I w,ill call the attention of

my successor to the matter you men- tion. I shall be glad if the secreta- rllll may have a -great meeting. Cer- tainly, we all ou•ght to ,go in for a strong ad-vance alon,g the whole line.

Read this letter tr0:m a ,beloved mJl.ssionary ·who receives a·bout. a.e .many oollars for his mo-nitih's work as he has ohildren. He lives in one of the poorest districts in t¹he llllOun- ta'ins:

"Dear Brother Poiwell:-

"Here is an-other dollar for IDllis- sions. Hope to ·be a:ble to send you somethinr each month this year. I pray that the HoLy Spirit may bless our dollar to the · glory of God and the salvation of people. Pray for me in my ,feeble efforts to la1bor lfor •Go-d's glory an·d -man's goo•d.

, Yours 'in the Master's cause.'' If all our workers would mia.nilfest such zeal our treasury would never be e,m1pty, I feel of,ten like wllisper- 'ing in the ear of t!he churohes th.at John, D. Rockefeller never sends a cheok to this office. The Lor-d's poor furnish most of the funds that we handle. They love 't•he Master 1more than they do the things of this world. Even the few ·preacllers who beco·m,e rich somet'imes do not ,give as much as t-hey ,d1id when if:rom the

!heart they prayed, "God give us this diay our daily bread."

Reader, do you oiwe us twenty-five cents for sub!SICript'ion? It is a small a.m.~unt to you, !but 'Wle need it very muC'h. Please remdt. You (have ,for- gotten how long it has ·been s-ince yo.u pai-d us anything. Olid friends cannot lbe separated, so please renew.

Bro. Adlkins reports that the cold weather ,has retarded tihe work on t-'he ho-use of worship at Evel"'JD.an.

Missionary A. A. Ad•kins ,has· closed a meetin, at Mt. Olivet, Boyd Co.

There •were 17 conversions and 14 ad- dlitions to the c:h, rch. He is no'W• in a meetin,g at Willard, w>here they :have ,not held a meeting for some years.. He has ,been engaged ,by the churc:h at Ol'ive Hill to 'hold a meeting there.

A NEW YEA:6,',S MOTTO.

I as•ked the New Year lfo,r some llll/Otto sw·eet;

Some rule of life 'WlitJh w1bfoh to g,uide my feet;

I :asked a'Il-d .pa.used; he answered soft and low,

"·Goid's wilil to •kn•ow."

"Will kno-wied,ge then suffice, New Year?" I cr'ied;

And ere ,tJhe questio'll into silence died

The a,nswer ca.me, "Nay, but reme,m•

ber, :too,

Go-d's will to do."

Once more I iasked, "Is thert> no more to tell?"

An-d o,nce again the ans,w-e,r fell:

"Yes, tJhis one th'i:n:g al\J. other things above:

Go-d's will to love."

A PRESSING NEED.

Those of you wiho were present at the annual W. M. U. meeting of Ken- :11eky i,n LouisvHle will remem•ber

the respectful and at the same time urgent manner in which the wif€ of the Rev. C. H. Parrish, one of Louis- Vlille's much esteemed co1'ored minis~

ters, laid before her white sisters t•he Tuecess;ity of a 1co[·ored, 1miiss~onary amiong the ne,gro women and children of our State. S'he ·seemed to- realize as fully as we their need of practical training, as well as. their woeful lack of religious tl'aining. Our ,colored sister was fully pe,rsuade·d that this missionary was the ,proper person to give thii, trainin,g, and so fully per- suaded her white sisters to this view of the ,question that by unanimous vote they• acceded to ,her re,q uest

g,ive hal'f ¹th·e ,m1is-fionary'·s !salary, which would be $10 per month, the salary being $20 :per mont,h. The societies were to be asked for $1 per year, a small am,ount from each society, ·but more than enough in the aggregate to pay th.e salary.

My sister, this i,s ·surely an o-bject that a,ppeals d,iredly to us. Who can know better than we wtho live among them the need of just this kind or work. We are months behind ,in the salary. Every month our commit-

tee is emibarrass~d all'd •hwmHiated.

Has the matter ever been placed • e- fore' your socie.ty? If not, wm you not at y,our next m.eeti,ng ask the s·ociety to take action and send the mo-ney at once to Miss 'Lam1b? We are und·er -promise for this year's salary, and let us redeem our promise and at once. Yours,

THREE QUARTER'S WORK.

It ·1s high time to oounit u,p how much Kentucky womien and children have ,given rto missions, and how much remains to be giv.en ,by the end of our fisical year, April 30. · For Foreign Missions we gave in three quarters, from aU branches or our work, $5,163, a,r1d in one quarter we m:ust ,give $4,637 to reach our ap,portion.ment. For tJhe Home Board the figures are $1,112 and

$5,988. For the Sun>day Sohool Board, $44.96 and $85.54. For current expenses of th:e Training School we lack $210, and for the end¹owment, $150.60 w1ill pay our colored missionary up to >May 1, leaving two ,more >lll.t0nt1hs to complete the year's work. The Mar- garet Home and M-0Kenzie Infirm- ary funds are all in hand, 360 in in all .for the latter. ·Each society is urged to, see wherein it has fail- ed, and take ,ste,ps to repair m[s,- sdons.

To mountJain schools an,d ,other work in Kentucky we ar,e giving

•fairly well. Let each one of us ask ourselves, "Am I do1'ng my very best to extend Ohrist's Kingdom at home and a,broad ?"

FOREIGN MISSIONS.

Si.nee the ascension of our Lord there has been no justifiable place for argu- ment as to the duty of .sending the gospel to the heathen wo~ld. Indeed we 11.nd in Abraham's call and in Solomon '11

prayer at the dedication of the Temple intense appeals for effort to bear ·· the light of hfe to those who sit in darkness.

The work of the pioneer has been done oy our fathers, it is our task to build the kingdom. We have now reached that stage in the foreign mission enterprise wlien it is almost possible to walk by sight. We have sown the seed of the Icingdom in spots, in almost every land, and have found it fudigin.ous to every soil, .All the problems and perils of the past nave been successfully met, there remains but one thing to do-to rally the forces of our Lord and bend ourselves to the task.

It was a supreme test to the faith of the widow of Zarepheth to be required to pour out the oil and to bake the cake for the prophet, using for the task all her scanty support, but in her obedience she revealed her kinship to U-od. We have passed far beyond that stake. Out of our great abundance we have poured but little and the store has increased a thousand fold, henceforth we can walk by sight, not fearing to lavish the oil, for the results of a little more than a century have proven foreign missions to be the best in.vestment the people of God have ever made. Man did a great deal for iron ore when he awoke it from its bed of death and fashioned it into com- pass needles, but compasses have done far more for man. Electricity was glo- rined when it was brought forth from its hidden home from which it had ventured forth in occasional destructive :flashes, and made to glow in oonstant beauty, but the returns to the race have been in.- calculable. What the commerce of the high seas, engaging as•it does the battle

The discussion of the retul'Illl that b come to us would require many

Indeed, upon careful study we will

81d

that we owe almost all our achievelllell to the foreign mission enterprise,

~

course, we cannot forget that to it owe our hope in Christ. Our Teut:

forefathers in .:the Black Forest and ~ fair-haired Angles of Britton were llie objects of missionary zeal of those, who in the long ago believed the Gospel 11'11

for the man beyond. Had the cry

from the Orient instead of from M~

donia we might still be in the sleep ^of ages, and missionaries from 'China woald be telling to us the story of the Cr011, while we drank our wine from the akalk of our enemies, and offered human aaeri- :fices to appease a heathen god. Every Christian sm.ee the days of the chureh of Jerusalem owes his knowledge of Jt- sus and his hope of ·Heaven to the Blmt

cause which engages our minds today.

Foreign missions have given to our de nomination a new consciousness. Whes Judson and Rice called to us :trom bt- yond the seas we were a feeble, unor- ganized folk, scarcely stronger than oar membership today in a single Stau.

Our gatherings lacked the noblest par•

pose and were devoted to self-improTt- ment and ·the discussion of a treasured but lifeless Calvinistic faith. Few voices were lifted in defense of that dot·

trine around which all others cluster.

and that, too, in an age which applied the severest tests of orthodoxy. In let1 than a quarter ·of a century a new lift of the denomination found expression in

that which hurries to the stricken islands of ~he South Seas with cargoes of grain.

The missionary enterprise does not constitute a separate department of work to work we are but loose tied, and which we can support with our own caprice. It is the arms of a strong man, glorifying his whole being in the performance of the most ennobling of all tasks. As the Sistine Madona rrlori:fied Raphael and St.

Paul's Christopher Wren, so the miBBion- ary enterprise ennobles the body which thrusts forth its arms· to lift the lowlr and light the lost. The misisonary

ap.

peal does not come wholly from without, like the cry of the hungry child, it is the parental instinct within, impelling ·the church to nourish the_ starving with the Bread· of Life. It is the expression of

· a divine passion which seeks to lay at the feet of fts conquering Lord a recleem- ed world. When the mtellect discovers some hidden truth of God, the whole man is ennobled and even his dust be-

comes precious. W.
