It is yours to watch its vari- ed exigencies, and promptly apply the aiddemanded. Like the primitive church, the cause of modern missions was at it's commencement but ss the grain of mus tard seedn which was tu spread and fill the earth with its branches. A few young men in college thought, and talk ed, and prayed, over the subject, and soon a little band of devoted brethren and sisters were ready to go to the hea- then. The great object now was, the money for their outfit and future support. Besides supporting them, there would come the expenses of translating, print ing, and instruction incidental to the great work and in proportion as the cause progressed, the expense must be augmented. The church had long slum- bcred over the wretchedness of pagan nations and though the silver and the gold, which had been so ,bountifully thrown into the possession of many of her children, was the Lords, yet how should they be awakened to the obliga- tion.. and induced to render it back to God in sufficient amount, and with iPromptness and permanency adequate to the demand ! . ,s4. a.a .H. aaa's @'' Can the FUNDS be raised? was the great inquiry. The specific effort was made; and when the first of her sons & daughters had gone to labor and die on heather shores, plans were formed, ,agcn- cies established, societies organized, and many precious lives were devoted and worn outindirect action upon the church to enkindle her piety and benevolence, and draw out her, charities. The effort was increasingly successful, and the growing zeal and charity of the church were pouring their constant and deepen ing current of contributions through this channel. The practical answer was giiv- en-the gold & the silver are the Lords, and to his cause shall they be consecrat- ed. This fact produced it's proper result. New fields were explored, new missions projected, and enlarged plans of opera ton adopted. Then came the anxious consideration of another inquiry 12l Where can ike MEN De found ]. Many
