MISSION WORK REVIEWED.

The Fist baptist Church Honors the
Memory of William Carey.
A special mission service was held ut
the First Baptist Church last night which
proved very successful. The basement
of The church. in which the service was
held, was well filed and those who at
tended were treated TO an interesting
lecture on mission work by the Rev. c..
A. Cook of Bloomfield. After devotional
exercises the pastor of the church, the
ReV. MI. Heisig, Introduced the speaker
OF the evening.
The spirit of mission work." Mr.. Cook
said, rs spreading all over the country as
1t never has before and l trust the time
Will come when monthly mission work
Will be held in every church in the coun-
try. One hundred years ago twelve men
met in England and pledged themselves
to carry the gospel to all parts of the
world. Thus was organized tue the Fist
Baptist Missionary Society, tie leading
spirtt of which was a preacher, William
Carey by name. When not engaged in
preaching his time was occupied meuding
shoes. On November 10. 1898, Carey be-
came a Superintendent OF an Indigo
Works in Calcutta. If he went
there as an avowed missionary he
would have been thrown out of
the country. He did mission
Worh surreptlGlously, and the results of
his labors are today the wonder OF the
world. Carey devoted upwards of $780,
600 of his p'ivaIe fortune to missionary
work in Inuia, and before he died theIe
were twenty-siX churches and forty ma
tive teachers in that country. His zeal
lighted up all evangelical efforts. and
from his torch many torches have been
ill.,"
The preacher concluded by pointing
out the earnest obligation of Gods people
10 carry on mission work among the
heather.
