An Appeal for Missions.

There is no subject connected
with our christian religion, that i.
Of more vital importance than tha
Of missions.
The work Of preaching the gos
pei to the nations Of the earth be
lOngeth to the churches, as Gods
divine institutions founded for the
purpose Of operating the work Of
missions. And no organized body
Of Baptized believers in Christ,
claiming to be a church, is filling
its sphere in the world if it is not
taking all active participation in
planning and prosecuting this work.
The mission work is greatly neg
lected for three important reasons.
FIRST Because pastors as a ma
jority have not been in sympathy
with the work And the members
Of no church can be stirred to do its
duty for missions 50 long as the
pastor manifests TO interest in the
work himself. 1t is to be regretted
that all pastors do not possess true
missionary spirit. But alas, it is
nevertheless true.
SECOND. The churches have
not been educated up TO the point
to realize the important relation
which they sustain to the work.
And we can not hope for much from
any congregation, until they have
been taught to know that it is their
duty to carry Oh this work, and that
if it be neglected, the churches and
not the ministers, are directly re-
sponsible to God for this neglect. |
Too much has heretofore been ex-
pected Of the poor ministers and not
enough Of the churches that send
him forth. Hence, the minister is
held at fault for the failures along
the line of our mission work and
our churches are relieved of the re-
sponsibility-
THIRD. The churches as a ma
Iority, are not sufficiently informed
as to the condition Of the mission
work and Of the destitutions that
need the gospel.
This information can only come
u the churches however, through
he pulpits. certain it Is that pastors
should keep their churches in
7ormed a. to the condition of the
mission work and the need of the I
ield. If this was done it would
lot be dihcult matter to raise I
means for prosecuting the work. I

rartlal Report or Committee ON An.
pOrtiOnment.

We' tne committee appointed by the
executive Board Of the Baptist state
convention Of Kansas, to attend tO.the
work Of making the apportionment re-
CURED Of each association in order IN
raise the sum Of three thousand dollars
.S5,OOO) during this associational wear,
70 De distributed to the various DEPART
ments of our state work as follows.
For district and state missions. 81 $50.
TOT church Editice fund. 81. .25O Here
Oy submit the following partial report: !:
From the most accurate information
that we could obtain. We find that the
general aggregate OF our membership
IS about 9,12O.
reckoning from this aggregate mem
Dershlp, we find that the amount that
Wlll pc required per capita, would be
nearly equal to b cents. This. however,
would create small surplus above the
amount of three thousand dollars
agreed upon by the state board.
Notwithstanding, we recommend that
thls Will be the per capita. This would
apportion the following as the amounts
70 De raised by each district association.
Ihe Northwestern District. .$1,O5O
Inc Central District. ct........ 1850
Ihe Southeastern District. .... 525
Ihe Northeastern District. 525
Making q total Of about $3.50, or a
surplus Of $3.50, above the present
basis.
Now if each church will note the mem
bership Of its individual congregation
they can very readily approximate the
amount Df three thousand dollars to be
raised. For instance, it church con-
tain membership Of 100 80 cents
equal $35; or one hundred members
BY 81 cents, equal $35 dol
lars, the amount to be raised by that in
dividual church.

the love of God which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord"
Hence once in Christ one will as
suredly die in Christ and will there
fore enjoy this blessing indicated
/ in our text.
But let us consider secondly that
they who die in Christ are said to
be happy, for that is what the word
blessed means wherever it occurs
IN the bible. They who die in the
Lord die happy, But whyo First
because they are placed amid their
friends, Put me amid my enemies.
where every look that greets me is
a trown and every word that salutes
my ear is rash and unpleasant and
you make me miserable indeed.
But set me down amid my friends
and loved ones, whose faces greet
me with smiles and whose words
salute me with welcome and am
happy, because | am made to feel
welcome and at home. Thus it is
with those who, die in the Lord.
they are placed amid angels and
the spirits of just men made per
tect; where the vibrating cords of
celestial music greet them from an
gellc harps and the smiles of our
God beam upon them continually.
Secondly they are happy because
separated from sin and this signifies
much. All of our troubles, sorrows,
Affections and distresses and what
ever tends to molest our happiness,
Illustrate our peace, or disturb our
restis the result ofsin. Seperate me
from sin and you place me beyond
troubles, trials and death. Now
pause for one moment and think on
this; our friends who die in Christ
are seperate from sin. Should we
weep after them? Would we call
them back to again assume the man
tie Of humanity or to tabernacle
again i'll this house of clay, to com
bat with the troubles of this life as
before? Sister Davis suffered for
nearly twelve months with aches.
pains and scorching feyers, she is
delivered from them now, would
We have her come back and take up
again this frail body and have her
placed on that bed of aff1iction to
suffer AGAIN. A thousand times no.
But once more. They who die
II the Lord are happy because they
re IN the immediate presence of
heir heavenly father absent from
he body, present with the Lord"
)h when have been 4 long time
way from my father IN land of
trangers, | would have gladly &c.

7 circle around the cracking fire

ng with principalities, powers and
wickedness in high places.
But death means n return back
ome to be with my father and to
ear words OF JOY from him; they
,uld be none other than happy
Iere
But thirdly the text says they
all rest from their labor. There
therefore a rest for the
.ople of God and they enjoy il
lly after death. But notice. they
all rest from their labour, rest TO
enjoyed must be preceded by
il. FOR onlyt those who labor are
titled to rest: only those who Ia
r can enjoy rest. The soldier

the speaker announced as his text
Rev. fourteenth chapter and thir-
teenth verse. Write, blessed are
the dead that dieth in the Lord, yea,
from henccforth sayeth the Spirit
that they may rest from their labor
and their works do follow them"
This IS the language quoted by John
while upon the Isle of Patmos. 1t
IS to be remember that John had
been commanded to write what he
saw IN book and send it unto The
seven AsCiatic churches. Hence
while he was noting the things that
were transpiring in this chapter, he
heard a voice from heaven; he
paused to catch the utterance and
he received this command. write
Blessed are the dead that dieth in
the Lord, yea from henCeforth
sayeth the Spirit, that they may
rest from their labor and their
works do follow them" From
this passage we note first, that
certain class of persons are said to
be. After death who are thew?
The text says it is those who die
IN the Lord. And this ascertain
presupposes that one has lived in
the Lord. But note again there
must be first an entrance into the
Lord, before there can be a living
III the Lord, or even a dying in the
Lord. Hence the Importance Of
the question, what is the process
by which we enter into the Lord.
Now in that familiar conversation
with Nicodemus, Christ teaches us
whal is necessary in order to enter
into the kingdom of Christ, in these
words, Verify, Verify say unto
you, except man be born again he
cannot see the kingdom of God"
Now note, the kingdom of Christ is
a spiritual kingdom, and the sub
jects of the kingdom must therefore
be spiritual Hence a new or
Spiritual birth is as necessary in
0: der to enter the spiritual kingdom
as natural birth is in order to enter
the kingdom of nature.
The only process by which one
becomes a member of the natural
kingdom is by being born into it.
Even so the only way to become a
member of the spiritual kingdom
S to be born into it. But the point
wish you to see here is, when one |
enters the kingdom of Christ, in the :
same time and by the same process
le enters into Christ; hence Paul i
ays If any man be III Christ he is {
new creature. Old things have t
'assed away and all things have t
'ecome new"
Mark you, one may be member a
f the local church without the new :
irth, but none can be a member of c
piritual kingdom without a new L
irth, this to the mind appears very /
lear. a
But let us advance one step +;
lrther- namely-once in Christ t
leans always in Christ. There is d
0 such thing as being in him to- n
ay and out of him tomorrow. 81
o it would require the same pow
: to put us out that was required h
put Us in That is to say if we h
E born into Christ the only way CT
get out is to reverse the new II
rth and nothing but divine power
capable of doing that, hence 81
ele is no such a thing as getting re

1rist BY means Of the new birth. III
