Missionary Anniversary
Last night at Greene-Memorial
Church several solo selections we're
rendered by Rev. M. II. Strickler,
after which an impressive prayer was
offered by Rev. j. P. Stump.
The occasion was In commemora ton
OF the missionary anniversary of the
Baltimore Conference, and was first
addressed by Rev. DIR. Tigert. who re-
ferred to DE-. Lambersh, the chief
speaker OF the occs sion, 40 being q
born missionary and Chinaman by
birth, he being the SON OF a missionary
and born In China
He said that he believed that Meth
odism comes nearer to the Apostolic
Church than any other people extant.
You hear the argument advanced that
there are thousands of unconverted PEG
pie In our own midst that we had better
reach before going to heather lands. II
that had been the doctrine of the Apos-
tolic Church that church would have
died In its infancy. 1t is we'll within
the power OF the church to preach the
Gospel universally, snd before this
question shall have passed from the
Bcene OF action Gods words may resound
into the uttermost corners OF the earth.
Rev. Mr.. Collier, the Chinese mis-
sionery, gave an interesting account of
how Chinese father and son were con-
verified to Christianity and the great
work they were afterwards capable of
doing and did do in bringing the Gospel
to the benighted people in the Chinese
empire. He also related an incident
showing how the Chinese would cling
to their heather gods, but after their
conversion they will undergo great
privations and suffering for the cause Of
Christ.
He then related a remarkable instance
CT the power OF prayer, after which DR..
Lsmberth spoke for come time on the
history of missionary work and the i'm
por.snce OF keeping missionaries in the
foreign field. He INDUCED In list of
personal history, which was Of conuider.
able interest. His grandfather conse-
Grated and gave his father at birth to
the cause OF missionary work, together
with hundred dollsra. When the bow
grew to manhood he was educated for
his life work and gave his life to 1t,
having served as missionary to japan
and China and having died while en-
gagged in the work. The son, who WAS
brought up under missionary care and
training, 10 now following in the foot
steps of his father and his life work il
largely devoted to the GAUGE of foreign
missions.
He entered into the history of the
work In Africa, China and Japan, to.
gesher with the peoulisrities Of the
peoples and the true devotion of the
converted from these races. and closed
by expressing the hope that Chris
tianity would soon break the crust
that has been forming for centuries
and rescue that people for the Son of
God.
