MISSIONARY CONFERENCE.
Interesting Service at Main Street
Last Night-Trinity Today.

DR.. w. r. Lamberth and Rev. { T.
Collier addressed a large congregation
at Main Street church last night on the
subject Of Missions.
Mr.. Collier appeared in the Chinese
costume in which he worked as Bible
agent and Missionary. His remarks
pertained to Chinese customs and pecu.
liarities. The dark side Of their life is
their worship and bondage to the devil.
They stand in constant terror of him.
and yet worship and submit to him. He
told OF several curious devices they have
for circumventing him. He gave bright
and hopeful touch 10 the dark picture
in the work being done BY the Bible and
the Missionaries
Dr.Lamberth made an earnest address
with some touches Of humor. We should
study Missions with the map Of the
world in our hands Guy view Of things
Is too narrow. The Japanese have q
proverb, "A frog IN we'll never beholds
the great sea "
+ The need Of Missions was shown In a
large map comparing the religious he
liefs OF the world; but a small portion
are under the influence Of the gospel Of
Christ. The Others wo.s.ip false gods.
idols Their nations of God are crude
and degrading. No nation can rise
higher than lis conception Of God.
God is working through auxiliary
forces as well as directly through the
gospel for the conquest Of the world to
Christ. he instanced medical missions
giving several interest instances. The
nearest unsaved soul to you is the field
for each individual to begin IN. That is
the true missionary spirit.
