in my work. It was granted. and I hired two summer helpers. That $500 gathered thirty-fve schools with a membership of 800. This year I ask for $500, as I found two whole counties, one or them as large as this state, and only one Sunday school in it's whole extent l wrote If get the $500 I can gather 100 schools and 5000 children who now have no Sunday school" expected the money, for surely here was a grand opportunity, but my answer was, We cannot let you have it. The churches this year have given up $2, 900 less than last, and we have had to take off two or our workers in the field, as aur so- ciety will not go in debt" Must these l00 places go without the light of the Sunday school? I asked a young lady converted in one of my meetings, How is it you have never given yourself to Christ before?" Her answer was, "Why, Brother Rowley, I never had a chance? No one ever asked me to be- fore" l have thousands in my broad field who have no chance. A little money will give them the gospel
 Here is a letter from one of my help CTS He says, My daughter hired a girl who calls herself young lady, to come and help with the house work. She saw one of the Sunday school lesson cards, Christ before Pilate,' and ask ed What does that mean?" What is that man holding up His hands for?" and was told he was crying out, "Cruci- fly Him. "and what is that?" When told she asked if they killed Him. On being asked if her mother never told her of Jesus and His death upon the cross she replied, why, I never heard any thing about it' The story was told her then for the first time. Shall these poor children, fast growing to manhood and womanhood be left with no ray of light? Jesus wept over Jerusalem be- cause they would not come to Him and be saved, and our eyes are full of tears because these thousands must be left in darkest ignorance for the lack of few dollars.
 Gods people have the money. A post age stamp will furnish the gospel for one week; put one stamp aside each Sunday, and it will give the gospel to destitute child for a year. Our help must come from you Christians. plead for my destitute district. What more can I say? What will be done?
 ADDRESS BY L. Fl. COBB, D. D.
 Rev. L. H. Cobb, D. D, secretary Of of the Congregational Church Building society, said:
 Sit down at the long distance tele- phone in the New York Bible house and ring up 2,039 men scattered from Maine to Oregon. Only one thing will prevent 2.039 answers; there is 10 telephone in every missionary home on the frontier. But the man is there. In most cases his family is there, and in all cases his work is there. And he is up and at it 365 days in the year. The"e is no end to it,and sometimes no practical geograr h. ical limit to it. His homs IS a mission ary center of which the rIrcumference is nowhere. There is wor1 III caring for the stations covered by his com mission; there is moe work-harder work-in refusing urgently demanded work beyond the bounds of his Commis- sion. A church plaE5eG in wide Ie- zion of spiritual destitution may fairly meet the wants of the immediate sur .oundings; it does more; II is sure to wake up want for forty miles around, and when that radius is reached forty miles more will wake up. The only end
