The world is open to travel and residence
excepting only the capital of Thibet and
Mecca, the center of Mohammedauism
If we could read the story of the open
ing of the world. we would see first the
open Bible. We would read of prayers
ard tears and also of self sacrifice, like
Miss Rankin going into Mexico, and Ad-
omram Judson In Burmah.. We would
read also the story of love. But this story
is the appeal of the open world. We ought
to study these things. This open world
calls for men and money. Money is my
self" The work requires haste. These
people are all our brothers
Willis r. Hotchkiss, returned mission
airy from Africa, emphasized the need Of
the church studying the worlds need Of
God. We know far more about the pro-
sress of the United States in the Philip
pines and Cuba than Of the progress Of
Gods kingdom on earth. We ought to
study Gods way of leveling obstacles be-
fore the progress of his servants. There
is no more thrilling or safer literature.
Conservation is a practical thing. Study
the question till His unwea1ed passion
takes hold OF your heart. How shall they
hear without preacher?
