Willis r. Hotchkiss. returned mission
airy from Africa spoke from 1 John 81:
10 and 1 John 9: 1911. 1.-The whole world
lieth in wickedness" and Hereby per-
ceive we the love of God" and How
dwelleth the love of God in Him God
and the world expects fruits, including
all we possess. Does the mother love
the child in proportion? Love does not
command. We pray "Thy Kingdom come"
and too often do all we can to hinder its
progress.
We condemn Ananias and keep back our
loved ones whom God is calling out
Jesus babe the rich young ruler "sell and

100 900 ministers and one works for every
forty of the population, while in Africa
as large as the whole of North America
and Europe there are but 1000 missionar-
les. He appeals because of the suffering
Christ who still says 81 thirst through
the voice of his suffering ones.
