WOMEN'S
MISSIONARY
DEPARTMENT.

DEAR SIsTERs-As the early dawn
of the twentieth century floods in
upon us, we are reminded of the
great battles to be fought and the
victories to be won on the Lord S
side. The present century brings to
us as race, opportunities far great
er and more promising than our an
cestors of the early years of the nine
teenth century everedreamed. And
as our opportunities, so are our re-
sponslbilities God will require more
of the young men and women of the
Negro race of the twentieth century
than he did of the nineteenth GEN.
tury. This is true of every avenue of
life, but particularly true as regards
the spread of the gospel Of the Son
of God.
To our ancestors was given the
task Of crying aloud to God for de-
liverance from bondage. God heard
their cry and deliverance came to
the whole of the oppressed race.
Their work being ended God has
gwen them rest. But to us their chill
dren, comes the arduous task of
fighting, conquering and destroying
the enemies that confront us in this
land of freedom and plenty. The
question might be asked, Who are
the enemies We answer-sin and
degradation wicked monsters who
stalk through the earth seeking whom
they may devour. They count their
victims by the millions, few are able
to withstand them. The inquiry may
be made, How then can such power
full enemies be subdued? By the
power of the gospel of the Son of God.
'For the weapons of ouc warfare
are not carnal, but mighty through
God to the pulling down of strong
holds. - Cor. 1914.
Our young men and women are to
be taught the beauties of Christian
ity. That the religion Of our Lord
and Saviour is noea only for the dy-
ing hour, but that it is to permeate
our lives and he'll us to shape them
after the great pattern, Jesus Christ,
till we shall wear virtue and morali-
ty as jewels on our brow.
The place where these teachings
should begin is in the home, at the
fireside, while the young minds are
tender and plastic. when impressions
made are never forgotten. The one
best suited to do this work is wo-
man-gentle, loving, tender woman.
But the true woman will not confine
all her energies to her own home; she
will remember the needs of her neigh
borhood, her town, her state, her
country. and even to the uttermost
parts of the earth.
In this formative period in the
history of the Negro race, it is Pc
culiarly essential that our women be
filled with the true missionary spirit
or in other words with the spirit of
Christ. That they stand with open
hearts and arms ready to
"Rescue The perishing, care for the
dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and
the grave;
Weep o'er the erring ones, lift up the
fallen.
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to
save"
