torium yesterday. afternoon.
- - The speaker OF the day was
the Right Rev. Lucian Lee
kinsolving. Bishop OF Brazil. Bishop
Kinsolving had no specified subject for
discourse, but he cortAnted himself with
the utterance of general remarks upon
the need of more missionary work BY
Christian men and women in all walks OF
life. The Bishop is a native Virginian, and
q marked Southern accent, coupled with
brilliancy of thought and fine power OF
expression. rendered his address more
than ordinarily interesting.
After Scriptural reading by ArchdeacOn
G. B. Crawford Of Kansas and the usual
announcements by Secretary II. j. Nc
Coy Bishop ktnsolving was introduced by
appreciation Of the high and lofty priv
ilege afforded him Of speaking to an audi
ence of young Christian men and women.

he owed allegiance. but to speak in a gen
eral way of missionary work in and out
of the church. Resuming, he said in part:
DETAILED BY THE MASTER.
Il am a missionary in the cause OF
Jesus Christ. AL of us who are Chris

unspeakable riches of Christ to all the
world, and 1T is our duty to follow in their
footsteps"
The speaker went on to say that COM
mercial enterprise was based on the same
principles by which the affairs of the
church are forwarded to successful con-
clusions. The church seeks to win con-
verts in every land under the sun. When
he went to Brazil twelve years ago he was
amazed to md Virginia -four on sale in
the towns through which he passed. Why
was this flour sent abroad when, in fact.
the very brand was unknown to most Vir-
ginians? Why did not the manufacturers
people before sending it to lands across
the sea? Simply because it is the nature
of business to expand-tO broaden until
l reached and conquered. For the same
reason the church sends out it's mission
aries. The Bishop resumed:
FOR THE GLORY OF JESUS.
