MISSIONARY SUGGESTIONS.

A contributor 20 the New York Out
look, Mr.. Epiphanius Wilson. recently
preached a sermon on missionary work,
which IL peculiarly timely AT a time
when missionary enterprises in eastern
Asia have contributed largely toward
bringing about the state OF affairs now
existing there. He urges new methods
in that kind Of work, based on the
teachings Of the Scriptures
Mr. Wilson finds several rules con-
s,antly violated by sectarian mission

Both in England and In this country

LOST DIVINE RECORDS.

A Wyoming correspondent Is anxious

restoration Of lost sacred writings. as

ness OF the preacher, and Of saving the
lncensed pagan from mourning the guilt
into which his fury Is driving him, It Is
wise and considerable to obey the in
junction, when they prosecute you
in one city lice We into another"
All these suggestions, We think, are
excellent, The missionaries OF the var
ious denominations would do well to
act upon them IN so-called Christian as
we'll as In pagan countries The fact
Is that they too often consider them
selves as Invaders OF foreign territory
with the view OF holding whatever they
can take, by right OF conquest They
seem to think that missionary work IS
merely a matter Of men and money
and not the power Of the word. Hence
their many failures at home and
abroad.
There Is another suggestion, however.
which is equally pertinent II Is this
that the first and most essential quail
ficaton, Of the missionary Is
that he be called by divine
authority. as were all the true
messengers of God, whose names are
recorded in holy writ. A missionary
is either duly accredited ambassador
Of the Lord Jesus Christ, sent out for
the advancement Of His kingdom, or
else he Is pretender, a fraud, with
out proper credentials, he may be an
advance agent Of civilization. d loctur-
err. IA philanthropist, and so on, but
not a messenger OF the Gospel The
anomaly Of a man claiming to have a
divine mission 10 carry out on creden-
tlas once given to Peter. Paul or
John thousands Of years ago, Is almost
too monstrous for serious considerations
What would be the fate Of man who
in our day should presume TO appear
at the court Of King Edward, as an
ambassador from the United States
on a copy Of the credentials once given
to Benjamin Franklin and necessary
for the fulfllment Of his mission?
Missionary work under the direction
and authority Of the court of the king
dom Of heaven is the noblest and
grandest In which human being can
engage Its details are different at diff
ferent times, but the general scope
always remains the same. The pres
ent mission of the Church OF Christ Is
20 send out the voice of warning to the
uttermost parts Of the world, and to
gather the hosts Of Israel under the
banner of Jehovah. The Lord Himself
Is cooperating In this work, preparing
the world, through wars and other
vlsltatlons, for His messengers. All
this work, in which the Church below
and the redeemed beyond the veil are
taking part Is for the preparation OF
the world for the advent Of Him who
rose In glory from the grave. It is
His work Men and women are but
frall instruments. They may shout
their "hosannahs," and even strew the
road with palms or cover 1t with more
precious material, as the triumphant
procession is moving toward the holy
city, but the work of redemption must
be done by Him, to whom alone be-
longs glory, power, and dominion for
