Bishop Coleman announced that
the convention would meet at nine
o'clock and adjourn for the celebra.
ton of Communion with a sermon
by Rev. MIR. Hamilton.
Preceding the convention he said
it was a very appropriate beginning
to have service on Missions. 1t is
a great subject. The saving of
every soul for which the Son Of God
died.
Rev. c. M. Roberts of the Church
Of Our Savior, Philadelphia, said in
part he was from section of the
country originally where missionary
work is chiefly the work. Why do
we believe in missions? The answer
comes because Jesus Christ said 70
preach to all nations.
Fundamentalywe preach missions
too because they make men. 1t is
no longer possible with charging
our Master with issuing that behind
which there is no truth. Justified
by nineteen hundred years the saw
age comes forth stripped clean with
the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ.
There is no bigot in this world so
great as truth.
There is no arithmetic which is
nearly correct, one and one never
made three and never will. Breth-
ern, let US not trifie. Let us be true
facts and face them. He asserted
that the scriptures of conf,lscious
Budah and Brahma were not the
ones that make men. There by the
Ganges houses and huts living on
three cents worth of rice day He
was content to believe in missions
because same one told him.
He said he wanted to address
those present as citizens of the
United States. In the days when
Christianity set it's foot in England,
it found barbarity. A Cinnamon
at one time asserted that China had
more colleges than New York had
when our forefathers lived
in caves and his in gilded castles.
But the powers, brought forward
the manhood of of England.
1t was that great church that
brought her for kings, bishops and
|owly were baptized at the same
fount, partook of the same sacra-
ment and heard the same sermon.
But two nations in the history are

Thou shalt love thy Lord thy God

Rev. Hubert W. Wells of st. An
lrew's church, Wilmington, said 10
art that missions had the same
marks in every place. Missions is the
PREACHING of the word Of the Lord
cslIs Christ and him crucitied. 1
When we come to consider the
movement of the Protest
mt Episcopal church in Delaware we
ind several factors. In foreign lands
ur missions get along. The field in
lima is apportinned out and all ac-
ent one thing, the Lord Jesus Christ
ructied.
The lalty that look at things in a
racticel way often tell us that other
eligious bodies are teaching the word
