man is boarding with Mrs. Sallie James,
and attending the graded school. Miss

Rev. X. McCaskill has returned from

No one should oppose home missions.
Representatives of all the tribes of earth
are here in our cities, and the church
should go forward in that great work.
One who reads "Our Country" by DR..
Josiah Strong, will be startled at the
stupendous and portentous facts that con-
front us. At the same time, no follower
of the Prince of Life can oppose foreign
missions. "Do you think the world vii!
be conyerted?" was asked the Duke of
Wellington. The stern General replied
Look to your marching orders " ye
into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature" "lt is ours not to
reason why, ours to do and die, II neces'
sarv." The captain of our salvation was
Himself foreign missionary to a goddess
world. He has given US our orders; II we
are true soldiers of the cross, we musi
obey. Bishop Pierce has well said: "Will
we be saved if we refuse to send the
gospel to the heather ?" After we have
received it, "shall we to men benlghted
the lamp Of life deny?" We must either
| 90 or send the gospel. The Lord OF glory
IS leading His consecrated battalions ON
to certain victory; let none of his soldiers
desert. One hundred years ago the church
of Christ numbered 200,000,OO0 members
now it has Ats, ,900, 900 members. No Bap
tist who thinks of what Carey, Judson
and others have done ought to oppose
foreign missions. No Methodist who re-
members the grand work of John Wesley
will. When denied admittance to the
church Wesley stood by his fathers grave
and as he preached to the listening thous
ands he cried: The world is my parish
prophetic words. Our ancestors Were
heathen people In the forests OF Great
Britain they bowed down to gods many
and lords many. Some one believed IL
foreign missions and sent the gospel tt
them. We ought to have gratitude enough
to send the good tidings to earth's re
motest bounds. "Freely ye have received
freely give" Gregory, walking the street:
of Rome saw some of our fair haired an
/ cestors. He was told they were Angles
from Angle-land, England). "No," sai(
he, "not Angles but Angels" Gregory
sent missionaries and our forefathers wer'
christianized. So well was the wort
done that long years afterward, when
that famous preacher, Christmas Evans
was preaching in the mountains of Wales
those sturdy Presbyterians became s(
happy they shouted gogOniad (glory tt
God) bendi gidig (halleluiah). Look how
the missionary Baptists have prospered
They are doing grand work. Compared
to them, how insignificant showing i
, made by the anti-missienary Baptists, yc
, thelatter denomination once outnumbcre(
: the former. The church that opposes mis-
sions will die. There are "doomed relis
: ions" and "doomed churches" Some o
earth's noblest heroes and heroincs are t
be found among the missionaries. Emf
nent men, ambassadors, learned thinkers
presidents, mckinley, Harrison, Roose
Welt, Cleyeland) and others have spoke
in highest terms of the great work tn
: missionaries of the cross are doing.
l Christ's kingdom is the coming kln&
dom. "Ask of me and | will give the
!. the hcathen for thy inheritance and tn
e uttermost parts of the earth for thy po:
l session" "This gospel of the kingdor
;, must first be preached in all nations, an
! then shall the end come" The Assyrial
,. Medo- Persian, Grecian, and Roman En-
pires have passed away. The mighty en-
ptire of the Son of God is moving 10
n,,r1 to assured success. The day is con
ing when "lie shall see OF the travall
E HIS soul. and be satisfied" 80, day b.
f yond tomorrow, haste thee on. On D
:, yond, when the false ends OF EARN NAY
! al been hunted to the dust, shall con
E the coronation of the Prince of Peace.
30 that with yondcr sacred throng, "
+ at His feet may fall; we'll join the eve
+ lasting song, and crown Him Lord
