struct The open door" prevails.
What bearing have the facts given
here from master missionaries ON the
work and prayer and giving OF our
young people? We are not class by
ourselves. We are Christ's men and
women. and this Is his work. 1t is by
consequence our work too. AS we
read and pray. surely there will come
to us new conception of the privilege
we have. in this topmost age of all
the world, that we should be count
ed workers together with him. let
us not shame our commission.
Bishop Hartzell says: The Chris
tian Church as a whole has not yet
taken Africa seriously 10 heart No
land has had more heroic men and
women. Six hundred have laid down
their lives for the exploration Of the

Lesson Thoughts.
What God has promised is sure.
The believing Christians at home and
the faithful missionary abroad need
no better assurance or encouragement.
The abundance of the sea shall be
converted unto thee, the forces of the
gentiles shall come unto thee"
Christ's Gospel is to be preached
unto the poor, but it is not limited to
them. It's blessings are adapted to
the needs of all classes. "Gentles
shall come to thy light. and kings TO
the brightness OF thy rising"
Selections.
When Bishop Thoburn went to In
da thirty.eight years ago, a gentle
man pointed out to him a brick pile,
and said. you might as well try to
make Christian out of that pile as
out of one OF these people" To-day
they are in India nearly three mil.
lion native Christians, and among
them are doctors. judges. editors,
teachers and business men.
