fhe Missionary Idea.

Rev. Leonard Il. Jenkins. pastor Of the
tarmlngton NJ. r. Church. South
The idea of preaching our gospel
in all lands was not man idea, but
Chrlst's. 1t was He who said !:
le shall be my witnesses unto the
uttermost part of the earth. " The
thought Of making our religion
world wide is II revealed thought
thought originated in the mind of
Christ. The missionary idea is Il
divine idea. Plato pronounced
such n thing as world wide re
ligion impossible. Man would have
never aspired to the bringing of all
nations under the influence of our
religion had not God first inspired
him with such conception. This
aspiration of ours was born of in
spiration Of God.
Christ said to His disciples:
When the Holy Ghost is come up
on you, We shall be my witnesses -
Then the evangel who is to carry
Christ S message to the uttermOst
part of the earth" is man and the
Holy Spirit. Man in his own
strength shall be- too weak to spread
our gospel everywhere. His hope
and strength is in the promise of
the Father, " and the Father $
promise is the Holy Spirit. They
can hardly believe in missions who
do not believe in the presence and
power of Gods Spirit in the world
AS God Son revealed the mission.
