INTEREST OF MISSIONS
MEMBERS OF WASHINGTON PRES
BYTERY AT DINNER.
Addresses by Chairman John B.
Larner and Others-"For-
ward Movement"

One hundred guests partook of banquet
for the men of the presbytery OF Washing
ton at the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton last evening. Speeches were made In the
interest OF foreign missions and the "for-
ward movement" The function was given
under the direction of committee OF which
John B. Larner was chairman. Mr.. Larner
spoke follows:
1T seems singularly appropriate that the
forward movement in foreign missions
should at this time be taking definite shape.
The massacre of Presbyterian missionaries
at Lienchow. China. within the last two
weeks brings forcibly to the attention of the
Christian world the position OF the ind-
vidual In his effort to carry enlightenment,
civilization and Christianity into the strong
holds of heathenism. To those of US who,
geographically speaking are so far removed
from the 'uttermost parts of the earth and
who are enjoying the benefits of Christian
civiliza ton. IL appears more than passing
strange that such things can be. even with

the horrors OF the Boxer rebellion fresh in
our minds Neither China's deep regret and
humiliation nor the emperor's edict can re-
store to life those faithful ones who walked
into the jaws of death that they might be
the bearers OF the glad tidings' TO the ignor-
ant and goddess of the orient.
Stimulating Example.
These good people have left behind them.
as did the martyrs of old an example which
will stimulate others in even larger num-
bers to carry on the work OF evangelization.
and though 1t may not be in our day, yet the
time will come when the banner of Christ
will fly with absolute freedom throughout
all the world. and the light OF the world will
illumine even the darkest corners of the
darkest spots of the earth.
1T has not been many years since men
looked upon China. India and the isles of
the sea as being so remote that 1t was diff
cult to awaken an interest or to kindle the
fires of sympathy; but in this day. when the
telegraph records almost instantly the hap
penings in these foreign lands with events
fresh in our minds. the hearts of our good
people lock on with interest and pray for
the forward march of the foreign mission
airy cause. These people, once SO remote.
are now so close at hand, and should the
latest dream OF Kipling be realized near
will they be to US that will truly call
them neighbors, and no one will say that
the field is not the world.

continued interest and sympathy that there
by we may encourage those who have the
work actively in hand. In these busy. bus
ting days men as a rule are scarcely aDie

Let us listen tonight to the words which Will
fall from the lips of men eminently qualified
to speak on the great subject of missions. In
the hope that we may be stimulated to a
greater degree, and when we are called upon
to give to this cause may cheerfuiiy
double, aye. treble and even quadruple our
contributions Then will we know that this
meeting has not been in vain, and we Will
have the sweet consolation of knowing also
that we may be the means of helping others
to take the places of those faithful men who
have fallen in obeying the divine command
of going forth into all the world to preach
