The Missionary call.-Matt. 2S- ie

The Missionary call.-Matt. 2S- ie;
Acts l. s; l Cor. 16. 9.
The work of the church is not self.
existence and perpetuation only, but
world-w wide conquest. The early
church $50 understood it, and in the
first century went out to the uttermost
parts OF \the world as they knew it,
The gospel belongs not to one race,
nor to any one nation, but to "all
nations" In apostolic days they were
witnesses 'in Jerusalem, in all Ju.
dea, in Samaria, and to the uttermost
parts Of the earth" The apostles
literally and speedily obeyed the
great commission. The last selection
has reference to the open doors OF
opportunity, which were never so sig.
nally Inviting as to-day. The whole
world is open now to the missionar.
les. Not only does the miss: Jnary
call come to us from the Word, but
Providence has opened every nation
and laid on the Protestant church the
responsibility of going to the ends OF
the earth as an evangel Of Christ
many adversaries." Opposing forces
face the church; but the promise Of
victory Is with us. Let us hear and
heed the missionary call!
Many in our modern churches have
no vivid personal conception of the
missionary call. They do not believe
that their duty Is to evangelize the
world. They need missionary con.
viction. Bishop McCabe always in.
sisted when missionary secretary
that everyone needed second con.
version. a conversion to missions.
Not only are many unconvicted, but
many actually oppose the work OF
missions. They need to study this
great commission. One imperative
need in church and in League is to
get our people to really believe in the
missionary idea, to hear the miss.
ionary call.
There Is a pressing duty TO- get
under the burden and to give some
fairly creditable answer to this call.
Instead of giving a thoughtless dollar
and imagining our duty done, we need
to give by tens and hundreds. In.
stead of playing at missions we need
to get down to business and do some
thing worthy of great church of
large ability We would not depre-
cate what the church Is dong, but
surely we have not yet measured up
to opportunity and ability. Thousands
of our best young students need to
be sent to the foreign field. Many
churches could support alone mis-
sionary lin the field who are now Civ.
ing only a few dollars. If we are to
really obey this call we must multi.
ply by the ten, twenty. and hundred
fold our offerings for missions. We
must push this work. Organize mis-
sion study classes. Circulate mis-.
sionary libraries and literature!
Talk missions, think Of missions,
dream about them, get really In
earnest, and then we hope to lead
the church to obey the great com.
mission. We trust that this lesson
may be a real inspiration to every
chapter. Look at the open door
Consider your duty. Do 1t quickly.

Pro-ress OF the Movement.


Mr.. Martin Dodge, the good roads eS-
pert of the Department of Agriculture,
has reviewed the progress recently
made in the movement for better high
ways, and the showing Is most salts
factory one. Maryland, the Virglnias,
the Carolinas and Alabama are the
Southern States that are making good
progress in the movement. Mr.. Dodge
explains that the growth Of the rural
free delivery has forced attention to
the farmers and county authorities to
the imperative need Of road improve
ment, q need that has been felt for
many years, but which has been neg
lected until supplying it was made one
of the requisites in the establishment
of the rural mail service. Deep inter-
est is being taken in the question, now
that it has been brought up in business
way. anAcounty and State associations
are being formed in nearly every State
in the Union for the consideration and
adoption of the best plans for road I'M
provement. In this work the Federal
Government has taken an active inter-
est and lent every assistance possible
with the limited funds available for the
purpose. Experiments have been con-
Quoted and the results explained to the
local and State associations. The de-
partment has made study OF soil con-
ditions, rainfall and other elements that
must be considered in diffOent locail'
ties in the work Of permanent road
improvement, and the demand from
all parts of the country for Information
of this character emphasizes the inter-
est in the subject. Several railroads
have Joined in the work by sending out
special trains, carrying expert ROAD
builders and modern road making ma
chinery, and constructing sections or
model roads Mt different points along
their lines. Farmers have taken Keen
est interest in this work, and the e1-
forts of the railroads are greatly ap-
preciated by the department. The
country roads of the South, excepting
occ sional well kept turnpikes between
cities and larger towns, have long been
almost a disgrace, retarding the devel-
opn, mt of farms and plantations ana
about doubling the natural cost OF
transporting products of the farm 10

that radical relief is promised
