Enduring Power of Missions.
Mr.. Carpenter then delivered his address.
Our work in India he said, proves the
enduring power of missions. We look to
the movement in the Presbyterian Church,
where the men are expending s10C0o,GO0 a
year for the advancement Of missions.
The Baptist brotherhood, l hope, may be
equally successful. What we, as Baptists.
should do is to cooperate. We should go
back to the time of Jacobs system of t:th-
ing. In the early history of this country
the Baptists took the lead. At the time of
the revolution we We're 5000 strong In
missions we, Of this country started the
work in India
Are we In the lead now? fear not. II
one cent per day Is procured from each Bap-
fist layman the work would go on to a
complete success. / want to say to the
pastors here that they should inform the
laymen of Their congregations of the value
of missions. l mean that they shall pre-
sent the theme of missions i'm addresses so
that the laymen will come to a thorough
understanding Of the good to be done with
their contributions. The work is for the
not especially TOR the brown race. the yell
low race or the white race, but for US all.
We want your cooperation
