WEDNESDAYS MEETING
Judge Samuel Davis, the president
Of the conference, presided at the
morning session Wednesday. After the
opening exercises, in which Rev, G..
l.. Washburn led in prayer, Rev. DR.
u @. Gordon, Of Lexington, Mo-, de-
livered an address upon prayer For
the Worlds Need
DR.. Gordon declared that Christ
needed the world even as the world
needs Christ. He looked to the puri-
Tying principles Of Christ upon every
phase Of the worl life. lie urged
that his hearers make the watchwaId
OF their lives Christ for the World.n
We can go all around the world In less
time than it took Paul to go from
Jerusalem to Rome. We have the
power and the money to carry the
message. Bow shall IL be doneY By
declaring facts and duties In Bible
to all men. Thousands Of business
men have not heard the truth In that
Book. We need at this minute 1000
men to supply the fields allotted to us
abroad. This last year we graduated
in ell are seminaries only 48 men.
We must pray. Where were you last
Wednesday night? We go the thea
tire, the club, the lodge, but not to
PRAYER meeting. Who but the Lord
can supply these 1000 men. He said
ask and ye shall receive, and the
speaker applied this to money from
the Lord, as we'll as to other things.
DIR. Gordon emphasized by statistics
the increase In wealth and urged 1t as
a basis for increased gifts to the work.
By q striking illustration drawn from
the commercial world he showed the
zeal Of the Standard Oil Company
with its feet Of steamer and It's or
ganized force stretching yer the
world, SO the gospel:
He urged that men pray that they
might be epistles known OF all men
and the necessity for prayer to lead
such a life.
He gave Two words to the consider
alton Of the men; pray" &C.," as
comprehending the duty Of the church
Let us pray, not for the glory Of the
Presbyterian church, but Of the Unit
ed States in the evangelization of the
world.
Rev. J. o. Reavis spoke upon the
subject of "Our World Field-A Sur
vey." In this he briefly but eloquent
ly reviewed the work of the Southern
| Presbyterian church In the seven
countries of Cuba, Brazil, Mexico,
China, Korea, Japan and Africa. In
these there are ten stations maintain
ed. He pictured the progress OF the
work, the need Iof the countries and
the beneficial influence of the mission
ionaries In the lives Of self sacrifice.
After the singing Of a hymn, Rev.
O. N. Caldwell, OF the China Mission
w. Fl. Forsyth, NJ. d., of Korea and
