hand Of the bride, said: In the Divine
presence and before this assembly I

MiCHENER'S ADDRESS.

Secretary Kitchener said in part:
In order that all of the methods oil
missionary education may be more
| generally utilized. after consultation
with the leaders of a large number OF
the mission board, the movement has
already planned to send cut during the
summer OF 1908 a number of interde
Homihational missionary deputations
Each of these deputations will have
three men in it. These men are be
ing carefully selected from theological
! seminary students and returned mis-
sionaries. Each deputation will be
| provided with lantern slides. moving
picture film and an exhibit They win
80 to the smaller cities not usually
| cached by the mission board secre-
taries or the agencies which thus far
| nave been in operation, These depu-
tIti0ns will renain - In these cities
about one week. In addition to the
auDiic addresses on missions and the
showing Of pictures. one of each depu-
tation will be man especially well
qualified to gather together the per-
sons in the different churches. VIII
during the following year. should be
teaching mission study classes. An,
other man will be qualified to in
strgct In methods of introducing mis-
sionary instruction into the Sunday
schools. These Populations will
therefore, do something more than
hold a few public meetings. They
will leave something permanent in
each community visited.
One of the peeuiarities OF the
Young Peoples Missionary Movement
is that while it is INSTRUMENTATION
in organization and management,
everything which it has or does is
used denomlnati5nally Having Meth
er membership local constituents
contract with organizations in local
churches, it stands in the position Of
administering to-. the needs of all. Ii
thus unites for common purposes the
leaders of all the missionary organ
izations ON the continent. BY this
method of administration it is pfodue
ing for those mission boards material
they need at an expense very little
above what it would cost one board
to carry on such far reaching plans for
itself II secures the experts on mis-
'sionary problems from each of the de
nominations, and makes available 10
every denomination the best things
missionary which are in existence. II
therefore is auxiliary to all mission
airy activity and takes the place Of
not other organization now in exist
ence.
