 Does It Pay.
 T hear you practical men asking Well does 1t pay? You know I am practical man and you must show ms that 1t pays before turn loose the dollars. We'll all I have to say to thi, practical Christian is that 1t Is not your business whether it pays nor is 1t mine nor any other mans business whether 1t pays. Christ said, Go ys and carry My word unto all the world and it must be done.
 ''One phase of missionary work tha, Is vital to the South is the so-called negro question, the so-caIled race question or black mans question. do not believe that there is such a question. no matter which of these names you may call 1t by. The ques- ton is white mans question. The question Is what are you going to do with the negro and what are you eo- ing to do for him.
 The negro race is an inferior race, that can not be denied. It Is a fun damental fact that where two races are so closely associated as the two races are in the South. if one of them IS inferior there Is but one way for the superior race to save itself from being dragged to the level Of the lower race, and that Is to strain every nerve to uplift the inferior member

 ITO talk of missions" said he. '.al- ways seems in a measure superfuous to me because of the very simplicity of the subject.

 T was standing not long ago on a mountain top that overlooked q vast valley and the sun of a dying day struggled to hold it's head above the distant edge of the world. I tried to look into the glorious orb of that setting sun. and for long time after ward the brilliancy of It's light colored the landscape and enriched my vision of all before me; and so has Christ lent the glory of his face to color the world for all who have looked upon Him in faith. not for one hour, not for one life. out for the time that runnett through all eternity,
 "The world hated Christ as no other man has ever been hated Christ had to fight for his existence; there Is nc searching for softer terms That same world Is hghting Christ today. How many men are endeavoring to change emasculate, to diiate our faith into ths mere newspaper rhetorical religion WI know too we'll.
 T do not think there Is any more certain of the life of Christ than that he struggled to live. The church it Christ and 1t is the secret of the strength of the church that it mus' struggle for life as Christ did. This is the secret of the unalterabie ad- vance of the cnurch because the church must light as Christ fought and the light of the church is its missions.
 "when we abandon the fgnt through lack of interest in missions the church dies.
 "The chivairy of the American peo. ple has been proved. If you knew that Christ was suffering. was being imposed upon. wouldn't you rush te help Him? If you knew that Christ was unjustly imprisoned. you would help Him, I know. But Christ said Even as you did it unto the least oi these have you done 1t unto Me- Are you helping Him? It is Christ thai
