WITH YOU IN YOUR FIGHT.

Dear Sir:-I have just read with
a great deal of interest in your paper
an account of the death of Elsie Sci
gel. I am sorry that the world is so
blind, and it is a shame that the mis-
sionaries, under whose observation
such conduct came, should fail to
give the alarm. I mwith you all
the way in your fight on the insane
measures the different congregations
are reaching. They should stop and
think and put stop to it and recall
the missionaries, and until they were
ready to go out as the apostles, like
Paul and Peter did, they should be
kept at home. It is plain that the
ideas and the work outlined by most
of the missionaries is not the way
God did the work. When Church
gets to judging a man or woman's
fitness for the foreign field by his de-
sire to go as the apostles did, then,
and not till then, will they have the
right kind of fruit for their labor,
and there will not be so many of
them eager to go.
May God bless you, and may you
push the fight till the different de-
nominations are brought to a saner
view of this subject, is my prayer.

list. The apostles were told to go in
to, or among, the orderly ones, the
we'll behaved ones, the organized
ones, and make proclamation of the
good news to all whom had had their
minds changed. (See the Greek of
Mark, 18th chapter.)
They were commanded to go and
do this. Did they go? Did they do
this? The last verse says they did.
End. Romans 1918 shows that
they did what was commanded.
3rd. Also Col. 1:6, and also 23rd
verse.
These quotations show that Christ
did not command them to do some
thing they could not do. But that
they did do all He commanded them
to do.
Now, a thing you should know is,
how could they do this without
money and without passport from
the governments to travel?
If you were in possession of these
facts you never would say that you
were in favor of foreign missions.

harangue from another simlin head
from over here in Alabama. If he

one article was worth twice the sub

Why is it that nothing but simlin
