National Missionary Policy.
THE problem in the spread of the Cos

or China, but right here in our own
country we need anational missionary
policy such as Canada already mas
adopted. Our brothers in Canada nave
held a convention which was ATTENDED Dy

among the men OF our congregauon. ano
they are applying business principles to
religious work This new spirit among
men is manifesting itself in three forms:
the organized mems class In the SUNDAY
school, the church brotherhood and the
Laymens Missionary Movement. These
three lines of endeavor are closely inter-
twined. The organized mems class fur-
nishes the training, the brotherhood or
ganizes the constituency and the Lay
mems Missionary Movement furnishes the
inspiration.

representatives.
