 There never was go much interest
 in missions a,nong the people of this country as tEere is to-day. About two years ago (from the drte 1 of this lesson) one of our largest
 steamships. filled win persons inter. estcd jfi Sunday schools, sailed for Rome to hold convention there. Three years before Gin 1904) another
 steamship was filled with delegates to
 Worlds Sunday School convention 1 in Jerusalem. Both these great com
 panies stopped at mission stations, learned about the needs of the mis- sions, and took up large contributions l for tsem from the passengers whose interest was greatly awakened, amounting to over $30.000. ] A friend of mine is sending his son ard wife on two years tour among the Protestant missions of the world to make thorough study of them. l All the great missionary societies gre sending visiting delegates to their l mission stations.
 He had made one journey before we 1 join him.
 l We propose to stop at each city, l and recall the events, the persons, the l stories ard the special teachings which belong to it.
