colaborers at the mission: ard he re-
counted incidents in the days work when
show how helpful the mission has been
how it has had opportunities to assist
Ell who by stress of circumstances are
shut out from those things the more for
tunate ones have.
There are many men and women" he
concluded, whose lives the mission not

message.
Mission Work in Great Cities.
General Secretary Cooper of the Y. NJ.
c. A. was presented as representative
from the cavalry branch of the Christian
army, and he spoke i'm general of the
work of the missions in the great cities.
The gospel. as presented in the places OF
the open door. he said. is characterized by
a message of hope. This gospel Of hope.
he declared. is not only voiced at the mis-
sion but is personified by the Christian
men and women. who are connected with
it.
Il am also glad that the gospel of good
works is extended in the missions, ac-
companying the gospel of good words"
he said. For good works will release
the unfortunates from the depths of pow
erty and enable them to contribute again
to their own support.
Il am also glad that the missions preach
the gospel of victory. Never have / heard
from mission platform a statement that
Satan could win over the honest man
that seeks salvation. | am glad, too, be-
cause the mission teaches the gospel OF
the brotherhood of man-how near it
brings us to the Master.
Il like the mission because il breaches
the gospel OF personal service. 1t has
brought into vital life the personality OF
our Lord. And in this connection l think
of the great leaders in the missions-men
like Jerry McAuley of New York.
There is also the education side of the
work. And | rejoice that it begins with
the children. | like TO think that the lit
tie boys and girls are not prejudlced
against Jesus Christ 1t is the right
type of education that leads them early
to Christ.
Il hope the battle against sin will pro-
gress until the city shall be known as a
city of God, where righteousness pre-
walls
When testimonies of converts of the
mission were called for, at the close of
Mr.. Cooper's address, there was no hesi-
fancy on the part of several to give the
full credit to the mission for their enlist
ment in the Christian army and to voice
their pleasure in the service.
Financial Aid Wanted.
Treasurer Thrift reported the present
financial condition of the Peoples Mis-
sion outpost. and asked for further finan-
cial ammunition. The name of the in
stitution is not a misnomer, he declared,
for it is the peoples mission, and. as
such, all should have an interest in it by
adding to the financial supplies.
Many things we see we would like to
do he declared, and we feel the lack
of funds
