Specially Arranged for This Paper
LESSON TEXT.-Acts i5:s6-2i.17.

Sea and Land
There never was so much interest
In missions among the people Of this
country as there is to-day.
About two years ago (from the date
OF this lesson) one of our largest
steamships. filled with persons inter
ested in Sunday schools, sailed for
Rome to hold convention there.
Three years before lin 1901 another
steamship was filed with delegates TO
a Worlds Sunday School convention
In Jerusalem. Both these great COM
panies stopped at mission stations,
learned about the needs of the mis-
sions. and took up large contributions
for them from the passengers whose
interest was greatly awakened,
amounting to over $4,000.
A friend of mine is sending his son
and wife on two years tour among
the Protestant missions Of the world
TO make a thorough study OF them.
All the great missionary societies
are sending visiting delegates to their
mission stations.
