THE NEED FOR THE
r. LAYMAN'S MOVEMENT

From Wednesdays Daily.
The principal purse strings of the
world are in the hands of men. The
speedy evangeliZation OF the world
requires money as well as workers.
Men. can furnish the money but will
ruf give Il without faith in the necs5-
sity. and they will not get this faith
without knowledge. and such knowl-
edge is bes, acquired by cooperative
study. II men really knew the need
ofSS1ission work in heather lands,
--hat Is being accomplished.
xpew how economically money is be-
ing expended and how much good
small amount is doing. there would be
no lack of funds to support every vol
unteer ths, is fitted for mission
work.
The fact that practically the entire
heather world is now open TO mis-
sionarv effor8' seems to require OF our
age greater effort than of any pre-
vious time Christian men. in the
past, have not assumed their share
OF the burden or rather privilege or
this inspiring work. Mission work
needs the business management meth
cd. experience and leadership that
layrnen can furnish.
Then the laymen themselves need
the stimulus TO Christian activity that
such an organization is sure to bring
TO every one who becomes thoroughly
interested. Those who give OF them
selves. In labor or money are sure
TO receive a blessing.
