Message from Africa.
The message from Africa was borne by
Rev. A. F. Hensey, and he was a most
eloquent and convincing messenger. He
opened by the statement there are 100000
people in Africa who have never been in
touch with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and
then showed the audience some African
money, twists OF brass wire resembling
hairpins.
'The first piece of this money he gets is
put aside for the work Of God by the con-
vert, and they support many missions out
Of their pittance of 3 cents a day wages.
The first tenth Of all their possessions goes
to God"
The African story was illustrated by
many striking word pictures Of SURPRISING
conservation exhibited by native converts,
who have themselves become missionaries.
DR.. NJ. D.. Eubank, a medical mission
airy of long service in China, gave the dele
gates many a thrill and brought plentiful
smiles by his earnestness, his wit and his
quaint philosophy, all shot through with
the solidest kind Of common sense. Indeed,
the work OF DR.. Eubank and his helpers
is all based on that winning element.
For years China was a seemingly hope
less field" said DR.. Eubank, and then he
outlined the progress made by periods of
years, until today there are 1900 Christian
workers scattered all over China. By
means Of Christian schools, hospitals, dis
pensarles, preaching, prayer and practical
work a leaven of education and knowl-
edge has been set at work that is having
a tremendous influence on the life Of the
nation. Christian homes are being estab-
lished by native converts. and q spirit
OF emulation to learn. to know, to go ahead,
is abroad among the Chinese people wher-
ever the missionaries have been able to be-
gin their work. To-day we have $1,000
Chinese boys and girls in our schools"
said DR.. Eubank, land there is a door
standing wide open, offering wonderful
opportunity. The question is: VIII you
enter that door?'"
Our Relation to the Problem.
Rev. c.. G. Rollit Of Minnesota, depart
mental secretary of the Episcopal church,
discussed our Relation to the Problem"
He traced the usefulness of the commissary
department of an army, showing the
soldiers In ancient or modern times would
not amount to anything II deprived of theft
commissary supplies. Then he applied the
lesson. I'VE cannot all be missionaries"
said DR.. Rollit, and only a certain few are
fitted to be missionaries. but in another
way we can all be missionaries. We have
heard the men from the firing line. who
have been bearing the brunt OF the battle.
Now, what's our responsibility? We must
be faithful, energetic members Of the COM
missary' department. In that way we can
share the responsibility, and II we do, we
will also share in the blessing"
