Foreign Missionary Society.

The Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society of the Methodist church has
reached the point where she realizes
that investment in printers ink pays
we'll, therefore she has determined
to act upon the suggestion of one OF
her most interested members and
have a press correspondent to con-
stantly keep before the public what
in Gods strength and goodness, she
has accomplished and intends to per.
form in the days which lie out in the
future.
We have not always felt that each
and every one of our members has
been as loyal as she could and should
have been-if we had been why
friends, there is no estimating the
real good we might have done. Let
us catch somewhat the spirit of the
Master and link our efforts, however
feeble, with those of our members
who constitute "the faithful few
and we will see the work of the
Lord prospering in our hands. Are
we not prone to not realize that
Christ has in deed and in truth the
missionary spirit? This is what
brought him away from the heart OF
our loving, merciful Father. Oh!
let us study missions as we have
never studied missions before; let
US pray for and give to this blessed
work as we have never prayed and
given before.
When I realize that missions is
nearest the heart of our Saviour him
self and that he came into this world
of sin and woe in order that He
might lift humanity closer to the
father-heart of God, and that he died
for everyone, surely, for this reason,
if for no other, we should obey the
command which has sounded down
the ages: "Go ye into all the world
and preach the gospel to every crea-
st. Mark 1915. If we are
willing to let our Master use us In
the extension Of His kingdom have
an intense love for souls. Do not
be discouraged in this glorious work
but remember Christ died for poor
sinful humanity and is depending
on you and me to carry into their
lives and hearts the gospel message
of glad tidings. We do need to have
much prayerful, united effort this
year in order that our beloved work
shall take on still greater life. and
ego forward" God needs you in this
work but you need Him far more
Our Father does not do for us what
we can do for ourselves, but He gives
us His grace which is sufficient fol-
our every need. If He requires hu-
man ~instrumentality to help Him
to evangelize the world, then surely
He requires you and 1 to Study mis-
sions so that we may have our inter
est in same. intensified to such an ex-
tent that we will pray daily and be-
lievingly for the workers in the
homeland and for the devoted, faith
full missionaries in the foreign fields
Then, too, we will give lives of ac'
tive, consecrated service and money
to the point of self-denial. Come out
to our monthly meetings. They are
interesting and so helpful. Wont
YOU come up to the help of the Lord
Join hands and cooperate the one
with the other so that we may have
a splendid society which shall tell
for great good Plan to give your
time, labor and strength for one
afternoon each month by attending
the meeting and putting your very
self into it. Then remember we are
commanded thus: ASK of me, and
shall give thee the heather for
thine inheritance, and the utternlost
parts OF the earth for thy posses
