BOARD OF MISSIONARY STUDY
NECESSARY SAYS COMMISSION
International Missionary Confer
ence Urged to Establish One
by Investigators.
REPORT IS SUBMITTED TODAY

Edinburgh. June 22.-The commission
on "The Preparation OF Missionaries
presented its report at today's session
Of the International Missionary con-
ference. The report was read by the
chairman of the commission, Rev. W.
Douglas Mackenzie ID. D.. president OF
Hartford, Conn. Theological seminary.
Having determined the need of
body definitely commissioned to ex-
anime into and coordinate the posi-
bilties for special missionary prepara-
ton, the commission proposed that
steps should be taken by the world
missionary conference TO create per
manent board Of missionary study
through the joint action of the several
societies and boards.
The report I'm part follows:
1T is not possible to regard every
desire To offer for service abroad as
constituting in itself "A call to work In
the foreign field. In each church there
arc those on whom rests the solemn
responsibility of deciding on the Mt
ress Of the applicant. In the strictest
sense no vocation is complete until the
moving of the spirit from within Is
confirmed and crowned from without
through the operation of the same
spirit. No one would claim infallibil-
ity for the decisions of candidates
committees. but definite functions are
entrusted to them. each within the
limits of it's own community.
In order therefore to lessen the dam
ger of eventual disappointment. the
commission would urge the necessity
! for:
(a) More careful statement on the
part of official Populations in their APP
peals for offers of service.
"(b) A clearer apprehension on the
part of both clergy and people of the
requirements of the modern situation
on the mission field.
"(c> More frank and confidential
contact between local workers and the
candidates committees and central Of
hcials.
"(d) Sympathetic effort at the time
Of rejection 10 soften the blow and pre-
vent the dissipation of spiritual energy
consequent on the disappointment OF
the hopes both of the individual and OF
the congregation.
1.-THE church as a whole has respon-
sibility. not only in regard to mission
airy vocation, but also at the various
stages OF missionary preparation.
"As soon as the candidate declares
his intention of offering himself for
work abroad, and has been PROVISIONAL
~ at least. accepted. the period OF
strictly missionary preparation be-
gins. and the direct responsibility of
the church in the matter devolves up
on the special department of church
organization which is concerned with
missionary work.
"The institutions engaged i'm provid-
ing the training have a claim on gen.
erous financial support. The burden
OF raising the necessary funds should
never be thrown on the authorities in
charge of them. They have a claim
still more on the support of constant
and faithful intercession."
