II Christians had heavy burden at
home, they had a still heavier one abroad.
They stood for the greatest humanitarian
purpose in the world-the relief OF human
Ills. On the mission fields every hos
pital had more than 1t could do. Missions
stood for worldwide education. Every
mission school was overwhelmed by NOR
tals eager for Christian civilization ana
education. Missions were Transforming
the orient. Japan had already been
awakened by Christian missionaries;
China itself was awakening to the bless
ings Of Western Christianity. This was
the condition throughout the Oriental
world.

opportunity was greater than to other
peoples. The ring OF our old liberty bell
had been heard throughout the Orient and
the East looked TO us. The corruption OF
our government might cause us to hang
our heads but OF our foreign policies no
American need be ashamed. The mis-
sionary propaganda represented the big
gest movement for good in tho world.

problems. The biggest men in the world
were the missionaries, and no man at
home should dare criticize them. Mr
Ellis paid a splendid tribute to mission
aries, taking Walter Lowry, the great
missionary in China as an ideal He
spoke OF his extended travels through tho
Orient and the awakening OF the Eastern
peoples. This awakening he described a.

Did you ever try to change a mans mind

could do It If we aided. The Orient spelled
in letters OF gold: 1.-THE evangeiization Of
