We should decide to make the most
out of the powers God has given us.
We are all in contact with two
worlds: the inner world of thought

Men and Missions.
MEN and Missions was the sub
ject of an intensely interesting ad-
: dress by MFR. Corey. At the outset he
complimented the men. whom, he
+. said, composed the most Representa-
tive body he has seen in any city
He said his heart rejoices to see that
men are living up to the Christian
standard. The time is passing wher
men will sleep in church work, and
they will lift the load from the
shoulders of the women of the world
!who have taken II during the past
Men. he said, have the brains. brawr
and pocket books for the upbuildms
of the gracious kingdem. and mer
are especially equipped for the task
,of the evangelization of the 1osi
world. He termed this one of the
bravest, boldest and most heroic tasks
that Jesus ever laid on his shoulders
Jesus gave US a manly gospel and he
chose IL men as his disciples tc
preach it. On the day of His ascen'
sion He told them to go into all ths
world and preach the gospel and the
first church at Antioch sent out two
men as missionaries Mr.. Corey said
ever since men have shirked this tash
but now are beginning to grasp II.
believe, he said, that It is a mans
task and not a woman's. He said
Jesus expects the big hearted mer
with big pocketbooks to preach the
gospel and they should finance the
movement to the lost world. Men
have sidetracked the ringing COM
lmand to spread the gospel and have
/. hidden behind the women. Now men
! are awakening. He compared man s
power to the work at the Panama
canal. We should be ditching for
Jehovah, he said, and linking up the
lost races to God and carrying the
waters of salvation TO the thirsty
souls.
1t is too big a task TO be left for
the women and children. Sixty-fve
years will be required TO christianize
Africa, 100 more for China and
Japan and 100 more for India, MAX
ing a total of 265 years. This would
be the result of one man preaching
TO 10000 heathens daily. The num-
bers are enormous. The men ought
to finance the movement and not
leave 1t to vest pocket offerings once
year and their wives and children.
He said the movement ought TO spur
every spark of heroism in us and at
the present era men are beginning to
look upon ii as a business PROPOSE
ton. One difficulty of foreign mis-
sions is that IL has not been made
definite, and when men can see it
they can accomplish the movement.
You don't have to ride in an aero
plane to be hero, he said. The real
heroes of today are the lonely pickets
in the midst of paganism. darkness
and despair in the heather lands. In
many instances the lost world is not
thought Of. But we are. he said. the
products of the work of missionaries
of years ago and had II not been for
them We might now be in the jungles
quarreling with the monkeys over
cocoanuts. He said some people are
