actly seven months from the day we
sailed. Our voyage was entirely sue
cessfur in having accomplished its
purpose" *s
is the withdrawal of your missions
from the Holy Land temporary or per-
manent ?"
| mo. 1t is temporary. 1t has al
ways been custom with us to gath
err our various schools, churches and
companies of evangelists, ETC., togeth-
er annually, or Oftener than that.
Years ago we started a Bible school in
Chicago. another in Winnipeg, third
in Tacoma, fourth in LIVERPOOL. a
fifth in Alexandria, etc, but we have
always made it habit to gather them
together occasionally that we might
preserve above all things our unity of
purpose and receive the Spiritual up
life which comes from association
with those devoted to the same high

this world.
Are you able to tell at this time
when these missions will return to the
fields from which they have just been
collected?"
~ soon as We have accomplished
our purpose in gathering together. We
are very deeply stirred at the present
time with missionary zeal to open
up foreign lands-heathen lands-to
the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Those who made the Journey
around the world in the Coronet are
intensely interested in their rare on
portunities they have discovered for
labors in the Interests of men. An
Island which has never yet learned the
fact that man named Jesus Christ
existed on the globe is a rare field;
and such we have discovered here and
there, and our ambitions are to do as
others have done and speedily under
take operations in the interests of
such men,"
Where will this work be taken up?"
IN various parts of the Southern
Hemisphere, as soon as our fleet is
large enough to carry out our world
wee plan; hut at present we are deep
~ interested in opening up our own
continent. chain of missions extend
ing from Panama to the Polar regions
is at present occupying our attention.
a North Pole station will be estab-
hsfed as soon as we have found a de-
sira5ie location and opportunity to la
Dor in Iehalf of the Esquimau
How far North will you plan to
locate such a station as you have re-
ferred to-"
Probably in Greenland or some ad-
jacent island"
How would that work be carried
on?"
I'VE shall use our vessels to convey
the missionaries and their supplies"
Are you able to give an idea of how
soon this particular branch of work
will be commemorate"
at has already commenced. As
told YOU last fall it was our plan to
start Il chain of 100 missions-two of
these are already under way"
Are you actuated IN establishing a
mission in that land by Peary's dis
covery of the pole?"
yes. somewhat I always used to
living at the North Pole we would find
him before our Iabors were finished
since God has commanded us to preach
the gospel to every creature. Mr.. Pea
~ got ahead of me but l shall per-
severingly follow on in his bold, brave
steps. and do my par: IN lower lati-
tudes since he has aScertained there
are no EsduimauX living at the goal
of mans ambitions"
What about the South Pole?"
1--WE have decided during this very
voyage to open South Polar station
which shall be opened at Cape Horn
or it's immediate vicinity. We have
been intensely interested in prayer on
board in these extremes. and our CEN
trai mission will be called the Equato-
rial Station which win probably be To-
Gated in the vicinity of Panama. We
plan to have chain of missions ex-.
terding from this center to the polar
regions as we have already stated
AT the present time where are the
workers you brought from the Holy
Land?"
AT shiloh, our headquarters in this
continent"
