The Sunday.SchoOl as a
 Missionary Society
By Mrs. R. l.. Roland

Having been appointed to pre- nare a missionary paper, and having been given perfect liberty to choose my own subject, l have decided to write briefly on The Sunday school as a Missionary Society N
 can only touch a few of the most practical points
 And let it be remembered first of all. that it is not optional with us whether we shall have a mis- sionary society in the Sunday school or not. The law of the church plainly directs that all our schools shall be organized in to missionary societies.
 But it does depend upon us to determine whether this shall be done in the true missionary spir, it or simply carried out in duty only-merely because 1t is re- quired of us by our church. we are likely to do only enough to give us the proper standing with the conference, and remain entire strangers to the real spirit of the work. We will thus completely miss the purpose for which mis- sions is made a part of the Sun day school study and activity.
 AS to what purpose is, it is needful only to say, that the missionarypropaganda is the one work of the church in our day The church has but one business in the world, and that is to give the gospel to every creature. All our various enterprises -t e work of the local church. the Sunday school, the Epworth League, the Mission and Church Extension Boards, our Educa- tional institutions, and our mis-
The Prescott daily news., 1912-01-29

sionary activities in the home and foreign fields, have this for their central purpose, to not only make disciples, but intelligent disciples, of all the nations.
 If this be the one business of the church-then it can never be carried on to it's glorious consum- nation, unless the church is thoroughly surcharged with the missionary spirit. Only a mis, sionary church, a church sent of God, and constrained by the love of Christ, to spend and be spent for the salvation of sin cursed world, can ever fulfil this exalted mission.
 So, our study with reference to the Sunday school is especially concerned with the que stions of spirit and method.
 As to the spirit. If we would develop the right spirit in regard to missions, three things are es- sential - namely, Information, Prayer and Activity.
 1. Information. - We must study the questions of missions Not merely in the little period of time allotted to us on missionary day, but throughout the entire Sunday school hour, ou that day. Songs, prayers, lessons, all that is said and done, ought, not in a dull, monotonous way, but in a lively. tactful and most earnest way, to revolve about the subject of missions. Let us understand that Missionary work is no child's play, but is the life and death struggle of the kingdom of Christ with the powers of evil, with the rulers of the darkness of this world"
 And not only on missionary day, but every day, let the study of missions go on. The pastor, the superintendent, and all the teachers, must be ahame with
The Prescott daily news., 1912-01-29

patriotic duties; as our pity and sympathy grow deeper while we minister to the objects of our sympathy. so the missionary spirit grows and intensifies, as we go about actually doing mis- sionary work.
 It remains for me to discuss briefly the questions of our me- thod. Our school must not only have true missionary spirit; but both in the means employed to develop that spirit, and in the la bors which are to be the expreS- sion of that spirit, we must dis cover and persue the best meth ods.
 It will be well if the pastor and superintendent, together with the missionary committee or missionary officers of the school, will give much care and thought to the devising of the best meth ods for directing our missionary activities, and 10 putting those methods into execution. A sin cere interest in the work, and an intelligent effort to discover the
The Prescott daily news., 1912-01-29

best ways and means cannot fail to result in a vast improvement in the practical workings of the Sunday school as a missionary society.
 As to details 1 shall say but lit tie and that little only by way of suggestion.
 1. On missionary day the school should be opened as wei! as closed--as a missionary socie ty, Let missionary songs be sung, a missionary scripture les son be read, and let an earnest prayer for missions be offered. A missionary turn should be given to the teaching of the les, son and the lesson period should be shortened enough to give full half hour if possible to the missionary committees progran
 ? The class, or committee, having full month ill which to prepare the program ought not to be content with anything but a good one. A missionary an,

missionary zeal; and this spirit must be caught by the older pu- pills of the school, and there must be such seeking of missionary knowledge as will awaken the curiosity and enlist the thought of the smallest children in the elementary grades.
 Our study of the general sub ject of missions will fall under four special divisions: 1. The teaching of Gods word on the subject of Missions. ?. The his. tory of the missionary struggles and achievements of the church of the apostles and their success sors. 3. The conditions, needs and possibilities of the mission fields of today, and 4. The his tory, methods, equipment, achievements and possibilities of achievement, of the missionary movements and forces today.
 To have some fair knowledge of these four phases of the sub- ject, will, in itself, go far toward the creation of a healthful mis- sionary spirit.
 ?. Prayer. If we are inter. ested in missions, we will pray for missions. This is doubtless true. But it is not so infalliby true, as this other form of state ment: If we pray for missions, we will be interested in missions When we see u e values and the needs of work sufficiently to be driven to our knees in earnest prayer to God in it's behalf, our SOhSCI II lOI ulic SuCCGSS Ol lllC work, and the welfare of the workers, is sure to become deep, earnest and unremitting. D
 It is not enough that we know what the word teaches about the work; we must pray for grace and wisdom to follow that teach ing. It is not enough to know the history of the trials and achievements of the first mis sionarieS; we must pray that a double portion of their spirit may fall upon us. It is not enough to know the condition and needs of the Christless millions of earth today; we must pray for them, and for the consecrated men and women who labor among them, and for the Lord of the harvest to send more laborers into his harvest. Itis not enough to know the machinery of the present day missionary move ment; we must oil the machin cry with prayer, and earnestly entreat the Lord, that He may drive it's wheels, with ever in creasing power and swiftness, by the breath of His spirit.
 3. Activity If we would de- velop the right missionary spirit our school must not only study the subject and pray for the work; we must actually engage in missionary effort. Nothing can so fill us with enthusiasm for the work of missions abroad, as to be actually doing missionary work at home. Every time we try to bring a new recruit to church or Sunday school, we are doing missionary work. When we are trying to win men and women to Christ we are mission, aries.
 When we minister to the poor, the sick or the unfortunate of

The electric coffee percolator un-
doubtedly makes coffee in the best
possible way; conserving all the
strength and fine aroma Of the berry,
and with the least expenditure of
time and trouble. The electric tea
percolator combines aN the useful
qualities of the Samovar and modern
teapots; the teaster and egg broiler
are delightful and the disk stove
cooks on the table so that every meal
may be a feast, especially if one has
q ching dish also equipped with
electricity. But the thing that pleases
most among these practical utensils
is the electric grill; this splendid de-
vice is ready for instant service day
or night wherever there is an electric
light socket.
1t does everything that you can do
with all the other electric cooking de-
vices that have named except make
tee and coffee; for it makes toast on
the radiant coils; and on the coils
three small chops and over the grill
fits sauce pan, shallow and small
but large enough to make sufficient
brown gravy to dress the chops
with.
And while you are toasting and
bfoiiing and sauce making all at
once, on the top you can set tiny
Kettle and brew a cheering cup of tea
or cocoa
Absolutely fiameless, electricity is
the safest of all fuels and in the cleo
trio grill may be used on the dining
room table or in the library; or,
whisper it softly, in the bachelor girls
hall bedroom.
There are no divorces in homes
whose dining rooms contain these
lovely useful cooking devices; for
they promote domestic happiness.
Hubby no longer reads the morning
paper alone while wiley wears her
self to FRAGILE over the range in
the kitchen and comes to the table
too tired to eat: instead he reads the
latest about Kilbane and Teddy and
rcasts the Lawrence factories and the
Columbus suffragists aloud and at the
same time keeps watchful eye on the
toaSter.
There may be men who prefer a
feast prepared at the expense of the
wife's nerves and temper to a simple
meal, piping hot and we'll served; ;

fortune not to know them.
The real meaning of domestic
science should be the study of home
conveniences so the maximum of COM
fcrt may be reached with the minimum

as the selection of well balanced
meals; only the combination of these
two can make that most precious
thing on earth, a home.
