flowing congregation.
Rev. +. c. Klein, D. D.. secretary
and easur Of the board Of foreign
missions, first addressed the congre-
satlon. Dr. Klein for a number of
years served as a missionary in Japan.
AS va expected of him he made a
powerful address. To not believe in
foreign missions is to acknowledge
ourselves an ungrateful people. he
said. The people who do not be-
iieVe IN foreign missions are not en-
titled to be called disciples Of the
lIord Jesus Christ. The same is true
OF the local church and denomination.
TO show that the Methodist Protest
ant church is d mission church, he
referred to the fact that four years
after h church was organized u
board Of foreign missions was or
ganlZed. The speaker mentioned
some of the wonderful and marvellous
SeSuits of missionary efforts. He
said tina the mission is doing prac-
flcally the same class of work thai
has been done here. He said the
foreign mission board should have as

that operate in this country. The
speaker made a strong appeal for

board Of home missions, was the next
speaker, and he discussed in a power
full manner ty<' subject nearest his
heart. He approves Of foreign mis-
slons, but says home missions are not

larger as 1t goes, but it would be ard

w New York city. The speaker re-
Ierred to the many different rationale
ties in the great city. and said tina

there would be 800, 900 people left on
the streets unable to get in a church.
He said the great need OF home mis-
sions was more money to carry on
the work. The call for help from the
home mission board has been SO great
that it seems impossible to meet this
demand.
