appeal to the boy on all four sides and,
live out our religion before him. The
boy is naturally religious and the
church ought to give it to him. 1t is
not fulfilling its function of getting at
all four sides of the boys life. 1t is
the church's business to introduce the
boy to Christ to give him the ideal
and help him develop it in himself.
The only way boy learns to be is TO
do. You cannot give him impression
without opportunity for expression.
Missions.
Rev. Mr.. Kennedy was followed by
Rev. Mr.. Legg. who spoke upon Mis-
sions. Go We out into the world and
preach the gospel" he said was the
thought OF Christ and of the apostles,
and the church that has been progress
sive has been the church that was hot
and warm with this missionary
thought So far we have merely out
lined the missionary work to be done,
since enormous tracts in heather lands
are unproVided for in missionary eff
fort, and we should need four times
the missionaries we have now if we
are to take care Of these lands. And
not for the htathen alone must We be
interested In missions for there must
be message for our own land. In
New York, more Italians than in any
other city, more Hebrews than in
Jerusalem, the races of every nation
coming to our big ctnters, and out on
our western frontier are big missionary
fields. and also in our own home cOun-
try neighborhoods, where the churches
sometimes stand almost deserted. Such
is the call to Christian missions and
we can also cultivate the hero spirit
in missions by making the lives of the
great missionaries familiar to our boys
and girls. In Him there is no east
nor west, in Him no north nor south
but one great brotherhood Of love. upon
the whole wide earth.
The hymn The Son of God Goes
Forth to War was sung in closing and
the benediction was pronounced by
Rev. p. c. Wright.
