TOPIC.
Missionary Progress in Asia.
Acts, 1918; I4:I0-27.

- UR subject is a large one. The
w origin of the name Asia is un-
known, but by it is designated
the whole continent extending from
Europe eastward to the Pacific ocean
and from the frozen ocean on the north
to the Indian ocean on the south
Our topic last month was "A Birds
eye View of the Home Mission Field.
and we found 1T a very extensive field
but it will take two birds. eyes to get
the faintest glimpse Of the vast domain
known by the name of Asia. Il. s /.
Why do we undertake to send mis-
sionaries and establish missions in this
or other great continents in which the
people have different religious views
from our own? There must be good
and satisfactory reason impelling U.S.
or we would hesitate in our purpose
We know that 1t will cost untold mil
lions Of money, and the suffering and
sacrifice of myriads of lives. Why
do we promote and support foreign
missions? Simply because we believe
in Christ as He Is revealed to us In
the Bible, and accept His words as alb
solute truth when he said: "All author
ity hath been given unto me, in heaven
and on earth"
given the command, Go We into all
the world and preach the gospel to
every creature" go we therefore and
make disciples Of all the nations"
We have nothing to do with the slow
progress of missions. except in 80 far
as we fail to do our part in promoting
them. They are not our missions, as
we are wont to speak of them, they
are Christ's missions.
In the fullness Of time all things will
be accomplished. It is written that
Christ shall "See Of the travail Of his
soul and be satisfied" Christ is God,
and when God shall be satisfied there
will be nothing left to wish for or
desire 1t was a small beginning when
Christ sent forth His twelve disciples
to teach in His name. yet the influ-
ences then set in motion have gone on,
traversing the valleys and ascending
the mountains Of earth's geography
until today Christ stands forth the
central figure OF the world.
The missions in Asia had very small
beginning. William Carey and his com.
peers, the first English Baptist mission.
aries. labored seven years before the
first Hindu convert was baptized. Ado
hiram Judson toiled on for years without
seeing any result of his labor, until the
few churches which sustained him began
to be disheartened.
He wrote: Beg the churches to have
patience. II ship were here to carry
leave my field. Tell the brethren sue
cess Is as certain as the promise Of q
faithful God can make It,"
One hundred years ago there were nc
baptized converts; today they are num-
bered by hundreds OF thousands
We can only here note the progress OF
missions in Asia in a few Of its promi-
nent fields

ship, it is declared, has steadily increased
and from present indications a larger
auditorium will be required soon. The
chapel fronts on L street and is designed
to form a wing OF the main auditorium,

the church proper is erected, the chapel
will be used as a Sunday school room

The great progress in recent years Of
the Japanese race in educational, COM
mercial and national life Is a matter Of
wonder and admiration to. the rest of
the world.
Only a few years ago they had nothing
worthy the name OF a school. Now they
have complete school system. from the
kindergarten to the Imperial University.
The system is naturally. from its quick
inception and rapid growth. defective In
some respects. The Japanese care most
for practical results and very little for
the discipline that comes from education.
But much of the superdciality will be
corrected in the further development of
their school system.

What are our missionaries doing In

confined to the cities where the non

.'They have boldly gone out to other

that they are attempting to reach Is

to sell 500 copies of the Scriptures IN
seventeen different languages, the greater
part in Persian, and that he had trav-

each year LOCO different persons with

missionaries are doing all in their power.
but conditions are unhappy In Persia.
Famine, poverty, misrule and bloodshed
are rendering her helpless. For her and
the missionaries there the church should
devoutly pray.
