attending the early mission enterprises
We're very great and required bold
ness and courage of a high degree.
Many of the greatest obstacles have
now been largely overcome, and the
harvest of the heather world is being
more rapidly gathered.
We are fain to murmur and COM
plain about the slow progress. as
though little had been accomplished.
The courage and fidelity of the mis-
sionary have done great things. whereof
we are glad. 1t is great matter that
the church has been aroused to a sense
of it's duties and privileges. Every
branch of the church has missionary
organizations, and the aggregate of
these amount to a very large number.
Many thousand bold and efficient mis-
sionaries are laboring in the various
fields. The gospel is preached in thou
sands of localities in heather lands.
Millions of dollars are collected every
year to sustain these missions. Hun
dreds of thousands of converts are en-
rolled in Asia and Africa, and when
we add to these the fruits of Catholic
missions Christians in the heather
world can be numbered by the mil
lions. All this is surely condition to
give hope and encouragement to the
cause of missions. Every advance
made is by reason of missionary bold
ness.

Some Bold Missionaries.

In the great army of missionaries there
are very few, if any, that have failed to
display true courage.
1t takes courage to even contemplate
leaving home, friends and the comforts
of civilized life, without taking into ac-
count the hardships trials and sufferings
of Living in heather lands. Only brave.

borious life of a missionary among a peo-
pie stepped in ignorance, immortality and
superstition The l:fe of the most OBJ
scure and least known miss sonary of the
cross would afford illustration of our top

the annals of missionary bOldness, Of
whose sublime deeds and achievements
we have knowledge, to whom reference
may be made with the view Of arousing
interest in missions.

Personality Of Jesus.

Preaching has been defined as the pres
entation of truth through personality.
This was the aim of Christ. who sought
to win all to Himself that He might fill
them with an enthusiasm for humanity.
so that they might be fitted to become CO.
workers with Him In building up the
kingdom Of God by winning men for
Christ. The test Of trial proved that the
unparalleled personality Of Jesus had
touched the hearts Of a loval band that

Christian Endeavorers.

In considering missionary boldness it
is gratifying to be able to point to the
courage and conservation Of numbers of
the Christian Endeavor societies. Chris
tian Endeavor is established in most Of
the mission territories, and is doing a
thorough evangelistic work. and display
ing boldness of a high type. One society
in Samoa, We are told, sent over leo of
it's members to other islands as miss on
aries, most of them to the deadly climate
of New Guinea.
Christian Endeavor is doing a glorious
work. not only at home, but in many Of
the mission fields of the world.
Evening star., 1912-09-28
Conservation.

There is a missionary boldness besides
that displayed by missionaries themselves.
A missionary secretary once said to a
gentleman who had come to take leave
Of his son, "Is 1t not great trial to
you to part with your eldest son?'
"Yes," was the answer, lit is a great
trial, but I've been expecting it for a
long time. The day my son was born l
attended missionary meeting and was
greatly impressed with what 1 heard.
When 1 went home / took the babe out
of bed, and hold ng it in my arms l said
to my wife. will you give this boy to
the missions?'
Yes she replied, will
From that time 1 have been expecting
he would go, though he never knew the
circumstance till after he offered himself
for missionary"
That father and mother had, I think,
the spirit of great missionary boldness.
With such boldness at home and in the
field We may joyously sing
Christ for the world we sing
With one accord;
With the work to share,
With us reprosch to dare,
With us the cross to bear,
For Christ our Lord.

David Brainard.

There have been great and bold mis-
sionaries who have not gone to foreign
fields David Brainard was home mis-
sionary, laboring among the Indians in
Massachusetts,, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania. In the times in which he lived
those states We're yet part Of the thir-
teen original colonies. 1t can be readily
understood that in those days the diff
culties and perils to which he was SUBJ
jected We're very great. His bOldness and
undaunted courage is manifested in the
great words that fell from his own lips:
Il do not care where or how I live, or
I can but gain souls for Christ"
Evening star., 1912-09-28
Source of Boldness.

In our own strength We can do moth
ing. The missionary is set apart and
made minister and witness of the
truth by divine commission. His bold
ness Is derived from the same source
that qualified Paul as the mighty mis-
sionary to the Gentiles. When he was
on his way to Damascus he tells us
that he saw light from heaven, above
the brightness of the sun. shining
round about him and them that jour-
neyed with him. and when they had
fallen to the earth he heard the voice OF
Jesus saying, "Arise, and stand upon
thy feet: for l have appeared unto
thee for this purpose, to make thee a
minister and a witness both of these
things which thou hast seen and of
those things in the which Twill appear
unto thee; delivering thee from the
people, and from the Gentiles, unto
whom l send thee, to open their eyes.
light, and from thee power of Satan
unto God, that they may receive for
giveness Of sins and inheritance among
them which are sanctified by faith that
is in me-.
All true missionaries must have like
experience The manifestation may
not appear SO visibly miraculous as it
did to Paul, but the miracle will be
none the less existing.
The light will shine in the soul and
the VOICE Dc itdlu III tHc HedIt, SdS -
ing. II will make thee minister and
a witness of the things thou hast seen.
and of those things in the which l will
appear unto thee.
The bo,dness cf the missionary of to-
day is because he can say, with Paul:
Having obtained help of God I continue
unto this day, Witnessing both to small
and great, saying none other things than
those which the prophets and Moses did
say should come; that Christ should suf-
=, IIn cho he,f hn fret ff,o
should rise from the dead and should
show light unto the people and to the
GentileS"
And it is through prayer that the help
Of God is secured, the Holy Spirit filing
the heart in answer to the prayer of
faith (Acts, ADD. "And when they had
prayed the place was shaken where they
were assembled together. and they were
all filled with the Holy Ghost. and they
spake the word of God with boldness."
There will be no lack Of boldness when
the Holy Spirit fills the heart and the
love of Christ dwelis in the soul.

The first Protestant missionary to
China was Robert Morrison. Before he
went to the far east he wrote: Il desire
that God will station me in that part of
the mission field where the difficulties are
the greatest and to all human appear
ances the most insurmountahle."
His desire was granted. He was sent to
one Of the most difficult mission fields in
the world. He spent twenty-seven years
in China, during which time he compiled
a dictionary Of the Chinese language, es-
tablished a Christian college and trans
lated the Bible, into Chinese. He was

Suspect Underground Railroad Be-

In This City.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
POTTSV1LLE, Pa. July 6.-The local
police believe they have discovered an
underground railroad, by which shop
nfters in this city and vicinity have been
shipping goods stolen here to Washington
D. c.. and receiving in this city loot OF
shoplifters from stores OF the National
Capital.
Chief of Police Davies and Lieut.. Lin
augh of this city today discovered large
quantities of silk garments, shoes. jeweiry
and other valuable articles of every de-
scription in the home of Mrs Serelock
of New Philadelphia.
Nine-Year-old Girl Held.
This discovery is the sequence Of the
detection of her nine-year-old daughter,
Anna Serelock, late yesterday afternoon
in the act Of taking articles in a local
novelty store. The case was reported to
Chief Davies. who, after taking her to
the police headquarters, drew from her
a statement that she had been plying the
art of q shoplifter, in which she and her
companions had been coached by another,
a cousin Of the Serelock girl.
To District Attorney c. A. WMtehouse
the self-confessed culprit told a tale that
she had been taught to steal by six
teen-year-old girl relative Of Washing
ton. D. c.. who visited her mother sew
eral months ago. and that she brought
with her trunk filed with valuable
merchandis some Of which was given to
the Serelock family and the rest OF 1t
sold. Anna related how she and her
mother were taught by the Washington
girl to smuggle goods from stores in New
Philadelphia and in this city.
Girls Story Corroborated.
The police feel justified in their sus-
picion from the fact that the girl in the
presence of attaches of the stores whence
the goods were taken would pick up GER
tain pieces and tell them that such and
such an article was taken from their
stores. and in every instance she was
corr0borated.
The police are working on further clues
to ascertain the truth Of the child's state
ment. They hope to discover q chain
of shoplifters between this city and
Washington and they believe that older
heads than the nine-year New Phila-
delphia girl and her sixteen-year-old
cousin Of Washington are the chief con-
spirators.
