full significance of that seemingly
simple act cannot be measured. These
were the men upon whom hung the
future fate OF Christianity.
Today we present the formal com
mission of the American Board of
commissioners to our brother and
sister who are soon to journey on
ward to China, there 10 assist others
who have already preceded them in
teaching the principles OF the Chris
tian religion to the rising generation
in that new republic.
Christ has called them to lie apo =
ties. and today they answer that call
as they accept from the church their
commission.
As they go, they will bear the same
message as did the first apostles,
saying to the young men and young
women OF China, as they shall teach
them and lead them into service:
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand
for while they may not themselves

cleanse the lepers, We shall expect
them to cast out devils, for we be-

hearts the gospel which shall set free
those who are still bound by ignor.
ance and superstition. s.~
f As we, the members of this church,
In this commission service, link our.
selves to them for the accomplish
ment of this work, shall we not also
in this hour determine anew, each OF
Us, to accept our mission and go
forth as apostles for Christ: if not
into some foreign field. then out into

is SO great and the laborers still too

pledge ourselves heart and heart to
be true to our apostleship, remem-
bering the words of our Master: AS

There is one question which every
honest disciple must ask and keep on
asking until he is sure he has found
the answer: Lord, what will Thou
