Or. and Mrs. Pinney.

l have space to only mention one other
mission field Of Africa. At Benito, West
! Africa, are stationed Dr. and Mrs. o. H.
| Pinney, in part supported by the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church Of this
city. They are doing a magnificent work.
DIR. Pinney devoting his time in the fore
moons to teaching the most advanced
| scholars in the station school and giving
his time and service to medical work in
the afternoons.
| He Is. busy from early morning until
! night. He has full charge Of the school,
and with native assistant does all the
! teaching The Spanish officials there in
| sist that Spanish be taught, and by a
white man. This takes all his mornings
and his afternoons are more than full
with medical work.
| Every effort is made to train the chill
dren in useful knowledge and to bring
/. them to Christ. The children so taught
are great factors for good, in the towns
| from which they come, when they return
| to their homes.
DR.. Pinney's medical work gives him
great opportunities to speak to the souls
| in darkness. He can reach many peo-
pie that can be reached in no other way
The Pinneys are doing a grand and sue
cessful work and deserve our earnest
prayers and hearty support.
In a recent letter from Mrs. Pinney,
handed me by Mrs. Wallace Radcliffe,
president Of the Woman's Foreign Mis-
Washington city, I find the following
statement: THE reports from all the
stations are very encouraging. Olaf,
our most interior station, Is forging
right ahead in every department Of the
work, and is showing grand results
all the work in the Kameruns is in fine
condition, and the Bulu people are re-
spending in every way. We feel there
is great future before US. and oh that
we could have the workers to go in
and reap the harvest that is ready and
waiting
Robert E. Speer tells us that "the
story of missions In Africa has been
of triumph and gladness. OF the las
white missionaries who have gone out
from the beginning twelve have died.
and not few others returned within
one year. The average service has been
seven years.
"On the other hand, there have been
some who have lived and toiled long
Ogden for twenty-one years, Mrs. De
Heer for thirty-eight years. Miss Nassau
for thirty-two years. Mrs. Reutlinger
for thfrty-four years, and all these are
still living and working actively for
Africa
Since those words were uttered, some
ten years ago, there has been still longer
hindrance to missionary endeavor IL the
dread west coast fever. Very few
whites can become acclimated.
Still the work goes on. Missionaries
have always been willing. and will al
ways be willing. to lay down life gladly
to teach the glorious gospel OF the
blessed God to Africa, ana to guide the
simple children Of that land into ways
OF sobrtety. industry. Righteousness and
peace.

Control of Europe.

The only independent countries in Africa
are Liberia, Abyssinia and Morocco. Al
the rest is under European control. The
territory outside of the Independent coun-
tries named is under the sway of France,
Germany. Belgium. Portugal. Italy and
Spain. The European control is more
largely used for commercial gain than
for the elevation Of the people into the
blessings of morality and civilization.
It would seem hopeless undertaking
to eeenblish Christianity in the dark con.
tinenfsif it were not for the evidences of
the missionary progress already made
and for the promises of the Bible of the
final triumph of Christ's kingdom through
out all the world.

Ministry, Methods, Message.

The Galilean ministry conferred about
Capernaum, which Christ realized was
the strategic point for Him to preach the
gospel of the kingdom. The people were
progressive. They welcomed with en-
thusiasm the ministry of helpfulness that
Jesus inaugurated. Largely farmers and
fishermen filled with religious devotion
to the Sabbath and feasts they anticipat-
ed and welcomed, readily every Messianic
claim. Jesus by His philanthropic prac-
tice and popular preaching, marked by
sympathy for the marred and spiritual
insight, quickly achieved q prominent
place. The authority and attractiveness
of His ministry was increased by His su-
perior spiritual life.
The message that Christ had for human
ity demanded the training of messengers
whom Jesus could send forth to develop
the kingdom Of heaven. Our Lord changed

Ideal of Christian Unity.

It would seem to be essential to rec
ognize that in any possible scheme for
the reunion of Christendom no one ex-
listing church should attempt to absorb
all the other Christian churches into
itself, Thus, in the preliminary enor'
to bring about unity among Protes-
talts; neither the Episcopal Church MOI
any other should attempt to absor
the other Protestant churches. but
rather to seek realignment and re-
organization upon a large and gen
erous e plan of comprehension. The
problem will be to develop Christian
organism which will correspond TO the
human body, in which there are many
members, but all members have not
the same office. Liberty OF thought
freedom of action. diversity of method
variety Of form, all must be embraced
in the unity of a simple faith and in
an organism which holds In harmony
of action these diverse elements.
,Unhappily, this ideal has hitherto
received no encouragement from the
illustrious heads Of the great Roman
when. therefore Father Doyle, IL
his Impressive plea for harmony calls
upon the churches "to get together.
we fear that he must mean that the
churches must get together by sub
mitting1 themselves to the papal see.s

Seven OF our lessons were selected from
the two formal sermons that Jesus
preached proclaiming fundamental princi-
pies OF the kingdom. In our analytical
study of these sermonic masterpieces we
have lost much OF the value that would
come from a synthetic study. The review
gives US an excellent opportunity to study
each sermon as a whole and make COM
parative study of both discourses.
The spiritual character of the members.
mission and message of the kingdom was
emphasized by Matthew who presents
Jesus as fulfilling the Old Testament
prophecies concerning the Messiah. The
social aspect of the gospel OF the kingdom
is presented by Luke who. writing for the
Greeks a gospel for Gentiles. presented
the universally or the appeal to human
ity Of Christ's ministry. Our review
should lead us to reread both messages
and to realize that the two sermons we
have studied emphasizing different as
poets which are not antagonistic but one
for the spiritual finds expression in the
social so that the enlarged conceptions of
religion presented by Christ in His mani
festo were fulfillments of the Jewish ex-
pectation just as the flower Is OF the bud,
and the man of the boy. The Kingdom
presented the way to happiness, en-
phasized the Christians responsibility 10
the problems of life. presented by the
pinch of poverty and the peril of plenty.
The solution of every social problem
Christ made possible by the law of love,
the basic principle of life that makes pos
sible the meeting of Gods demands.
Christ fulfilled the law by His life OF love.
Our eighth lesson that presented the rela-
ton of the old law to the new life was
based upon one of the selections made
by Jesus from the lteralistfc Interpreters
Of the law. while the ninth was chosen
from one of three selections made by our
Lord from the hberastic school 10 prove
that the sincerity of speech and spiritual
standards of life based upon personal
experience, that He advocated. were
superior to the Journalism of His day.
Our last study of the fundamentals call
ed for a new heart that would prompt a
loving obedience that would fulfill the law
by life, love and i.Ybor.

great communion undertakes to require
of all Christian people the acceptance of

standardization, proclaimed in 1915; the
dogma of the immaculate conception of
the blessed virgin, proclaimed In 1884;
the dogma of the infallibility Of the Pope.
proclaimed in 1870. The difficulty Is not
that members Of the Roman Catholic
Church see fit to believe these dogmas.
but that that church should refuse to
enter into any scheme OF Christian unity
which does not enforce belief In these
doctrines.

sentatives of Is, 900, 600 Protestants-com-
municants In the various churches rep
resented. Still another manifestation of
this longing for unity is to be found in
the Protestant Episcopal Church in Oc-
tober, 1910 when. in recognition OF the
growing desire for the fulfillment of Our
Lords Prayer that all his disciples might
be one. the convention appointed joint
commission to bring about a conference
for the consideration Of questions touch
ing faith and order
In this connection it was gratifying to
read the plea for harmony and unity
among the Christian churches in a recent
issue of The Star, from the pen of the
distinguished rector of the Apostolic Mis-
sion House of the Roman Catholic
Church. We feel that the first step to-
ward Christian unity is to bring together
the various branches of the Protestant
church. to break down the artificial and
unnecessary barriers that divide them
and to unite them ultimately into one
great Christian organism, but our ulti-
mate aim is that all Christian churches.
Roman and Greek and Protestant, should
be united under the banner of our Lord
Jesus Christ for the conversion of the
world
Father Doyle says: "The Catholic
Church is ardently DESTROYS of bringing
about the reign of Christian unity, and
up to date eighteen commissions that
have been appointed by as many COM
get together in a great world conference
in the early future" This is a reference
to the conference which the Protestant
Episcopal Church is endeavoring to bring
about. / may point out that the Roman
Catholic Church is not represented among
these eighteen commissions that have al
ready been appointed. May we not hope
that Father Doyles great influence will
be exercised to bring about the appoint
ment of a commission to represent his
church in this coming conference?
Obstacles to Unity.
There are certain obstacles to Christian
unity which we must honestly face and
do all in our power to remove in order
to bring about the greatly desired com
summation. Among these I may mention
the opinion held by strong party In
the Protestant Episcopal Church that
Episcopal ordination is essential to the
validity of any Christian ministry. This
stands as q serious bar in the way OF
unity. Yet 1t is not doctrine OF the
Episcopal Church. The Anglican Church
in all its branches has ever held to the
importance Of the historic Episcopate. but
it has never undertaken. to pronounce IN
valid the ministry of those VINO nave Deen
otherwise ordained.
Another obstacle which may be men-
toned is doctrine held by a large por-
ton of the Baptist Church. The alleged
inefficacy of infant baptism and OF an
baptism except by immersion. and the
enforcement of close communion resulting
from this, plainly stands as q bar in the
way Of Christian unity
May I venture to point out, also, some
serious obstacles to Christian unity found
in the Roman Catholic Church? This

Why Washington Was Selected.


Why Washington Was Selected.
Last year the International Bible Stu
dents Association held a ten-day general
convention at Mountain Lake Park cha
tauaua and had an average attendance of
nearly 5000. So many of the western
delegates expressed regrets that their
railroad transportation did not include
visit to the nations capital city that it
was decided to satisfy their desire this
year Those having charge of entertain
ing state that it is difficult to estimate
just how large the crowd may be this
year as they are informed that in many
cases whole families are to accompany
the delegates, many, of course, especially
to visit the public buildings and historic
points of interest of the city.
The International Bible Students AS
sociation is SO called, it is declared. be-
cause it is made up of Bible students of
various countries, who pursue an indie
pendent or non-sectarian line Of Bible
study. They take up each individual doc
trine or subject as topic and accept the
scripture teaching in its entirety as their
creed. They refuse to indorse or become
party to any UNCONVENTIONAL propa-
ganda and any restraint upon individual
Bible study or Interpretation.

HOLD MEETING TO DISCUSS
POOR MAIL SERVICE

A decent mail service for Gree
ley from Denver is one of the pos
sibiilties that developed at the
meeting of the Commercial club di-
rectofs held last night in the club
rooms. The subject of an early
morning mail from Denver was the
principal consideration at the gath
erlng, which was attended by Re-
celNer Smith, Traffic Manager Nc
Vean, Purchasing Agent Terry of
the Denver-Laramie road, and rep
resehtatives of the Denver newspap-
ers The net result of the discus
sion was promise from Mr.. Smith
that he would investigate the mat
ter OF an early train, and would let
the Commercial club know within a
week what might be expected from
the Laramie road.
Inc government already has been
appealed to for better mail service
out of Denver, and favorable action
was expected. Promises We're made
by the Union Pacific road nearly a
year ago, but they have not been
kept. The service became so poor

morning train, which gets to Gree
ley on time. Thus the papers hand
led by carrier boys are distributed,
read and thrown away, as a rule,
by the time the Union Pacific train
lumbers in with the mail.
The plan is to secure. if possible,
a mail contract for the Denver
Laramie to carry mail from Denver
in the morning. The Denver pap
ers will be glad of quick service to
northern Colorado and will give
what encouragement they may. The
Denver-Laramie will put on an extra
early morning train if the shippers
OF Greeley and towns to the south
will lend encouragement in the
way of additional business. 1t ap-
pears from last nights meeting that
now is the time for Greeley to wake

MANY S|LOS
BEING BUILT
BY FARMERS
Reports Show That Weld County Is
Coming to the Front In the
Dairy Industry

The Weld county farmers are
taking up dairying seriously is DEM
onstrated by report of the silos
built in the county recently under
the direction OF w. A. Barr, field
expert on dairying at the Agricul-
tural college, who is also the govern
ment man in this work A large
number OF silos have been con-
structed in the state. and fifteen of
these are in Weld county.
Interesting statistics accompany
the report. The feed conserved is
shown to cost the farmers from
$1.54 to 1851 per ton. The average
cost Is $40 per ton.
The interest in dairying in the
county throughout the past year has
resulted in decided impetus to the
business. The state is unable TO
supply itself with milk and butter
and the records show that the dairy
ing communities are the wealthiest
and most independent, in addition
to producing the best crops. Those
who have gone into the dairy busi-
ness scientifically have made good.
