Uses of the Bible.
The Bible is the great power in the
mission work. as it is in all the work OF
the church.
We are told that during the time OF
fierce persecution in Madagascar the ma
tive converts divided their Bibles fol
safer keeping. and some OF them buried
the Book, and dug it up occasionally t
read It."
How different the feeling Of these ma
lures to the mu1titudes around us VINO
have Bibles on every hand, Yet VINO
never read them. Yet the estimate these
natives placed upon the Book was not
different from that held by the wise and
great among men.
Sir Walter Scott gave us these lines te
express his sense of the importance at
tacf1ed to the reading of Gods word:
The mystery of mysteries:
Happiest they OF human race
TO whom their God has given grace
TO read. to fear. to hope, to pray.
To lift the latch. TO force the way;
And better had they ne'er been born
That read to doubt, or read TO sccrn."

ton to % Evangelism. (2) Medical Mis-

EVANGELISM medical missions and mis-

work. And this is the work in which
every Christian Endeavorer can do i'm
portant service.
All of us cannot be evangelists. or med
ical missionaries. or teachers in mission
schools, but every one can help. in the
Bible work of missions. We can easily,
five try, aid in placing the Bible in the
reach of others. Every copy Of the Bible

a missionary. We can speak its mes
sage of love and hope to the immigrant
at our doors
Chief Problem.
There is great opportunity for Bible
work in our midst. we'll as in heather
lands. The church's chief problem is in
dealing with the foreign immigrants. A
million come to our shores every year
and most of them remain. They come
largely from lands that are farthest re-
moved from ours in civilization and re-
Hgion.
1t is stated that lin proportion to their
numbers. the foreigners in the United
States furnish two and a half times as
many criminals as the natives. Hitter
acy among the foreigners Is three times
as great as among the native whites and
pauperism also Is three times as prev
alent. Europe alone could send us 5000, :
w immigrants every year indefinitely
while its own population still increased. -

Then we have the Indians, the freed
men. the mountaineers, the lumbermen
and miners and sailors.
To do our part for our whole home

is called upon to do his or her utmost in
spreading the glorious gospel Of the
blessed God
Religion is what will save them and
save our country. They must shave the
Bible and it must be taught to them.
We know that God demands of His
followers that they plant this seed. We
