CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
Beginning July 27, 1918.

Topic Missionary essentials at horne
and Abroad Information, Acts Nv,
1918 Edited by Rev. Sherman II. Doyle,
d. D.
The Christian church was facing a
serious crisis at this period of its his
tory A question had arisen in the
church at Antioch as to the necessity
of gentiles observing the rites of the
Mosaic law After no small diSsen.
sion and disputatiou" RAUL and Barna
has, who opposed the Judaizing of gen
tiles, with others. were Sent to jerussi
lem to lay the question before the
church.
This was the first council of the
Christian church II was settled in fa
vor of the followers Of Paul and Bar
nabas. and the conclusion was reached
upon the basis of the facts presented
by the great missionaries concerning
the blessing Of God upon their labors.
After Peter had spoken ''all the multi
tude kept silence and gave audience tc
Barnabas and Paul. declaring what
miracles and wonders God had wrought
among the Gentiles by them"
Thus missionary information saved
the church in the midst of a great cri
sis, and 1t has done so more than once
since VITO, then. can doubt its value
and Importance?
Missionary Information has the ap
probation of the Scriptures The top
ical reference gives us one example,
but there are others After their first
great missionary journey Paul and
Barnabas returned to Antioch, whence
they had started And when they
were come and had gathered the
church together they rehearsed all that
God had done with them and how He
had opened the door of faith to the
Gentiles." Such a rehearsal could not
but infuse the church with new zeal
and enthusiasm in the cause of mis-.
sions.
The same is true today. The church
to be kept interested In missions must
have information upon the subject.
For this reason the missionaries report
to the churches through their various
boards of home and foreign missions.
Books are written upon the subject of
missions, and periodicals in the inter
ests of missions are published.
Missionary information destroys In
difference to missionary work. Igno-
rance Is the supreme cause of lack of
interest in the great work of saving
the world. Many speak contemptu-
ously of missions because they do not
know the facts.
This is inexcusable today. Informa-
ton can be easily obtained. 1t can be
found In all religious papers and many
secular ones. There are Intensely in
teresting missionary books and biogra-
phies everywhere. Sermons are preach
ed upon the subjects, and returned
missionaries can be heard at some
time In almost every community. If
our interest in missions is tagging the
best way to renew it Is through In.

Let me be Iittie SInder,
Let me be a little binder
To the faults of those about me,
Let me praise a little more;
Let me be. when am weary,
Just little bit more eheery,
Let me serve little better
Those that am striving fer.
Let me be a little Drawer
when temptation bids me wayer,
Let me strive little harder
To be ali that should be;
Let me be little meeker
With the brother that IS weaker,
Let me think more Of my neighbor
And little less Of me.
Let me be a little sweeter,
Make my life a bit eSmpIeter,
BY doing what should do
Every minute Of the day.
Let me toll, without complaining,
Not a humble task iisdainiDg.
Let me face the summons calmly

Dear NJ. B. Friends:
We frequently see a brief poem or bit OF
comprehensive prose with theltitle: "My
Creed" The thought suggested is always
a helpful one; always hopefalsone. Not
so many years ago the word creed" stood
principally for the embodiment OF the
doctrines of each denomination or church.
T., For the most part these ereeds were in
elastic and many OF them difficult to COM
prehend. These later creeds have origi-
mated from the modern conception of
the 'brotherhood OF man.. The heaven
of the gospel Of goodwill is working
still. History reveals the inconsistencies
of past generations. Our foreiathers,
seeking a new country in which to wor-
ship God according to the dictates OF
their eonsciences, cd not hesitate to per-
secute those who held a different creed.
Let the creeds of good-feIlowship multi
ply. They are founded on that charity
which is greatest OF all.
