ADVENTISTS AVERAGE
$7.52 FOR MISSIONS
Work Being Carried on in Sixty
eight Mont Christian Countries
Says Pastor Knox.

That the Seventh-day Adventists
throughout the world gave on an aver
age OF 7.52 per capita to missions last
year. and that they are carrying on
work in sixty-eight nOn-Christian coun-
tries. was the assertion by Pastor W. T.
Knox, treasurer of the General Confer
ence of Seventh-day Adventists, last
night at their church on the corner of
Twelfth and NJ streets northwest
Pastor Knox was asked by the presi-
dent of the Washington Society of Sew
enth-day Adventist Young People, E. r.
AIbertsworth, of this city. to address the
young people on missions. Some OF the
young people present are under appoint
ment as missionaries to foreign lands.
and will sail for their respective fields
next spring, on the completion of their
missionary course at the Adventist Semi
nary at Takoma Park. Pastor Knox
said. in part: e
I'VE do not forget the young people
who are sent out from America to give
the gospel in heather lands. Last year
our denomination gave more than $780,
900 for foreign mission work, or an aver
age of H.52 per capita We have more
than COO missionaries in the field giving
the pure gospel, and aiding their efforts
are 900 native helpers. Our publications
are in eighty-four different languages,
with thousands Of colporteurs to dis
tribute them T.
Pastor Knox also mentioned that at
the European meeting OF Seventh-Day
Adveutists held in Germany, in 1872,
which meeting he attended, nearly all the
nations under the sun sent representa-
tives from companies and churches OF
believers.

sponsibie for the action of all its indi-
vidual members
The effect of the sin was the defeat OF
the nation. A company of Its warriors
proceeded against a small city Of few
men. but the fear and the dread Of Israel
which Lad been upon them had vanished,
and they answered In courage and
strength; and the fear which they lost
took possession of Israel This il graph
icaliy declared in the words, the hearts
Of the people melted and became as
water"
The news of the defeat filled Joshua
with surprise and CONSERVATION, and he
spent the day until evening, in company
with the elders, upon his face before the
ark Of the Lord Then he poured out his
soul in complaint, and in that complaint
the same master passion Is detected as
that which operated so constantly in the
case Of his predecessor, Moses. The last
word of his cry was, What wilt Thou
do for Thy great manner
He was Immediately answered by the
voice Of Jehovah In terms Of rebuke, gen
tie and strong. which nevertheless ex-
onerated him from blame. Get thee up;
wherefore art thou thus fallen upon thy
face? Israel hath sinned." Thus while
the whole story reveals the responsible
ity of the Individual in the case Of Achan;
veals His discrimination In the case of
individuals. He was then commanded
what to do. and the impressive ceremony
Of Judgment and cleansing followed
The Teaching.
In the study Of this lesson there Is an
element which we are in danger OF over
looking. The fact that the sin OF one
man was thus discovered and dealt with.
is striking testimony to the high level
Of the national life at the moment. It Is
an exactly similar case to that Of the
early church. in which the lie Of Ana
MAS and Sapphire was Immediately
judged. The general tone was such that
fraud could not live in It God was at
this time in such close relationship with
His people. that IL was possible to detect
and destroy evil In the process OF the
years this condition passed.
A lesson Of immediate and constant
application Is that disobedience to the
plain commands Of God ever breaks the
connection between Him and His people.
As he spoke to Joshua of the sin which
Israel had committed He said. There
fore the children Of Israel cannot stand
before their enemies. they turn their
backs before their enemies. because they
are become accursed:SI viii not be with
you any more. except We destroy the devot-
ed thing from among you" When that
connection Is broken. defeat inevitably
follows In carrying out the Divine pur-
poses and the result OF such defeat Is
that fear takes possession OF the souls
Of those who should be strong and Of a
good courage.
Moreover. the story OF Achan shows
that there can be no restoration Of fell
except upon the basis Of the res
olrte putting away Of that which has

broken in upon that fellowship.
In thinking of the sin OF Achan In its
individual aspect, the matter to be spe-
ciaIly noticed Is that there was no con-
fession on his part until the circle of the
Divine investigation had closed around
him. He only confessed when there was
no escape.
The Golden Text.
This Is an old text very constantly
quoted. and it is well that we should re-
mind ourselves of the occasion upon
which 1t was used; and consequently, of
its first Intention and value The words
occur in the charge which Noses gave To
the two and a half tribes: that IL they
were permitted to settle on the east OF
Jordan. they should help their brethren
IN the warfare necessary to their Dos
session Of the land. He charged them
that IL they failed. their sin would md
them out
The use Of this text in connection with
our lesson Is warranted application OF
the principle involved. The sin referred
to Is a sin against God, which results in
injury to neighbor. 1t is the sin of fall
ing TO help. and consequently, of course,
the sin Of indulging In any selfish propen-
sity which results in the defeat Of those
with whom we are associated.
