bytery spoke of the coordination of all
the forces of the church. He believed
an there being meeting at least once
a month of all those connected with
the organization that plans may be
made to prevent the work from
going in a haphazard way.
Foreign Missions.
Rev. 5. n. Wilson of Reedsburg,
chairman of the foreign mission COM
mite, gave report of the work being
done. He said in part, "No question
looms up larger before the church to-
day than that of foreign missions. It
once called forth the sneer of the
secular journalist and so TO speak was
considered an evidence of smartness, but
now such an eXpresSionfrOm him would
stamp him las far from up-to- date.
Indeed the church leaders are begin
ming to see the need to meet the mighty
issues of the day. Modern transpor-
tstion facilities are bringing the world
very close together and we must act in
harmony or there will be disaster on
every hand. Lantern slides on mis-
sion fields with encouraging lectures,
mans. booklets and leaflets may be
had at normal price. The educa-
tional feature should go on and the
budget plan of the church for current
expenses and benevolent needs should
beIadopted."
