MEN AND MISSIONS.

This is distinctly the age of missions The
carrying of the gospel to those without II has
never burdened the hearts OF the people as it is
doing today. The Christian church has for
many decades earnestly preached the doctrine of
worldwide missions, but the hearts of men have
never been so kindled with interest of this kind
as In the last few years. The Laymen's Mis-
sionary Movement has caught vision and the
men of America taking hold of this problem.
The splendid missionary campaign, which
opened here yesterday indicates the force of the
organized movement now at work for the ex-
tension of Christs kingdom The scene pre-
sented at the Laymens Missionary dinner last
night was inspiring one, and the utterances
Of Mr.. J. Campbell White and others were cheer
ing to those whose hearts are In this work.
Great and growing emphasis is being placed on
missions. We are glad to that the business
men of Richmond are taking a share a very
large share. in this great movement

ably edited ever since It established. and has

was launched the of Journalism 1t was
predicted that 1t would not live six months,

know about the staying qualities of the men
