NOTES FROM THE

1t is complained that the missionary
assessments are heavy, are you aware
that the combined annual assessment
for home. and foreign missions aver
ages only twenty-six cents a member
One postage stamp month from each
member, with an extra stamp thrown
in for Christmas, would pay the as
sessment in full. OF this amount
twenty cents is for foreign work and
six cents for correctional work at
home. Just twenty cents apiece to
save the world, and six cents for the
salvation of our own land!

Failure to meet the assessment
means failure all along the line. 1t
means failing interest on the part Of
the church. 1t means failure to meet
God-gtven opportunities abroad. 1t
means disloyalty to Christ and indif-
ference to our fellow man. 1t cannot
be justified or excused on any ground
whatever. Crops may fail, business
may be depressed, financial panics
may come; but under no conceivable

our people plead inability to give on
