Mission Study Rally.

The Lords work is being carried on
in many ways. Various means are en-
ployed and various systems are adopted
for the carrying on OF His work, but
there is one way which is altogether
different from any other, and one which
seems to be very efficient in accomplish
ing things for God and His Kingdom.
This way is through Mission Study
Glasses, which study the various desti-
tut;ons Of the worlds field. Such a
work and study was organized in Hail.
Moody Institute some eight weeks ago
among the many loyal and Christ-loving
students. When a private canvass was
made among the student body there
was found so great an eagerness to
learn of the conditions. needs and de-
mands Of Gods footstool" that there
were five classes needed to be organized.
The five classes. with membership of
ten each, were organized and the books
selected and ordered. Each class was
given the privilege of choosing their
book for study. The books chosen were:
THE Call of the World" "Emer-
gency in China, Immigrant Forces,f p,
Ann of Ava" and Mexico To-day, f"
all Of which are exceedingly rich in as
founding facts and are brimful OF trite
expressions and beautiful language.
The classes began their study and
continued it with much interest and
animation for eight weeks and finished
their books, and then we prepared for
our rally, which we gave on Thursday
night, Jan. %, 1914.
Each lass prepared its part Of the pro-
gram and used its own talent in the
thereof. They gave illus
trative work of the teachings OF their
book and presented very aptly the work
at hand. The program was two hours
in length and as follows:
