After many weeks investigations
and countless conferences with the
missionary officials of other denomina-
tons Charles Tebbetts. secretary of
the Foreign Mission Board of the
Friends Five Years Meeting announces
that a general plan for foreign mis-
sion work has been worked out.
In speaking Of the plans in an art
icle in the American Friend, Mr.. Teb-
belts writes as follows:
1t provides for two year-periods,-
one eliminating at Easter for Foreign
Missions, and one at Thanksgiving for
Home Missions. The one entitled
The New Era in Missions" that is
now on excels in interest, think.
even the Livingstone campaign of last
year 1t is designed to run through
three months through every depart
ment of the church, the browning serv-
ice being the Easter Sunday School
program entitled The Triumph of
Christ This is the most interesting
program l have ever seen. 1t is the
most interesting program | have ever
seen. 1t is now too late to get in all
the department preparatory work be-
fore Easter. but if undertaken at once
enough can be done to secure a most
| interesting Easter program, and the
rest of the work can be completed
! later
The plan provides for two sermons,
four prayer meeting services of the
church. and four for the young peo-
pies meetings. and six exercises for
Bible Schools occupying ten or fifteen
minutes each. These were intended to
run through the three months, but can
be concentrated in a shorter period
if desired. Complete plans for each of
these services are provided. with many
of the exercises given in full
There should be sufficient of these
so that all who sing can take part in
the songs and hymns. They are not
designed for a few to do it all. but for
the entire school to take part in the
singing and responsive readings, with
special recitati for the younger pu
pills. For the necessary information
for the sermons and department exer-
cises two books should be provided

the history of the church since the
Apostolic age. Were this done

every member of the group can have
access to a copy for preparation.

lures can be used without more time
and effort than any congregation can
easily give. There is nothing difficult
about it.
