WORK OF NATIONAL BAPTIST
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD
Needs Of Field Workers Presented by
Secretary L. @. Jordan.

Rev. DR.. L. G.. Jordan, corresponding
secretary of the foreign mission board
Of the national Baptist convention, Is
to be congratulated upon the success
of the work in the foreign field during
his administration. He is tireless
worker and has travelled in all sections
of the country in the interest Of the
foreign mission work Of the denomina-
tions from year to year.
It is doubtful whether his equal could
be found in the denomination so far as
ambition, love for the work and ex-
perience in the many exacting details
ef missionary management are concern
q. DR.. Jordan is now making an ef-
fort to raise sufficient money to meet
the needs of the workers in the foreign
field by April 16. The churches and
Sunday schools of the denomination
throughout the jurisdiction Of the con-
vention are asked to make offerings
for missions on Easter Sunday.
In speaking Of the Importance Of
paying the missionaries their salaries
promptly DR.. Jordan says: "Of course
our work is too scattered to do what
should be done with the small amount
of money raised yearly. Think Of try
ing to push work in West Africa with
three missionaries, work in South
Africa with no more than twenty work
ers, work in Central Africa with five
workers, work in East Africa with four
workers and work in the West Indies
with seven workers.! At every point
there are debts and, at many, unf1n-
ished houses. 1t will take 0,O00 this
year to adequately put our stations in
first class shape and pay our workers.
If we can get $4,000 from our Easter
rally we can greatly relieve many Of
our pressing needs"

Weightiest King In the World.

One of the most interesting monarchs
who bask under British protectioa
is King George Tabur H., whose L -
dom-the Tonga islands-is situated In
an obscure corner of the south Pacific
ocean. King George can claim to be
a man of weight, for he turns the
scales at 30S pounds. He governs by
means Of a native parliament, the ses-
sions Of which seem to be mainly de-
termined by the amount and quantity
Of the edibles collected at the capital.
He has a high opinion of his impor-
tance, for he sent an ambassador to
