Christian Gn0fabor Dour'

Home mission work in every COM
munity includes the betterment of civic
conditions in all directions. but its
primary aim is to reach the souls of
those who are unsayed.
Everything in the line of educating
the ignorant. improving sanitary con-
ditions, purifying politics and the like
is an important aid to evangelization.
The Christian Endeavor Society is
well adapted for work in all lines of
civic Improvement.
Many of the societies are engaged in
this work. taking active and efficient
part in behalf of social and political
reforms. All this kind of work is
part of the gospel ministry.

Community Work.
In the more strictly religious work
Christian Endeavor is making itself felt
for good in every community by its
support to rescue missions-often by
starting and maintaining such mis-
sions
By extending Invitations to nom
churchgoers to attend church, by word
Of mouth and by printed matter. This
is home mission work that should be
done in every community.
By holding evangelical services in
! prisons and other public institutions
and by outdoor services of song and
prayer.
BY esta blishing and maintaining mis-
| sion Sunday schools among foreigners
and in neglected places.
BY supplying religious literature in
the homes of tsie poor, in parks and in
railway stations
! BY teaching our language to foreign
| ers who are unable to attend school
and thus winning their friendship,
| through which the opportunity for re-
| liRious instruction is gained.
| In these and similar directions is
J found the mission work to be done in
each individual community.

The Immigrant.
The appeal is urgent to the Christian
Endeavor societies, as it is to every de-
partment of church organization. If
our influence is not felt at home it will
not be felt anywhere. If it is felt at
home it will be felt everywhere.
"A million immigrants each year have
been pouring into our cities, towns and
villages. Some of thern are in your
community. What are you doing for
them?
Every Christian force is demanded to
do its utmost to greet with uplifting

Our Heritage.
God has conducted US to a. goodly
land, as He did His people of old-to
"a land Of brooks. Of water. of foun-
tains and depths that spring out of
valleys and hills; land of wheat and
barley and vines; a land flowing with
milk and honey"
Each community is part of this
great heritage. We are to honor God
in the uplift of the place where we
our country best by leading men to
the truth as 1t is made known in the
gospel.
We have greater opportunities to do
this work IN our own community than
anywhere else.
Christians must not neglect the mis-
sion work to be done in the place
where they live. If they do they will
be equally unfaithful in distant fields.
One who goes as missionary in foreign
lands must work in the community
where he resides. One may give help
to those who labor abroad. but his per-
sonal work and testimony must be for
those by whom he is surrounded

Campaign for Millions.
In the Christian Endeavor Campaign
for millions" the Endeav orer's work
will be largely in his own community.
The campaign contemplates obtain
ing during the next two years no less
than a million new members for Chris
tian Endeavor societies, and the far
more important goal of all that is In
cluded in the program is, "a million
young people brought to Christ and
into the church" This will be home

The word missions" has meant to
most people, both inside and outside
of the church, an indefinite, faraway.
unreal work of idealistic heroism and
sacrifice, for which much money and a
few specially chosen people were
necessary to Convert the heathen."
Fortunately, however. the practical
results that have been produced by
missionery work In the last half cen
tury-the political, economic and social
awakening and development of such
vast sections of the world and its peo-
pie as China, India, Japan and the
whole continent of Africa-have SO
aroused interest in missions. that there
has developed widespread educa-
tional movement on the subject, and
this wave of education. by widening
the vision as all educative processes
do, has in turn developed an lntelll-
gent appreciation and wholesome en-
thusiasm toward foreign missions.
This education and enthusiasm IN
regard to foreign missions, however,
has not reached all, even of those with
in the churches, and there are sun
many to be found who privately. II not
publicly, maintain the attitude that
was formerly SO common and so openly
anplauded-the attitude that we should
confine our efforts to our own cities
and countrysides-to our own states,
or at least, to our own countrY-untll

efforts are unappreciated and mis-
understood and sometimes unWelcome:
There is, moreover, an element OF
truth in this view, one that is as appll-
cable today as ever, and needs spe-
cial emphasis in this country at the
present time. There is no longer any
conflict in view or opinion between the
advocates of home and foreign MIS-
sious and the preSent-day idea or mis-
sions includes the whole world in its
SCOPE. with its various departments at
home and abroad all cooperating to-
ward the same end-the evangellZatlon
and the ChristianiZation of the world,
hut the romance of wonderful ana
rap pid development has SO attracted our
attention that the work of the nome
fields is not as familiar to many as
that in the foreign lands.

Our Nearest Field.

There are three great home mission
ary problems. the south, with it's ten
million co1ored people. the western
frontier, with it's vast changes of popu-
lation. and the incoming millions of
foreigners. The first two of these are
more or less distant and unreal. but
the other is a problem that lies at
our very door-that we come in contact
with every day of our lives-and a
problem of such great and increasing
Importance that upon it's solution ulti-
mately depends whether this country
shall remain Christian nation, or
shall be paganized by the ever-increas-
ing stream of immigration flowing into
it. The question is sometimes argued
on economic and political grounds in
this form: Can this country assimi-
late all of this stream of immigra-
'tion?" but the real question is whether
the Christians of this land will bring
Christ to the foreign born as fast as
they arrive in this country-or will
agnosticism, materialism and pagan
ism finally prevail here.
Prof Steiner of Chicago recently
wrote in the Epworth Herald of the
Chinaman in that city, who wonders at
the Christians who go to China to save
China. and pass him by because he is
a Chinaman. This is problem that
comes home to every individual-for
there is scarcely one anywhere in our
country now who does not come in al
most daily contact with Foreigners
foreigners who do not understand or
know Christ, or even know about Him.
This is the opportunity each OF US
has to be a missionary in a very real
way, and it is a responsibility that we
must individually meet. if the countrys
problem is to be solved.
Our own land the hattlefiel6 on
which viii be fought out the ultimate
fate of Christian morality and civiliZa-
tion. Its history is providential: its
position is strategic. God has chosen
the American people as the old worlds
schoolmasters. There is but one way
to Americanize, and that is to Chris
tianiZe. The task is ours and we can
not escape it. In things material we
are helplessly tied in the same bundle
with the immigrant. We equally need
each other; if these people. even with
all their ignorance. poverty and super
stition, are turned back, who will do
our work? The industrial cry of this
country is for more laborers: two
thirds in all our factories are foreign
ers; to shut out the immigrant is to

The order is noticeable-in Jerusalem

finally the uttermost parts of the
earth-and this o9der is in harmony
with all Christ's life and teaching.
It is important that the home field
-Jerusalem-be established as a
strong and safe home base before the
work be carried to foreign fields And
it was not until the work was estab-

A spasm of alarm crossed Yvonne's
face. DO you really believe it viii

ously.

Mrs. Brood looked at her steadily
for long time without speaking The
rebellious, sullen expression died out
of her eyes. She sighed deeply, almost
despairingly.
