also in the same field for some time,
said that the church had looked for
ward to his return with great interest
lat it was deeply interested in his
work and the church was proud to
hsve one of it's former members n
gagged in this worthy service. He an
nounced the reception held Tuesday
night in the honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
Justice and stated that it was given by
the ladies. of the church, all the menu
.bers of which were invited.
Mr.. Justice in a very interesting way
told of his call to the ministry, which
he decided to follow after having pre-
pared himself for the profession of
teaching. He decided that his pre-
paration would not be useless in CON
nection with the ministry and that
soon after going to Buenos Ayres, Ar
gentine Republic, some of the people
who became much interested in his
work prevailed upon him to open a
mission of which they made him the
leader, since which time he has been
training young men Tor the ministry.
This work was undertaken in 8
with eight young men constituting the
membership.
Mr.. Justice said that he had visited
thirteen OF the fourteen provinces OF
the Republic and had seen unlimited
possibilities for missionary work. He
said that while the best of the races
were settling North America the weak
er and inquirer ones were settling that
country and although great progress
had been made in recent years, great
work remains to be done. He said that
the mission work was naturally slow
for the reason that there were only
sixteen missionaries in the Republic
He said that there was a portion OF the
population highly interested in the
Christian work and wished the mis-
sionaries success. As an evidence OF
the appreciation of what he had done,
a farewell service was arranged by
the six churches of the city and dele
cations from the churches were at the
depot to bid him and Mrs. Justice fare
well as they left for North America.
The congregation showed much in
terest in the talk of Mr.. Justice, which
dealt for the greater part with his
work in the foreign field.
