ITEMS OF INTEREST

The more than 1000 missionaries
scattered over the globe are coming
to be recognized as a tremendous
asset for the peace and progress OF
mankind. From their posts Of labor
radiate the only CLEANS of hope
and cheer that light up the dark
ness of the vast fighting area.
The British Student Movement an
nounces that during the first six
months Of the war twice as many
men volunteered for foreign mis-
sionary service as in the cores
ponding period last year.
Through the courtesy of the Jap
anese commissioners of the Pana-
ma-Pacific Exposition at San Fran
cisco there will be set up in the Jap

Worlds Sunday-schooi Convention
at Tokyo in October, 1916.
Said a little Japanese girl to her
heather grandmother as she came
home from Christian Sunday
school: II have to go to the temple
to pray to my god, but this God of
the Christians can be prayed to
when you are warm in bed, or most
any time. But there's one thing |
don't like: He can see you all the
time everywhere; and sometimes |
should think that would be quite
inconvenient."
A new impetus TO all forms of
missionary work is expected to be
the result of the National Missionary
Campaign of 1915 and 1916, which is
being organized by the Interde-
nominational Laymen's Missionary
Movement. The most important fea-
ture of the campaign will be series
of seventy-five great conventions to
be held in cities in all parts of the
United States from October next to
April, 1916, and the campaign will
eliminate in National Missionary
Congress in Washington, d. c., April
