The chief blessing of foreign mis-
sions is the knowledge Of the Inf.
mite Father which they bring, taking
the place OF demons and insensate
images and foul rites.-Amos X.
Wells.
The kingdom grows one soul at a
time.
The false lights OF other religions
darken the world. Christ alone can
bring light.
In Gods day there is no sunset.
When the Sun of Righteousness
rises He never goes down. Light
forever and increasing follows His
dawn. Christs victories over dark
ness are eternal When He drives
1t away 1t can never return. The
missionary cause is steady ad-
vance; II never loses ground. Thus
the daybreak is spreading, and soon
the perfect day will come, when
the light OF Christ will envelop the
world.
Ger the gloomy hills OF darkness,
Cheered by no celestial ray,
Sun OF Righteousness, arising,
Bring the bright, the glorious day
Send to gospel
To the earth's remotest bounds.
Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness,
Grant them, Lord, the glorious
light;
And from eastern coast to western,
May the morning chase the night,
And redemption,
Freely purchased, win the day.
Fly abroad. thou mighty gospel,
Win and conquer. never cease;
May thy lasting. wide dominions
Multiply and still increase:
Sway Thy sceptre.
