spiritual enterprise had to be developed;
man must be interested in 1t, just as
he is interested in his life work So the
idea came to me that if the church could
successfully compete with the every day
interests of men, we might make mis-
sionary work as interesting as the max
ing of steel or iron or the selling of real
estate. or the making of any of the COM

A congregation that gets away from it's
own selfishness and reaches out to the
world soon finds it's financial problem
solving itself; for instance. a congrega-
ton may find itself with a big burden
upon it in building a new church; the
subject of missions is mentioned, and
they can't entertain a thought in re-
ga I'd to it. They have no time nor money
to give, now it can be pointed out that
many church that has stopped right
in the midst of such conditions and has
given it's generous support to mission

lens solved-through prayer and through
giving.
"Our Lord has spoken to his disciples
in the parable of the sowers," DR.. Patton
continued. He had spoken with positive
assurance that He would win the world:
And /, if be lifted up, will draw all
men to me- They couldn't understand
His optimism, although the parable is
the simplest of them all. There are three
reasons for the attitude of men on this
subject; the interests of life, the deceit
fulness of sin, and the pride of life. The
interests Of life are not always bad; they
are more frequently the natural interests;
this is why men must become interested
in the questions of the church in pro-
portion as they are concerned with their
every day life interests. Tennyson says
in his immortal poem, In Memoriam
speaking of the waste in life of mature,
and it's cruelty:
"Of so seeds, he scarcely brings but
one to life" 1t is the purpose of Chris
tianity to reverse this principle; to over
come this waste, and the way to do it
is to interest intelligent minds, for as a
man becomes interested in working for
others, he becomes spiritual and in tune
with all that is true and fine!''

In these ringing, vital words the Rev.
DR.. r. w. Patton, provincial secretary
of the province of Sewanee, expressed
the keynote of the work he is doing in
the missionary campaign he is conducting
this week in Birmingham for the par
ishes of St. Mary's and St. Andrews.

DR.. Patton perhaps more than any other

other things:
ut has been mighty problem for
many years how to interest the aver
age man in the church in the great ques-
ton of extending the Christian ideals to
the whole world, which is the key to the
future of history itself; to visualize the
needs of worldwide religion and make
him see it as 1t is. l have found in my
experience that missionary sermons on
the Sabbath day do not and cannot have
the desired effect; the congregation has
six days in which to forget the sermon;
so l conceived the idea of a week of
missionary work in which We could get

that missionary campaign in parish

observation-disclosures. In order to accom-
