One Of the greatest victories
of the Allies is the capture of
Erzeru m by the Russians. Err
erum is the gateway to Asia. 1t
is the political center of the Ar.
menian people. 1t will be a
great relief for the Armeniaus
to be freed from Turkish rule
and the military advantage of
the victory is very great as it
enables the British to cooperate
with the Russians and that will
settle Turkeys harsh in that
quarter.

The moment we set sail ro
nance leaves our ship aud set
ties on every sail on the horizon"
Perhaps there is no experience
more univeral to the human race
that the enchantment of dis.
tance, whether it be of time or
place.
The good days are the old days
or else in the distant future.
Rarely can one be found to
say, These are good days; the
work that am now doing is
ideal. and deserves the best that
is in me; that which is at hand
commands my Chief interest"
Now it seems to us and has
for a long time seemed so, that
in no realm of endeavor is. this
fascination of the distance so
strong as in that highest and
noblest of all realms of activity,
the religious.
A dear friend of the EDITORS
was serving a good charge in his
native State, Mississippi, but he
needs must give up home and
friends, leave the black belt OF
Mississippi and go to Africa to

And then as we come down tc
| South Carolina we find the
foreign missi nary spirit very
much alive and ever ready tc
kindle into a flame Of enthusias su
and zeal (as it should be), bu,
our own industrial home crying
for food and raiment, our or
phanage children improperly
nourished and apparently none
cares.
There are cases in this county
crying to heaven for succor, bu
they are too near to be heard O,
seen.
Our home missions, such a,
they are, are more interested il
Alaska, the far west, in Honolu
la and the Philippines.
Oh, that God would take pit,
on our own needy cases, an,
move them off to the horizon
Then we would build homes fo
the homeless; then we woul,
