Real Mission Work Heart Work.
Rev e. r Northen. speaking on
State missions, said that real mis-
sion work Is heart work, and that It
begins in the death of the soul to
sin, and is advanced as the soul grows
in grace. The missionary spirit is
that disposition of mind which finds
expression in active and persevering
effort 10 win the world to Christ.
Rev. l. II. Suddeth said that Jesus
wore a yoke OF service, that He found
delight In putting His own life under
! the burdens OF others. That in Him
self He was a medical dispensary, a
society for the relief Of the poor, a
/ training school for workers, a the
illogical seminary, a missionary So
ciety. The speaker made a strong ap-
peal for a more general interest on
the part of church members in the
cause OF missions.

Interest IN Sunday School work In
