go ye, therefore, and teach all ma
tions, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Soa, ard
of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them
10 observe all things whatsoever |

With you always, even unto the ends
Of the world. Amen
After announcing his text ne said
substantially as follows: There IS
plenty Of room for missionary work
in cur own church. Let the children
;.,il.-they want to do so. Jesus said,
"S 'ffcr little children to come u: to
me for Of such is the kingdom Of
heaven" Sometimes God saves an
old sinner, but not often. go ye
therefore, and teach all nations.
etc" is from ultimate authority.
These words come from Jesus Christ!
He is clothed with authority Of the
God head. 1t is the order of the cap
tain of our salvation by the author
ity that is in Him, He delivered the
message of the hour, This @ie::
commission Jesus Christ has given
unto His church-not to few mems
r,nscicnces. We must carry his Sns-
Lol to all epis Of the world 80 the
whole world shall know Jesus.
Nc do not for moment think
Of controversy or debate if lie is
he great leader. Then our oD?.ga-
lion is obedience. The King has
spoken. Our King can do no wrong
and cannot err.
Missions is the original thought
o. COD. In the great heart OF Go i
IN re laid the scheme for redemp-
ton concerning all generations. H.
ali centuries and in all parts OF The
universe. There is an inspiration n
the work today 1t has not been
loru since missions made no appeal |
IL mems conscicnces or pockctoook.
\ rew men and women did care, bat
now it is not confined to weSfe:nI
borders or western Europe, bGi
.rL..re ever the sun shows its face.
II was in the Baltimore Mission:
i, Trinity eli 1rch that the Woman's
Missionary society WAS organized and
out of il has grown the Woman,
missionary society Of this church.
Tn. woman who founded it Is IN the
audience. This work of tie women
not only reaches the shores yonder,
hut al the banks of the river OF life
in our own land. The flood of m
migration has, brought TO our shores
our obligation. With these facts be"
fore you you can feel the challenge
n tic word missionary.
1t is your Christian obligation to-
bring to others the gospel. 1t comes
with your knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Tell the story unto the ends or the
earth. There are some today who
laugh when you mention missions.
Read the second Psalm and fiEd out
what God has said in regard to mis-
s;ons-it cannot fail-then you viii
know that Jesus is the Lord to the
glory Of God the Father.
There will be services in the church
at 7:45 every evening this week en-
cept Saturday. All are asked to take
their "blue book" so they can have a
mart in the song service.
The Woman'S Missionary society
will hold prayer meetings every af-
ternoon ut 3 o'clock. They invite all
women in the church, also strangers
