comparison with our ability and small
in comparison with the needs OF the

~ christian in fact as well as in the
Dry. In this way we are to counterfeit
the vicious ideals of Germany and her
allies in the world war. Our youth
must be trained on proper lines as to
religion and ethics. This can be done
best in our UNCONVENTIONAL schools"
Some of the educational Institutions
fOtsered by the Home Mission Board
are the forty mountain schools. sery-
ing 5000. 900 residents OF the South
living in mountainous territory where
public high schools are lacking. Fully
$40, 900 900 could be used t. advantage
In strengthening the equipment and
teaching force Of these schools. it is
estimated, so great is the need.
Another demand of the home field
is the 1000 church organizations in

the erection of suitable houses of o

problem created by the presence in
the South of 10 600, 900 negroes. Speak.

missionary and evangelistic work and
likewise in the development of their
religious life on sane and helpful lines.
We need a large company of the best,
wisest and strongest negro ev~angelistS
and teachers who shall help us to lift
up their race and make them worthy

That work among the foreigners in
the homeland offers the best and most
economical opportunity for missionary
labors amor them anywhere, is the
declaration of the Home Mission lead
crs. These foreigners are in the
fields. mines and factories and are a
vita! part of our civilization. This
work among the foreigners not only
gives them the christian religion, but
makes them ~cOntented, n bet

out.
Great hopes for the future of the
