WEEKLY SUNDAY
SCHOOL TALKS

- 60 80 -
Next Sundays lesson is about Jesus
sending out Missionaries The pur-
pose is to show how Jesus chose from
his many disciples seventy for special
cvangel.stic work How He instructed
them for their mission and how they
reported to Him that their work had
been successful beyond their expecta-
ton.
An illustration touching on the life
work William Carey is so fitting to
our present day needs from a mission
airy standpoint that | am giving that
for our readers this week William
Carey said 1--WE must do something
Although William Carey, the pioneer
of the modern Missionary movement.
was an obscure cobbler his was no
narrow vision. His sympathy went
out to the whole world. He thought
of it, yearned for it, and preached
about it. But no matter how cnthus-
iastically he preached, neither his fell
low ministers nor his little congrega-
tons would do the things he urged
Then CAME his great opportunity,
on the last day of May 1872, Carey
preached the great historic sermon
that has proved such blessing for
all heather lands. He spoke at Not
ingham England, and chose as the
text "Lcngthen Thy Cords and siren
CITIZEN thy stakes, for thou shalt break
forth on the right hand and on the
clft and thy seed shall inherit the
gentiles and make the desolatc cities
to be inhabited" In his sermon he
used two ringing phrases; Expec,
Great Things from God" and AT.
tempt Great Things for God"
II all the people had lifted up their
voices and wept, says Dr. Ryland, re-
ferring to the sermon, II should not
have wondered at the effect, so clearly
did Mr.. Carey prove how criminal is
our supincss in the cause of God But
the people did not weep, they did moi
even wait they arose to leave as usual
That was too much for the preacher
stepping down from the pulpit he
caught hold of the hand of the Apos-
tie of Missions, Andrew Fuller and
wrung it in an agony of distress He
cried, "Are we not going to do some
thing? O, Fuller call them back, cal
them back; we dare not separate with
out doing anything
In response to his passionate en-.
| treaty. Fuller called the people back
and the great result of it was that they
formed the first Missionary society
and Carey became the first missionary
OF it.
Let him that hcareth, do!

Coal Operators
to Balk PrOiteers
in Present Situation

Chicago, May 24.-Coif operators
are determined on a policy that shall
prevent speculation in coal during
the present miners wage controversy,
according to resolution adopted to-
day by the National Coal Associa-
ton.
The resolution declared that the
membership of the National Coal AS
ISOLATION as well as all other coal
producers, wholesalers, and retailers
throughout the country arc hereby
urged:
To demand of every purchaser of
their coal that such billing be given
as will guarantee the movement of
coal so sold dire rtly through to an
actual coal consumer or to a dealer
for retail distribution.
That every order taken shall state
that the coal bought is for direct
application to a consumer or retail
dealer and that such billing will be
provided and that the coal when
shipped will not be resold or recon
signed IN speculative transactions"
Referring to the industrial situa-
ton in the coal industry, j. q. Brad
ley. president Of the Association
said:
The National Coal Association
has nothing to do with the settle
ment of a strike, with the making of
district contract, with the relation
ship between the employer and the
employe, but in time like this. when
we see the forces Of predatory ag-
gression organized to create a mono
poly of coal mine labor in this coun-
try SO that they can control and shut
down our industries, cut off fuel from
the sick and have their way, the time
has come to raise a voice in protest
against the special privilege which
enables them to so as far as they
have gone.
THAT special privilege is the i'm
munity to the man who yields the
brickbat. the man who throws the
bomb, the man who uses the pistol,
and I warn United Mine Workers and
any other labor organization in this
country that this is not the path to
success"
