MISSIONS AS Task
by Associated Pressl

Charleston, w. Va, May 1S-
Missions were declared to consti-
tute the church's principal task
by Rev. !: \ z. Curry of Mem
phis, Tenn, in his sermon here
today as retiring moderator OF
the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian church in the Unit
ed States (Southern Presbyter-
ian), at the opening of the Ono
General Assembly.
The church's efforts" he said
SHOULD not center on itself, but
on lost world. The church is
not the end, but the means. Saw
ing a lost world, establishing
Gods kingdom on earth is the
end; the church is Christ's instru
ment for accomplishing this end
The church that fails here fails
everywhere.
The leadership in missions be
longs to Jesus Christ. But where
will it lead the church to follow
Him? Into the mountains. out
on the plans, down in the sluns
of the cities. among the negroes.
Indians and foreigners and across
the seas. unto the uttermost
parts of the earth
"Ali that is needed is a consc-
Grated church that will follow his
leadership with JOY, courage and
faith"
DIR. Curry said he had thought
it appropriate to bring a message
in accord with the last Assem-
bly's expressed desire that this
assembly be IAN evangelistic and

TO present a picture Of the normal

venture" Miss Bentley added "She
has no average she has no group tie
She Is stranger to herself-some
times especially to members OF her

with her kind OF previous age.
We are tempted to think OF her as
living in spirit Of masquerade so
rapidly and completely can she as
sumo different and difficult roles Of
accomplishment
She tantalizes US by the simple
ress OF her artfulness and yet unreal.

which is the privilege OF youth She
believes with Stevenson that to have
missed the joy is TO have missed Il

and imbedded emotions which are her
hidden treasure in the mysterious dis

symptoms we call It temperament and
