MISSIONS
By Rev. Samuel C. sutcIinc

And tho angel said unto them Fear not, for, behold. l bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the peo- pie. For unto you is born this day in the City of David. Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."-S. Luke ?: 10,11.
 In this first angelic message announcing to the shepherds the birth of our Saviour, the outstanding note is that it is a message of joy, which shall be to all people,
 It has always been. and still is, the central privilege and duty of the church to carry this simple message to the utter most parts of the earth wher- ever Gods children live.
 Beginning with the earliest lays the Church has realized it's missionary commission. and, as it sent out St. Paul and St. Barnabas, has continuously sent forth in the name of Christ, men and women, consecrated to preach and to teach these 'tidings of great joy
 The Church has furthermore interpreted it's missionary com mission rightly as service to the whole man, and has therefore sent together preachers, teach CTS, doctors, and nurses, and erected churches, schools and hospitals, in order that the full ministry of Christ should go with the good news of His coming. And so Christian mis- sions today are educating the mind, healing the body, and saving the souls of men.
 The record of the achieve ments of the church's mission aries is among the most glor- ious and heroic in the annals of history, It may be well for us to remember in this great country of ours that much that we dearly cherish as of the fundamental principles upon which our government is found ed, was taught to our ancestors by missionary ambassadors of Christ many centuries ago.
 The missionary spirit is the Christmas spirit carried into all countries and to all peoples, fulfilling Christ's own commani, freely ye have received, freely give"
