LENTEN SERVICES
SUCCESSAT KG|TH'S
Plan of Dividing Speaking Be-
tween CIergymen and Lay
men Works Well.

The attendance during the first
week of the MONDAY Lenten services
conducted at Keith's Theater by
committee of the Laymen's Service
Association of the Diocese OF WASH
ington, with the cooperation OF the
Washington Federation of Churches,
has justified the committee in con-
tinuing the services along the lines
adopted this year by which the nrst
three days of each week are given TO
one speaker, generally a clergyman,
leaving Thursday and Friday for lay
speakers.
The addresses for Monday, Tuesday

dral. DR.. Howard A. Kelly of Balti'
more, will speak Thursday for the

ton of Churches will deliver an lnVo-
cation and dedication. A prominent

aries from work in the lands where
they have been honored and blest,
even when their work has been him
dered and hampered by the lack OF
proper facilities.
God has challenged the churches of
America by the marvellous blessings
that He has poured out upon the
work of their missions, yet we have
failed to read the evidence presented
by the Largest spiritual dividends on
foreign mission investments and reap
ing these on a great cumulative scale,
that calls for every Christian to
answer the Macedonian cry presented
by DIR. J. F. Love, one of the greatest
students, secretaries and statesmen
that modern missions has produced,
in his poem, mo God, No Christ, No
Hope"
Are we so dead we cannot feel
The pity God and Christ reveal
For men who in deep darkness grope
And have no God. no Christ. no hope?
Have we to whom Gods Son was given.
Fer whom the precious side was riyen Rob,
No torch for men in pagan night?
Among the missionaries in every
land, where there exists difficulties,
dangers, and threaten disaster by our
failure to respond to Gods call for
help, there exists a determination to
be true to their Lord and Master.
They need our prayers and support in
this hour of transition. Christ is
challenging our faith in the new prob
lens and asks us to carry on His work
by trying to make the world Christian
by preaching the gospel to every crea-
ture.
The world depends upon the success
of the Missionary to remove the wounds
of the sword and unite all in one
brotherhood of love in Christ Jesus.
