reason for missions. so long as the
church continues Christian. II Christ
be what He said He is, then there is
no alternative. He alone can save the
nations and the people. All of His
followers are inescapably under the
obligation to bring the world into the
fellowship of discipleship.
Vast new methods may be neces-
sary. Changing times may change
procedures; there is nothing sacred
about method or plan. But the
one supreme obligation remains, Jesus
requires His followers to share the
good news about Himself with all the
men in the whole world who may by
any means be reached. The perma-
nent core Of Christian missions is the
command of Christ, and in the as
surance of His continued presence
and power. Only incidentally is the
missionary enterprise a civilizing and
social service and educational project;
primarily, it is the good news about
Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen
redeemer Of mankind
A Jolt From the Orient.
One of the dear delusions of the
Western world, cherished for CEN
turies, is that wisdom and efficiency
are purely Occidental characteristics.
We have looked down upon the
Orient. The awakening has been un-
pleasant. as we have seen Japan out
sell and outmaneuver the Western
nations in all marts of trade, and
have beheld the ghastly efficiency of
her armed forces in the rape of China.
Napoleon is reported to have said:
There sleeps China. God pity us if
she awakes. Let her sleep| But the
Easts sleep is over; and a whole new
set of problems have been created for
the world
AS a renascent Orient confronts
an alarmed Occident, We have one
ground of reinsurance that it's atti-
tude will not be of i'll will. That is
the knowledge of the hundred years
OF service by Christianity to both Asia
and Africa. These continents are
dotted with schools and hospitals and
orphanges and leper asylums built in
a spirit of brotherly helpfulness by
the churches of the West. Tens of
thousands of persons have been con-
verted to Christianity. many of whom.
like Chang kai-Shek, are now in
positions of leadership.
This Christian leaven is an anti
dote, at least in part. for all the
explorations and expressions and
selfish imperialism of Western nations
in the Orient 1t is evidence that the
people of Christian lands have had
good will toward all races. In the
New World neighborhood the cross
has stood for brotherhood
In the light of the vastness of our
unified world today, the smallness of
the area to which Jesus confined His
personal ministry seems incredible.
Tyre, Sidon. Phoenicia and the De-
capolis marked the extreme borders
of His travels. Before these words
are read I will again have traversd
them all by automobile, as matter
of only a few hours journey. One
needs to go to the Holy Land to
realize how little it really is Yet
within its borders today RACES bloody
racial and religious and nationalistic
strife that sorely needs the healing
touch of the Nazarene.

Large blocs of educated Indians have
weighed Christianity and rejected it.
Islam, which in many respects is
disintegratlng, is at the same time
witnessing a portentous puritan re-
vival of its faith in Arabia, the home
land of the prophet.
Modern progress in many Eastern
nations has made the continuance of
missionary schools and medical work
difficult or unnecessary. Westernized
Oriental governments are providing
for their own. medical and educational
needs.
Work amongst the old Oriental
churches is being given up by many
missions, in favor of fresh effort to
evangelize MohammedanS and paganS
All of these altered conditions and
others even graver, which touch the
nature and form of the missionary
message call for a new, brave, OPEN
minded conference of the churches to
face fully the facts of this new day
Of missionary activity. The rank and
file of Christians should be freely ad-
mitted to an open discussion of the
real problems which today confront
missions. More than the cause needs
money, at the moment it needs under
standing and great leadership The
missionary message to the churches
just now is not the Oliver Twist cry
of "More!"
Steady Feet and Steady Hands.
Light-minded sentimentalists may
readily grow panicky in the present
situation, of war and revolutions and
of intolerant nationalism. Japan's
mad outburst of paganism. the chok-
ing of Ethiopias missions by 1taly's
brutal imperialism, the repreSsive
measures in newly awakened Iran are
all a tremendous setback to the Chris
tan concern for the service of other
races.
1t is easy to mistake the needs for
altered methods for a need for an
other message Steady heads alone
can assure steady feet. Jesus COM
manded His disciples to go into all
