a few words of Greeting.
Greetings From Mrs. Mahon
Mrs. Mahon: "Peace to you
ALI"
Response from the Congre-
cation: "Peace to thee be null
tiplied!"
Mrs. Mahon: That is the
greeting we use in our mission
in Africa; and when those ma
tives who are saved meet each
other, and meet us, that beau
tiful salutation is spoken.
"Peace be unto you!" (Mrs.
Mahon gives the greeting in
the natives tongue); and the
response is, MAY peace be
multiplied unto you!"-just as
you give that greeting here in
this city.
When Overseer Mintern was
reading the Scripture Lesson
this morning, and came to the
words, "Jesus, seeing the null
titude, was moved with COM
passion" - oh, how I wished
that it were within my power
to bring to you word picture
of the multitudes of black peo-
pie out in Africa who need
Jesus! - then you, too, would
be moved with compassion.
Those multitudes are living in
darkness and fear, without the
knowledge of Jesus, - fear of
the witch doctor, fear of death
through some of his witch
craft. They are in constant
fear, and, of course, in sin and
in sickness.
Oh, that God would lay up
on your heart to pray for these
people! to pray for the mis-
sionaries, and for all who are
laboring in those fields! God
will surely reward you for SO
doing, - if not here, then in
eternity. We need the prayers
of all Gods dear children who
are willing to take time out
to pray, not in a vague way
but definitely, as the Holy
Spirit lays it upon your heart,
to the end that souls may be
saved. Oh, pray that the Light
may break into those dark
hearts! Pray that God will up
hold the missionaries day by
day, and that He will strength
en- them. We not only have
physical hardships there in At
RIGA, but mental and spiritual
hardships. Many times we have
bitter disappointments: peo-
pie in whom we have put faith
and trust prove unfaithful,
leave us, depart from the faith.
This morning, as I bring you
these few words of greeting I
do ask our Heavenly Father to
give you a vision of those teem-
ing multitudes who are with
out the knowledge of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and His saving
Grace, that you, too, may be
moved with compassion" and
that you will pray. May God
bless you. Amen.
OVERSEER MINTERN:
Thank you, Mrs. Mahon.
At our Wednesday Evening
Prayer Meeting, both Mrs. Ma
hon and Rev. Mahon told how
they fought going into the mis-
sion work. Mrs. Mahon relat-

In regard to Brother Llch-
tvs home: Funds must be pro-
vided to rebuild their home,
to purchase household goods,
and, quite probably. clothing
as we'll. AS soon as the cable
was received, we sent $500
from our Church funds to
those responsible for sending
the money to Africa. The loose
offering taken at this Service
will also be turned over to that
fund, as will any special offer
ings which may come as the
result of this appeal. / would
say to our radio listeners, if
you desire to have part in the
rebuilding of that home, send
in your contributions.
I also appeal to members of
other Church groups outside
of this city who may desire to
have a part in the establish
ment of this chain of missions,
and request that you write to
the Basutoland Mission Of
Zion, Illinois, - and | know
you will receive information as
to how you can have a part
and. how your money will be
used.
I may say here that our Saw
ior's words, "Pray We there
fore the Lord of the harvest
that He will send forth labor
ers into His harvest is respon-
sible for my being in the min
istry today. In fact, it was
call for workers for the mis-
sion field which first set me
thinking along that line. The
call was for workers for Chi
ma, and at that time I offered
myself for training for the
Chinese mission field.
I do praise God that the
message is going out to those
who are in darkness. But, at
the same time, l realize the
solemn warning in our Lords
parable, intimating that some
who first received the invita-
ton refused to come to the
wedding feast, and so were left
out. Then He commanded His
servants, saying, eco out into
the highways and byways and
compel them to come in, that
My House may be full"
The day for working is
drawing to a close.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20.-Two
resolutions aimed at curbing use OF
liquor will come before delegates to
the 35th national convention of the
Anti-Saloon League Of America to-
night at final sessions.
One proposal would outlaw all
liquor advertisements in newspapers,
magazines and on the radio. The
other would take a definite stand
against universal military training
unless the Army bans sale of alco-
holic beverages on and near train
ing centers.
George w. Crabbe, retiring gen.
eral superintendent, told delegates
we're not foolish enough to think
prohibition Is just around the cor
ner." He added: "But public senti-
ment is swinging more every day.
That's largely due to two things:
Women bar flies and obnoxious
liquor ads. Both have even dis
gusted a lot of vets and to top 1t off
