are much less.
It is hoped that the regular contributions
will continue to increase until we
may soon be able to annul this resolution.
Meanwhile, we trust that individ
uals will be found in sufficient numbers
who are willing and able to make the
necessary sacrifice to provide the means
for sending those that are ready to go.
so that our missionaries on the field may
not be disheartened and the work may
not be hindered by delay.

EVANGELISTIC CONFERENCE AT
MONTREAT, N. C.
By Rev. A. B. Curry, D. D.
At the Evangelistic Conference held
at Montreat, August 12 to 15, under
the direction of the Executive Committee
of our Church every synod was rep
A tocincu CA^cpi UUC auu UIUIC Luau seventy
pastors were present. The conference
wgs opened with a sermon by Rev.
J. Ernest Thacker on "The Church, Her
Complaint and its Cure," showing that
the membership of the Church is lacking
in Christ-likeness and coming short
in the great work of the world's evangelization,
and that the cure can be found,
(1) By greater consecration on the part
of pulpit and pew, (2) By a greater
spirit of self-sacrifice, (3) and a recognlzation
of personal responsibility. This
was followed the next morning with a
splendid address on "The Scriptural
Evangelist, the Need fnr him and hla
Work." In the afternoon there were two
inspiring addresses, one by Rev. Thornton
Whaling, D.D., on "The Evangelistic
Church," and the other by Rev. J.. M.
Wells, D.D., on "The Opportunity and
the Outlook." At night Rev. A. A. McCeachy,
D. D., delivered an address on
The Evangelist's Message, the Word of
Qod as the Power of Salvation for the
sinner and Sanctiflcation for the Christian.
On the morning of Aug. 14, there
was an interesting open conference on
"Evangelistic Methods," led by Rev. J.
Ernest Thacker, and at the Sunday
evening service Dr. Chas R. Nisbet,
chairman of the committee, delivered a
most instructive and inspiring address
on, "Why Our Church Should Take An
Active Part in This Great Work."
Much enthusiasm is manifested in the
inauguration of this new and needed
movement In our Church and it is clearly
seen that it will help every department
of our Church work. The purposes of
the work are the quickening of Qod's
people and the salvation of souls. Every
revived Christian prays more earnestly,
works more consecratedly, gives more
liberally; and every soul saved is another
prayer, worker, contributor in every
branch of our Assembly work. The
committee has reauested everv church
in tbe Assembly to set aside Wednesday
evening, Oct. 13, as a special service
for tbe consideration of and prayer for
tbe Assembly's Evangelistic Work,
and it la earnestly boped tbat every
pastor will comply wltb the request
and lead his people in such a service.

THREE REASONS.
Each With Two Legs and Ten Fingers.
A Boston woman who is a fond mother
ivrttes an amusing article about her experience
feeding her boys.
Among other things she says: "Three
:hubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob, Jack and
Dick, aged 6, 4 and 2 years, respectively,
ire three of our reasons for using and
-ecommending the food Grape-Nuts for
hese youngsters have been fed on GrapeMuts
since infancy, and often between
neals when other children would have
jeen given candy.
"I gave a package of Grape-Nuts to a
leighbor whose 3 year old child was a
veazened liftle thing, ill half the time.
The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and
;ream greedily and the mother continued
.he good work and it was not long be!ore
a truly wonderful change manifested
tself in the child's face and body. The
esults wore remarkable, even for GrapeMuts.
"Both husband and I use Grane-Vntn
jvery day and keep strong and well and
iave three of the finest, healthiest boys
rou can find In a day's march."
Many mothers instead of destroying
:he children's stomachs with candy and
;ake give the youngsters a handful 01
3rape-Nuts when they are begging for
something in the way of sweets. The
'esult is soon shown in greatly increased
jetmn, strengtn and mental activity.
"There's a Reason."
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
>ook, "The Road to Wellvllle."
Ever read the above letter? A new
>ne appears from time to time. They
ire genuine, true and full of human interest.
