| The Semi-Centenial C
Iter. T. P. Hay, 1). D.
member Permanent Committee Systematic
Beneficence, Synod of Florida.
Let me just say a few words to the
members of our Southern Presbyterian
Church about the Semi-Centeunial
Church Building Fund. In sixty-four of
iub eigniy.nve rresbyterles of our
Church, there are 230 homeless congregations
struggling along with buildings
scarcely worthy the name, and 249
places where Presbyterian churches
should be organized, and the returns
are not in yet from the other Presbyteries.
The growth and expansion of our
Church during the fifty years of her
life, despite so many hindrances, are
evidence of her vitality and proof of
her right to be?yes, and a promise and
prophecy of what her development will
be, by the blessing of God, if she is
provided with an adequate loan fund
to take advantage of the many splendid
opportunities opening to her.
Our church is easily the leader in
Foreign Missionary work among her
Southern sisters, but she is being left
behind by most of them in wise, timely
and practical expansion work at home.
They are able to occupy strategic positions
in growing cities and get churches
v. j jyiui a uuiuiuatuig mil utfiiue HI
their communities by giving and in the
right season. We have left our congregations
to bear the burden of their
own building and equipment, and have
"lost out" in many instances.
And how great are the needs of every
denomination in America! "God has
set for American Protestant Christianity
the gigantic task of the ages?the
Home-Foreign task?nothing less than
the assimilation of all the foreign peoples
who find a home on this continent
into common Americanism, so that they
shall form a composite American nation.
Christian, united, free and great."
Presbyterians settled her; built their
principles into her foundations, and
Declaration of Independence, and led in
the cause of her liberation. And Presbyterians
hftVo the first and crentest
duty to discharge to our country, and
are blessed with the best opportunity,
and the building of churches, In needy
or growing places, is one of the most
direct and practical ways of helping
our Church up to her proper position
of service to the Homeland.
And the rapid development and bright
prospects of the South emphasize the
necessity of an adequate loan fund to
our Church. Opportunities multiply in
such conditions; crises develop quickly.
and become acute. The lending of
a helping hand at the right moment
oountg for more; the withholding of It
results in the more speedy and irreparable
loss. To the South belongs most
of the future of America; and the denominations
that will not keep pace
with this growth must he grown over.
The alternatives before us are these;

SHUT IN.
There are some In this world who are
compelled to tarry at home. The great
race of life goes on, and they are left
behind; they are too weak to run . . .
They have nothing to do with the hand,
witn tne sweat or tne orow, witn ine
toll of the brain; their work la all with
the heart. But what a work that la!
The tolls of hand and brain are nothing
to It; these yield a solace by their
very energy, but the sad heart has only
to bear. It's harde* to bear than to do.

LN OF THE SOOTH
Church Building Fund |
He v. Alexander Sprunt, D. I>.
uur executive Committee of Home
Missions is planning wisely for the provision
to meet a long felt want. How
badly this fund has been needed, only
they know who are constantly receiving
almost pitiful appeals from homeless
congregations, who are struggling for
a building where they may hope to
enjoy the preached word and the fulfilment
of many gracious promises the
good Lord has made to those who meet
in his name.
In this day of fortunes and material
wealth, God is graciously opening up
avenues of the richest prospects of invaluable
possibilities?many godly men
and women are honeBtly looking for
some place where they may place some
of the Lord's money and hope to see
the fulfilment of his promise. Think
of the possibilities which may be revealed
"in that duty" as having come
out of the use of the "Moore Fund"
of $5,000, which through the committee
has assisted in the building of Beventy
churches to the amount of $20,000.
What a privilege it was, is, and ever
shall be, to have been permitted to give
that $5,000 for such a cause. And it
still works, and will continue to be a
blessing.
This is like feeding the hungry, clothing
the naked, and rescuing the lost.
What can be more Christ-like? Matthew
25: 31-46.
Business men- usually are willing to
make an investment when a bright
promise of increase offers, and not a
few borrow the monev for ttm invoot
meat. Why should Christian men and
women refuse to practice this well recognized
business principle of the men
of the world?
The committee would be pleased to
receive contributions of any amount
towards this fund. No one need be
discouraged because $5,000 is not in
hand to offer. The smallest sums, if
enough are received, can provide something
to make glad many of the people
of God.
This fund may be regarded as a medium
through which many may effectively
preach the word who may not be
"called" to the "ministry." Providing
the place for the coming together of
many anxious worshippers of God will
insure the preacher and the preaching.
Some of the most effective preaching is
done In other ways than by word of
mouth. This method is earnestly commended
to all who read these lines.

I-et your spiritual life be formed by
your duties and by the actions which are
called forth by circumstances. Do not
take overmuch thought for the morrow.
Be altogether at rest in loving, holy
confidence.?Francis d? Sales.
If you were to live a thousand years,
and had to do nothing outside your lips,
you would still have enough to do in
your own heart, and would still be unable
to reach perfection; so much would
'you have to do merely within your own
heart.
