4. Only one thing more at this time.
Our churches should lead their people
to see that the Family has its true place
in the activities of Religion, Education.
Industry and Public Order. As implied
in what we said at the outset, the vigor
and saiety of all otner institutions de
peud on the extent to which they
strengthen the life of the family. Ever)
tendency in any of these that weakens
tue home should be resisted. Every plan
for their own welfare should include a
knowledge of its effect on the home,
.because of its Importance and because
of its relative neglect, the home should
receive more direct and positive atten
tion.
We commend these brief considerations
of a great subject to the serious
attention of the Churches of our
country, leaving the practical details
of their application to be wrought out
by them as their several systems of ad
ministration may suggest.
We are, in the interests of our common
faith, most cordially yours,

INDIVIDUAL CHURCHES AMD MIS.
SIGNS.
Many a pastor who faces a deficit
each year dreads to urge his people to
give largely to Home and foreign missions.
He omits such appeals at bis
peril or at the peril of the church. God
has called bis whole Church to the
work and his blessing follows a hearty
response to the call. The awakening
of sympathy and the losening of the
purse-strings for work for others does
not diminish but increases the contributions
to meet home needs. This has
been proved again and again in the history
of Individual churches.
The Christian "Workers' church in
London, Ontario, is one notable ex
ampie. wnen fajstor MacKenzte began
his work there twelve years ago he had
an audience of ten or twelve and received
an average of two dollars per week.
Instead of slighting foreign missions he
prest the needs of the world on the
hearts of his hearers- They tried to
raise first $50, then $100 for the cause.
A young woman offered herself, and
they took upon themselves her support.
There tv.is opposition,^but the members
in the congregation and the income increased
until recently 125 members
AN OF THE SOUTH
were giving $1,200 a year to mission
work in addition to $3,000 lor other erpeuses.
Ihe pastor testifies that tne
people individually have also been blest
and live better than belore.
The Church of the Atonement, in
Germantown, of which Rev., D. M.
Stearns is pastor, is another example.
During the past year they have given
$6,074.00 to foreign missions. This con.
gregation is not wealthy and lias not
over 150 people, but has given to foreign
missions in the past fifteen years $73.820.70.
They enter upon their sixteentn
year with all current expenses mei
and a balance in the treasury.
Many seem to forget their great in
debteduess to God for the gift of bis
dear Son, and their indebtedness to
give his Gospel to those who never
heard.
\\ hat has been done by this church is
the result of information which the
people have received as to the needs
and results of the foreign work and
prayer. The pastor, at every service,
spends a few minutes in bringing reports
from the various fields, so at
every Sunday service the thoughts of
the people are directed to the needs of
the held and to the results. What this
church is doing for foreign missions
many other churches could likewise do.
The t entral Presbyterian church, of
New York, under the pastorate of Rev.
Dr. Wilton Merle Smith, is the banner
church of the denomination. The experience
of that church is worth taking
note of specifically and here is an examnln
worth imitnllnp Tho imotor
says in answer to our inquiries:
"We are now supporting nine mis
sionaries in China, at a station called
Hawi Yuen, 150 miles northwest of
Nankin, and are euipping that station
with a permanent plant, costing $50,000.
We are also supporting a missionary
station at Hyden, Kentucky, 60 miles
from the railroad, where our work is
the only religious work in the county,
and where we have a school, an
academy, a church and other buildings,
costing about $10,000. We have two
affiliated chapels or missions in rlus
city, whici we supporf, and also ;*
Neighborhood House.
"There are twenty-live ministers and
missionaries on the pay-rolls of our
church. We have a membership of a
little lesB than one thousand, counting
the church only, and not the mission
chapels. Our total offerings last year to
the cause of foreign missions were $19,888.00,
and for home missions, including
the support of our two city mission
chapelB. $17,582.00. You will be interested
to know that our offering for the
general work for the foreign board and
the home board have in no wise diminished
by reason of our heavy expenditures
for our own missionary
scheme.
"Our whole scheme or sending out
our own missionaries started among
our Church Endeavorers. The development
of It has been very astonishing.

Just now, several of our missionaries
are home on their furlough, greatly
stimulatiug the missionary enthusiasm
of the church. All our missionaries
have kodaks and their pictures are
made into slideB and thrown on the
screens at our monthly missionary
ineeting, which is always the largest
meeting of the month.
"1 believe intensely in thiB 'living
link' system, of missions; it will quadruple
the gift of any church to the
cause. I may add, we have one other
missionary under appointment, a medical
missionary, who went to China in
the fall. She will make the tenth missionary
in China, two of whom are
medical missionaries.
"I was perfectly amazed last year
with the ease with which I raised $30,nnn
of tho iRn.nnn nnnHoH f?r ? ?.-*??
manent building in China.
"The interest of the church has been
stimulated also by the fact that all
of our missionaries, at least in the
foreign field, have labored in our own
church from three to ten months before
their departure, hence they have
become known and loved by the smallest
children.
"I only wish that every church in our
country could adopt our scheme. Three
of our China missionaries are supported
by individuals in our congregation.
Two ministers have gone out from our
own congregation go far, stimulated by
this movement. Two others, four in
all. are the field."
What an example and proof of the
possibilities latent in one church with
a pastor who is alive on missions!
Surely those who work in harmony with
the plan of God are blest- The least
that a pastor can do is to present the
nAPflc nnH nrnerpco nf thn wnrlr onH oalf
each individual to give as the Lord
prompts and enables.
He who stabs with tongue or pen your
reputation now, would pierce your heart
as deeply if in safety he knew how.
