how Christ com* to occupy th? place of
th? world's idsal leadership, not by ths
us? of political power, nor of material
means; nor of org"anlzatlon of forces,but
only by going about doing good, teaching
to casual listeners the truths of his kingdom,
being kind to everyone. After painting
a matchless picture of the matchless
beauty of Christ, Mr. Speer caused the
convention to feel very sensibly* the
presence of Christ when he said, "He
Is not visibly present, but if you will
close your eyes, you will see him; If you
will be still, you will hear him, and he
will seem to be saying, 'Follow me.'"
And it was even bo. For as the men
and women of the vast audience bowed
their heads, and closed their eyes, and a
stillness reigned so profound that the
falling of a pin might have been heard,
many realized as never before In their
lives the personal presence of the Lord.
IT. Expressions of loyalty to the
King.
"And all the people shouted, and said,
God save the king."
The expressions of loyalty to Christ
In the great convention probably furnished
the most touohing feature of all.
These expressions took the form:
1. Of declarations of devotion to his
service.
Mr. Innes' experience of how, from
devotion to Christ's service, he had
found an opportunity as a business
man of influencing the whole world, and
Mr. Dougbty's two addresses on prayer
and stewardship probably furnished the
most wonderful and deeply moving declarations
of such devotion heard In the
convention.
2. Of challenges to follow his leadership.
Speer's two addresses on "Life and
Leadership," and "Sacrificial Obedience
as the Real Missionary Need," furnished
the most vivid expressions of these challenges,
as a consequence of which many
were touched with a determination more
closely than ever before to follow his
leadership.

f. Of exhibitions of obedlsnce to bit
will.
Ther? wert many such exhibitions
during the three days' convention, but
none were quite comparable to those
made during the closing hours of the
convention on Thursday night, and
nothing certainly so deeply touched the
hearts of those who witnessed them as
did these exhibitions. They furnished
the climax.
There were three distinct periods In
the convention when climaxes of enthusiasm
were reached. The first of
these was at the close of the morning
session of the second day in connection
with the addresses of Messrs. Innes
and Doughty, referred to above. That
was a time of tenderness and tears,
when the Convention was melted, and
made plastic, when men were ready with
a new found joy to fall down and cry,
"My Lord and My God." The second of
these climaxes came during the morning
session of the third day during the
address of Mr. Speer on "Life and Leadership."
It was an hour of deep
"searchings of heart," and of "great resolves
of heart;" a time when the responses
came as the result of a great
appeal to the elements of heroism in
the soul. But the last of these climaxes,
which was the climax of climaxes, was
produced by the exhibitions of obedi
ence to his will furnished at this closing
session of the convention. The date
will ever be memorable in the history
of the Southern Presbyterian Church,
February 8, 1912, between the evening
hours of seven and ten. It was than the
tide of enthusiasm reached its flood,
and those who were caught in it were
swept ofT their feet by it. It manifested
itBelf in decision, in action by evidences
of feverish excitement, by tears of joy,
by spontaneous bursts of praise to God.
Words cannot describe it only those
who witnessed it could begin to have a
true conception of its meaning.
The emphasis of the hour was gathered
around the thought of opportunity.
M. B. Speer, in conducting the devotional
exercises, read of one Matthew
the Publican who seized upon the opportunity
of following Christ when he
called him from the receipt of custom;
and of the opportunity those have who
would be disciples of Christ of seeking
to call not the righteous, but sinners to
repentance. (Matt. 9:9-13).
A message was read from H. C.
Ostrom, expressing regret that he had
not the opporunlty of meeting with the
men in this convention; of the opportunity
presented by the need of Japan,
and asking that all quit themselves like
men, and be strong.
Rev. B. C. Patterson spoke briefly of
the opportunity presented in the needs
of the famine sufferers of China, and
of the blessedness and joy realized by
those who take advantage of these opportunities
to minister to these needs.
J. F. Preston spoke of Korea as an
object lesson, showing how our Church
had seized the opportunity presented
by the field and forces providentially
prepared of God, and had practically
furnished and equipped the full quota
hi iiuooiuuui icb iur cumpieiing ;ne evangelization
of her share of Korea In this
generation.
Mr. C. H. Pratt, who has been most
larely responsible for the Church's taking
advantage of this situation to present
Korea as an object lesson In missions,
impressed the convention, as did
the Apostle Paul the elders of Ephesus
at Miletus, with the thought that many
were having the last opportunity of
looking him in the face, as he spoke a
few words of farewell on this the eve of

and said, "One thousand years ago the
ancestor of one of these missionaries
passed through the gates of Jerusalem
on a crusade to the holy sepulchre; and
now this missionary Is going on a crusade,
not to capture an empty tomb, but
to win men and women for the living
Christ;" as the quartet, two of whose
members are themselves volunteers,
faced them, and sang "Speed Away!
Speed Away!" and as the audience
spontaneously caught up the doxology.
"Praise God from whom all blessings

half of Africa, in which he emphasized
the thought that our Church has an unparalleled
opportunity In Africa; of how
this opportunity is in peril; and of how
the Holy Spirit is using this imperilled
opportunity to thrust out laborers Into
the field.
J. Campbell White took the platform,
and he said, "If men ever faced opportunity,
you face It now." He asked
those volunteers who are willing to go
to Africa as soon as the funds for sending
them can he provided to come up on
the platform. Then came one by one,
and stood In line facing the audience,
two women and twenty-seven men.
Martin led In prayer that God would
guide the convention with this challenge
before It. White announced that some
one had handed him a check for $100 ho
be used toward sending the waiting missionaries
out. Then pledges began
spontaneously to pour In, and in less
than 30 minutes about $40,000 had been
pledged, enough to send out eleven of
the missionaries. Was there ever a
more giorlpus exhibition of ohed'ence ho
the will of Christ than that furnished
by th's evening's program?
With a few closing words by Mr.
Speer on the necessity of sacrificial
obedience to the great missionary enterprise,
and praver, the Second General
Convention of the Tjavrven's Mission?rv
Movement of the Presbyterian Church
In the United States passed Into history,
and Its Influence had passed Into and
