The popular services were very well

an ex-priest converted to the true faith
about three months ago, and now a
member of the Methodist church.
Sunday afternoon we had the privilege

Ilo*v the Presbytery Yoted on the
Questions Sent Down by the Assembly
to Presbyteries: The first, in regard to
the change In paragraph 235 of Book
of Church Order, this Presbytery answered
in the negative. The second, In
regard to the amendment of Sec. 3,
Chap. 10, of the Confession of Faith, this
Presbytery answered in the affirmative.
The third, in regard to the change of
paragraph 94 of the Book of Church
Order, Chap. 5, See. 7, this Presbytery
answered in the negative. Also this
Presbytery answered in the negative the
question of making the Synod a court in
regulation gradation.
The financial crisfs in our work
caused much discussion and no little
perplexity. The past year has been the
hardest in the history of our work. This
is owing to the fact that the work Is
growing every year and so are its needs.
Rvery six months at the meeting of the
Presbytery every worker in the field
brings to the Presbytery the most touching
appeals from their fields and from
new places where the people want to
hear the good tidings of Salvation in
behalf of their hungry souls.
The members of our churches have
been more liberal each year in supporting
the work, hut the needs of the field
surpass their efforts. We pray God that
he send us the means for the support of
this work.
If anv Christian and lnvlnsr heart
wants to co-oqierate with God to answer
our prayers, he or she can do It,
Bending their gifts to Rev. R. D. Campbell,
Beeville, Texas.

The Home Mission Work of St. Johns
l'reshytery Is being vigorously prosecuted.
Dr. Roseborough, Presbytery's
evangellPt, recently organled a church
at Bushnell, the new county seat of
Sumter county.
During the year just closed St. Johns
Presbvtery raised nearly $3,000 for the
carrying on of Home Mission work
A. N OF THE SOOTH
within her own bounds. Three years
aigo we were receiving aid from the
Assembly's committee.
On the 24th a commission of St. Johns
Presbytery ordained Mr. C. E. Wildman
to the full work of the gospel ministry
and installed him as pastor of the
Brookesville church. He will supply
also at Dade City.
Brookesville Is a thriving, prosperous
town, the county seat of Hernando
county, 'built on the yhighest elevation
in Florida. So rapid has been Its development
that your correspondent
would have had difficulty in knowing
where he was if he had been carried
into the town blindfolded and the bandages
removed. And all this within a
couple of years.
Rev. W. Y. Davis, of Louisville, Ky.,
who has so acceptably supplied the
Clearwater church for a few months,
will return to his home at the end of
April.
Rev. H. H. Newman has taken hold
of the work at Key "West, and finds
there a most devoted band of fellow
laborers. Few In number, they are full
of zeal, and there 1b good prospect of
building up a strong church in that
growing city.
The Sarasota church is fast reaching
out towards self-support. Rev. J. F.
Cocks is abundant in labors and is being
greatly blessed in his work.
Rev. J. E. Henderson and his people
at Bradentown are busy in their efTorts
for a new house of worship.
The church at Inverness is erecting a
house of worship and hopes to have it
ready for dedication some time in July.
The Student Volunteer Movement.
Rev. Charles Hounsbell, missionary
to Korea, under the 'Southern Methodist
Board, and now on furlough, recently
visited Louisville in the interest of the
Movement. Some twenty-five years ago
the Student Volunteer Movement was
organized at iMt. Hermon, Mass. The
demand for workers on the mission
fields is more urgent than ever. The
Student Volunteer Movement seeks to
secure the workers. Its watchword is:
"The Evangelization of the World in
this Generation."
Dr. John R. Mottsays of it: "I read
this morning, 'A handful of corn dropped
in the earth on the top of a mountain,
the fruit thereof shall shake like
Lebanon.' ... Its distinctive mission
has been in its appeal for life. Thousands
have responded to that appeal.
These are scattered on every continent
of the world. The Spirit of the living
God is working with mighty power
through them."
Dr. Arthur J. Brown says: "It may
be well that the future historian will
count the Student Volunteer Movement
as one of the most remarkable and
significant movements in the history
of the Church of God. For the Student
Volunteer Movement stands for the
united and resolute response of the
Christian young men and women of the
United States and Canada to the new
world conditions, and to the consequent
call of our Lord."
And Jesus went about all the cities
and villages, teaching in their synagogues,
and preaching the gospel of
the kingdom, and healing every sick,
nots and every disease among the people.
But when he saw the multitudes, he
was moved with compassion on them
because they fainted, and were scattered
abroad as sheep having no shepherd.
i ueu sunn ne unto nis disciples, tbe
harvest truly is plenteous but the laborers
are few.
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he will send forth labourers
Into his harvest. Matthew 9: 36-38.
Again I say unto you, that If two
of you shall agree on earth as touching
anything that they shall ask, it
Bhall be done for them of my Father,
which Is in heaven.
For where two or three are gathered
together In my name there am I In
the midst of them. Matthew 18: 19-20.
And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and In earth.
