Mt. Pleasant churches. The Pulpit
Committee soon got in touch with
Rev. Charles E. Sullivan, D. D., who
was recuperating in Florida. Before
Presbytery met to dissolve the pasto
ral relation, the congregations met
and the pastor moderated tho meet
ings which called his successor. Dr.
Sullivan has accepted the calls and
began work the first Sunday of July.
We did not miss a single service on
account of the change.

FOREIGN MISSION RECEIPTS.
There continues to be a distressing
falling ofT in the receipts for Foreign
Missions. The total for June was $47,
124.03, which is $4,733.58 less than
for the same month last year.
The total for the first three months
of the year, ending June 30th, was
$149,337.12. This is $57,192.14 less
than the amount given by the
churches for the same period in 1921.
This looks very much as though the
committee may have to make a cut In
its appropriations for the work in the
fields greater than the 10 per cent,
cut already made. This is not a time
fon curtailing work. The calls were
never so loud and the opportunities
were never so great. On the other
hand, the Church was never more able
to do its work. What are we going
to do about it?
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON
MISSIONARY ENFORCEMENT.
(Continued from page 7)
suiting from the decreased value of
our dollar In the markets of tho
world: A very important element of
tho increased cost, however, is the
remarkable development of the work
on the field, which necessarily in
volves increased cost just in propor
tion to its development. In other
words, the increased per capita cost
of our work is largely due to the
success of the work, as represented
in the establishment and growth of
indigenous churches, which is the ob
jective towards which all our work is
directed in all our fields.
As showing what this development
has been through a period of twenty
years, attention is called to the tab
ular statement, prepared by our
Treasurer, Mr. E. F. Willis, and
submitted by him as information to
the General Assembly at Charleston.
It will be seen from this statement
that we do not fulfil our missionary
task simply by appointing and send
ing our missionaries. There is an
other side to the task, that of pro
viding for the native side of the work,
which constantly becomes increasing
ly costly and of increasing relative
importance. If we had unlimited in
come we could profitably send out a
largely increased number of mission
aries. But with a limited and inade
quate income wise administration
consists in preserving a proper bal
ance between the two branches of
the work. To sacrifice the native side
of the work for the sake of sending
out more foreign workers would be
to sacrifice the end to the means.
