Why Pave Home Missions?
1. Because Christ commanded
them when lie said: "Ye shall be
witnesses unto me bull) in .Jerusalem
and in all Judea, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the
earth.”
2. Because we are directly con
cerned in home affairs. The weal
or woe of our country makes for
righteousness or iniquity, and thus
shapes the destiny of our children.
The early churches of Asia Minor
and Africa fell away from Christ,
and it is possible for the United
States to revert to barbarism unless
a holy zeal for the salvation of every
citizen moves our hearts.
8. Because here in'the South, as
everywhere else, the need which
Christ intends this command to
meet is very great. Mere are some
of the conditions among us which
Christ’s brethren must meet or be
found disloyal to their Lord:
(a) A rapid increase of wealth,
creating new class linos, forming a
large and increasingly dependent
class of wage-earners in the cities.
These people are cut off by hours of
work, place of residence, lack of in
tercourse and sympathy from the
growing "leisure class,” their
Church arid their religion. The rift I
is not yet very deep, hut it is there
and it is growing. Nothing can j
bridge it but the love of Cod ex-j
pressed in human lives and service.
(b( The rapid influx of foreign-1
ers brings anew responsibility. :
Italians, Cubans, Hungarians, Bo
hemians, for the most part from the
poorest, most ignorant classes, are
found by the thousands in Texas,
West Virginia, Lousiana, Florida,
and elsewhere. With the comple
tion of the Panama Canal, tens of
thousands will be drawn hither, and
we are to be confronted with peoples
bringing debased forms of religion,
if any at all, and ignorance and
need. What has the Master to say
to these people through us?
(c) Eight million negroes, God’s
special trust to us, an inheritance
from Cur fathers and mothers, who
raised this race, by the help of God,
from a state of savagery t the level
u heron they stand today and in
Christ’s name ask that we do our
part as our fathers did theirs.
(and) Our mountain people, of as
good blood as any in the world,
await the broadening of their op
portunities, that culture of mind
and heart which will open their way
to a high and noble service of the
King of whom many of them have
but dimly heard.
o. We need home missions fcr
our own soul’s sake. Sending is
not enough. It is when we go, as
Christ went, to those within reach
of our own feet and hands aid

drink deeper of the love that passes
knowledge. "If we have set out to
find the palace of our King, resolv
ing that we will enter it and live
with him even as the most abject of
minions,we are not in the right way
and shall never see the palace nqr

poor brothers in wretched hovels,
numberless and near'at hand; and
if we will join Him in this service
we shall find Him there, and every

Five Millions For Bible Study.
It is announced from New York
that Mr. John 1). Rockefeller is to
give Five Million Dollars to the
Union of Bible Classcg. Led by the
Young Men’s Bible Class of Fifth
Avenue Baptist church, of which
John I). Rockefeller, Jr., has been
the teacher for about a dozen years,
there will be. a union of this Bible
class with the Brick Presbyh rian,
Broadway Tabernacle and the
Calvary Young Men’s meeting for
the purpose of creating a widespread
interest in the studying of the Bible
by young men. Dr. Chas. Aked,who
recently came from England to the
pastorate of young Mr. Rockefeller's
church, is to he the head of this
combination.
This movement will naturally at
tract the attention of thousands of
young men, not only in New York,
hut all over the land, to the study
of the "Old fashioned lhhle.’’ and
the wholesome influence that will!
make itself felt in the manhood of
the nation is beyond computation.
it will he of interest to state in
this connection that the Young
Men's Bible class now leading in
this movement was formerly taught
by Charles E. Hughes, now the
great Christian Governor of the great
state of New York. His stalwart
manhood and his inspiring person
ality gave the class its impetus, and
when he "retired on account of ill
health, John 3). Rockeleller, Jr.,
who was then just out of Brown
University —and a mighty plain,
senisble, soild young fellow —was
elected to succeed him. The writer
was at one time a member of this
I class for several months and rejoices
that so many splendid young men
whose frienpship blessed his life
when he was “a stranger in a strange
Hand,” are to be the guardians now
jof the "headwaters,” so to speak,
j of so many influenced for good.
Save a man advanced in years
and you save only a man —hut save
a young man amid the kindling
glories of his morning time, and
you save a youngman “plus a life.”

“THEY SAY.”
Have you heard of the terrible fain
ily “They,”
And the dreadful, venomus things
“They” say?
Why, half the gossip under the
sun,
If you trace it hack, you will find
begun
In that wretched House of “They.”
A numerous family, so I am told,
And its genealogical treee is old;
For ever since Adam and Eve be
gan
To build up the curious race of
man
Has existed the House of “They.”
Gossip mongers and spreaders of
lies, *"
Horrid people whom all despise!
And yet the best of us, now and
then,
Repeat- queer tales about women
and men
And quote the House of “They.”
They live like lords and never
labor,
A “They’s” one task is to watch
his neighbor
And tell his business and private
affairs,
To the world at large they are sow
ers of tares —
These folks in the House of “They.”
It is wholly useless to follow a
“They”
With a whip or a gun, for he slips
away
And into his house, whore you can
not go,
It is locked and bolted and guard
ed so —
This horrible House of “They.”
Though you cannot get in, yet they
get out,
And spread their villainous tales
about.
Of all tne rascals under the sun
Who h ave come to punishment,
never one
Belonged to the House of “They.”
