Sunday, December 2nd, is designa-
I led as Equipment Day in (he Southern
Presbyterian church. It is tlio day
upon which the 428,000 members of
tliis cliurch will attempt to raise in cash
offerings $600,000.00 to adequately
equip tlreir home and foreign fields and
missionaries. This church now supports
065 home missionaries and 510 foreign
missionaries, The missionaries are la
boring with the poorest sort of equip
ment. The battle cry of the cliurch
at this time is “Shall wo equip or
quit?”
Under the direction of Drs S. L. Mor
ris and Ilojner McMillan, secretaries
rf the executive commiteo of Home
Missions for this church, 828 churches
and stations are maintained through
which 0,638 new members were received
on profession and 2,908 on certificate
Under their direction also 50,000 re
ceived instruction in Sunday Schools
last year. 75,000 Southern mountain
people are being reached through this
c.ommitteo with the gospel.
Stuart Robinson School at Blackoy,
Ky., is the largest school in the whole
church save ono—Davidson Collego.
This school is faced with tho constant
necessity of turning away students on
account of lack of dormitory space.
This school is also in urgent need of
furnishings for tliroo dormitories,
principal’s homo nnd n church building.
Indian missions, negro missions nnd
work among foreign populations arc
ether objects of appeal in tho call for
the equipment fund.
Africa, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Chinn
nnd Korea comprise the countries in
which this cliurch is operating on the
foreign fields—a total population of
33,000,000 unsaved, or about 72,000 to
each missionary. Poorly equipped lioa
pitnls and poorly equipped chapels and
homes is the report of the missionnrios.
In anticipation of the call, many
churches have already signified a splen
did response, notable among them, Le
noir, Gastonia nnd Charlotte, N. C.,
Athens Gn., Roanoke, Vn., and Hparta-
burg, S. C. Tho campaign is under tho
direction of the General Assembly
Stewardship committee of Chattanooga,
Tohn., of which Dr. M. E. Melvin ia
general secretary and Rev. R. C. Long
associate secretary. Mr. T. R. Preston,
also of Clmttnnoogn, is treasurer of this
fund.
Tho Equipment Fund is the one out
standing Special of tlio General Assem
bly. Last Sunday our pastor gave a
few moments at tho close of tho ser
mon for presentation of the Equipment
Campaign by tlio Congregational Sec
retary, Mr. C. K. Henderson, .Tr. Our
members are interested in our mission
work. More and more each organiza
tion is taking up mission study and this
is resulting in' increased interest, We
cannot pray for, or givo to, causes of
which wo know nothing. For weeks our
cliurch papers have carried a full pago
of “Equipment Needs.” Ono of these
pages is posted at tlio cliurch.
Next Sunday is “Equipment Day” ir.

IC—A Uravo Ffeuchor and a Great
Revival.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—The Source ul’ Missionary Power.
The power of the early church wus
thfe Holy Spirit. This same Spirit has
been the power of the church In all
ages. The Watchword of God’s might
iest men throughout the centuries bus
been, “Not by might nor by power,
but by my spirit suith tlio Lord of
Hosts." (Zecli. 4:0.) The mightiest
forces In the world are spiritual.
I. The Coming of the Spirit (Acts
2:1-4.
1, Time Of (v. 1). It was on the
day of Pentecost. "Day of Pentecost"
^mentis the feast which was held fifty
days after the wave sheaf was of
fered (Lev. 23:15-10). It was ob
served by presenting two loaves made
of the new wheat (Lev. 23:17). These
loaves were baked with leaven, while
leaven was excluded from the Pass-
over feast (Lev. 23:0). Tho reason
was that the Passover feast typified
Christ’s sacrltlce, while Pentecost rep
resented tlio church, composed of Jews
and ®entile$—the two loaves. Christ
had no sin in Him while tho men and
women composing the church liuve sin
in them.
The feast of Pentecost In a figura
tive sense still continues, for the body
of Christ Is not yet complete, rente-
cost was a most fitting time for the
coming of the Spirit.
2. Upon Whonb the Spirit Clime (v.
1; cf. 1:13-15).
The twelve and others to the num
ber of 120. The coming of the Spirit
was not merely for the twelve but for
all believers—members of the body of
Christ. TJjey were 111 "one place, with
one accord" waiting for the fulfill
ment of "Father’s promise” (Luke
24 :40). With a group of believers thus
with eyes fixed upon Christ In expecta
tion of the fulfillment of Pus promises,
wonderful blessings are sure to come.
If the church would be with one ac
cord In one place wonderful blessings
would come still.
II. The Marks of the Spirit (vv. 2-4.)
These murks were external and In
ternal.
1. External.
(1) The Sound of’a Mighty Wind.
There was no wl(id—only the sound
thereof. This suggests the till-pervasive
life-giving Influence of tlie Holy Spirit.
(2) Tongues’ of Flame. Each of the
120 was crowned with such n tongue.
The tongues show the practical pur
pose of the Spirit’s gifts, and-the fire
Indicates His purifying energy, purg
ing th^ dross nnd making fit witnesses
for Him.
(3) Speaking In Foreign Tongues.
For these humble Galileans to thus
speak caused great amazement.
2. Internal.
This is seen In the transformation
wrought In the disciples. They have
great courage and self-possession.
Peter, who a little while before was
cowering before a Jewish maid, now
with lion boldness stood before the
thousands of Jerusalem, and a little
Inter before the chief rulers of the
dty nnd declared that they had mur
dered their King.
III. Tho Converting Power of the
Holy Spirit (Acts 2:37-42).
Many people were convicted of their
sins—about three thousand repentfed
and were baptized. This revival wus
real because:
1. They continued steadfast in the
apostles’ teaching. They did not grow
cold or run uftor every fud that came
along. This Is the real test of con
version.
2. They continued In fellowship with
the apostles. The surest way to grow
is to keep In fellowship with Chris
tians. Death Is sure to follow the
neglect of the fellowship of the
brethren In Christ.
’ 3. In using the means of grace, "In
the breaking of bread,” God has in
stituted ordinances In His house nnd
those who are genuinely converted
will avail themselves of their use.,
4. In prayer the apostolic cliurch
was a praying church.. The Christian
life cannot be lived without prayer.
S HE minister had hung up his
stocking, too. The sprites
that put Into It a candy cane,
H jollipop, a ball, an. apple nnd
a motor car that would go, hnd
added a mouth orgiin, most appropri
ate nnd perhaps most needed of all
gifts, for what other mouth should
so dispense harmony?
Then, after breakfast, came the pro
cession Into the pnrlor and unto the
I wonderful tree. First, little Sarah,
I with the early nnd aided steps of her
| one your and the big eyes of her first
Christmas tree. Then demure Helen,
blowing Imr own horn for once, then
big Sura! \ii(l all tho uncles, mints
ami cousin:, then futhor nnd mother,
mul then (he minister, playing his new
march‘upon his new organ.
When they were all seated In the
happy circle they naked for the words
of thnt new tune nnd hero they are:
If birds could sing in Christmas trees,
If they could bum with hapny bees,
If they were sweet with nil the spice
Of all things beautiful and nice.
They could not altogether be
More full of love than this, our troe.
Chorus.—March, march to the Christ
mas treo,
It 1ms a loving gift for thoe.
Then they all sang It, after which
the beautiful tree yielded its fruit.

“It Is More Blessed to ’
Give Than Receive”
HIS has nothing to 1 do with
hanks or savings accounts; but
more money is saved at Clu-ist-
mas time thau any other time
of the year. Yes', saved. That
may sound absurd to a lot of people
who have spent all their money buying
presents for their families and friends
and neighbors, but It Is true just the
same. How? Why, because giving
Is the finest sort of saving, and not'
only saving, but Investing. Every good
gift Is a permanent gain to the giver;
It Is better than a bank book carrying
the same amount, for u gift Is more
truly a saving than credit account on
n bank ledger. If you want to save
your money, give it uwuy—wisely.
Does that sound unreasonable? Re-
member, It is more blessed to give
than receive.—F. H. Sweet.

AUNT MEHITABLE’S PRESENT
Aunt Meld table had a powerful and
active Imagination that often kept her
awake, ohe was ever creating diffi
culties by imagining them and making
things crooked by trying to straighten
them out. “Hiram,” said she, “I
can’t think what has' got Into George;
I didn’t like the way he looked at us
this morning.”
“Probably he was thinking qf some
body else,” answered her brother.
“George,” began his aunt the next
day, “what was tho matter with you
yesterday morning, you looked sourer
’n pickles.”
“Nothin’ was the matter with me,'*
said thp boy, “t was puz,ziin’ over your
