MISSIONS
' An Easter Suggestion
There is no thought that is more
consonant with Easter than that of
making Christ known and loved
among the nations of the earth.
The resurrection and the duty of
"telling it out among the nations
that the Lord is King” arc'iti sen-
arable. They are coupled tegether
in the New Testament. "Thus it is
written and thus it behooved Christ
to suffer , and to rise from the dead
the third day: and that repentance
and remission of sins should preach
ed in His name among all nations,
beginning at\Jerusalom, And ye
are witnessesoffhesethings.” The
last words of the risen Lord before
liis ascension were, "unto the ut
termost part of the earth.” The
thoughts of his Church should be
turned to this great duty of making
him known to (he world as they
think on his resurrection.
One of the great needs of those
who are trying to preach his gospel
to preach his gospel aboard is
churches in which to preach. The
apostles found synagogues almost
everywhere in which they might
witness to his resurrection. There
are no synagogues among the heath
en. Our missionaries arc greatly
hindered in their work and often
seriously discouraged for lack of
suitable houses in which to gather
and teach the people. The greatest
waste of the missionary enterprise
is suitable houses in which to gather
and teach the people. The greatest
waste of the missionary enterprise
in at the point of inadequacy of
equipment. The appeals that come
to us from missionaries for money
to erect churches and chapels are
most pathetic. These appeals we
cannot meet fer lack of funds, and
so our brave workers must go on as
best they can without houses. This
applies especially to Sunday schools
and the teaching of children in
heathen and Semi-Christian lands
We have decided to ask the Sun
day schools of our church to make a
contribution on next Easter Sunday
‘for building churches in our foreign
fields. This is not to be a special
for any one field or specified objects
but a fund that the Board can use
where it is most needed in the erec
tion of churches for our missionaries
If every member of our groat Sun
day school army would contribute
only one niclde to this cause,
would mean more than $50,000,and
that would make glad the whole
missionary force and give to many
thousands a place which to worship
a new-found Saviour and to build
lip consistent Christian character.
Programs and other aids for mak
ing this offering a success and
blessing are being prepared. It
hoped that our pastors and Sunday
school superintendents will write
for these helps and join to make
the cuming Easter a great building
day.
The most gracious result of such a
■ use of this sacred day will be the
effect upon the young life of our
Churches. It will make the resur
rection have a more real meaning to
them, and will relate it to their
duty and privilege of making the
great fact known to the world.
