Saratoga Springs, N. Y.—The
cry of the missionaries, assembled
at the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church here,
representing every nation of the
world, is: “Great as are the present
needs of- the people,- tint dawn of
peace will bring the supreme de
mand, for the crushed and ruined
in starting life afresh must find
their consolation in religious phil
osophy and God’s love, and the
missions of our Church must be
prepared to meet this historic re
sponsibility.”
Dr. S. Earl Taylor, corresponding
Secret ary of the Board of Foreign
Missions, in a remfiVkable survey of
world conditions presented before
the Conference, showed how the
first shot, on the Belgian frontier
had echoed round the globe, caus
ing amazing ramifications. Vast
stretches of country in Africa are
an armed camp. Forty per cent, of
the men in Rhodesia arc under
arms. The war will have an im
portant effort upon the religious
life of the people. Mohammedan,
ism is aggressive, and missionaries
believe that the next twenty-five
years will decide whether Africa is
to become Mohammedan or Chris
tian. Christianity is making won
derful progress in Africa. The per
cent of increase exceeds that of any
other field except Southern Asia.
Mexico’s blood-drenching is be
ing followed by a remarkable relig
ious awakening. People arc asking
for education. For.the first time
vast numbers are willing to open
the Bible, the sales last year total
ling 03,000 copies, as against a
normal output of 20,000. The new
government is not unfriendly, Dr.
Taylor says
Important Methodist gains are
reported from South America. Sup
erstition is passing. Where the
Gospel of Jesus Christ has not been
heard, the people incline to move
to atheism. With political regen
eration in process, the present is a
strategic opportunity for mission
ary effort.
Dr. Taylor says of China: “It is
no longer the ‘Sleeping Giant.’ The
impact of Western civilization has
aroused it. Out of the confusion
of political, social, industrial, -com
mercial, intellectual and moral
changes, a new China is emerging,
with tremendous tasks and respon
sibilities.” The Secretary called
upon the Conference to prepare to
meet this situation in the interest
of tlic Chui-cn, and pointed, to re-
cjmt phenomenal increases in mem-
'lership and usefulness.”
The Protestant' forces in Japan
a «in the midst of an inferdenom-
in tttkmal union. The three years’
ev Medical campaign now going on
is i cipwtcd to be moving Japan as
nev tir before. Demands are so
gren t itbat the missionaries have
sent (Ralls for nearly 500 workers to
aid t iuem.
M< aic striking still is tin- evang
elical ' \wuiik in the Phillippincs
where, along-.with the general pro
cess of - Americanizing, the popula
tion is ’ cas»ly*turi1ingio Protestant
ism. The membership of the
Methc 'diet Church has passed . the
400,000'’ iMRiik.

and JKpian.
After sixty years of missionary
effort and sacrifice there is a Chris
tian community of over 350,000 in
India, more than 40,000 being
baptized every year.
Concerning the religious situa
tion in Europe, Mr. Taylor said:
“The social and financial aspects
do not touch tho heart of the mat
ter. The horrors and desolations
of wav have driven tho people back
unto God. In- many cases the peo
ple are accepting ministries hereto
fore rejected as valueless. Spirit-
uil comfort they must have.”
Last year the Woman's Foreign
Talks on Thrift
No. 13—Making Decisions
it a' memorable date in the mission*
Missionaryj Society of the denomi- ary history of Methodism.
From, the time we are old enough
to know right from wrong wo are
compelled to make decision's; to
any “yes” to some things and “no”
to others, In fact, all life consists
in yielding to good impulses' and
resisting the had. No man ever
succeeded unless he learned this
lesson. We can never form a char
acter, acquire property, gain know
ledge, provide for old age, take
care of those dependent upon
or get a job worth while until we
learn to make decisions. Anil the
men who draw the big salaries are
those who can pass judgment, and
hire willing to stand by the judg
ments they make.
It is the easiest thing in the
world to take tho line of least re
sistance and to do the easy thing.
If a man would acquire an educa
tion he must forego pleasures for a
time. If he would get and k'cop a
good job, he must deny himself in
dulgences that do not tend in the
right direction. If he would save
money lie must make decision after
decision and stick to them.
How many of us resolve that we
will save money and make a good
start, but full down, because we
yield to the temptation to go to
those places or in that company
where our resisting power will he
weakened. Suppose we have
spare night, If we stay at home
we know that wo won’t spend any
money. If we go to t he theatre wo
will spend a certain amount; but if
we go to the club, or out with (lie
crowd, we are not certain where we
will go, or what wo will do, and
being with the crowd we must do
as the crowd does. The result is
bound to be a breaking down of
the resolution to save.
The habit of consistently saying
“no” can only he acquired when a
man has an ambition, a goal, and
an incentive. If lie would own a
home, acquire a business, get a
good job, be a man among men,
and have a master passion, the im
petus will be with him steadily to
spur him oil and help liijn make
the many little decisions that brirg
the result lie desires! The bread
line is full of men who could not
make decisions and stick to thorn;
who played with temptations of
various kinds until they lost out;
whose declining years must lib
spent in doing the easy things be
cause in other days they couldn’t
do the hard ones.
You never will learn tho secret
of how men acquire money until
you learn the fine art . of making
decisions; and if you do not learn
this lesson for yourself, the world
will decide for you, and the decis
ion will doubtless lie that you have
no will power, are not. strong in
keeping promises to yourself and
therefore cannot be expected to he
strong in keeping those to others,
and relegate you to the ranks of
the “has boons,” or the “never
was,” where you will drift along
until the end. The saddest thing
on the ocean is a drifting ship, and
the saddest thing in life is the man
who is going nowhere, and cares
not how long it takes him to get
there.
