thousands of converts every year,

harvest,* our faith to a certain
extent is swallowed up in sight.
missions the central thought
OF CHRISTIANITY.
Free Christianity is not cen
tral, but its very essence is mis
sionary, its highest ideal of per
fection is giving oneself for oth
ers.
bo WE BELIEVE IN HOME AND
NOT IN FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Christ did not give two com
missions, the one for the home
and the other for foreign lands;
the work is one to the heart of
Christ and must be one to us—
Our Gospel is to every creature
the love that cannot see and
heed the needs of the Godless
masses at home is not the love
that can reach the heatherns;
likewise the spirit that would
appropriate all the blessings that
come through the knowledge of
the Lord to our own land, is not
the spirit of Christ.
THE RELATION OF MISSIONS TO
SPIRITUALITY.
All Christians agree that the
need of the church is more spir
ituality—Spirituality is the in
dwelling of Christ by the opera
tion of the Holy Spirit.
As we search the scriptures
for the promise of Christ to
dwell in us, we find the condi
tion on which the promise is
given to be “teaching all na
tions.”
Go ye therefore and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have com
manded you and lo, I am with
you always even unto the end of
the world—Matt, xxvi 11, 19, 20.
CHRISTIANITY’S DEBT TO THE
NATIONS.
S ' Paul say3 I am debtor both
to the Greeks and to the Barba
rians, both to the wise and the
unwise. By the debt of Chris
tians to the world we mean, the
debt of the saved to the nnsav
e d world. When we realize
w hat the Religion of Jesus had
done for every nation that has
professed his name, and when
we campare the acheivements
Chribtian nations in the arts
a nd sciences as well as in benev
°lence and universal Charity
w ith the nations that do notcon
fess Christ, we recognize the
hand of God directing the affairs
°f the nations that name, the
n ame of Christ.
Surely we owe it to our broth
ers heathern lands today to
Pleach to them the unsearcha
ble riches of Christ.
Belo w we give a clipping from
address by Bishop Morrison, f
as encouragement to those who 1
long to see the kingdoms of this
world become the kingdoms of
our Lord and his Christ:
What is the progress made
toward the payment of this debt?
Beginning at zero without mon
ey or missionary, in the face of
persecution and opposition, af
ter eight hundred and seventy
years the church has paid its
debt to a little more than one
third of the human race. While
the work of payment is not pro
gressing as I should like to see
it, it is being paid at a rate more
rapid than at any period of the
past. Iqdia has had a Protest
ant gain of one hundred per cent
in the last ten years. And at
the same rate in the middle of
the next century the whole coun
try will have been conquered
for our Lord and Master. Chi
na is silently and imperceptibly
yielding to the devine forces at
work in a manner astounding
to those who understand her
best. Her demand for educa
tion and the fact that at last
she is being touched by Chris
tian sentiments is working a
revolution in the mighty empire.
But the revolution is a silent
one. The kingdom of God does
not come by civil or military
covnulsions. but like the silent
forces of the world. The eos
pel influence is the devine lea
ven that is to do the work, and
do it in the same silent manner
as the coming springtime chang
es the face of nature. Working
in this way, the leaven of Chris
tianity is underminding the
domination of the powers of
darkness.
Safeguard the Children.
Notwithstanding all that is (lone by
boards of health and charitably inclined
persons, the death rate among small chil
dren is very high during the hot summer
months in large cities. There is not prob
ably one case of bowel complaint in a
hundred, however that could not be cured
by the timely use of Chamberlain’s Colifc,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Mr.
Frank Riggs, of Franklinville, N. V., in
speaking of this remedy said: “I have
found it expedient to have a supply of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy on hand. It has been a
family safeguard and while especially Ben
eficial to children, it is equally good in
adult cases. I recommend it cheerfully
and without reservation. For sale by

Mr. John Post, of tha Atlanta Fire

but failed until I accidentally came in
possession of a bottle of Black Weed.
The relief obtained from its use was so
great before half the first bottle had
been used, that I put aside all other
medicines and am now sound and well,
having been cured completely by Black
Weed. At the same time I had an ag
gravated case of Catarrh of the head

cured this, and my head is now as clear
