May it not be that God designs that
the baffling problems which co•-
fient Christianity in the non-Chri i
tian world shall constitute the battle
ground for disciplining the faith arid
strengthening the character of His
followers?
To preserve the pure faith of Chris
tianity, a world-wide plan and con
quest are necessary. This lesson is
convincingly taught in the pages of
cuiurch history.
The concern of Christians today
should not be lest non-Christian peo
ple refuse to receive Christ, but lest
they in failing to communicate Him
will themselves lose Him. —Edinburgh
Conference.
American friends and co-workers
with Bishop Walter R. Lambuth, who
is just now starting on his long per
ilous journey into the heart of Africa
to establish there a mission of his
church, have received very interest
ing letters from him.
One letter written from London
gives an interesting account of pre
parations for the journey. Bishop
Lambuth says:
“Our purchases consisted of tents
cots, bedding, camp chairs, dishes of
enameled ware, aluminum water bot
tles, folding bathtubs, a (well-filled
medicine chest, one hundred machetes
/or cutting high grass, axes for trees,
and an ample supply of provisions to
cover fifty days’ march. We also ad

-‘Last night a letter reached me
j from Luebo, Africa, written by Mr
1 Bedinger, of Lushame, one of the
j r.-esbyterian missionaries. He wrote
I that, in accordance with my request
messengers had been sent to the
J g'eat chief, Wembo Ni&ma, with pres
i enls. They went, on the run many
days’ journey and reached him be
fore he cut the eighteenth notch in
his stick.
“Prof. ‘Gilbert and I had promised
lira we would return by the eighteen
th full moon from the time v/e left,
or send a messenger. The chief was
g'ad to hear from us, received the
presents and sent back word to mo
that he anxiously awaited my com
ing. This lifts a great burden of anx
iety from my heart, for I did not
know- what might have occurred din
ing the long interval of absence since
we left his village eighteen months
ago. We hope to reach Wembo Niama
by January 15, at which time I shall
aeliver in person the message from
various friends and from the two Bra
zi’ annual conferences.
“I deeply regret, and so does Prof.
Gilbert, the fact that he cannot go
cut with me this year. His church is
not sufficiently organized to main
tain him and it seems necessary, in
order to thoroughly enlist the sympa
thy and co-operation of his constitu
ency, that he should remain in the
United States until after the general
conference of 1914. He has written
me that his heart is in Africa and he
would be by my side were the way
open.

You men and women who can’t get

coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can’t sleep, are bil

a sick, gassy, disordered stomach, or

Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with
salts, cathartic pills or castor oil?
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested, fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and
poison in the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will straighten
you out by morning—a 10-cent box
from any drug store will keep your

Work- in Porto Rico.
Dr. A. B! Rudd, superintendent of
Eaptist missions in Porto Rico, says
in a recent report:
“In June, 1899, our first candidates
wore baptized—a jailer and his en

bave just closed our eleventh annual
association. We have fifty-two church
es, about 2,300 members, sisty-two
Sunday schools, a semi-monthly paper*

seminary, for which plans are drawn
for a $17,000 building, about $4,500

Sixty-Year-Old Chinese Church.
In Shanghai, China, there is a
Chinese Christian congregation sixty
years old, and the church is support
ed entirely by Chinese offerings. Upon
the recent celebration of the sixtieth
anniversary of the church the congre
gftion gave $6,000. Rev. P. N. Tsu, in
charge of the church, said: ‘‘l have
always urged that the congregation
should raise funds for the building of
r new church, but I never expected
that they could succeed in raising such
a large sum of money.”
Mr. Tsu will be in America this win
ter for the purpose of taking a post
graduate theological course.
Opportunity in Japan.
Rev. T. W. B. Demaree, writing
from Matsuyama, under date of Sept.
11, says:
“I am credibly informed that it is
slated in America that our church
has lost its opportunity in Japan. Do
i ot believe it for a minute. The work
has been difficult: it is still diffi
cult. No nation was ever easily Chris
tianized. But there has been going
forward for many years a broad seed
sowing. The harvest is everywhere
spinging up. The Word is not return
ing to us void. Bishop W. B. Murrah,
curing his recent visit, stated his
earnest conviction that Japan is the
gieatest mission field in the world.
The reports for the past year show
si'.ccess at almost every point."
Campaign in Africa.
A campaign, the goal of which is
the conversion of 150,000,000 native
negroes in Africa, was discussed in a
statement issued by Bishop Joseph C.
Hcrtzell. who has just returned from
an eight-months’ tour of Africa in his
capacity of missionary bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church.
“The most serious problem,” Bish
op Hartzell said, “that confronts the
Christian churches in Africa, is to
stem the tide of advancing Moham
nitdanism. At present the Christian
churches are being far out-distanced
in the struggle to convert the natives.”

The Good Samaritan. Luke x:25-37.
Gtiden Text —Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself. Mark xii:3l.
(’) Verses 25-28 —What is the usual
answer in these days to the question,
“What shall I do to inherit tternal
life”?
(2) Why did Jesus say nothing about
faith as a condition for inheriting
eternal life?
(3) If a man anxious to be saved
should know nothing of the doctrine
of faith but hearing and heeding these
words of Jesus, how long need it take
him to find rest for his soul?
(4) If a man starts out with sincer
ity to learn to love God and his neigh
bor, at what stage in the process
would eternal life be given to him?
(5) Explain how r it is possible for
a mortal man to love God with all his
heart and his neighbor as himself?
(This is one of the questions which
may be answered in writing by mem
bers of the club.)
(6) Verse 29 —What does it imply
t.; be a neighbor?
(7) Verse 30 —Suppose it had been
one of the thieves that was found
wounded and half dead, would he have
had the same claim upon the kindness
of the good Samaritan as in the pres
ent case?
(8) Should we regard a bad man in
distress as our neighbor and help him
as readily as we would a good man in
the same condition?
(9) Verses 31-32—Which should
have the prior claim upon our sympa
thy and help and why, the physical or
the spiritual needs of a man?
(10) What do you consider was the
moral and spiritual condition of this
priest and this Levite?
(11) When it is a matter or reliev
ii g physical suffering or rescuing peo
ple from danger what is the evidence
to show that church members are
more ready to help than outsiders?
(12) Verses 33-34 —Would you say
or not, and why, that the church ought
to be as thoroughly organized to help
men physically, as she is to help them
spiritually?
(13) Which is more pleasing to God
and why, an atheist who Is always
doing good deeds like this Samaritan
or a professed Christian who rarely
puts himself out to help those who
are in distress?
(14) Was this Samaritan, judging
him alone by this good deed, neces
sarily a good Christian?
(15) Verse 3f5 —What is the supreme
test of neighborliness?
(16) If a man does not gladly hold
his money subject to the call of God
and his work of mercy what would
you say is his spiritual condition?
(17) Verses 36-37 —Which is the
more important for us to cultivate
and why, the sentimental part of
Christianity or the practical?
