P.y SOUTHERN MISSIONARY NEWS BUREAU. Ida Clyde Clarke, Editor. 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.

The failure to j adequately provide food, medicine pud other necessaries, might cost a life, or even many lives. “There has been much to encovn age me in the initial stage of this en , terprise. Many personal letters have | been received from friends in the i United States who have pledged their I dally prayers in our behalf. Added to | these is the fervent Intercession v-liich Is constantly being made by fully 2,000 of our Brazilian converts. These have given a substantial guar antee of their interest by contribut ing SI,OOO for the support of a mis sionary and surplus of S2OO to be ad ded to the fund for the second year This is remarkable and full of in spiration when we remember that the first annual conference was organ ized in Brazil twenty-five years ago, a. which time there was not one sin gle Brazilian preacher who was eligi ble for membership. “Upon reaching England, I found a letter from Dr. W. F. McMurry, secretary, of the church extension board, saying that he had $1 440 In hand towards the building of three houses for the three missionary fam ines and would guarantee $1,560 more. In addition to this a brother in the state of Arkansas had sent him SI,OOO for the building of a church. “Three days later a cablegram reached me from Rev. T. L. Rippey, a friend deeply interested in the mis sion, promising to send $1,500 as a THE BARTOW TRIBUNE, JANUARY 15, 1914. j Christmas present for the buliding of a hospital.

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. “Tonight, Brother Mangum and I leave London for Antwerp, prepara tory to sailing with our entire party on Saturday, next, November 8. We are much favored in having the com pany of Dr. M. M- Morrison, of Luebo, v. ho is returning to the Southern Pres byterian mission station at that point. We go in the strength of the Lord and with implicit faith that Jesus is with us in accordance with His prom ise. He alone is able to save Africa. “I need hardly make the request of you that you pray for us by name, day by day, as we advance upon our per ilous but glorious mission. It is a high privilege to pioneer such work on virgin soil. We go where no mis sionary’s foot has ever trod, as far a- we know. “God be with you till we meet again. “Sincerely your friend and brother, “(Signed) W. R. LAMBUTH.” The Chinese Church.

It not only pushes on its work among the Chinese, but it ministers also to 29 congregations of English and Americans, thus trying to keep those who come from other lands firm in the- Christian ideals and stan dards which are so hard to keep in the orient. 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 tire house-hold (with no infants). We 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* which is self-sustaining, a theological seminary, for which plans are drawn for a $17,000 building, about $4,500 annual contributions from the church es, and steps are being taken to open, In co-operation with the Cuban Bap tists, a mission in Santo Domingo. 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.” FOR SAE OR RENT —A fine grocery and market stand in best section of Cartersville. See GEO. D.

(’) 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?

(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?
