Remember
That the Woman’s Foreign
Missionary Society holds its
regular monthly meeting next
Monday afternoon, 4 o’clock at
the Methodist church. Subject
for the meeting, I( How christi
anity is changing Korea”, and
the object of the meeting is to
realize that now is Korea’s crisis
hour, and that the church should
now take advantage of her golden
opportunity. If you are a me in¬
here of the Fort Valley Auxiliary,
will you not carefully, prayer¬
fully plan to attend this meeting
next Monday afternoon?
Mr John R Moot has recently
returned from a visit through the
far East. Among many other
things, he says this—“There is
one body of Christians in Korea,
which during the year had nearly
10.000 accessions. The field is
dead ripe! It is the last time
for the church to withhold her
hand from thrusting in the
sickle”. If the rank and file of
the church in the home land,
responds to the present crisis
and opportunity, Mr Mott says
that Korea will be the first now
Christian nation to be,'thoroncT, y
evangelized in this modern
: foreign missionary epoch.
Will you carefully note the
following comparisons?.

c t Say not ye, There yet four
are
months,and then cometh harvest;
behold I say unto you, Lift up
your eyes and look on the fields,
for they are white already to
harvest.” John 4, 35. “The har¬
vest truly is pientious, but the
laborers are few. Pray ye there¬
fore the Lord of the harvest, that
IJe»will send fort!} laborers into
His harvest”. Matt, 9, 36, 37.
It was said of Gossner, that he
prayed open both hearts and
pocket books. Having the same
promises which were his, may
not we pray workers into the
field, and money into empty
treasuries.
