v FOREIGN MISSIONS. (Continued from page 1.) go without purse and -without scrip." Very well, then, suppose you bundle up and be off for China, Japan or some other foreign field, wherever you feel that you can be of the most service. For Jesus says go ye, and if you are his disciple, he evidently means you. If not, why not? If this demand is not made upon you, upon whom is it made, pray, tell me. Have you ever prayed earnestly over the mat ter, or even thought it over serious ly? Have you ever offered your ser vices to the Lord. Have you ever said, Lord, here am I, send me? Or did you drop a nickle in the basket when he called you, and said Lord, send some one else? or did you give anything at all, if so, how much. Did you ever make a real liberal offering for missions? Do you give as the Lord has prospered j'ou? Does not your very soul go out in deepest anxiety for the millions, who are dying without even so much as having ever heard of CJirist? Do none of these things move you to make a free-will offer ing to help support some one who is willing to carry the gospel to those who have it not? Peter's fearful words to Simon, the sorcer er, were, "Thy silver perish with thee, thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for thy heart is not right before God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee. For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity." This is a fearful arraign ment and an awful sentence, and yet it is doubtless true of many at the present time. On the other hand, if you are not a Christian; the Lord does not re quire any thing at your hands nor should his people expect anj* thing from you. Jehovah says, ''When ye come to appear before me, who hath requir ed this at your hands? Bring no more vain oblations." "Your burnt offerings ?are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto me." "TJie sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more when he bringeth it willi a wicked mind. "While this is tine the wicked have no right to object to the Lord's peo ple contributing of their means to ward the furtherance of God's Kingdom. Xor have they any right to criticise thc Christian worker's plans and methods of work. But the Devil has never ceased to wage a relentless war on Christ and his Kingdom since he first met him on the day he was baptized in that hand to hand conllict on thc moun tain of temptation, and "ne always has in his employ the wisest/gener als, the keenest, shrewdest men, and the most cunning hunters whose ap petites can be tempted and birth rights bought with a bowl of pip ing hot pottage which he always keeps on hand.
