After a scripture lesson by the pastor. Rev. J. .1. Long, and a song service, Prof. Derrick was introduced in a few highly complimentary remarks by the pastor. Pro.. Derrick expressed gratitude at the privilege or speaKing to mis congregation as it was at this altar lie took the vows of the church and comfenccd with God. The speaker defined the meaning of the word missionary as applied to religion and said that it was a mistaken idea that the religion of Jesus Christ was one 1- - -1- J J _ 1 ,1 wuicn piuuuucu a idee uuu a whining. conipjlaining disposition. On the contrary, it was a religion of jof and optimism wliich teaches how to live here and hereafter. After comparing conditions in Christian America with those in Pagan India, he urged the spreading of the gospel and insisted that if we believed the srosoel we would spread it. He discussed the question as to whether the heathen would be saved if they failed to hear the gospel and asserted that so far as our knowledge goes they could not he saved. He refuted the idea that the great European struggle was evidence of the failure of (Christianity and attributed this great world war to the influence >of the devil. He was insistent in his prase fo r the unselfish and devoted work of the women in the foreign mission field but. he declared with great emphasis that this is a man's job. The speaker closed with an appeal to his old church to take on renewed interest in the subject o* foreign missions. At the close of Prof. Derrick's address Miss Gentry sang a solo while the ladies of the society took up a collection. u ne collection was a very liDeral one and was evidence of the interest of the congregation in the mission cause.
