^ STEWARDSHIP AND MISSIONS
Acts 1 :6-£; 2 Corinthians 8:1-9
Kev Samuel I'rice, D D.
It has been well said that the Church is the force, but the world is the
field. There is that in Christianity that makes its ap|K*al to share with’’
others, as is evidenced in no other religion. It is not a question of propor
tion to obtain a world mastery but to give that others may enter into like
precious joys and blessings.
The Bible is still the greatest missionary book. The selected portions
for intensive study this time are (tencsis 12:1-3; Deuteronomy 8:17,18;
Jonah 3 1-10, Malacht 3J-L2; M.atthew .28.18-21D 4-:S 8; i3:l-3:
2ft 12-20; Romans 1:14-16; 1 Corinthians 16:2; 2 Corinthians 8:1-15; 9:1-9
'1 l*ooks for farther study covering each portion of the title, are
“< 1 rising Foreign Missions,” Clcland B. McAfee, and “Money, the Acid
Tc" ’ James McConaughy.
Ai raham was a great foreign missionary as he journeyt*<l from
Mrs potamia to Canaan and began the life of the Israelites in Palestine.
Hr followed the call of Jehovah and had Imsic part in l>eing the Father
of thr Faithful and no race can compare in with the Hebrews in their
contribution to the world. Moses can well Ik* classed with Abraham, as
he led the nation from !>ondagr to the borders of the Promised I .and.
Jonah distinctively a missionary Imm>k as it records how his preaching
led the Nmcvitcs to repentance.
Rapid developments come with the closing of the earthly worked
Jesus Christ. He purposed that all mankind should I* blessed in his com- 1
plctcd work and g^\c the < treat Commission to the eleven disciples when
in Cnliler He told tflem to "Make disciples of all nations.** They were to
tear!: and baptize. As they were «tf*edient they were promised “l.o I am
with you always, even unto the end of the world” The Acts of the
Apostles is a history of the fidelity of the early Church in <4trying their
Lord’s command. Paul Inrcamc the mighty apostle to the Gentiles.
It costs to accomplish any program. Giving is spontaneously an act
of worship. This is recognized in every religion of the earth. P»ut no
work can lx* maintained by s|tasm<»dic gitts. Today wc talk aUiut making
a budget and this surely applies in connection with our contrihuti<tns to
help make the Great C ommistion effective Throughout the Old Testament
wc find that the Hebrew practised the principle of tithing. Malachi asks
that the "whole tithe" !*■ given over. This means honesty in administra
tion But thr Hebrew did far more than give a tenth. He added many
free will and thank offerings It is calculated that the Pharisee con
tributed at least one fourth of his earnings.
We must give both proportionately and systematically, l^rt thr tithe
be tht minimum. I-ist week a man said to the writer that hr planned to
give for the Lords work at least as much as he sjx’nt on his home and
personal expenses. Paul taught the principle of weekly giving fr«xn the
anwnmt already laid up in store. This apostle was always taking up an
offering for the i>oor saints in Jerusalem and he was a blessing to them
each time he hel;»ed them share with others less blessed. One said that
Personal consecration means “purse and aJl" consecration.

Havana, Cuba.—Mystic voodoo rites
practiced In many parts of the United
States have been linked by recent in
vestigation with the cult of Xanigoism
In Cuba.
Comparative analysis of African
sacrificial customs have furnished un
usual evidence that both had a corn-
men origin in the Congo jungles and
that voodoolsm reached the American
continent by the Importation of slaves
from Cuba and Haiti.
“Obenh,” a mild form of voodoolsm.
Is practiced In Cuba and the British
West v Indies with virtually identic
corflinonion^ Xegsoes who came ur Ta-
back to the minds of the guests their
happy childhood days. Sandwiches
and Russian tea were served.
The Williston School Improvement
association met at Williston grammar
school Tuesday afternoon with a
splendid attendance. Miss Celeste
Kent presented the first grade in a
number of songs, recitations and a

Mrs. T. C. Hair is visiting relatives

court in Columbia Monday as a

bor In Cuban sugar cane fields have
brought to this Spanish-speaking Is
land not only the Oheah but also the
far more terrible and sanguinary rite
of Xinilga. The high priests and
priestesses of these cults have shown
great powers of resistance to the sup-
presslve measures of the police.
Cuba has dealt severely with voo-
doolsfti, and it is believed that its more
ghastly forms have fK*en eliminated.
It was largely In connection with the
government's campaign against Oheah-
Dm and X.inigoism that measures
were adopted curtailing the Immigra
tion of Illiterate workers from Haiti
and Jamaica.
Takes Criminal Aspect.
Oilba has been particularly con
cerned because yimhIooDiii here takes
on a criminal aspect entirely exclu
sive of the porfsibility of human sacri
fice. In • province, whicil lies

that Island wield large (towers. In
other (tarts of the Island Xanigtdsm Is

their religion In this form.
Xanigoism Is a combination of devil
woraMp ami gang spirit. Its priests
promise occult (towers to hrw break
ers. and iiiemltors of this cult are
pledged to render nil possible protec
tion and assistance to each other.
.Vs far as can be learned the sym
bolism of tlie cults Is very similar.
Ajl Include the sacrifice of roosters,
black cals, goats and other animals.
Cuban police records show cases
where the perpetrators of murder in
conncH’tion with voodoolsm have been
brought to justice, but It is claimed
that this type of sacrifice has been
eradicated.
Havana newspapers continue to
chronicle cases of Xanigo outrages
committed against those who have in
curred the enmity of the gangsters. It
has been found that there is always
some one willing to carry out the
priests’ orders, because a Xanigo
neophyte fails of membership unless
he lias one capital crime to his credit.

takes place in the presence of three
witnesses,, and the cat is thrust into
hot water. It is related by voodooists
that supernatural manifestations, such
as thunder and lightning, are an ac
companiment of this process.
In the early years of the Nineteenth
century Jean La Fitte, famous pirate of
the Spanish Main, frequently brought
slaves to Cuba and the United States.
His principal market in the United
States was New Orleans and this fact
is now being used to explain the par
ticularly close similarity between the
voodoolsm of Cuba and that of the
lower Mississippi valley.
There is a tradition that La Fitte’s
entourage included several African
“conjur doctors.”
The successors of these doctors to
day have considerable knowledge of
herbs and the curative properties of
plant Juices. In general they are em
ployed to effect cures, but with other
herbs the doctor-priests qge said to

Thlf belief appears substantiated by

little more‘chemical minded, oil for
soaps and butter substitutes, it is
hard to bring home the lm|K)rtunce of
coconuts for the brown people of the

So when the innumerable sluglike
caterpillars of the moth culled levu-

the coconut tree in Fiji, and threat
ened to spread over the whole South
Pacific area, there was consternation.
The insect had a host of natural
enemies, but they did not seem too be
able to make any impression on its
swarming numbers.
Then one day the tiny flies of the
family tachlnidas, a species known as
ptychomyla remota, was brought over
