That's what I'm living for, anc*
that's "what really counts." (
It's what we're living for that ,

Appeals for i
Mission
K y dear Chritian Friends:
It is again that we come face to
ace with the Great Commission
)t the church cvliicli is to preach .lie
gospel to the known world,
slever in the history of the world
ins therAvorTd known sp much of
t' .
nan's relation to man a.-r today.
fhts~ knowtedgertitTm'dlnjr to the
laying of vmr Master, involves is
with -a-- greater responsibility^'or
where there is much known,
hero is much required. We can
lo;tk of ignorance and ery that.-we-!ii
not kno.crfor every land upon'""
he globe, all of the, -fifty-three
nillion square miles of populated
irea has been brought to the view
>f man.
Amid this great discovery the
rhristfan church fine's herself ~oE?igated
for the spread of the Gosiel
of Jcsus Christ to the~entire
vorld. If we Ye to jiakl ami-warn- j
:afn the great forces that have
-ten?built by Christendom, we
uust retrench ourselves by conserated
efforts to see that the tin:old
millions who have not heard
he gospel be taught the word of
jod. It is now that we are to
five our great .support to the train
ng of missionaries and to the
uristng of funds to build mission"
stations that;. jr. order thaf u/litin he
opportunity permits the crossng
of the seas we may go into
jvery land that Providence will
juide us to and play our part in
lelping to bring the Kingdom of.
iJod on earth by helping to estabish
it in the hearts of meii__and vomen
throughout the world.
May each one of us join in with
:he great program that has been
arranged by the Executive Board
?f the National Baptist Conven-J
iion of America ta secure at least I
j?ou,uuu oy trie coming of the
great meeting- to be held in September
in San Antonio, Texas. As
necretarv of the Foreign MissiouSoard,
I am asking that every man
would join us in'this_ program for
education and -mission that crur
work, bath educational and missonary,
upon the home and foreign
fields, be thoroughly strengthed to
meet the great task of the church.
We are very anxious to build
ufTicient housing quarters in ev.
?ry field of our missionary activity
so as to not only give comfort
to those who labor as missionaries.
r-ut also to build recognition for
the work of our board in these respective
fields. We shall not hestate
to ask for the thousands that
ire needed for the cause of spread
ng the gospel when others are
talking in terms of Tnissions for
lestruction. Let us awake and
issume our God given opportuntv
to bless the world while the
wils of the aggressors or the
-arth is trying to destroy it.
Send in your contribution today.

we are being exposed orv'Th^lFmie

chat is becoming more and more

feel how futile it is for them to
be conscientious in an all-out war
effort, whi'.e the 'higher-ups aie

wave of absenteeism is a rough
measure of a lack of morale rooted
primarily in the political-much:nations
of- Great? Britain and the
United States.. . _
\NOTHKR BLOODY Ft"ROE
Bloody purgism is not now. It
has reared its crimson Read
throughout the chaptered "TtJurse of
history. The bloody purge in Rus1a
of recent decades brought it
vividly to mind and so the bloody
uurge of Hitler. Just whether this
-courge is on its way out or- just
arriving we have no way of knowing.
But bloody purgism gets certain
results. When Ttussia had
inished its bloody purge this
nighty nation was wrought into
one of the most powerful wat
machines of history. When Germany
had accomplished its bloody
purge The Nazis have become
war machine that moves the na.
tions to awe and amazement
