Such education must be promoted not alone by an annual or semi-annual missionary ser¬ mon, but by inaugurating a campaign of missionary instruction in each part of the organized life of the church, including all the departments of the Sabbath school, the Young People’s Society, the clubs or leagues of men and women, the mid-week prayer meeting and the pulpit. The se¬ cret of ultimate success is the training of a few able leaders to officer and direct this campaign. Therefore the effort must be a continuous campaign, and not a series of assaults. By using the methods suggested in this Handbook, scores of churches have become propagating centers of missionary work whose influence has been felt through¬ out our own land and in foreign fields. Superintendents and teachers of Sunday schools and officers of Young People’s Societies, who of necessity must be the staff officers of the pastors in this cam¬ paign, will find aid also in the suggestions offered. Special attention is called to the suggestions giving the names of books for Sunday-school libraries and for mission study classes. The bibliography is intended to guide pastors in their choice of books for private research. Other missionary leaders in the church will find the lists valuable as an aid in selecting books for the Sunday-school library and the missionary library of the 4 Young People’s Society. With a well selected collection of missionary literature, the missionary meetings and the mission study classes may be made not only informing but inspiring. The missionary committees of the church will be able also to introduce much private reading of mis¬ sionary literature among young and old in the church. The time has come when if the Christian Church is to overtake its opportunity and serve each generation of non-Christians according to the will of God, there must be a revival of mission study, and intelli¬ gent missionary prayer, which will be fol¬ lowed inevitably by a spiritual awakening and consecration of wealth. In order to usher in this missionary awakening most speedily, a statesmanlike policy of mission¬ ary education among the young must be inaugurated. The American Board wishes to serve the churches by providing plans, literature and means of training to leaders in young people’s work, and therefore its young people’s Secretary invites corre¬ spondence from young people at any time on any subject connected with missions, or the cultivation of the personal spiritual life through Bible study. H Feu) Suss^sttons to il)c pastor The following suggestions are made to pastors who earnestly desire to organize their churches for missionary work. It has been the aim in presenting these sug¬ gestions to provide a plan which shall be simple and practical. 1. To represent faithfully to the people by private conversation and public address the needs of the various mission fields and societies. 2. To secure, if possible, a gift from every member of the church to each of the six societies. 3. To preach sermons and make refer- erence to missionary books and heroes in such a way as to encourage reading of missionary literature. 4. To secure wider circulation of the missionary magazines. 5. To extend missionary interests by arranging exchanges with neighboring pastors for this purpose. 6. To co-operate with the officers of the societies in conducting, in the interests of missions, deputations composed of stu¬ dents and other missionary leaders among the churches outside of the large cities. 7. To aid in the organization of train¬ ing institutes for young people’s leaders in connection with meetings of State Asso¬ ciations and District Conferences. 8. To promote public and private prayer for missionaries and their work. 9. In every way possible to strive to raise up a generation of missionaries and missionary leaders by the instruction given in the church. 6 Che Church Missionary Committee In order to provide continuous and pro¬ gressive missionary instruction for the church as a whole, as well as vigorous leadership for systematic giving, pastors will receive splendid service and help from a church missionary committee, composed chiefly of business or profes¬ sional men. The duties of such a com¬ mittee may well be :— 1. To arrange and conduct a regular missionary church prayer meeting. 2. To circulate for private reading the best missionary books and magazines. 3. To keep the church informed on the current events of interest in denomina¬ tional missionary work and missions at large. 4. To conduct a personal canvass to secure personal pledges from each church member before each offering to the Amer¬ ican Board and the other Congregational societies. An increasing number of churches are adopting the plan which involves the organization of a central missionary com¬ mittee of the church, composed of at least the chairman of each separate missionary committee, with the pastor as central chairman. The duties of the committee should be to 'outline, year by year, the general missionary campaign, and to cor¬ relate properly the work of each separate organization, thereby securing progres¬ sion, large objectives and unity of effort, purpose, prayer and faith. i Cbe youns People’s Societp The pastor will be able to strengthen the missionary work among the young people by giving frequent counsel regard¬ ing the following duties of the missionary committee in the Young People’s Society : 1. To conduct monthly missionary meet¬ ings. 2. To organize and conduct mission study classes. 3. To secure a missionary library and to circulate the books. 4. To assist the missionary committee of the church in collecting missionary offerings; or, in case the young people have a different object than that chosen by the church, to secure a gift to missions from every young person in the church. 5. To promote private and public prayer for missionaries, the native leaders, and their work. CDe Sundap School The largest single opportunity of the pastor for raising up a generation of mis¬ sionaries and missionary leaders, is found in the missionary instruction of the Sun¬ day school. In this connection it may be his purpose— 1. To aid, where advisable, in organiz¬ ing the Sunday school into a Sunday- school missionary society, whose officers shall be elected annually by the school, and under whose auspices all the mission¬ ary instruction and giving shall be con¬ ducted. 2. To counsel the superintendent and the president of the Sunday-school mis¬ sionary society regarding the policy of the society. 3. To conduct for a few weeks each year a mission study normal training class for teachers in the Sunday school. 4. To aid the superintendent and the officers of the missionary society in select¬ ing missionary books, maps, charts, and photographs for use in individual classes, and in preparing missionary exercises to be given before the entire Sunday school. s 5. To promote the formation of habits of giving in the life of the individual scholar and class, and to this end to aid in the choice of a specific object for sup¬ port when desirable. (See separate para¬ graph on specific support.) Missionary equipment or the Cburcb In order to do its best work a church needs the following equipment :— 1. A well-selected library of standard missionary books, to which shall be added each year the most important current works, including bound volumes of each of the denominational missionary maga¬ zines, and the Missionary Review of the World. 2. A carefully selected collection of missionary books for children in the Sun¬ day-school library. 3. A map of the world showing the prevailing religions in colors. (See Maps under Literature of the American Board.) 4. For use among the teachers and offi¬ cers of the Sunday school, as well as other missionary leaders in the church, the Geography and Atlas of Protestant Missions, by H. P. Beach. (See History and Geography, under Foreign Missions.) 5. Wall maps of the several mission fields. 6. Hand-made or manufactured charts. 7. Missionary photographs or carefully prepared scrapbooks of half-tone mission¬ ary pictures. 8. Curios from the mission field brought home by missionaries or friends of mis¬ sions who travel. 9. Framed pictures, for the wall, of the world’s greatest missionaries. 9 Support or a Specific Object When a pastor feels that his people will give more liberally, intelligently, and prayerfully through the support of a defi¬ nite object connected with foreign mis¬ sions, the American Board, through its department of the Forward Movement, will make an assignment. The following classes of objects are suggested :— 1. An entire station. 2. A missionary family. $700 to $1,200. 3. One foreign missionary. $3°° to $700. 4. A hospital or dispensary. 5. A native professor or high-grade in¬ structor. 6. A theological seminary, college or boarding school. 7. An outstation, or a group of outsta- tions. $30 to $100. 8. A school with native teacher. $20 to $60. 9. A native preacher or other worker. $20 to $75. 10. A student in a college or theological seminary. $15 to $40. 11. A pupil in a day or boarding school. $8 to $15. Cards and envelopes will be furnished free to any contributing organization, on application, and also neatly printed leaflets for distribution. Address all correspond¬ ence to the Forward Movement Secretary. young People’s Department of the American Board The purposes of the Young People’s Department are as follows :— 1. To transmit to Young People’s Socie¬ ties by correspondence, printed matter, and personal visits of the secretaries, the best methods of missionary work. 2. To serve as a medium of communi¬ cation between the foreign mission fields and the young people of Congregational churches. 10 3. To promote the systematic study of missions. 4. To encourage the purchase of mis¬ sionary libraries and current missionary books. 5. To provide new missionary literature for young people on the missions of the American Board. 6. To aid in training up a generation of intelligent and prayerful missionary leaders. 7. To awaken a revival of prayer for missions. 8. To secure universal adoption of plans for systematic giving among young people. 9. To make missionary work among young people contribute immediately to the development of the spiritual life. 10. To lead young people in increasing numbers to give their lives for missionary work. 11. To make the evangelization of the world a controlling factor in the life of young people. Bibliosrapbp It has been the aim to present in this bibliography a limited number of books, selected from the many on each subject, but together providing ample information on most questions which may be chosen for investigation by a pastor or a mission¬ ary committee. Where more than seven books are given under one heading, the seven at the head of the list are in general considered most important. Orders for books in the lists of Foreign Missions, Home Missions, and the Sunday- school Library will be filled promptly if sent to the Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society, Congregational House, Boston. Correspondence regarding books and literature mentioned under all other head¬ ings may be addressed to the Young Peo¬ ple’s Department of the-American Board, 14 Beacon Street, Boston, where also may be sent inquiry regarding methods of mis¬ sionary work. 11 Foreign missions I.
