PROGRAMME The Church's Great Commission TO THE ELEVEN IN THE UPPER ROOM When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them. Peace he unto you. And when He had said this, He shewed unto them His hands and His side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. Jesus therefore said to them again. Peace he unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost .—Saint John, Go ye into ait the voorld, and preach the gospe : to the whole creation .—Saint Mark. Thus it is Written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day ; and that repentance and remis¬ sion of sins should he preached in His name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. —Saint Luke. ON THE MOUNTAIN IN GALILEE All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things what¬ soever I commanded you ; and lo, I am faith you at way, even unto the end of the faorld .—Saint Matthew. ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES But ye shall receive power, fahen the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall he my witnesses, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when He had said these things, as they were looking, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight.—The Acts. And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them.—Saint Mark.

Sloan, China Inland Mission. Alternate Meeting (Central Presbyterian Church) “ As the Father has sent Me, even so send I you.” Leader, Rev. James A. Cunningham, M.A. TUESDAY, APRIL 24 “ Preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom.” “The same commit thou to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also.” Leader, Bishop Ridley, New Caledonia, B. C. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25 “ Teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ.” Leader, The Right Rev. T. W. Dudley, D.D., Bishop of Kentucky. THURSDAY, APRIL 26 “ In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord.” Leader, Rev. J. Fairley Daly, Free Church of Scotland. FRIDAY, APRIL 27 “God is able to make all grace abound toward you ; that ye always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work.”—2 Cor., 9, 8. Leader, Hon. William J. Nortpien. Georgia. SATURDAY, APRIL 28 “ I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions, and on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit.” Leader, Bishop O. P. Fitzgerald, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Alternate Meeting (Central Presbyterian Church) “ I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the unwise.” Leader, Rev. J. H. Laughlin, China. MONDAY, APRIL 30 “And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to hea the sick.” Leader, Henry Foster, M.D., Founder of Clifton Springs Sanitarium. 4 MONDAY, APRIL 30 Alternate Meeting (Central Presbyterian Church) “ There are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books which should be written.” Leader, Rev. C. F. Reid, D.D., Korea. TUESDAY, MAY I “ The administration of this service not only supplies the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God.” Leader, Hon. S. B. Capen, LL.D. If the Conference is to carry the Church forward with it into the new century in the “fulness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ,” it must itself be lifted and carried through on a flood-tide of prayer. The outposts of the battle line of the Christian Church are con¬ fronted by overwhelming numbers to be taught, and the cry that comes back to us is for a ten-fold reinforcement to meet the pressure of this appalling host of men and women without knowledge of Christ. The Conference ought to answer this cry by arousing the Church to a united forward movement for the permanent occupation of every unevangelized land, by establishing stations fully manned with a force competent to teach, as well as to preach, “ all things he has commanded” us. —Letter to Churches . Rely not on a single prayer in matters of great concernment, but make it as public as you can by obtaining of others to pray for you ; this being the great blessing of the communion of saints, that a prayer united is strong, like a well-ordered army; and God loves to be tied fast with such cords of love, and constrained by a holy violence. —Jeremy Taylor, “Holy Living." The evangelization of the world in this generation depends, first of all, upon a revival of prayer. Deeper than the need for men ; deeper, far, than the need of money ; aye, deep down at the bottom of our spirit¬ less life, is the need for the forgotten secret of prevailing, world-wide prayer. The condition and consequence of such prayers as this is a new outpouring of the Holy Ghost. Nothing short of His own suggestion will prompt the necessary prayer to bring Him back again in power. Nothing short of His new outpouring will ever solve the missionary problems of our day. May God give it to each one of us !—the secret and sweetness of unceasing, prevailing, triumphant prayer for the coming of the king¬ dom of the Lord Jesus Christ .—Robert Speer . No language can describe the value of the blessings which are con¬ veyed to a single idolater who becomes a disciple of Christ ; a thousand sources of sorrow being instantly dried up, and a thousand streams of happiness bursting forth at ©nee to gladden him .—Baptist Noel. 5 INDEX BY DAYS.

People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. Can that he called a sacrifice which is simply paid back as a small part of a great debt owing to our God, which we can never repay? Is that a sacrifice which brings its own best reward in healthful activity, the consciousness of doing good, peace of mind, and a bright hope of a glorious destiny hereafter ?
