Heveéron, was unanimously taâ€" dorked by a gathering of over . one hundred Waterloo men who were presâ€" ent at the first missionary nnmi given in the Free Library Hall â€" day evening, in connection with the Laymen‘s Missionary Movement. The enthusiasm aroused by the eloquent, practical and timely addresses of the speakers of the evening, Messrs. . N. F. Davidson, K. C., and . Matthew Parkinson of Toronto, is & happy augury that the men of Waterloo are willing to do their share in . the work of world evangolization. An outcome of the meeting was the . forâ€" mation of a Laymen‘t sociation in Waterloo Gathered about the tables . which were tastily decorated in â€" red and white, were representatives from the evangelical churches of the â€" town. After partaking ol the most appetiz< ing spread provided by the ladies, Mr. Thos. Hilliard who acted _ as chairman, called on Rev. Mr.â€" Hockey to open the meeting with _ prayer, after which Mr. Hilliard welcomed those present and referred briefly to the laymen‘s missionary . movement. He said he was especially glad to see so many of the younger . men present. ‘The laymen everywhere were intezesting themselves in the work which indicated that they were arousâ€" ed to a realization of the importance ol the matter. ie Following the singing of a hbymn, led by a quartette composed of Mesâ€" srs. J. Bruegeman, H. Hahn, D. B. Musselman and J. Ellis, ~ the chairâ€" man called upon Mr. Davidson, K.C., to address the meeting. _ Mr. Davidson aroused ‘ enthusiasm by the eloquence with which he â€" deâ€" scribed the movement which had for its object the bringing of the whole old world to Christ. What have misâ€" sions meant to the average â€" town* the speaker asked. He averred it only meant an unworthy fiirting with the subject. Two out of every three , in the world had never heard . ol Jesus Christ, and to show the little done to prosscute the work, two out of every three of the communiâ€" cant members of the church gave . noâ€" thing. . It was necessary â€"â€" that . our religion stood for something, and thing. . It was necessary that â€" our religion stood for something, and there was reason to believe that the spirit of God was abroad in the land today, evidenced in the> laymen‘s missionary movement, Happiness, the speaker said, is not found in _ self #eeking, but in exercising one‘s influâ€" ence in behalf of one‘s fellowmen. _A life of service was the only normal life for man. At the gonterence of world experts on missions at . Edinâ€" burgh it was concluded that . until there was a regeneration of the home church and professing Christians the evangelization of the world was an impossibility. The greatest problem of foreign missions wasâ€" how . to multiply the praying members at home. _ The power of organized men i"' limitless andâ€"great work could be accomplished by organizing. -l!t was MEETING OF LIBRARY BOARD necesgary to take stock of what you are doing for yoursel{ and what you are doing jfor those outdide _ the church.

Mr. Parkinson. «â€" _ u.. _ s Nir. arkinson followed with a forceâ€" ful adc : illumined with® wit : and humor. The possibility of evangulit ing the world in this generation was the theme of his remarks. Referring to the command of Christ to go into all the world and preach the _ gospel to every living creature, he said . it was intenided that men should . perâ€" htnthlmm-.‘l" command will be fuldlled and thie only question was what part we should take â€" in this great world movement, ‘in: ‘this ocms : comer ce a enc io mihc ds * generaiion. _ The speaker submitted that if you teach a number equal to the number that are born each year this could be: accomplished. The church ‘hould unite its forces and he believâ€" e4 shat church union was ‘one of the signs> He gave three reasons for beâ€" lieving that the ‘evangelization of the world would be accomplished in this generation. First. There never was any generation: existing that could have done it.â€" Until the presont ~age the world was not opened. The doors were nowstanding open for religion, education, gommerce, eto, God openâ€" ed these doors and the purpose was that the gospe!l might go through. * Second. This:is the first age in which God put into Christion hands the wealth of the world. and _ that wealth shall be consecrated. to Chrisâ€" tianize the world. The wealth ‘Is held in trust for God. ‘Third. Through the inventive . genâ€" ius of man no part of the earth is far removed. This was : a â€" greater miracle than even those performed in the‘ days of Christ. We have now one commercial nationhood. Itâ€"was. now proposed to bind it into one Chrisâ€" tian Brotherhood. The speaker. â€" gave figures showing the lnq increase in givings since the laymen‘s misgionary movement was . inaugurated, citing cases where the givings to missions had increased several fold. It was found that many werp stimulated ‘ to increage their contribntions â€"to â€" the home church also, 5 Wiee Association Formed. Mr.: P. F.
