Lloyd Smith, Associate Secretary or the Depa,1'tment or Home vMissi-ans for the Canadian Methodist Chu1c`:1. Some people believe that the word missions applies to a class of work being carried on entirely in far oft` lands, such as China and Japan, said Mr. Smith, in opening his address.

But even more wt'ttle'.~t'ttl than that is the l'a-:1 that the world is set towards a moral pt.tt'pr)se, and is as lixevl and that that purpose unchangeatlile as the worhl itself. _ There is no use in \\'ot'i against " this issue for sooner or later those oppose(l to it will be lion-euil to either side with it or go down before it to destruction.
