Challenging -Message of Inspiration Ouoting Three Causes for Misgiving Featured Week of Prayer Service Bowmanville churches and their ministers united- Friday ev- sening in the annuai Week of Prayer service, held in St. Paul's 1 United Cburch, when Rev. W. A. iCameron, D.D., Toronto, was the *speaker. The inspiring service 1 cf prayer and guidance was spon. sored by the Bowmanvilie Min- isterial Association. Rev. Warren N. Turner, rector of St. John's Anglican Churcin and president of the Ministeria] Association, conducted the service 1 and- welcomed the speaker, par- ticipating ministers and congre- gation. Prayer was offered by Rev. Hudson J. Haziett, Tiiiscnburg, wbo last week conducted prayer services at the Evangelistic Centre, and Lieut. John Ham cf the Saivation Army, read pass- ages of scripture. A prayer cf Tbanksgiving and Intercession was offered by 11ev. T. A. Morg- an cf Trinity United .Church. Dr. W. A. Camenon was intro- duced by Rev. Alex G. Scott cf St. Andrew's Presbyterian Cburcb. Dr. Cameron, at pres- cnt secretary of the Presbyterian Board cf Foreign Missions, bas visited mission fields in Formosa, Britisb Guiana and India, and bnougbt a message of inspiration te bis isteners. Taking bis text from part cf verse 18, chapter 16 of St. Matth- ew, "the gates of bell shah nat prevail against it", Dr. Cameron evoked a picture of the Cburcb as a strong advancing army con- fronting the stronghold of Evil. Tcday, after 1900 years cf Chnis- tianity, we have misgivings about the Church as a conquering force. Why is this, Dr. Cameron asked. Dr. Cameron spoke cf tbnee of the causes for misgiving in the world cf today. He pointed eut that there is stili much pagan- ism in the Chnistian warid, oun observance of Christmas being one instance. Anothen cause fer misgîving is that se mucb cf the worid is stîi non-Christian, with India, for example, having not mare than I lé belenging ta the evangelicai church, and Spaip only 20,000 people. Another great cause for mis- giving is the progress cf Com- munism. Dr. Cameron s a i d. Nothing bas equalled its advance. pWhy? the speaker queried. We may say it is due ta the power of the sword, an ta the failure of for- mer gov'ernments, but sbould we net ask ourselves wbctber part ef the responsibility is net ours? In Russia under the Czars, the cburch was for the upper classes. Regarding Communism in China today, the Mission Board is seriously studying the question, "Are we to blame?" Some say that there may have heen too much institutionaiism, that the Church has not placed enough responsibility wîth the converted Chinese; that the Church bas told of a hetter life after death and not given sufficient aid to earth- ly, physicai troubles. If this is true, Dr. Cameron said, there is reason for us to ask for forgive- ness. Are there signs of encourage- ment? Dr. Cameron asked in con- clusion. He felt that there are stili doors open to the spread of the gospel, but we must ask our- selves, "Have we been playing at this thing, or are we an army that cannot be defeated, led by the Captain who knows not the mean- ing of defeat?"
