It was the oe casion of a Laymen's Missionary ban- quet in the lecture ball of Sydenham street church. About 150 men from city and rural corigregations partook of a sumptuous repast provided by the Woman's Association. | Abraham Shaw was chairman. Rev. Mr. Sine, Gananoque, offered prayer. { Rev, J. T. Pitcher, Gananoque, chair man of the Kingston district, was the first speaker. He rejoiced in the mis- sionary revival taking place in all the { churches. One thing which he regretted {in the Methodist church was the small {number of our young men volunteer- ling for the ministry. The chief reason for this was the passing of the class- meeting, where the young were taught to pray amd testify. We have the preachers, but we have to import a great many. The next speaker was Mr. Amold Toronto, secretary of the Laymen's Missionary Movement oh the Metho- dist church in" Canada. Ii an elo- quent address he pointed out the im- portance of grasping the opportunity of evangelizing world within this generation. Seventy per cent. of our givings goes ta the hore field. Thous- ands were coming to our country, a vast majority settling in the miles from churches, all about the God and His Pook. While he believed we lived in the fair- est land on the globe, it we did not reach our. own people our nation, which was to be, would be a hind- rance to the world, instead of being a blessing, Mr. Arnold, in accounting | for the other thirty per cent. of the givings, reviewed the wonderful change | in the foreign field within the last ten ! vears. The advance of Japan and | China in education, efe., was 1 and the crises which Turkey, India, "Arabia and South America were pass- { ing through. The world was ready for a great forward movement, and vears would decide its spiritual des- tiny. Was the church gomg to carry out the command of the Master ? Mr. O'Flynn, K.C., of Belleville, was the next speaker, and in a stirring address, struck the patriotic note, He traced the history ob our natiom, the British nation from the earliest Anglo-Saxon times. The position of our country was clearly stated, and (as Mr. Arnold said) now is the hour to do what God intends---the laying of the foundation of a Chistian na- tion. The West needs men and money, but if we get the men interested at home, the money will be forthcoming. A resolution was moved! by Dr, Anglin, seconded by T. I. Harrison, that the gathering should pledge it. self to pray for the men on the field, and increase its offering by the du plex system for missions, and it was west, | and forgetting | noted, | ten | i By Louis Tracy.
