It may be that this is merely the | exuberant verbosity of an advance | agent who holds @ position under this great man, but more likely it is an | attitude which he and his associates of the Christian church. The situa- tion in Kingston looks something like this. Mr. Roofe, secretary for | Mr. Rader, secured some weeks" sup- | ply inBethel church a year ago. While there he organized a committee for the Missionary Alliance of which Mr, | Rader is president, Without consultation with the | ian people of the city generally, ar- rangements are made of prayer and the general Christian community Paul Rader under penalty of other- the Bible for a long time to come.

It is a free country, and people can do what they like with their money, but it is just as well that the Christ- ian public should not lay themselves open to the periodic visitations of peripatetic evangelists whé~ come, stay two days, enlist the co-operation of a few citizens and escape with several hundred dollars--in the ad- ministration of which the donors shall have little or nothing to say. Meanwhile the regular ministry is here and here to stay. The organiz- ations in their various parishes are built up with care, and the work of the ministry in the city deserves the whole-hearted support of the Christ- fan community, If Mr. Rader wishes to organize a work in Kingston with Mr. Roofe, or anyone else at its head, and share with the other Christian bodies the Christian work of the city, this paper will wish him Godspeed. But if he is to make periodic excur- sions which look like an attempt to get away with easy money from the Christian community es a whole, without interdemominational sanc- tion or support, we reluctantly think be must be classed among those travelling evangelists who in the long run are more parasitic than use- ful to the Christian community.
