I am not ashamed." Then I find that overwhelming sense of compassion which made him say, "I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ." Then I find the sense of stern loyalty to truth which made him resist Peter to the face-"I resisted him to the face." Finally, I find that sense of method which made him put into a sentence the burning desire of his heart as he said, "I must also see Rome."

Truly this was the great apostle, the great pattern for all time of those who would desire to be apostles, messengers, missionaries of the cross of Christ.

Yet I am compelled to return to the fundamental statements with which I began. If these are the mental attitudes, what is the spiritual fact? "To me to live is Christ." So that as I look at Paul, the apostle, the missionary, the last thing I have to say is not of the great apostle, but of the great Christ, the One who took hold of this man, and revealing himself within him, unveiling his glory to his inner consciousness, drove him forth, and made him such as he was. Christ diffused through Paul will not help us. It is good to see Paul, to know what Christ can do; but we must indeed get to Christ himself if we would enter into fellowship even with Paul. If the vision of the great apostle shall drive us to his Lord, then how great and gracious will be the result. If we will but make his surrender, "What shall I do, Lord?": if we will take up this attitude toward the things we have counted best, counting them but loss that we may win Christ: if we will but enter into the experience which he expressed in the words, "To me to live is Christ:"-what then? First, he will not make us Pauls, but he will make us his own. Though he may never send us over continents and among such perils, all that matters nothing, for it is local, and incidental merely. He will send us where he would have us go, and he will make us what he would have us be, and through us-oh, matchless wonder of overwhelming grace-the light of his love may shine, and the force of his life may be felt.

We cannot have this Christ-life within us without having clear vision, and without having driving compassion, and without having the dynamic which makes us mighty. We cannot have Christ within us and be parochial. Christ overleaps the boundaries of parish, society, and nation, and his clear vision takes in the whole world. If Christ be verily in us we shall see with his eyes, feel with his heart, be driven with his very compassion.

"If I have eaten my morsel alone!'

The patriarch spoke in scorn;

What would he think of the Church, were he shown
Heathendom, huge, forlorn,

Godless, Christless, with soul unfed,

While the Church's ailment is fulness of bread,
Eating her morsel alone?

"I am debtor alike to the Jew and the Greek,'
The mighty apostle cried;

Traversing continents, souls to seek,

For the love of the Crucified.
Centuries, centuries since have sped;
Millions are famishing, we have bread,
But we eat our morsel alone.

"Ever of them who have largest dower
Shall heaven require the more.
Ours is affluence, knowledge, power,
Ocean from shore to shore;

And East and West in our ears have said,
Give us, give us your living Bread.
Yet we eat our morsel alone.

“Freely, as ye have received, so give,

He bade, who hath given us all.
How shall the soul in us longer live,
Deaf to their starving call,

For whom the blood of the Lord was shed,
And his body broken to give them bread,

If we eat our morsel alone?"

The Sunday School as a Missionary Force

By A. C. MONRO

From or through the Sunday-schools and Young People's Societies in Great Britain the Baptist Missionary Society receives one-fourth of its annual income, the Wesleyan Missionary Society, one-fifth of its annual income, the London Missionary Society over one-seventh of its annual income. The total contributed through the young people, to these three societies, and I take it they are representative of all others, amounts to roughly not less than £65,000 annually.

These figures show that some societies work the Sundayschool mine to greater profit than others.

I give these figures to bring before you the fact that the Sunday-school is a force-a potent force-in the missionary world to-day.

But it is nothing like the force it might be made. What the Sunday-school, working up to the summit of its possibilities could do for foreign missions, it has not yet entered into the mind of man to conceive. Create missionary interest and enthusiasm, translate them into effort, wisely lead, and the Sunday-school will provide men, women, and money enough to banish all present burdens weighing on our Societies, and send them along with new and added power to spread the light of the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am going to tell the simple story of what a Sunday-school has done, and is doing to-day for missions.

It is necessary that I should first give you some details of the school whose doings I am to describe, and when I say "school" please understand I mean Christian Endeavor Societies also, for they share to the full in all the work recorded. It is situated in the Southeast of London, in the Borough of Camberwell and in its Parliamentary Division of Peckham. When I have mentioned that fact no vision
