THESE are the keynotes of the missionary enterprise. Many sermons have been preached on each of them. A few words must here suffice. Prayer is the most fundamental of them all. It is the source of the vitality and power of every Christian movement; for all power comes from God, and the energies of God respond to prayer. It is not so much the truth that converts men as it is the Holy Spirit using the truth, and the Holy Spirit works in answer to prayer. Examples of its efficacy are exceedingly numerous. The neglect of prayer for missions is one of the crying sins that must be charged against the church to-day. And there are scarcely enough of the right sort that are ready to go. It is true that the student volunteers are much in evidence, and their ranks are supposed to be crowded with eligible candidates. But some of the societies, at least, seek in vain for a sufficiency of men to man their posts and fill the ever-recurring gaps. There is no real plethora. There is still call for downright consecration on the part of those best qualified to do the largest service. Only the best are fit for this highest, most responsible labor. As to giving, the church has yet to begin to wake up to a partial realization of its duty. The number of those who really sacrifice anything for Christ is small. The great majority of the membership never think of denying themselves even a dish of ice cream, or an extra street-car fare, that they may have a share in saving the world. Sixty per cent of all members, it is estimated, give nothing to this cause. An average of one dollar a member is certainly not beyond the ability of the churches; but if it could be secured, it would treble the contributions and revolutionize results. Moreover, what an effect it would have on the enrichment of character; how vision would be broadened, sympathies enlarged, joys deepened, and the whole Christian life quickened.
