Missions and Comparative Expenditures

By Editor

AN old story is told again in a forcible way in our diagram of comparative expenditures for things necessary and things unnecessary. What a comment it is on the “Christian nation” assumption that intoxicating liquors should be at the top, and missions at the bottom, of the list. And yet the principal factor in mission work is not money, but that Spirit which can be had “without money and without price.” Men may be “the poor of this world” and yet be “rich in faith.” The great question in missions is not how much money is spent, but how many souls are saved.
