Committee On Missionary Instruction is Needed.

A missionary policy for Indiana local Bible schools suggests a committee on missionary instruction in each Bible school, chosen or appointed, whose business it shall be to see missionary information is procured and dispensed either by the individual teacher or from the desk.

The matter of giving for missions will become simple when the needs are clearly understood. The subject of missions as a life work, brought to the attention of the boys and girls, may bring blessed results. . . Children should receive missionary instruction from the cradle roll up. Fill their minds so full of real worth-while things, there will be no room for evil. Who that has a son or daughter, but has realized the need of beginning Jqr childhood' the influence for better things. As one realizes how often the one hour spent in the Bible school is the only time in the week for close personal contact, let us make* the most of it. Mission study is broadening, enlarging to the mind, opening constantly new lines of thought and fields for work. It is necessary for us to know about a subject to be interested in it. To know of the missionary fields, the workers, the natives and the problems to be met, is to become interested in their behalf. The past year our country just lacked one of being listed as front line in mission instruction. Falling short of required per cent just one. Was that your school? Do you have missions taught systematically? If not, why not? Won’t you write to your township missionary secretary or the undersigned to obtain help? We would be glad to give help for your particular need. Do not omit this important line of work in your school.

Mrs, A. P. BURTON,

County Missionary Secretary.
