Annual Report Mission Study
Work
No one will deny that the
Christian church of today is fall-
ing short of her possibilities of
winning the world for Christ.
The chief reason is ignorance of
what has been done and is being
done by devoted men and women
on the mission fields at home and
abroad.
We do not study as we should
the great forward ^movements of
the world today and the place of
missions in this movement; we
have not clearly caught Christ's
vision of a world waiting to be
brought to Him. As a result the
church missionary boards are
seriously handicapped for want
of means and consecrated men
and women to carry on this work.
To be a real Christian is in one
sense to be a missionary. As we
study we become interested; as
interest and knowledge increase
we feel the great need and are
moved to take part in it. The
purpose of the study of missions
is to lead each person to feel the
world's need of Christ and to re-
alize his or her own responsibility
as a Christian and take definite
action for the advancement of
Christ's kingdom: be it to give,
to go, or to pray. 1912 marked
the beginning of systematic mis-
sion study in our Aspermont aux.
The interdenominational text
books issued by the Central Com-
mittee on the united study of
missions were used. In the spring
the foreign book, "Western Wo-
men in Eastern Lands," was tak-
en up with about 16 members
studying. In this interesting
book we learned of the hardships
and achievements of our pioneer
mothers—how they had first to
overcome the prejudice against
the education of girls here in our
own country, but their efforts
availed and many of them lived
to see girls' schools and colleges
all over the homeland and women
missionaries in foreign fields do-
ing social,educational and medi-
cal missionary work among the
women of the Orient. In study-
ing the home mission book, "Con-
servation of National Ideals," we
find discussed in it the problems
of alien races and opposing
creeds. The remedy, and our
only safeguard against which, is
the Gospel.
The women of the churches
must be informed as to the pres-
ent situation, the present oppor-
tunities and the present respon-
sibilities; we are to help create a
sentiment in favor of keeping
this nation true to the principles
of its pioneers and loyal to God.
As an auxilliary a knowledge
of these books has broadened our
interests and helps us to appre-
ciate the blessings of Christianity.
There were 33 ladies who read at
least these two books last year,
and some 18 or 20 read other
books of our missionarv collec-
tion. During 1913 we shall use
as last year both honie and for-
eign missionary books, beginning
this spring with "China's New
Dáy.'" This is the latest '
published on China. Let us
gin with earnestness the study of
this country that is now going
through 2 great crisis in her his-
tory. May the 'Study of these
books lead us all to 3. new under-
standing of God's plan arid power
and a new devotion to His cause.
All ladies, especially those of
the Methodist church, are invited
and urged to take part in the
mission study this year. One is
no longer considered well inform-
ed who knows nothing of missions,
because this is today a worldwide
movement.
