tion. He said In part:
'The text is: "As the Father has

r The - appointment - of the twelve
apostles was' the most 'momentous
achievement of - Jesus' earthly ,: minis
try, for In that moment he laid the
foundation' stone of the church, and
in that act he declared . for all ' time
the . method by which the Kingdom oi
God was to be built up. It marked
also a turning point in his. own- life
work. ' V - 2 .' . -' c.. v; i ': ' -

intense - that ; be clearly , foresaw the
ultimate ' outcome1 , : and : realized ; that
if the truth about God. which He had
begun . to . reveal, 'was not - to r perish
with Him, He must appoint messen
gers who should bear the Good, Word
to "the many whom he could not hope
to reach. ' - v ,
- And so "He called his disciples, and
He chose from them twelve whom he
.also 'named aposUes.". ' - ': r '
That, is all we are told;; but - the
AS. - .-
- 'r
Owing to
j full significance of that seemingly
simple act cannot be measured. These
were the men upon whom hung the
future fate of Christianity.
Today we present the formal com
mission of the American' -Board of
Qommissioners to oir -brother ' and
sister who are soon to Journey on
ward to China, there to assist others
who have already preceded them in
teaching the principles of the Chris
tian 'r Melon tnvthp rislnr P0nralinn
in that nejv republic. y !
Christ has railed them to be apo-t
ties, and today they anfcwet that call!
ls they accept from the church thir

. As they go, they will bear the same
message as did the first apostle6,
staying to the young men and youn
women of China, as they Ehall teach
them and lead them into service:! offenders wll be reached by nota
"The Kingdom of Heaven is at band." ticng which will be made In the daily

those who are still bound by ignor
ance and superstition.
' As we, the members of this church,
In this commission service, link ourr
selves to them for the accomplish
ment of this work, shall we not also
in this hour determine anew, each of
r.s, to accept -our-mission and" go
forth as - apostles for Christ:- if ; not
into some foreign field, then out into
this community and where the need
is so great and the laborers still too
few.-, -
We are all called to be apostles,
every one of us who confesses to be
lieve in-Christ. Just as truly as are
these, our brother and sister, who go
as missionaries to China. "Let us
then." as we join hand with hand,
pledge ourselves heart and heart to
be true to 1 our apostleship, remem
bering the words of our Master; "As
the Father has sent Me, even so send
I you." - "
There is' one ' Question which every
honest disciple must ask and keep on
asking: until he' is sure he has found
the answer: "Lord,' what will Thou
tave -me to do!" ' The probability is
that 'to most of ;us ;that' answer will
be "Serve'me more unselfishly; where
you are: help out In the good work
which is being carried on in this city

can ' of -your means. " But - to others,
the '1 call '' will become ' Increasingly
clear and insistent: 'Go tell the
