;HURCHES AD THEIR 13 UN W i l.i i ull ISSIOERIES WILL FLOOD MEXICO WITH BIBLES AM BOOKS United Church Workers to Establish Schools and Col leges Workers Anxious to Return to Their Fields. Elaborate plans are belnc made by missionaries of all the Protestant denora Dillons in this country for an Invasion . Mexico, probably early this winter. Wtead of each 'denomination working lone in some certain territory, all of ;h0.a which had been represented In the f.ld previous to last spring, when the Visionaries had to leave the country ewlnj to the Mexican revolution, with the exception of the Episcopal Church ihd the Baptist Church (South), are to Vcrk In unison. The entire program, as outlined, the outcome of a conference of the mission bcird" officials In Cincinnati. O.. early th!s summer, is to be one of a con structive character. .Instead of carrying rides and cartridges the next army to gb to the southern republic will carry Bibles and books. It Is planned to estab llh one church of the Protestant denom- imtlon to be known as "The Evangelical Church of Mexico." Even the press Is to be included In tne program, ana one z publication Is to bo founded to fur ther the cause of tho now denomination. SCHOOLS TO BE ESTABLISHED. ' There seems to be, In the minds of the returned missionaries, more need of 'education than anything else In Mexico toi?et the people Interested in the church, and .with every church that Is eBtab Uihed It Is hoped to have a school In which the elementary branches will be taught H is thought that at first the ichools will attempt only to train the pupils through the 3lxth grade, but the ultimate plan is to have nigner scnoois, one tig university and one theological seminary which wilt train the native men and women whom are persuaded to en ter Christian work. The missionaries in this country, who irere recalled, are anxious to return, and hive been urging their boards to arrange to send them at the earliest possible date. It Is believed bv some that the Invasion may be begun before the New Year, and this will be much to the pleasure of those ho believe that they should be there to give the Mexican children some Christ mas parties Leaders In tho work, how ever, are not certain when the order will emlnarv. which will train the native men and women who are persuaded to enter Christian work. WORKERS ANXIOUS TO RETURN. Since the "Liberal" leaders have as wmed charge of affairs in the greater part of the republic, reports have come to the missionaries from friends thnt the Government is turning many of the Cath olic churches Into Institutions and even the homes of the prlestH and the con vents are being taken for housing soldiers and providing playgrounds and other - amusement places. On this account some .of the missionaries are fearful that the ofpVople miv become estranged from re 'uildus work, and It may prove difficult to 1,'jet them to take an Interest In anything I that has to do witn the Christian Church It The Friendly Path "The Friendly Path" we hope shall each week carry some message of good cheer and helpfulness. It Is to be opti mistic and to strive always to find the best in everything. Bad can only be Improved to the great est extent by copying after the best In life. The helping hand always wins more battle and does more good than the one that trice to win by hard blows. The man who criticises the laws and their makers, but never goes to the polls, could see the greatest enemy of the na tion by looking Into a mirror. V,'e have known men down In the slums, lost to friends, and sometimes wearing the pallor of the prison cell, who were good at heart, but whose lives were shattered by the sting of distrust and unkind words, when a few words of cheer and kindness would have started them on their way to successful lives and happiness. Let lis stroll together down "The Friendly Path" and find the peace and Joy that comes through looking for tho good things that are scattered about us everywhere. ' ', WORKERS-RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES OF ALL DENOMINATIONS ,. i . ... ' : u T-' '. ' GLEANINGS FROM RELIGIOUS PRESS The motive may be good but the wis dom of teaching the children of New York city "war geography," going over with them tho movements of the various armies In tholr sanguinary maneuvers, can be seriously questioned. The Inno cent generation will hear and read enough of the murderous procedure with out special direction from their eldets. Northwestern Christian Advocate. YOUR WASTINGS Rubbish Is God's opportunity for riches. The things that are dteplsed He loves to turn Into things that are a delight. Even the world Is discovering this principle In commenlng on the amazing value of for mally neglected by-products It has inon said: "Men have discovered that waste is too rich to be neglected, without It, the world Is too pbor " Discarded turkey quilts are today enriching not only the world's commerce, hut the world-wide work of the Sunday school through the gifts of a well-known Inventor And when we give God unhindered control of our own wasted lives He can capitalize our waste into such Immediate and un measured wealth for ourselves and for otners as only the mltacle-alchomy of Heaven could accomplish. It Is the base thing? and the things that are despised that God rejoices to touch, transform and use for His own glory. If we are sure that there is waste and rubbish In our own life, we may be equally sure that ours is the life that God can immediately make wealthy. Sunday School Times. SMILE Smtle a smile.
