do not believe that the commislion given by Christ should be slut Inor cut off bitweilbouldGo ye into all tbe world and preachthe gospel to every creature Jt
When we do this we are truly doingmissionary work for taking sending orin any way making it possible that thegospel be seut thereby carrying out the
Great Commission tis the only way todo mission work
We are however afraid that manyof those sent eut in the name of mlaalouariex forget the Commission ofChrist and go out with another ber+ jsuited to them which ia go into Secities towns and soft easy placeswhereowe can have a good time J1dcehrI allJIny

But it should not be the prme andgreatest cbejftot our missionaries atthe expense of rulnea and lost soul
In short we suggest that those maleobjec is to gather money be called flnauclai agents and our missionariesdo more of tbe real work assigned tothem by Christ

Some people go to the extreme andfeel that they have no right to giveanything to mission fo they say Thegospel Is free
It Iis free and so is water but thebucket cup or vessel in which it iaconveyed is not free ao it ia with thevessel in which the gospel ia conveyed
