REV. BLATLOCK WRITES- FROM CHINA
China Direct Mission, i
' - Tai An Fu, Shantung, China
September 19, 1922.
Dear Brethren and Sisters:
For some time the
question of my returning to Atnerba
during the latter part ol this year to
do some important work needing to
be doneio for our mission has been
weighing upon our hearts and minds
And it is about this that I am writing
you.
The needs in our field of work here
are growing year by year. A few days
atro a man came in from a densely
populated community of towns a few
. ' m . 1 M I
miles west oi ine city, fie asKea way
, no one had visited there ia so long
. time to preach the Gospel. We have
a few Christians in that .region and
some seekers. But for several years
we have scarcely had time to make
them even a visit. In place after place
around the city where there are many
mnnv tsiama t.ha QftrrmdlrA nAAd fnP
' laborers exists. Apart from keeping
up with the work already begun, the
need in untouched towns and villages
is boundless. Considering these open
doors and the willingness of the peO'
pie to hear, never was the need of mis
sionaries so urgent. And we cannot
ignore or forget the fact that in get
ting in touch with prospective mission
airies and enabling them to get to the
field God uses means, and In ouf' mis
slon he has, almost without exception
used the missionary, who has had
some experience and knows and feels
the need of the field as no one else
can. It is true our new missionaries
, here will soon be able to be doing
work, but with these all able to shoul
der responsibility and go forward
preaching the Gospel, the need and
supply of missionaries for these mill
lions at our very door will scarcely
be begun to say nothing of the outly
ing region. What then about recruits
for this work? We know they are in
the Homeland, plenty of them. And
the means among our Free Indepen
dent unenlisted Baptists is more than
abundant to supply them. The one
thing remaining to be done now is for
some one under God to get in touch
with these and help them to find their
way into the midst of these lost peo
pio ana encourage enure nes to sup
port them.
At home, since the seventy-five mill
ion campaign, hundreds, if not thous
ands of churches have become dlssat
isficd with the methods of the South
ern Baptist Convention and are .not
yet lined up ia any foreign mission
work. And among many loyal nor
thern Baptists there Is now a great
opportunity for our work also. And
few of them even know about the Chi
na Direct Mission and how. they can
. give directly to Missions. Among
these churches and individuals there
are many young men and women upon
whom God is laying his hand and set
ting apart for Himself.
This all affords an opportunity for
special work now, such as never has
existed in the history of,, our Baptist
people. Shall this opportunity go
by and this door not be entered now?
If It does, it may -never come again.

the work which will fall so. heavilv
upon them, for the Cause of Christ
and future good of our work, are ask
ing me to go. They feel that while we
. are much needed here and though it
will bring extra hardships on them
that my life and work at home just
now will count for much more than
here, and that a years time there now
', will count for much more than any

Personally, neither my wife nor my

the road and up muoh at night always
preaching or talking. Yet we are
blood of Christ, and for his glory we
are willing to go, and if we go it will
be to labor and suffer for Him and
. Him alone. And we shall go feeling

are convinced that this is the time for
me to go, and that -perhaps on this
trip our mission paper and other
things might be gotten on such a ba
sis as to make it less needful to go
soon again. The body of. this letter
is a reprint from one written in Jan
uary.Jj Since then the need of our go
ing home appears even more urgent
Wehbpe now to be leaving China
about Christmas.
' Any free-will offerings sent us be
tween now and then for traveling ex
penses will be appreciated very much
but do not let these contributions in
terfere with your offerings' to the sup
port of our missionaries on the field
for above all, they must be supported
and our work here in China kept up
while we are away. The responsibil
ity upon them is great, because of the
call oh their time both In the city and
country was never greater. We have
baptized forty-five in the city this year
and the hope and opportunity in the
country work is even greater.
Pray for us and let us hear from
you upon receipt of this letter. Our

Your fellow-laborer,
T. L. BLAYLOCK,
We call your attention to the
page ad. on Lenoir s big trade
week. Dozens of wideawake
business houses, carrying almost
every imaginable line, have en
tered into a co-operative scheme
for the promotion of business,
and are offering wonderful bar
gams, useful prizes, etc.. as an
inducement for you to visit them
during that week. Read it
NO MERCHANT SERVES THE PUBLIC AS
MANY HOURS PER DAY AS
THE DRU66IST
No merchant must work for
the public as many long hours
each day as the druggist. Late
in the evening there may come
the urgent necessity foracertain
kind of drug. A physician is
working perhaps to save the lire
of some person in a critical con
dition. Where could he get the
drugs be absolutely must have
to make his work effective if it
werenoi ior tne drug storesr Al
most as much a necessity as the
skilled physician himself is the
skilled pharmacist back of him,
ready to deliver fresh, accurate
materials used by the physician
in combatting disease.
One can see at a glance that
these emergency calls are of no
great degree of frequency. The
profit on them would be small
not enough to pay the light bill
for one evening. So the drug
gist must sell you other things
you need in order that he may
be able to maintain the sort of
business to-which you will poss
ibly turn some day when it is ac
tually a question of life and
death. Your druggist is more
than a merchant
