"In the' mind of ' Jesus", Mr. McLarty pointed out. we discover that God is theF-ther, that he knows and pities us, that he knows the sparrow's fall, that he sends the rain on the just and on the u just. There too, we" discover the brother hood of men, not as a doctrine or as a theory, but as a fact, an experience. The kingdom of God is the federation of man,, the one far "o t divine event toward which the whole creation tends,, j "Jesus put himself in sympathetic identity w'th men. That is the spirit of missions. Paul was the great mis sionary because he had the mind of Christ. To have the mind of Christ is more important than methods for when we have that the' methods will follow." Bishop Strange Speaks. Bishop Robert Strange of Wilming- tdn spoke oh "The Duty, Opportunity and Privilege of Missions". His ad dress was characterized by a degree of eloquence and dramatic force that evidently - made it very enjoyable . to the audience. The duty ;6f obedience was the first divisions treated, . The Bishop made it very plain that' in his view every church communicant has a-very positive duty in connection with missions, and that it was either to gi or send.

Aft ernoon Session. The i afternoon session way called to order at 2:30 o'clock by S. M. Bnn- son, who presided, Rev. L. B. Padgett led in prayer.' Following this Mr. Brinson presented Rev. E. Q.- Cronk, of Columbia, S. C, who delivered .an address on -"The Call for Real Leader- hip." v The speaker dwelt in the main upon the subject of missions and the need of the spreading of the word of God in foreign fields. "Christ", he said, commands us to take the gospel all over the world. Some people don't believe in foreign missions, yet it h the rhing which the Lord instructed is disciples to do." Continuing he told of the great oporf unities which are now open for missions and urged the churches and ndividuals to awaken and do their part. Ihe Laymen s Missionary Movement" he said, "is one of the greatest church movements in the world and it is looking forward to evangelizing the whole world." - More Missionaries Needed. The speaker urged that more mis sionaries be sent out to foreign countries where' the natives were living in utter ignorance of the wonderful love of God He urged that the work be taken up right here at home and that if some -One would not go to foreign lands from this section, that the community as a whole donate more largely to the sup port of the cause, and thus assist in this great Work of 'eveangelization. At the conclusion of Rev. Cronk s address there was a series of prayers led by G. V. Richardson, L. L. Leary and Dr. H.. M. Bonner. Following this the laymen were given an op portunity of telling why they believed in missions. T. C. Etheridge said that one reason for his belief in missions was that it taught him to be hit. broth er's keeper. That he was responsible for the acts of his brother and it' was mpossible for a Christian not to be nterested in saving his brother. W. F. Aberly said that he believed In missions because God commanded them. Mr. Nye said he believed in them be cause, they aimea tat tne salvation of men in the uttermost parts of the earth. At tlhe' Conclusion of the discussion Rev: L, B. Padgett, State Secretary of the Laymen's Movement, made a short address on the subject of "Why I BelieKe In Missions and in the Lay man's Missionary Movement." He is a gifted speaker and his talk was filled w'kh. much food for thought. He said that he believed in missions mainly for the reason that he believed in God and that He commanded it. 'Men", he said, "are awakening more and more to the fact that Christ came into the 'world to save mankind and to give the gospel to all nations. Christ is for' the whole world and the people out yonder who have never heard of him are just as deserving of the gospel as r those right -in the -United States. .OTEwoVid is ; W great Irbfherhood and it wfr'iaii ;,to. neip our prowjers ,we are not.

SANATORIA ARE ESTABLISHED Insurance Companies Also En gaged In Strenuous War Against Disease. New York, Feb. 6. About $6,00O-r 000 was spent last year by fraternal organizations, labor unions and in surance companies in special fundi) for the treatment of their tuberculous members and policyholders, according to a statement issued today by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. . Sanatoria for the care of tuberculous membelte of such organizations have been established by four fraternal orders, The Royal League at Black Mountain, N. C, the Modern Woodmen of America at Colorado Springs, the Independent Order of Foresters at Rainbow Lake N. Y., and the Work men's Circle at Liberty, N. Y., The Loyal OrdeY of Moose have voted to erect a sanatorium and the Order oi Owls is considering the project. The Odd Fellows, Elks, Knights of Pythias and Knights of Columbus have all voted unfavorably against national sanatoria but have in each case made some provision for the care of tuber culous members . in already existing institutions near their homes. y Among the labor unions, the Printers and the Printing Pressmen are the only two national bodies having tuberculosis sanatoria, the former at Colorado Springs, and the latter at Rogersville, Tennessee. Active propaganda against tuberculosis among their members an carried on also among the Cigarmakrs Union, the National Brotherhood oi Operative Potters, the Photo-Engravers and several other similar groups. In some of the unions funds are set aside for the care of sick members. Insurance companies are also en gaged in a tuberculosis campaign. The Metropolitan Insurance Company is building a sanatorium at Mt. Mc-'' Gregor, N. Y., and is spending large sums every year in caring for its. sick policyholders. The Equitab'e, Pru dential, Postal and several others of the large companies are carrying on active 'educational campaings among their policyholders. i GIRLIS DDOWHED LIFELESS BODY OF ANNIE MOORE FOUND IN SOUND NEAR SWANSBORO.
